A Fallen Angel

[The_Universe]

Started this thread for the questioning of Arissa Woodshadow.

You tell me where she is and what you're doing, and you can start questioning her.

[Laurel]

I would assume once the dust settles our needs are focused towards Hywrl. We have a prison that is already set up for a spell caster, future plans to make, and people to tell bad news to, amongst other things.
So I'd say at least for the start we might as well stick AW in the Hywrl prison, and I would think we start to question her soon thereafter if not the next day.
Since it is just her and there's extra room in the spacious cell do we want to be inside the room? Outside looking through bars?
I figure inside we just stand around, but group thoughts?

[The_Universe]

Outside looking through bars?

That's the safest. Even without magic, she's probably a mean combatant.

You can consider the scene set:

The creature huddled in a dark corner of the completely sealed room is at once ancient and angelic, her unlined but dirty face a living contradiction to the age you can see in her cold, dead eyes. You know that she was not always like this. Her nobility has been replaced with savagery; her cold eyes cut through you from beneath the shadow of her feathered wings. She does not speak - not yet at least.

This is Arissa Woodshadow, and even in her prostrated state, she is intimidating. If she were loose...you shudder at the though. She is not, and you have much that you must learn.

L'Aurel looks closely at her...aunt? At least she would have been something similar before her own death. Now, she could not be so sure. She watches every movement, tracing them...watching them.

She has walked the shadowpath, just as L'Aurel has: but there is something more. Another evil within her. L'Aurel can't explain it...but she knows it's there.

[Xath]

(The pieces of "shadowstone" that we found in Ara Arendorr and Henry Hansbury. Except we don't actually know if they are shadowstone so I didn't know what to call them except for those little black stone chippies.)

(got it. None were or are visible.)

Was Jansten able to look at her before she went into the antimagic field? Could he see any magical residues that look unusual for a spellcaster?

((She would detect as a powerful, evil spellcaster - not in the Bluestar's league, of course...but more powerful (as a spellcaster) than any of you but Jansten...and that would be a close race.))

[Laurel]

The smile of a stranger shadow's L'Aurel's face, "A-rissa" she calls softly almost singing the name.

[The_Universe]

A growl emerges from the shadow of her wings, "What?"

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

Justice steps back, finding it hard to look into the cell that now seems more like a cage. If it was possible for her to fear, she would feel it now.

L'Aurel's smile stays harsh as she looks into the cell, "Looks like someone got caught. Too bad you get more of a chance then my Alain got."

((Is that how Nightgrove sr. spelled his name?))

[The_Universe]

((That's correct for the name))

"Alain was a fool to believe that you were who you appear to be. I left him there to die: merely not soon enough."

"Oh in many ways I am just who I appear to be, ancient."

"The King knows, now. Laren will have carried the news back to him with your friend's blade. There are not so many of them left, now...the search is almost completed. You've already lost. You know that, don't you?"

[Laurel]

"What news will he have carried? Not even news, a story that is short and unimpressive."

[The_Universe]

"Selura is dead. You are not she. He will know!"
