[QUOTE="Bobitron, post: 2049461, member: 25479"] After a few minutes, the torch in the room flickers rapidly, and then settles back into its normal rhythm. You sense a new presence in the room. Looking around the tomb carefully, you spot a figure concealed by a pillar, wrapped in a deep blue cloak. The cloak billows out to the sides as though caught in a breeze, even though the air in the tomb is rather stagnant. The figure steps out from behind the pillar and speaks. [COLOR=YellowGreen]“Chosen of the Flame; Believers in the true and sacred undertaking of the Lodge. I have gathered you here to answer a threat to the secrecy of our mission.”[/COLOR] Her voice is incredibly musical and clear, the same one you remember from your initial contact with the Faithful. Her cloak is topped with a large hood that conceals her visage in deep shadow. [COLOR=YellowGreen]“Father Cilain [/COLOR] [COLOR=DimGray][ooc] pronounced Sil-ane [/ooc][/COLOR][COLOR=YellowGreen] of Sigilstar has revealed our sacred presence through research and investigation.
