[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 5860576, member: 11520"] Kendra closes the drapes knowing that the locals would frown on such a seance in their village. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"I found some information that may help."[/COLOR] She holds up a page of notes she copied in a thin precise script from one of the books in her father's collection. After consulting the notes she places a white table cloth on the table under the board. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"A symbol of the purity of our purpose. It is good that there are three of us, for three is a mystical number of considerable power in these matters."[/COLOR] She hands each of you a candle and she lights a from the coals in the fire and joins you around the table. As she lights your candles from her she intones. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"Three times we call to the spirits and offer up this flame to light your way."[/COLOR] She motions for each of you to pass the candles to the right and intones again. Then you pass the candles again as she intones the third time. You have now each touched all the candles and you place them to your right on the table so that there is a light burning between each of you. She reads from the paper again and lights a stick of incense from a candle. The smell of sandalwood fills the room and clears your head. She continues by lightly resting her fingers on the Planchette. You can't help noting the warmth and softness of her touch. She looks each of you in the eyes as if giving you one last chance to back out. She glaces at her notes again. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"Now concentrate your mind. Focus on the Planchette, I believe you both have some knowledge of the magical arts? Good, act as though you were concentration on maintaining a spell."[/COLOR] She moves the planchette in three circles around the board and then takes a hand away to pass the incense over it and over each of you in turn. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"] "The veil has thinned, the flame is bright and I blend this magic all that is right. Celebrating life and death and rebirth with these herbs I've harvested from the earth. I send my intent by smoke in the air and call on those whose blood I share. I ask my ancestors to guide and watch over me, As I will, so it shall be."[/COLOR] As she places her fingers back on the Planchette the candles flicker though there should be no breeze in the cozy home. You feel a chill and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. The Planchette begins to move lazily with no clear purpose. You concentrate and feel the cold brass slide about. Suddenly after a couple of minutes, the table lurches as if someone had stood abruptly banging into. Yet each of you is still with your hands still on the Planchette. She looks to Vadim and speaks in a strained voice,[COLOR="DarkOrchid"] "Ask your question." [/COLOR] and Vadim does so: [COLOR="Orange"]"Did a member of the Whispering Way kill Professor Lorrimor?"[/COLOR] You feel the Planchette break from its lazy aimless swirls and can barely keep your fingers on it. It moves toward 'maybe' and then unerringly slides to point at 'Yes' before jerking to a stop. OOC: DC11 Will save please Vadim. [/QUOTE]
