[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7528187, member: 9255"] SHADOW WAR SEGMENT 025 “PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS” 11/24/18 LHARVION 21, 1003 Tabask sits in a corner and meditates surrounded by incense and rune marked sticks of wood. He is working his divine magic to contact his ancestral family line. The others sit and try not to stare or look at anything. Sarfuold is not so concerned. He checks out the hallway and moves about freely. Tabask’s conscious drifts and he reaches out to contact his father’s human ancestry. “Will good come from meeting this dragon?” He waits as he tries to sense any reply. The sensation is warm and positive. Tabask believes this is a good reply. “Should we return to the ship?” A long pause before he feels a cold chill. Bad?
