[QUOTE="JoeNotCharles, post: 5017582, member: 79945"] [sblock=Shifting Seas] Rabbit actually wouldn't know that 6 Eagle had left for an "astral journey" - he believes that the "Shifting Seas" means the Transitive Isles (an actual sea where the islands shift around). It's certainly possible that he's wrong, but that's where I was going when I wrote the backstory. So I'm going to interpret it as the other way around - he recognizes in 6 Eagle the signs of someone whose soul is missing, and realizes from that that he's gone on an astral journey. That ok? [/sblock] 7 Rabbit murmers sadly to himself, still gazing into his brothers eyes. As he muses, his words gain conviction, ending with a violent oath. [sblock=Magari] [color=DarkOrange] "Oh, my poor brother. Your eyes are empty. Where is the soul behind them? Have you been following the condor's flight? Why? You are no mystic, no priest. You were - you [i]are[/i] a warrior! I swear I will find what distant sky you visited and bring your soul back to join your heart!" [/color] [/sblock] He wheels to face the githyanki prisoner, one hand still on 6 Eagle's arm. [color=DarkOrange]"What did you just say?"[/color] he demands. [color=DarkOrange]"Something about a ritual and a soul?"[/color] [sblock=Diplomacy] [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2337911/]Diplomacy (1d20+3=10)[/url] I'll assume that means the gith doesn't repeat himself, but to keep things moving I'll also assume Mri'Thas or somebody fills him in. [/sblock] Rabbit turns back to 6 Eagle. [color=DarkOrange]"Ah! Good idea - your mage was quite right, these two have been lost on a spiritual journey, and it should be possible for us to trace that journey to wherever they are now. Or at least where their journey began."[/color] He examines both 6 Eagle and the halfling carefully. [sblock=Arcana] [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2337913/]Arcana (1d20+9=26, 1d20+9=29)[/url] Woo! 26 to find an arcane signature on 6 Eagle, 29 on the halfling! Man, if somebody can Aid Another, I can get that second roll up to DC 30! Not sure if that's allowed post-facto, though. [/sblock] As he prods at them, he offhandedly asks, [color=DarkOrange]"By the way, has anyone ever heard of the 'Shadow Man'?"[/color] [sblock=History] [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2337921/]History (1d20+9=23)[/url] [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
