A bewildered half-elf coachman moves through them as he takes in the spectacle of the place.  "All my time serving The Lady and I've never been in here," says Norlamir."Come, sit" says the figure in the armchair.  Norlamir does and the fire reflects off the side of his face.  "We're both busy men so I won't mince words.  You received my message, but I garnered no response.  Its been a full evening since that time."The figure leans in.  "These are dangerous people Norlamir.  They will gut your loved ones at best...at worst, they'll make you do the gutting and carry on in your misery.  You will take them to where you dropped off the merchants and the boy before the dawn breaks full."The firelight illuminates Loremaster Seekingstone's spectacles and the menace is too much for Norlamir to bear...[HR][/HR]CHANGED CURRENT SITUATIONAs the children gather at his feet on the stone steps, Ressilmae cocks his head at Lief; the shifter's words and the intensity of his presentation of them.  "Be unafraid children.  This gentleman means you no harm."  Without breaking eye contact, he calls over his shoulder to the oldest among the children, "Elyssa.  Please take up instrument and lead everyone in song while I talk to our friend her in the portico."Elyssa does.The first note is so discordant, that it stuns Elyssa.  It certainly stuns the elven priest as he throws his head back and his hands to his ears, pained expression taking him.  Elyssa, sure the instrument was mistaken in its oddly produced sound, produces several more notes in succession.The instrument was not mistaken; the work of The Elect.Ressilmae stumbles a step backward, throws his hands over his ears, and begins to lose his balance and topple down the precarious stair.  A horribly injurious fall looming.[HR][/HR]What does Lief do?  HARD DC.</blockquote>
