Academy of Drell, Part II

Sildarin shakes Yodwin, trying to awaken him. Yodwin blinks his eyes and looks up with a clear-headed gaze.

"Sildarin? What're are you doing here? Did I oversleep?"

Arana, Maerath and Victor gather together as they travel across the square. Squeekie has reported his sighting of something odd, as well as Victor having heard something....

Squeekie didn't spot anyone until after you left your room. Same for Victor hearing something.

Victor draws his sword and quickly and quietly stalks to the source of the sound he heard. Another one of the inky black things flitters across the compound a few feet away from you. It appears as if it hasn't seen you, but it certainly looks like it is seeking something, or tracking something.

Kith speaks to the now awakened Yodwin about the "creepy-shadow guy, shadow minions" and a few other things.

Yodwin looks baffled. "I had a strange dream, but don't know what you're talking about."

Kith believes Yodwin is lying.

Should go check on Yodwin. They might need some help with waking him.

Charlotte walks to Yodwin's study.

"Kith, Sildarin - have you managed to wake him?" She asks those standing around.

Seeing that Yodwin is awake, Charlotte addresses him.

"Yodwin, we were attacked by some shadowy things in the library. Someone said something about a book... and I think mentioned your name. Do you know what's going on?"

Hopefully Yodwin will know what's going on... otherwise, what else are we going to do? No one outside the library seemed to have noticed that we were fighting the shadow things, other than that singer, who came in and got involved. I hope that nothing big is going on...
 

Sildarin is visibly relieved when Yodwin wakes up.
"Atleast you're okay... that's all that matters."

He raises up and moves away from Yodwin, allowing people who are more skilled in talking explain the situation and take the lead.

Thank goodnes he's alright.
You were really worried, weren't you?
Of course! Had I been more skilled or reacted faster, it would've been possible to save him completely from harm.
You can't know that! Don't blame yourself!
I just keep thinking that I could've saved him...
You can't always save everybody, especially considering you don't dare speak up infront of people.
Maybe you're right...
 

Victor gestures to the others to stay back and continues stalking the creature.
What is it doing? What is it looking for?


I'll try to spy on the creature as long as it doesnt notice me, then I'll attack it (If he notices me, but ignores me, I'll take a good look at what it's doing)
Spot 2+1=3, Listen 10+8=18, Move silently 18+1-1=18, Hide 20+1-1=20, Initiative (if you need it) 10+1=11
 

Kith looks relived when Yodwin sits up. He asks Yodwin about the Creepy-Shadow-Guy -and the Shadow-Minions. His face is still aged with worry.

Yodwin looks baffled. "I had a strange dream, but don't know what you're talking about."

Kith’s left eyebrow shoots up. Then his face settles and eases back into the youthful mask of mischief everyone is used too.

“That’s good Yodwin,” Kith chuckles, “You know how I worry about you kids. Maybe after you gather your wits we can look into this. At least it should be reported to the HeadMasters, and you should see a Healer. Sildarin took a heavy burdened from you.”

“Speaking of which, Sildarin are you okay?”

Kith steps over to Siladrin and speaks softly, “You did a good job in here today.”

He turns to Charlotte hearing her question Yodwin.

“Its okay you guys, here lets give Yodwin some time to wake up and gather himself together, before we begin with the twenty questions.”

Kith tries to usher the others out.

“Speaking of questions, did you think to alert the staff while you were ‘out gathering your things’.” Kiths left eyebrow hovers suggestively. Seeing the color rise on Charlottes cheeks, he chuckles.

Sense Motive !!25!! (roll 20+5 bonus, holly smokes their goes my crit in the next combat…)

“I see, well hopefully Ryllan has gotten the Guards together and rounded up a Healer.”
 

I hate you, Kith... I'm going to skewer you one of these days...

Charlotte glares at Kith for a moment, then leaves Yodwin's room.

Once out of the room, she questions Kith calmly and without any show of emotion.

"Have you managed to find anything?" She asks in a cold voice. "Apparently, no one outside the library, aside from the singer, heard or saw anything. I think that's somewhat... odd."

She then lowers her voice so that no one else can hear her.

"Now, listen close: my personal life is none of your concern. I do not need to okay anything with you, nor do I require your comments. I will allow you to think your thoughts, but if you voice them..." She taps her rapier's hilt meaningfully.

She then continues on in a normal voice. "Do you know what book it was the voice was talking about, and if so, is it still here?"

I will kill him... but not now, now we need to work together... later, once this is all over... then I'm going to skewer him like the dog he is...
 


Sildarin goes all red when Kith congratulates him for what he did.
"It... was nothing... really.... I just.... did what... every... body would've... done... I'm... fine.... thanks...."

He turns away from Kith's friendly face, ashamed of drawing attention at himself.

This time it was YOU who got some attention to us!
I know. It... doesn't feel so bad afterall...
I told ya so! Just don't let it get to your head!
I won't, believe me. I just can't take being in the spotlight.
It seems people are getting their traveling equipment, we should too.
But nobody was supposed to be alone?
Ohh!! Do I have to do everything myself? Ask somebody to come with you!
I didn't think of that...
That's why I'm the boss.


Carefully, he raises his voice.
"Excuse me.... could... somebody... come with... me... so I... could... get my... stuff?"
 

Arana follows Victor

"No offense, Maerath. But you best stay here for the moment. I've seen the way you move and stealth is probably not your best attribute."

Arana moves like a cat as she stalks noiselessly after Victor, while Fian moves like an elf as her follows Arana. [color=sky blue](OOC: Arana's move silently roll: 20!!!!! + 4 ranks + 2 dex = 26; Fian's move silently roll: 4 + 9 bonus = 13)[/color] She draws an arrow from her quiver and notches it on her bow, ready to fire at any threat.

When she gets to Victor, she taps his shoulder for attention. He turns and smiles at her. She points to herself, pats herself on the back and gestures upward with her thumb. He turns toward the black, oily creature and they watch what its actions. [color=sky blue](OOC: Spot roll: 18 + 1 wis + 2 alert = 21; Listen roll: 18 + 4 ranks + 1 wis + 2 alert = 25; Arana's hide roll: 11 + 2 dex = 13; Fian's hide roll: 10 + 17 = 27;Initiative: 1 + 2 dex = 3)[/color]

Keith watches the exchange between Kith and Charlotte with dispassioned concern. He adjusts his rapier and and his over coat for easier access.

Easy Charlotte... he wants to rile you up... he wants to stoke the fires in your heart...

"For now," he says calmly, "we have our health and Yodwin is safe Kith, and as far as the guards there were none around... I doubt have even noticed what has transpired here... which only serves to raise more questions..."

Stay calm Keith... let him insuate what he wishes...

"Charlotte, I think we should stick around here for a bit... to see what Yodwin has to say when he fully recovers..."
