Academy of Drell, Part III

Zhure

First Post
Rallyn suggests tackling the manta-ray shaped shadowy form.

Keith asks Yodwin if he has any additional information.

Yodwin: "No, it's all so fuzzy. I just know Xargon is the worst thing we could possibly deal with. I think I need to try to sleep... maybe I'll be more clear-headed then."

Jotunland is the mythical frozen north. Some legends indicate it's the pathway to the netherworld, analagous to our River Styx legends. If such a place really exists, it's far too inhospitable for the Empire to care about it for settlement.

Arana retrieves her spellbook since her trap seemingly failed. She returns to the library.

Serbanas speaks up.

"Perhaps we should let the old man sleep. Everthing seems calmed down for now... let us go speak with Coles in the morning regarding what has occurred."

Fine... it seems we have much to discuss in the morning...

Keith nods and gestures with a smile, forced as it is, "Good eve then Yodwin the Blue and perhaps you shall sleep well. And yes Serbanas we should speak with Coles.. and then decide what to do about Xargon and his tome."

Keith then turns on his heels and exits glancing to Charlotte and then walks out towards the main inner court...

Keith speaks to Kith as he leaves in Elven, "Sorry about all that, but I needed to hear for myself what Yodwin knew.. no hard feelings eh?"

Not that I care but one must try to be ammicable...

Keith exits...

Charlotte nods in acknowledgement of Keith's glance.

Finally... that took long enough...

She heads out after him.

"Keith," She asks once she catches up to him, "what happened in there?"

Hmmm what happened... indeed

Keith pauses midstep and looks to Charlotte, "Yodwin explained that the this being that attacked the library was Xargon... an eternal being or something to that effect... and that he was searching for his lost book... it is important though I am not sure as to why. Yodwin may know more but the old man is addled... we will have to speak with Cole in the morning... it all seems strange to me."

Confusing is more the word...

"That is about it."

Kith speaks

Kith’s eye widens in surprise. Then returns to its normal half lidded state.

“Heh, nope, no hard feelings.” He claps Keith on the shoulder.

As they leave Kith looks around taking stock in who remains.

“Humph. Well we can discuss this at length, or we can see what Rallyn and Victor are trailing. Turin isn’t describing it well.” Kith sees Arana entering, “ Ahhh, Arranna perhaps you can tell us something about the flying ‘Cloaky Thingy’ you all were stalkin’.”

He smiles warmly at her scowl. Why does she not like me? I swear Kith ole’ boy your losing your touch… They say that goes first, he-he Shush you! Pay attention to the Cloaky-Thingy. *Yawn * Bored now. Sleeeeeppy

Kith sighs and awaits the others decision.
 

So, that's all?

"Okay - so an immortal guy came in, and was looking for a book that Yodwin had." Charlotte shakes her head. "I guess I still don't understand it, but if we are going to talk to Cole in the morning, then I suppose we can wait until then to get some real answers."
 

Keith leans against the wall on the outside of the Library, "That is all I could get besides the fact that this Xargon protects the Empire from the incursion of the Giants of Jotunland... again... i am not sure how much of this is useful..."

Better off to burn the damn thing then no one can get a hold of it...

"But talking to Coles should shed some light... I don't understand either..."

Keith seems abit more at ease now.. much of his calm veneer receeding, "Just have to wait till the morning."
 

Perhaps she has an idea... I feel somehwat at a loss of what to do...

Keith gestures to Charlotte, "So now what should we do? I am for one somewhat frustrated that we have to wait till the morning before we can fully hash out the details..."
 

Why is he asking me? He is the one who was talking to Yodwin. I've just been standing around, wasting air.

"I'm not sure, Keith." Charlotte says, in an uncertain voice. "There's not much we can do until morning..."

Her voice trails off, and a look of hard thought crosses her face.

Maybe we should go talk to Coles now. If he's involved in this in any way, and is aware that we are going to talk to him in the morning, then all we are doing is giving him time to come up with an excuse, or something.

I'm no good at this sneaky stuff! I'd like to just go and talk to Coles, but of course we'd more than likely get in trouble if we did so... after all, we are just students...

"Yes, we can't do much until morning. I was thinking of something, but we can't very well do that."
