Atlas

*Atlas sit down with the items and attempt to perform the ceremony to speak with the recently departed.*

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*As Atlas calls upon the statue, he feels a wash of power flow into him from the ground. The eyes of the grayfolk flutter open suddenly, and their mouths work wetly, a faint whimper escaping.*

"Wh-hat?"

 

[rangerjohn]

OOC: Did Atlas inadvertantly revive the grey folk? Or is the poetics? In other words did Atlas cast raise dead or speak with dead?

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Atlas seems to be speaking to the spirits of the grayfolk through their dead bodies.*

[OOC - speak with dead]

 

[Jaws]

*As Atlas calls upon the statue, he feels a wash of power flow into him from the ground. The eyes of the grayfolk flutter open suddenly, and their mouths work wetly, a faint whimper escaping.*

"Wh-hat?"

*After seeing that, Wil is confused by his decision and goes about things similar to what Kelthet is doing.*

Ji-Hecma, what have I done? Spirits should be able to choose when they want to speak. Not forced to. I only wanted Atlas to take charge.

Atlas

"I regret to disturb you. But is there anything you can tell us, to help complete our quest?" *Atlas says revrently.*

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Help.. y-ou... green-danger, sl-ime danger. Wall-careful. Cle-ear wall, kills you. Slimes, oo-oozes near water, kills you. Darkfolk, near dark colors, wa-atch from sha-adows, try to take y-you away, be-eware. Blue, indigo, the-ey lurk, beware. Cruel, greedy, cowards, if more of you tha-an them, can bargin or bully your wa-ay through. Beware the Sh-shadow Serpant, darkfolk help him, te-ell him about-t you," the two grayfolk murmur brokenly.

 

[rangerjohn]

"I thank you my friend. May you have a successful afterlife, and we complete our task." *With that Atlas closes the ceremony and turns to others, for thier impressions.*

Dak

"I reckon you're life's champion, and I reckon you jess he'ped save our lives. That was powerful hard for you; I know it. But them grey folks knew things that we needed to know...to he'p the earth and set it right."

"It ain't for me to judge your rights and wrongs, Mr. Gi'nt. But I reckon you done right by them and us."

*Dak gives Atlas a deep nod of respect and appreciation and turns to hear what the rest of the group has to say.*

 

[Rybaer]

"I'm no expert in things magical, but I do know a few things here," Leesea says. "Frankly, I don't think that magic is actually disturbing the rest of the deceased. Rather, I suspect that it ties in some way to the Akashic memory - the shared memory of all things. Likely, it is just allowing their memories to speak on their behalf.

"And either way, I agree that the information gained may save our lives. The grayfolk most certainly would have wanted to impart such knowledge to us for the sake of our quest."
