What's Goin' On Here?

OOC:

At this point (assuming nothing else arrives to attack you in the night) you guys have some talking to do. Continue speaking amongst yourselves and to the NPCs, learn a bit more about each other's characters, figure out as much as you can about what went on here, and role play your transformation from a collection of individuals into the beginnings of an adventuring party. There are several avenues of inquiry for your edification and amusement!

Cerallos

"So it's left to coincidence wether or not that thing and the skeletons left at the moment you got this orb out of this circle? That's too big of a coincidence for me, especially the fight that shadow creature was putting up. And I almost felt like he was holding back on us, as if sizing us all up. Isn't this Master Sorden's room, what is this doing in here? Before all this began, when I was awoken from the screams, I talked to him outside this room, and he said he was interupted from his 'rituals', I respected his practices for I have prayers of my own and I asked him to continue. I don't want to point fingers, but I have a bad feeling about this, and so far tonight, my bad feelings have come true."
"In the chaos of tonight, my memory fails me on one thing in particular, whatever happened to Master Sorden? I unfortunately remember what happened to poor Master Eadon. You don't suppose, Master Sorden somehow chanelled that shadow creature through Master Eadon, do you? Again, I don't mean to accuse, but there are some signs that I can't ignore."
Cerallos takes another drink from his waterskin, and offers some to Bear and Scath, "Would either of you care for a drink of water?"

OOC: Mike is it general knowledge that Faye do not require food or water to survive. I didn't know if this is something that Cerallos would know or not, I didn't want him to risk the chance of being rude to little man!

Gavril

"Didious, quit cowering back there and find my dagger. The excitement seems to be over for the moment. Get yourself a drink to steady yourself and see if there is any wine left." He too glances outside at the heaps of bones. "Gods, I didn't know so many people had ever lived in this mudpuddle of a place." He makes his way painfully upstairs to see what has happened.

OOC:

Almost nothing about the Fae is 'general knowledge.' You may have a small bit of 'knowledge' of them from your religious background, and Gavril may 'know' a little of them from his studies, but almost everything that is 'known' (and that is very little) is the stuff of legend and myth, and not true knowledge at all.

Cerallos may make a KS: Religion roll to determine what he's heard about the Fae from Iobert's teachings.

 

[Pan]

Making no bones about...

Re-entering the tavern Daesaigh goes straight upstairs and into the room of the praying man (whose name escapes me) and tears it apart looking for anything that might help him to solve this mystery. No matress unturned, no candle unbroken.

OOC: Do I need to roll perception?

 

[Mattress]

Athelstan ventures aloud:

Perhaps we should examine the Urn of Harrassement closer and see if there's anything else to discern from it? At the very least, wouldn't it be wise to keep it under close observation?

Upon re-realizing the state of his undress, he slowly and discreetly pulls his cloak about his body, lowers his head and walks to the doorway leading to the kitchen. He enters and stands around for a few moments, allowing for time that the others will continue with their conversation and tasks and hopefully forgetting him. After a minute or two, hood covering his head now, he exits the kitchen and goes back upstairs to his room to clothe himself and curse himself for his state of carelessness concerning his obviously-witnessed skin.

Illé Sorden left nothing in his room except the Censer (which is now lying open on the floor, with a trail of ash between it and the protective circle.

A couple of things happen to Athelstan while he's downstairs.

First, Dorothea and Abel Still come hesitantly out of their room where they were hiding (along with the other patrons of the Wick). There is mixed joy and sorrow on their faces as they confront Athelstan. "Our children have returned to us! Usta and Jinny are harmed, but alive. Aved is restored to us as well, but only for burial. Our thanks go to you and to the other warriors here tonight, who saved our lives and livelihood."

Second, as Athelstan is slipping back out of the kitchen and toward the stairs, he notices Gealach huddled over the shredded remains of Eadon Marsh. Gealach's back is to Athelstan, so he cannot see what Gealach is doing.

OOC: Would Cerallos recognize any of the symbols or markings from his training?

Well, it seems that Cerallos absorbed a few legends of the Fae at his Master's knee after all. Pays to pay attention in class, I guess!

For Cerallos only:

[sblock]Cerallos is aware of the following 'facts' about the Fae:

1. They feed on emotion, and tastes for type of emotion differ much as tastes for food differ between humans.
2. They can eat food, and some enjoy the sensual stimulation food offers, but they derive no nourishment from it.
3. They are frequently mischievious, and often appear to be amoral (not immoral) as humans understand the term 'morality.'[/sblock]

Cerallos may make another KS: Religion roll to see if he recognizes the markings on the Censer.
