[EBERRON] the Extraordinaries, 'A Terror Awakened, the League Reborn'

"Well, do we have any requests for these trinkets? Surely, Azreal, there is no replacing your beloved scimitar, but these seem quite nice. To say the least."

"You are more than kind, Neville," Azreal replied, his face long on the thoughts of his beloved scimitar. He would track down those theives when they returned - - perhaps he could enlist the rest of the League. "I will be happy with whatever weapon you provide . . . but I will still be going after my scimitar when we return."

Azreal gets the idea that the symbols do have some kind of arcane significance, but he can’t discern what type. They also do have some religious meaning, being very similar to symbols he has seen when associated to the Dark Six, mostly with the Keeper, but again he is not completely sure why or how.

"Azreal, could you trace in the sand these symbols? Perhaps I have come across them in my studies...I would like to know what this is before I disturb the symbols. It is a great tragedy for the bodies of any, faithful of my faith and enemies of the faith, to be used in dire rituals without their consent."

When Azreal traces out the closes symbols into the hard dirt, Marcus can also see that they do have some kind of religious and arcane significance, he can not tell exactly what kind though. It also appears that they do have some ties with the planes also… they do not seem to make sense, almost random. He also feels uncomfortable thinking to hard about the symbols and somehow he starts thinking it might have something to do with the plane of madness - Xoriat! (it is almost as if the 'idea' just popped into Marcus's head)

As the diviners make their marks in the earth, Neville frowns from beneath his Van Dyke. Curse this wretched place![/]i, he thinks as he scratches the white stubble on his face. "Well, knowing it is evil is a given. If we can't tell how dangerous it is, let's stay away from the center of it, shall we?" After conferring with Azreal about there the bulk of the 'symbols' lie, he will lead the group around the north or south face. South would be preferable (away from the center if this vile land), but whichever is not as close to the rest of these piles.

(OOC-Speak up for loot, kids! I'm not itching for any of it just yet.)

Fury stands impassively over the team as they ponder the meanings of the corpses. I will never understand the significance that the other races place upon the bodies of the deceased. They have no life within, and yet they treasure the empty shells of those they never even knew. After coolly contemplating the situation for a few long, stationary moments, he starts to walk around the perimeter of the area to ensure it is safe. When Rathbone appears ready to move on, he follows the old man's lead into the dark landscape.

As Azreal traces the symbols Taran searches the deep recesses of his teachers lessons. What do these symbols mean? They seem so familiar and yet so alien.

OOC - Knowledge (Arcana) +10, Knowledge (Nature) +9 -> Maybe something from the druids teachings knew something. I figure it's a shot in the dark but sometimes they hit.

While still pondering the deeper meaning of the symbols he approaches Azreal. "Friend, if I might inquire about the spell you used before to throw your sword. Wouldn't that be useful with the greataxe or similar weapon? I only ask because it was such a marvelous ability in our last battle."

Turning towards Neville, "If possible I would like to investigate the rod more closely. I am unfamiliar with the magics of the Artificer but my curiousity abounds. But if someone else can make use of the device by all means, if I can ask them questions later."

"Friend, if I might inquire about the spell you used before to throw your sword. Wouldn't that be useful with the greataxe or similar weapon? I only ask because it was such a marvelous ability in our last battle."

"Indeed, Taran, it might at that," Azreal mused. "Either one would serve me well, the axe or the spear, and each have their . . . detractions. I will be appreciative of either . . . though I am leaning toward the spear, if I may have it."

Azreal relayed his thoughts on the symbols, in hopes that by combining their insights, they may learn something more.

Amon looks on the field of carnage, he'd seen... performed ...so much carnage up close and personal during the Last War that the sight of these piles of bodies only disgusted him on an aesthetic level, cluttering up the landscape.

When Azreal traces the patterns into the ground and the others examine them, he remembers the various moments of study spent as Kael al'Shara, a researcher at the Korranberg Library. Piecing them together, he attempts to draw some conclusions, adding his input, in Gherald's cracked and raspy voice, to the examination but too much time has passed since he's spent an hour leafing through the whispy pages and no images or conclusions come to him.

"I have my sword and bow and will fight with tooth and claw if that is what it takes to see this mission done. You know your abilities far more than I do. If you can make use of any of the objects be my guest." He says will swinging his gaze around the assembled group. "Does anyone have anything against Azreal using the spear, or did anyone else seek the object themselves?" After a short pause he continues, "And what of you, friend Neville, what say you? I seek to not overstep my boundaries but am afraid I have spent too much time alone in the desert, and not enough with people."
