Message: <blockquote data-quote="Erekose13" data-source="post: 988051" data-attributes="member: 3387">Clairsentient ProminitionsIn responce to Syfis' question, Burton says, "Yup he did speak a strange language, sounded almost like he was singing it.  It was a very beautiful language to hear him speak it, but nobody in town could understand it.  He tried to teach my wife a word or two, now what was it... gratus which he said ment thanks."  You instantly recognize the word does indeed mean thanks in Celestial.  Following Lomas and Syfis' aside remarks Lomas makes his request regarding his clairsentient abilities.  To which Burton replies, "Certainly if you think it will help.  We would like to do anything that might bring Arithel back to us.  He was taken from his room in my house.  If you will help me down there I can show you where.  He also dropped a small pendant that we had given him the morning after he had arrived."Burton leads who ever is following to his house.  Now that you are moving in amongst the houses you are better able to view the havoc that has been recked.  The still smoldering ruins of a merchant's shop stand in the middle of town.  The roof of the building has collapsed, but the walls are currently still standing.  The light rain that has been falling begins to increase and as you make your way towards the house it is getting a little heavy.  Burton's wife has come out of the house looking for him to bring him inside.  She sees that he is accompanied and hold the door open for Lomas and Burton.  She is a short woman with messy brown hair.  She looks quite strong and it is obvious that she helps her husband at the forge.  The Burton house does not seem to have much damage to it, though inside you can tell that Burton's wife is working hard at cleaning things.  Burton leads you into the small room near the forge and says, "This is the room that we had given Arithel.  The ogres came in through the window.  We have straightened it up a bit, hoping that Arithel will come back to us soon.  Please, if there is anything here that can help you in your efforts."The room is very small.  There is enough room for the short bed under the window and a small table. On the table is a short candle and a small pendant.  Lomas gingerly picks up the pendant and begins to examine it.  He closes his eyes for a moment and when he opens them a low thrum can be heard and the object seems to pulse with a slight ectoplasmic radiance.  Lomas concentrates on the pendant and it reveals to him that the last person to own the object was Arithel, an 8 year old Trumpet Archon, he had been given it as a present from Mrs. Burton and had lost it in a struggle.  Prior to Arithel, Mrs. Burton had owned the pendant. Lomas sets the pendant down and begins concentrating on the room itself, another breif pulse followed by the sound of chimes in the wind.  The scene that unfolds before you (Lomas) is one of confusion and fear.  A small child sits curled up in the corner terrified.  Through the window you can hear shouts and a large shape appears, crashing through the window. You can't quite make it out, but it certainly looks about the size of an ogre and it has a hard shell and 6 arms.  It grabs the boy and heads back out the window, as the boy is grabbed he drops a small shiny object and reaches back to try and grab it. The scene flashes to a bright spring morning a few days earlier when the same small boy is lead into the room by two adults.  They are very happy and the scene is one of comfort and friendship, tinged with confusion.  The scene shifts again to a few years earlier and you close your eyes relinquishing the stream of past events. Meanwhile outside, the others wait impatiently on the Burton's porch under the awning.  Goliath paces uncomfortably in the wet weather.  As you are waiting the rain lets up and you are all eager to head out on the trail Riejar most of all.</blockquote>
