[Lot]

Seifer looks disturbed, silent for a moment. Finally, he speaks.

"What I don't understand is what any of us had to do with this summoning. Why us?"

Seifer paces for a moment in though, clanking back and forth across the temple floor.

"It sort of changes the perspective of our problem. We were talking about hunting bandits just awhile a go. Now we're discussing demons. And we still don't know where to start."

 

[Voadam]

"Why us is a good question. There are still plenty of mysteries to be solved here. The bandits are a problem here, not our problem unless we make it ours. I am still in favor of doing so after our encounter with their factor. The demon lord cultists using us seems to be our problem however and may come back to haunt us whether we pursue it or not. The place to start seems clear to me. Learn everything we can so we can take appropriate actions. Which brings us back to the church and Brother Malkus. Any ways you can provide us with more information will be helpful."

 

[Shayuri]

"We could try a sage too," Lily points out. "Wizard's guild maybe." She glances at the priest and asks, "Anything like that around here?"

 

[Scotley]

Eglath Goliath Fighter

Slower to recover from the potion's effects than the others, Eglath finally joins the conversation. "I had the same vision, with the cultists." He shakes his head, "I wonder what happened next? Did we somehow free ourselves or is our memoryless presence here some part of the cultist's designs?" With a sigh he waits for the priest's response to Lily's question.

Chester remains silent, watching those that partook of the substance with him. What makes them different? Did they all see what they thought? Was he simply unable to see his own past, or were they somehow delusioned into this shared memory?

 

[Amazing Triangle]

"You are in Altora, this is where the mage guild got its start! Down the back alley past The Whining Grave, take a left at Motty's Potion store, and then finally you will see a small tower on your left tell the apprentice at the door that Brother Markus is willing to give him information on Susan, but he must first let you in and lead you to...," He pauses for a second, " What was the headmasters name again. Ah yes there it is, Alexander Fonthane, The Red Wizard."

Grukkon very quiet through out the whole ordeal finally breaksdown, "From what I can remember of history I remember that Xiphid's Summoning last time took a portal. A human portal. Since I have sinced no such thing in any of us, it means. Yeah that someone else is the portal. Your description of your dreams seems like a scrying spell. If you wouldn't mind I think I will study here trying to find if there are any volumes of prophecy that pertain to the second coming of Xiphid."

Bother Markus turns to you all, "Anyone need anything else from the wonderful grace of Johan?"

 

[Shayuri]

Lily nods at Grokkun. "Good idea. We'll keep you posted on what we learn. And I think we're all right, Brother Marcus...for now. We may take you up on that offer later, if things go south. Until then, lets head for this guild."

She looks at the others to see if they agree.

 

[Scotley]

"You have been most generous. I would ask nothing further of Johan's grace." Turning to the others he adds, "I don't think I'm overfond of wizards, but I guess the tower is our next stop."

 

[Moonstone Spider]

"Stuff just gets worse every place we go. First we're paying for funerals, then bandits, now evil demon overlords. It's enough to drive a girl to drinking. I hope the mages are more hospitable than those priests, not a drop of wine in the place."

 

[Voadam]

Turning to the others he adds, "I don't think I'm overfond of wizards, but I guess the tower is our next stop."

"I'll remember that." Voadam says with a smile. "And I agree the tower should be next for the majority of us. Who knows, maybe I am a member of this guild and have some allies there."

Grokkun your researching church lore on the Lord would be helpful for us. Similarly notifying the greater church that this is an issue would probably be wise as well so that we have a power group beginning to make preparations to counteract the Lord. Brother Markus, I thank you for your offers of aid and if I can think of more questions or requests for divine magical aid in the future I shall indeed turn to you. In fact, now that I think of it, if there is a church library with documents pertaining to demonology or this lord in particular I would appreciate a writ granting me permission to access and read the documents if such is within either yours or Grokkun's power to grant."
