Forgotten Heroes IC

Chester adds his thanks to those of his companions, but generally remains silent as his eyes wander around the room, taking in his surroundings, and checking on his . . . friends. It seems odd, that this is the second time he has awoken suddenly from a blackout, only to be surrounded by these people.

 

[Lot]

Seifer, whom I imagine was stripped of his armor when he was moved to the infirmary, looks around for it. While doing this, he turns to address the group.

"It is some relief to get some memories back, truth be told, but I am unsure of where to head next. It seems like we are regaining some understanding with time, no matter what we do. Yet, I would not want to pass out and have a vision while I was hunting bandits or doing something else of a dangerous nature. What do you think our next move should be?"

 

[Shayuri]

Lily looks up from the bowl of water, her face still wet from basically plunking it in and drinking greedily. She wipes herself with her sheet and shakes her head at Seifer's comment.

"The fiend knew us," she says. "Knew who we were. If the bandits are associated with it, then maybe they know us too, or know OF us. Once we're done here, I think that's our next logical place to go. It could be the 'bandits' are just a cover for this cult or something."

"Well good sir your armor is right here, they were afraid it would stifle your breathing," Tarken answers the wildly looking knight.

As Tarken walks around he answers each of your questions trying his best not to forget any during the barrage, "I believe it has been almost an entire day since when you arrived."

Voadam begins showing the spirit versions of the people he has seen. At each one Tarken looks them over completely before allowing Voadam to move on. At the appearance of the Head Cultist, Tarken's face loses all of its color. "How do you know Demmin Nass The Black, master of death arts, and the murderer of Kiln? He is an infamous killer who wiped out a whole village just to see if he could summon a stronger undead."

As the image of the demon from town appears Tarken holds up his hand, "That looks like the old images of Xiphid that must be an Aspect. Bound by his word and his master. As far as I know if that demon says he will do something he is bound to follow the words he has spoken. That is of course if he is masterless. If he has a master then that is the word he is bound to. "

The other men seem to be unknown to Tarken as he doesn't seem to know anything about them. But his words really seem to make sense as he addresses this matter, "Make sure that you and your company know these other faces so if you meet any of them you will be ready."

 

[Voadam]

Voadam begins showing the spirit versions of the people he has seen. At each one Tarken looks them over completely before allowing Voadam to move on. At the appearance of the Head Cultist, Tarken's face loses all of its color. "How do you know Demmin Nass The Black, master of death arts, and the murderer of Kiln?

As far as I know if that demon says he will do something he is bound to follow the words he has spoken. That is of course if he is masterless. If he has a master then that is the word he is bound to. "

"I observed him say to his followers that they would now begin the summoning to bring back Xiphid from his banishment. And then later I met the Aspect. It is walking this world, bound by a master but seeking to manipulate events to free himself. Is Fonthane in the Tower? I must speak to him."

"He is in his study," Tarken casts message.

"We can go up," Tarken leads you through some twists and turns taking side routes and hidden passageways. Finally you arrive at a statue, Tarken pushes the Griffion's claw down then left and the statue sinks into the floor revealing a massive room. On one side a library of books that goes all the way to the ceiling. On the other a desk and alchemy equipment. At the dest sits a middle aged man with a full white beard.

"Well what can I do for you?" in a pleasant voice comes Alexander Fonthane seemingly comical question. "Let me guess you have questions about demons, Xiphid, and memory loss. Did I get them all?" Alexander says with a smile.


OOC: This is the man you are looking at: [sblock=Alexander Fonthane]

"There's also a matter of a well known Black wizard who looks to be heading up a cult that's trying to bring him back," Lily says dryly. "Using us, apparently...though that's the part we're still not clear on."

 

[Moonstone Spider]

"So. . . all we have to do is get this Aspect guy to say he'll be good and he's forced to be good from then on? Or else force whoever the master is to say aspect will be good?"

 

[Voadam]

"As my companion said, I would also like to discuss Demmin Nass The Black."

Voadam turns to Skitha. "A nice thought, but meaning can be twisted while following the literal words. A demon lord can be very good at being evil and thus follow the dictates to "be good". I think renewed banishment, perhaps through destruction of the Portal or of the Aspect, will be necessary if we wish to neutralize the threat of an unbound demon lord."

Trying to follow this discussion, Eglath can't help thinking that all this will be better dealt with at the edge of his axe when all the talking is over.
