Gardens and the Graves

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

" So the wishes can only be granted if the wisher takes a token from you? Can you tell me how you knew what pictures to show the people to get them to wish. Does the voice tell you what to show them? " Oribella breaths a quite sigh knowing Titian's wish was not granted. She looks to see if Grouse overheard that part.

One less thing to worry about. The thought is not much a comfort, but a little is better then none.

"I don't get them... them to wish. They wish what they want. I just... just show them where I am, in the well, and what to... to do. Just show them..."

 

[Ashy]

"Can he grant his own wishes?", whispers Grouse to the autumn fairy...

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

*Oribella nods to Grouse.*

"Can you grant your own wishes?"she ask of the demon. She also looks to Gus and Tuk to see if there is any answer they want from the creature trapped in the well.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"No... no... can't... not my own, it's my curse..."

 

[Ashy]

"Sometimes people ask for... for people to fall in love with them. And sometimes they... they ask for gold... or jewels... sometimes they ask for revenge... And I dream, I dream, I dream their dreams and I show them the well... but this is the first time I've seen this sky, first time..." he mutters in a sing-song voice, utterly ignoring both the lack of daylight and Grouse's grumbling. Looking down in the well you can see the little devil has his arms wrapped about his legs and is rocking next to the wall, his eyes fixed on some spot on the ground.

Grouse whispers, "Ask him what the sky looked like in some of the other places? Does the well always look like this; where is he when he is not in the well?"

Gus whispers to Grouse.

"Sadly, I don't really have any experience with giant demon thingies living in wells. . . or maybe that should be 'thankfully'"

Then he muses to himself.

"I wonder if we can wish him back where he came from. . ."

 

[Ashy]

Gus whispers to Grouse.

"Sadly, I don't really have any experience with giant demon thingies living in wells. . . or maybe that should be 'thankfully'"

Then he muses to himself.

"I wonder if we can wish him back where he came from. . ."

Grouse smiles grimly, "Nor me, lad, nor me..." At Gus' musing, the old thistle again rubs his prickly chin. "Hmmmmmm", he says.

OOC: Knowledge (arcana) +14 [13 ranks, +1 Int]
Knowledge (nature) +14 [13 ranks, +1 Int] to see if Grouse knows anything about dealing with devils, or anything else that might provide a bit of direction...

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

Grouse whispers, "Ask him what the sky looked like in some of the other places? Does the well always look like this; where is he when he is not in the well?"

" Tell me some more... What did the sky look like in the last place? DOes the well you are in look like the others you have been in? When you are not in a well where do you stay? I know I have been asking you a lot of question, but if I, we rather, are to help you we need to know everything you can tell us." Oribella tries to wring a few monre answers from the creature trapped in the dark.


ooc: Ori is really starting to feel pity for this thing. Before too long she is going to want free it. She is not so sure that is evil anymore.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Grouse knows that Gus saw the creature as a big devil, but he only sees it as a little imp. Probably the creature's shape has been changed. And because it can't leave and its memory is faulty, it seems as if someone has cursed this creature.*

" Tell me some more... What did the sky look like in the last place? DOes the well you are in look like the others you have been in? When you are not in a well where do you stay? I know I have been asking you a lot of question, but if I, we rather, are to help you we need to know everything you can tell us." Oribella tries to wring a few more answers from the creature trapped in the dark.

"The sky... sky had more trees, more green. The well, it always looks the same to me. I'm always in the well, always, don't know any other place, always in the well... always..."

 

[Ashy]

Grouse's fuzzy purple brows knit together and an intense frown flows over his features. Finally, he sighs and looks to Oribella, "I think we need ta try an' remove whatever curse lies o'er this creature. While it may make 'im more powerful and it may release 'im from th' well, it is our only change ta find out who's behind all o' this. My worry is that whate'er cursed this thing...t'is likely 'at it'll be far beyond any of us in power and skill. I just hope we can deal wit' it..."
