Not the dagger!” – at the sight of the weapon, all branches sibilate, that living wood unleashing fury onto itself. For a few seconds, the noise is almost deafening. The man-tree stretches its head out, as if to study the thing.“This is a dangerous artifact… If the beast has made use of it once….” – the voice stops in restlessness – “… the dagger calls out … for those whose blood it tasted.” – the wooden sounds become more polluted, the speech, more desperate. “It is just a matter of time… Till it finds you… The closer he gets, the stronger the feeling…” – the entity pauses for a second, pensive.“I can try and seal the path with more branches… It might dissuade him, in case he finds the door… But you must find a way to conceal the dagger… magical or not. Otherwise, the beast  – as well as others – might pursue you.” “This… thing…. Leads its owner towards those honor-bound to him…. Even across the planes… But it demands part of the traveler’s blood… and it creates a bond with those who bleed by its cuts… It calls out to them... living or dead…”The entity silences once more, as if studying the movements of the enemy.“It goes further… Maybe the beast does not feel the dagger… Maybe it seeks another path down… Soon it will leave the city through the external gates… To the surface. You must choose: if you leave now, you may be ahead of it…. But it might find you during night… If you stay, you can rest… Till dawn… and try to use light in your favor… Even though it might prepare to ensnare you... Either, way… I will do my best to help….” @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6801450" target="_blank">Trogdor1992</a> @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=24380" target="_blank">Neurotic</a> @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6801311" target="_blank">KahlessNestor</a> @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6855130" target="_blank">Jago</a></blockquote>
