Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hrothgar" data-source="post: 2896359" data-attributes="member: 22226">Aislinn's head bows, her blind, white eyes aimed down toward Kaela.  Nodding once, she moves toward Starhl and Valurel with Kaela's assistance.  She pauses as those around her speak.  Looking straight ahead, the young Dorn woman whispers quietly, My family was betrayed and killed in Caft.  Some unknown power has smiled on me that I might find such friends, companions,...family as all of you.  I also wish to solve the riddle of my existence as all of you.  Am I a key...a weapon against the Shadow?  I don't know.  I feel so small, so useless, relying on such brave folk as you to guide and protect me.  I am reminded of the brown leaves that blow on the cold northern wind in the fall, descending into the river near the town of my birth.  Swept downstream, drowning, smashed into the rocks, no control over their destiny...I am the same.  Carried on a wind of fate, my destination unknown.  We seek to go south.  For some reason, I feel drawn in that direction.  I have had dreams of late, dreams of a great forest where even the Shadow fears to tread.  Into the dark vales I am drawn, where even the forest's creatures fear to tread.  What draws me there, I do not know, but I will not fail you.  I will be brave.A faint green glow begins to illuminate Aislinn as she rests her hands on first Stahrl's, then Valurel's chest.  Peace and calm wash over the two warriors, a goodness that vies with euphoria.  Flesh knits and blood ceases to flow.  Even the Wolf stands to stare at Aislinn, not with fear, but kinship.The gnomes in the room stare in shock at Aislinn's power, hurried whispers filling the room.  Geoffrey and Bardin stare in awe at the girl's power.  Bardin's voice is gravelly, but soft.  Aye.  This is a story I must hear.  Please.  Many are skilled in the use of magic.  We have contacts in Baden's Bluff that can ascertain if she is somehow linked in the battle against the Shadow.  You should all rest now while we prepare to leave in two days.    Looking up at the Giant, Bardin's voice becomes more harsh, but almost jovial.  Aye, longshanks.  We even have room for one as big as you!OOC: Stahrl is healed of 12 points of damage and Valurel is healed 6 points.  From my notes, I don't see Valurel was hurt, but Aislinn healed both under Kaela's direction.Two things: 1.  Will the Heroes tell Bardin the tale of Aislinn's background, at least that known by the Heroes?2. Do the Heroes wish to do anything while they rest for the next few days?  I want to fast forward to the departure date to keep the game moving.</blockquote>
