Orillian
Orillian rises one of his eyebrows. "Seek others ? Perhaps ... But I don't really think it's worth it. First of all, if we are to do this, we have to understand this tattoo, to see if it's really a map. And, even if we can manage that, I have a ... a secure position here. My last trip out of the city proved to be quite disastrous. Finally, what are we to do once ... if we're all joined ? I mean, it's not like you and I have a lot in commun."

I understand your trepidation towards looking for others with these markings. But I also think that these are here for a reason, shouldn't we pursue any possibilities of finding others that are marked like us?Julian tapps his hand And yes we are not alike but we do have this in commen, perhaps we have more then is first realized. I myself have always been...unsatisfied with my life...I feel driven...as if there is something out there waiting for me to be ready..perhaps you feel the same, perhaps not.

"I do occassionally feel the same way." He seems lost in thoughts for a moment. "But it's probably just boredom. I've lost someone dear to me, the last time I succumbed to this desire. Sorry, but I just can't leave what I have here, simply to go wandering with someone because we share a sign on the hand. Here's what I propose: in the next few days, I'll use all my time here to research the significance of this sign and I'll share my results with you."

Once the two travelers have indicated the direction of travel, Tristan sets out towards the young noble's home. He suggests to Baja that they travel with the noble between them at first in case any assassins are left. Once any immediate danger has passed, he moves himself next to the half orc so that they can talk while still keeping an eye on Baja's charge.
"I'm sorry to have imposed myself on your mission, but there is something I wish to discuss with you. My name is Tristan, and for as long as I can remember, I've had an unusual tatoo on my hand."
He pulls off his glove and holds his hand near Baja's.
"Earlier, when you were knocked out from the poison, I noticed you had a very similar marking. I've never known much about mine, or where it came from, so I was wondering if you had anything you could tell me."

Sighing inwardly at Orillians remarks and noting the pained look on his face while speaking of his lose..Julian stands up..Sorry I am about your loss, well good luck in your research. You do know where to find me there is much work left at the temple for me...at least for a few more days. After all I have searched before for others like me...and at the Monastary I did as much research as I could with no results, but perhaps you can do better.He turns to goOrillian, I will leave the posters out...maybe others will find us here..or maybe since there are 2 of us perhaps we will have better luck with finding the others that these marks indicate.

Baja peers at the man's markings and starts a little, bringing his own hand up absentmindedly and comparing the markings.
Not know where dis come from. It change though - afters I come'd frew to here. Never looked like yers until I come'd here to across the big waters. But none knows anyfin' about it when I asked da intelli... intelle... inteel... uhh, dem clever mens. I does know it scritches and itches somfin' rotten though sumtimez.

Tristan sighed slightly at Baja's response. He had thought it was a bit much to expect an answer from the half-orc, but it was worth a try.
"Well, whatever it is, it seems that its changed again now that the two of us are together. If we're each marked, it stands to reason that the other dots could represent others with the same mark. Perhaps one of them has the answers I seek. Once you have discharged your duty here, would you be interested in joining me on a journey to find the others? Perhaps there is some reason for us to gather with them."

"Of course Julian, perhaps luck will help us. Let's just stay in contact, you and I." As Julian leaves, Orillian can't help but feel bad about turning the man down. By bringing him into his office, Orillian had hope Julian had some insight about this tattoo they share. It turns out this man was even more clueless than he was. At least, that's what he told himself. The truth was that he felt just like Julian had said, like I could, should do more.
As if to clear his mind of all those questions, Orillian put himself to work. Abandoning his usual duties for (maybe ?) two or three days, he starts to search for any information that might tell him the significance or fonction of this tattoo. He tries to visit various libraries in the city and, there, he asks Bollo and a conjured unseen servant to fetch him various books on symbols, cosmology and even prophecies. He also consult some of his collegues for information.
