Seraphina slowly wakes up in a flurry, blanket and pillow flying. She then suddenly slows down, kneeling on her bed, almost breaking down into tears.
"What... was that..." She quietly asks her cat.
"Where..." She begins to ask another question, then the events of the last day come hurtling back into her head. Seraphina sighs deeply.
"This can't be coincidence... the townsfolk complained of strange dreams... now I just did... and I have an odd feeling that everyone else in our group did, as well..."
She sits down, trying to calm herself, and pulls out her spellbook. She begins studying it and commiting arcane formulae to memory, but continues to be haunted by memories of her strange dream.
Memorizing typical spells.

Gholog
Gholog springs awake, fists clenched, sweating profusely.
"That was ... disturbing. We need to go to the mine as soon as possible. I dreamt of people with copper faces. It's a either a prophetic dream or it's nothing. Either way I won't be satisfied until I know."
Gholog meditates for a few minutes, then dresses and goes to the common area to locate some food, waiting on the others.

Kerrick Jonez
"ARRRRGGGGGGG!!!!!!!" Kerrick snaps awake with a scream, he's already on his feet in a defensive crouch. Power instictively building inside him. No, wait. It was a dream, or if the old woman was right, something more...Alright, Kerrick, just breath calm yourself. Breath...
Kerrick slowly calms himself, settling back down on the bed and wiping the sweat off with his blanket. He can't help but run a hand over his head, checking for blood.

Once finished with studying her spells, Seraphina shakily heads down to join her companions.
"I had... a dream..." Seraphina says quietly. "And... I have an odd feeling that each of you also had dreams, nightmares..."
She shakes her head as she takes a seat on a stool. "We must find the source of this." She says slowly. "We must find whatever it is that is sending these dreams, and we... must then destroy it."
She then stands up. "I don't know about the rest of you... but I cannot sleep again if it means going through... that again... so I suggest that we go, and soon..."

Jason Master
Jason was absent when the others met, for he had remained in his own room.
He awakens, screaming into the air around him, "I'll never join...!" He pauses, realizes where he is and finishes, weaker in tone now "...you."
The healthy young man falls to his bed, lying on his back. He lets out a cry, dimly echoing the pain in his limbs. His body is soaked through in sweat, now turning to tears as he closes his eyes and sinks into the mattress, whispering faintly through the pain in his throat, more to himself than anyone who may be near, "I won't fail; I'll find another way."
By now Gato has come to rest by his master. Tears stream down his face still, but Gato's presence and the soothing noise of his purrs calms Jason. The small cat rests on his master's chest, cuddled in his arms like a child while Jason pets him with whatever strength remains in him after the dream.

Kerrick quickly find that sleep will not come back. So after he getting dressed he heads down to see if he can get some food and an ale.

It's early in the morning, around sixish. The sun has risen over the horizon, but only just. It seems as if it wasn't just you suffering from bad dreams. In the common room, a merchant is calming her husband, and the other two guests are also awake, eating breakfast.
And it isn't just affecting humans. Gato and Lucie are both nervous, either sensing their master and mistress's unease or from dreams of their own. Jaxen and Virch are both quieter than normal, unusually distracted from their surroundings.
Tokket comes over to those of you in the inn's common room. "Anything for breakfast folks?"
This thread is getting a bit on the long side, so I've started a new one here.
