Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jarval" data-source="post: 1439148" data-attributes="member: 421">Sprinting away around the corner, Gholog leaves the shambling townsfolk standing.  The crystal glows again, but Gholog barely needs focus to brush off the comparatively weak attempt to subdue his mind.Jason waits for the charging townsfolk to rush past Seraphina, then says three lulling words, tracing a complex pattern in the air as the pinch of sand vanishes from his hand.  Almost invisibly faint motes of light fall around the townspeople, and to a man they drop into a deep sleep.  Taking that as his cue to depart, Jason turns and runs after Gholog.The two remaining awake townsfolk turn and limpingly jog after the monk and psychic warrior, leaving Seraphina alone in the street.  Taking her chance, she slips into a side street, and dashes for the plaza and the belltower...Two minutes of sprinting later, you all emerge into the town square to be confronted by an unwelcome sight.  The tower has been surrounded by the villagers not currently stumbling along the streets after Gholog and Jason (a number that has now swelled to a good forty people), forming a one man deep cordon running around the entire marketplace.  All turn to face Gholog as he comes into view... or to be more precise, they turn to face the crystal."Now will you give me up?"  The crystal's voice sounds from all around you, the sight and sound of the townsfolk speaking in unison raising the hairs on the back of your necks.  "I am Copperdeath, and I reclaim what is mine!"With all eyes focused on the crystal, no one seems to have yet noticed Seraphina, she having emerged from an alley some twenty yards to the north of Jason and Gholog.</blockquote>
