Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard

[Helfdan]

Valen Sablewood

Valen knelles by Estelle's side and puts a hand on her shoulder. "Calm down, girl. Please, just tell us what is so important about that stone." The normally grim ranger was moved by the girl's obvious suffering.

OOC: Ethandrew, are your canines... obvious? --> The feralness is back, her teeth exposed as her eyes maniacally stare at the dwarf.

Ahodan held the stone securely, warily, in case someone else flipped out for it. "Estelle, there are things I would know from you." he said grimly. "And I think you know what they are." he added.

Estelle stops her pleading. She looks up into the face of Valen, then over toward William. When she spots the concern and confusion on his face, Estelle's own face drops. She looks down, dropping her hands in her lap and stares at them. "I, uhh, umm. I'm sorry." She looks up at each person in turn, pleading with her eyes. "I don't know what that was happening, it was like something switched inside of my head, screaming at me to get the stone. I didn't know it was there, but I did too at the same time. I'm sorry. Muzdum," she looks at the dwarf standing next to her, "I'm sorry."

She officially plops down onto the ground, forsaking the comfort her knees so thoughtfully offered. The idea of walking dead right near her was forgotten in her misery. "I guess if you have questions I'll answer them, but I don't have much to tell, I don't think."

 

[Yttermayn]

"I too have been hearing voices, Estelle." Aohdan offered comfortingly. "But mine do not compel me. Tell us what you know. Why do you think you are affected so?"

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Not to worry child, ya' were lucky Ah' missed ya', Ah' was really scared! Ya' look like crazy! Ahahaha" the dwarf laugh cheerfully "Although... Ah' find it strange that ya' react to this stone somewhat... completely opposed to Orin. Ah' guess it was not my dread look in combat what made him avoid me."

 

[Amaury]

Johen says to the halfling priestress: "Look.. this stone seems to be at the centre of our companions strange behaviour.. Follow me, let's have a look at it, you may know what it is and whether it is linked to the undead phenomenon..."

Johen walks with the halfling to have a look at the stone: "The letter we found in the foreman's house mentioned a stone that was helping the building of some defences.. Could both stones be linked?? But how could have it been placed in Muzdum's backpack?? Halfling, what do you say this stone is??"

Norali looks at the stone in the centaur's hand, "That is a seeing stone I believe. They allow the person carrying it to be scryed on by the creator of the stone, or someone designated by the creator, without interference or magical resistance of any sort. The Shadow Knights use them to keep tabs on their knights in the field who are on dangerous missions. But the black veins...those shouldn't be there. It looks like it has been corrupted somehow."

 

[Voda Vosa]

"So someone has been watchin' me!" Barks the dwarf "Curses to ya'!" he shouts to the stone. "But the only moment Ah' wasn't aware of my things, was on Orins wagon... Or when Ah' met my brother..." the dwarf thoughts, abstracting from reality.

Valen Sablewood

Valen ponders the revelations, then speaks thoughtfully, yet his intense blue eyes signal the dire importance of his question. "Norali, aside from seeing, could they be listening to us right now, as well?"

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

Norali nods, "Yes...but...the black veins...I don't think the stone is attuned to who it's supposed to be." She ponders a moment, then says to William, "Could you use detect evil on the stone?"
