Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard

- Start date
His proposal having been ignored, Johen applies to himself some of his own magic reducing what was left of his wounds.
He checks Estelle from the corner of his eye but opts to let her recompose herself alone.
As the others are gone, he goes to the innkeeper and asks: "My good man, how are the roads further east from here? Any trouble of late?"
OOC: not sure if East is our direction
+1hp CmW = top HP.

*OOC: Sorry, lost internet connection for nearly two weeks. I have it now, but it's slow. I'll update whenever I can (Including Leveling up William ASAP.*
William easily noticed the differences in Estelle, though he tries not to show it. She's obviously trying to hide it, and bringing it out in front of EVERYONE would probably not be the best of ideas. He'd need to get her alone and find out what was wrong, and quickly.
Once those who are coming have gathered, he clears his throat and adresses them. "My friends, I do believe that smashing that stone may have been... hasty. I sensed an overhwelming evil unleashed, and it is heading this way. I've said before and I will say again: This is not all sheer happenstance. Something dark, hideous, and powerful is coming and I believe we are all somehow connected.. Either to it, or to each other. Does anybody have any idea what's going on?"

"I honestly don't know," Alaric responds. "I doubt that destroying the stone was any worse than leaving it intact would have been. I'm not sure what's goin' on, but we should keep movin' on tomorrow or the next day."
Alaric intends to go around town and see about selling the piece of treasure he looted from the foreman's office, so he can divvy up the spoils and get some supplies maybe.

OOC: shadowmask didn't post last week. Not sure how that happened. 
I'm going to assume Corath accompanied Alaric to sell the loot.
The Frontier City of Delagund in the Duchy of Vedlund, The Inn common room
OOC: The group will be heading northwest from here.
The innkeep answers Johen, "Not much out of the orcs this year, which is good. Still, the patrols are saying that the spiders are getting bigger, meaner and bolder. Can't stand spiders, especially big ones."
The serving girl puts a plate of breakfast down in front of Estelle and William.
The Frontier City of Delagund in the Duchy of Vedlund, Shrine of the Healing Light
Muzdum guides Aohdan and Valen into the small, one room temple. A young priest is busying tidying up, washing the single, small stained glass window near the arched ceiling. He stands on a rickety ladder and is humming quietly to himself. When the trio enters, he startles and nearly falls off the 10 foot tall ladder. "Oh goodness gracious." He looks down and immediately sees the state that the centaur and the woodsman are in, "Oh my." He scurries down the ladder and approaches, placing a hand to Valen's forehead, "High fever, shakes, paleness, sweats...what other symptoms are there? And when did this start?"
He escorts Valen to lay down on the floor and asks Aohdan to do the same as he fetches blankets and other supplies.
The Frontier City of Delagund in the Duchy of Vedlund, Adventurer's Guild office
The guild office is a tiny, former store front next door to the equally tiny constabulary and jail.
As Alaric and Corath enter, it appears that the office also doubles as something of a records library with shelves crammed full of scrolls and papers. An older, gray-haired woman with spectacles perched on a long and crooked nose steps out of the back as the pair enter, "Guild business or records business?"

Alaric the Alchemist
"I have some news for the Adventurer's Guild in Azgund, that doesn't bode well...." Alaric says, and roughly explains the undead encounter in the stone quarry, leaving out the mystery stone, except to say that they found a strange stone at the quarry that they smashed after sensing that it was somehow corrupted with evil magic.
He also mentions that evidence at the stone quarry has led him to believe that a militant force of undead or something may be marching on other parts of Azgund, from Silvergard, in coming months. Alaric tells the fellow that he's on his way to investigate the problem, but that forces in the rest of Azgund should be expecting a possible attack by undead.
(ooc: I'm not really sure exactly what to say...)

Once the others have left and they are alone, William speaks "Estelle, I am sorry to intrude, but I find the need to be rather straight-forward at this time. We are travelling together, and have allready experienced some... strange things, yet I feel that each day you slip further and further away from us. Is it something that is bothering you, or something you think you need to hide from us? Either way, I would like to help you, if you will tell me what it is. I'd like to think we're friends, and friends are there for each other." He cracked a smile "Much more reliable than simple travelling companions."

Estelle looks William in the eyes for a moment, before bringing her gaze down to her untouched food, "I don't know what happened at the rock foundry, I really don't know. Some voice, some man came into my head and told me things, compelled me to get the stone. I didn't even know it was there and then the next thing I knew I was attacking him. I don't know. It's just, sometimes I have these urges, these flashes of anger that get into my head and make me do these crazy things."
She pauses, taking a deep breath.
"I left my home because I attacked a boy. He was someone I'd grown up with, played with in the fields. He was like my brother, like all of us kids. And one day, we were alone by the river, he said something about my mother and then next thing I knew he was laying face down on the bank with blood all the place. They ran me out of town after that. I don't even know what happened. I didn't mean to do anything, and he lived, but it wasn’t the same. It’s just these urges, I don’t know when they come and I can’t control them when I do. And then when that stone was crushed, my head exploded it felt and then the same voice spoke to me, told me that he’d see me soon, and called me his daughter. I never had a father, and my mother died giving birth to me. I don’t know. If you want answers, I don’t have them. I just have to try and control what I do and deal with it when I can’t control it.”
