Message: <blockquote data-quote="Urko" data-source="post: 2227017" data-attributes="member: 30822">Aldinis (Eff Flat, Erin, Sanae, Xavier)Aldinis looks calmly at Xavier.   ”I understand.  Please, feel free to keep it in your hand if it makes you feel safe.”Sanae can sense no taint of darkness in Aldinis, but still does not feel totally at ease in her presence. Aldinis nods at Sanae’s question. ”Yes, I could not risk being seen making contact. And I wanted to be sure I had your permission before coming. I have a heavy burden to pass on.”She examines each of you gravely in turn.  ”A soldier, locked in deadly battle with himself. A warrior of the Flame, full of compassion for all but herself. A child of privelege, torn from everything she ever knew and loved. A constructed being, touched by music and more. But you are not all here. There are two more. A warforged with no identity and an empty spot in his soul. A holy man reliving the glory days of his youth.”  She speaks as if reciting from memory.  Her authoritative manner passes and she bites her lip uncertainly.  ”No matter.  I am here now, we must proceed.”  Aldinis sheds her cloak and sits. Underneath, she is wearing a simple moss green tunic and light brown breeches. There is a leather tube slung on her back, similar to a quiver, which she shrugs off and sets in her lap. Each of you feels a strange rising of anticipation as she opens the tube and pulls out a cloth bundle and those of you with hearts find them racing.She unfolds the cloth and the room is instantly bathed in a green light. What she has uncovered is a short rod made of a brilliant green crystalline material. Perhaps it’s an emerald – if so, its value is beyond calculation. The object is about eighteen inches long and four inches wide, bulging to six inches at each end. Once side is perfectly smooth and flat; it looks as if a vaguely barbell-shaped gemstone had been cut in half.All of you are filled with an almost unbearable feeling of joy. Even Eff Flat feels it – he perceives it as the most beautiful melody ever performed, made solid. The humans look at one another and Aldinis with flushed faces and notice that she does not seem to be affected.OOC: I based Aldinis' physical description in the previous post on a fairly well known Scottish actress. 100 XP reward if you can tell me who it is.</blockquote>
