[QUOTE="zakael19, post: 9304968, member: 7044099"] [I]As the red-garbed figures stride away into the oncoming twilight, Morgan's gaze darts repeatedly towards where he last the two small figures of his cousin's children. He starts almost comically sideways when he realizes a tall figure wearing robes of a different hue is standing silently beside him and making a 'come hither' gesture towards one of the nearby buildings.[/I] "Who in the blazes are you?" [I]he hisses out, before his attention is caught again by the sight of two small pale faces making their way towards him. [/I] "I think we should all go inside, yes?" [I]is the only response given, and with a last worried glance down the street where the cultists wandered off, he nods even as he kneels down to give the children each a one-armed hug of welcome. As he steps into the shop, he pushes the children towards a side stairs that leads upwards to the living quarters located over top the store area, calling out to the clerk who is doing some final receipts: "[/I]Dannel, go ahead and close up without me yeah? Got some unexpected family in town in after a long day of travel!"[I] His voice is strained, but does an otherwise fine job of faking cheer. A distracted grunt is the only answer from the clerk, now peering through a pair of tiny spectacles. Morgan follows the children up the stairs, Valak can see the tension in the man's rigid shoulders as he quietly follows in turn. The rooms at the top are cozy if a bit messy, redolent of the smells of the valuable spice stores that Morgan keeps secured away from the main rooms. That man shuts the door to the apartment behind Valak with a glare, and whirling to stride towards Carys grabs her by the shoulders as he grinds out between clenched teeth, "[/I]Carys! You and Osian were supposed to be with your aunt in Harken by now! And who in the name of the Gods is this character!" [I]Carys takes a step back defiantly, the spirit she's displayed to Valak shining through[/I], "We couldn'a leave da's stuff behind like that! You didn'a tell us nothin but 'run away children' when you came to town anyway!"[I] She dashes a tear away before going on in a lower voice as Osian nods along [/I]"besides, we'd started down the road and then that mark on on 'is back started to hurt something fierce." [I]Her voice rises again, "[/I]and Valak here saved us! A red tide rose in ma mind n' we nearly caused poor Adalbar to be killed, when he just and da had just fought for our freedom." [I]Now Valak steps in, his soft but firm voice speaking nearly in Morgan's ear as he lays a hand on the man's shoulder, causing him to flinch involuntarily. [/I]"You sir obviously know something about this mark and these cultists, and my calling here is to find their master and end their threat. I think you owe these children some answers, and to point me forward towards this 'Veiled One'." __________________________ Primary skill use: intimidate. r16+3 = 19[B] SUCCESS[/B] Goal, obtain Morgan's knowledge of the cult's base of operations, and anything he might know about their "Veiled One."
