Thurann, please wait. Focus your rage. Harness it and find a way to shape it rather than mindless, pointless, wasted violence
Having tried to calm the boy, Viator turns to the ghoul and tries to slow it's attacks. His power extends...
...but his power fails him. Again.
[sblock=Actions]Standard = Dishearten at M17: Ghoul
Minor = Diplomacy on Thurann[/sblock]
Alas Viator's powers are deserting him at this juncture... as to his words.
Thurann, still brandishing the knife, still looking to get to the nearest enemy to vent his rage... The Psion's words are a little vague for the lad, and a little beyond his understanding- he is focussing his rage, he's going to stab and kill the Ghoul. As to mindless violence, the eight year old has only a partial understanding of the phrase.
Thurann wants to be like his father, Kartenix. His father was a brave man- a soldier, he fought Goblins and Orcs on the roads and the settlements outside of Fallcrest. His father fought Zombies and Skeletons, the restless dead in the catacombs. His father fought giant rats and foul beasts in the sewers beneath the streets.
Thurann, even at the age of eight, knows the basics of swordplay- he is a fighter, or rather like his father will grow up to be a fighter, a warrior, a hero.
Thurann processes all the above information in seconds, then speaks, or rather shouts at the Eladrin.
"Shut up! The old man said my dad's dead- so shut up!"
Not a reasoned argument, but certainly from the heart, the old man in questions is Ah-shahran of course.
Thurann makes ready to move in to attack.
