As Katarina speaks the words, they seem to echo through the cold night air of the abandoned house.If the Tengu King is imposing, it is not his size, but the aura of shadows and the oily rags he wears, the strange, inhuman face. He might be the captain's height, no taller, were he to stand up straight, but he remains hunched, knees bent in readiness.D'avard speaks before the King has time to answer. As the man delivers his ultimatum, however, a glitter comes in the crow's eyes. What passes for a bird's lips, the corners of his cheeks, pull into what might be a smile.Caillou executes a graceful bow, one that would not look out of place in the court of Versailles. It seems a parody, coming from the bizarre creature before the captain now. Voices, like ghosts, seem to speak on his behalf. The long beak scarcely seems to move. "Captain. You may wish to consider your next move...carefully," he entreats. It is not a threat. Their tone is reasonable, faintly amused, even.  "You could lose considerably more allies than you stand to gain, were you to side with this, this--" the susurrus of voices pauses briefly, and the next to speak is a pitch-perfect imitation of the man himself, "D'avard.Caillou nods to the door. "Does that charlatan claim to speak with the dead? Or for them, perhaps? Can he bring them peace, bring them rest, these dark dreams that nightly plague us? Under a Curse, aye, so the Coral Curse do be. If the spirits are not friendly, at least they abide by their promises. More than can be said of the living."The kenku leaves it at that, waiting for Katarina to answer.[ooc]I haven't been able to sign up for an Invisible Castle account so far. Any alternatives out there? I'd like to make a roll for this History check on D'avard. Would I receive any advantage based on him clearly knowing who I am? Would I at least have a clue as to who might have sent him at this time?[/ooc]</blockquote>
