Tears for Twilight Hollow IC

The lantern to the north disappears into the distance while the party discusses what to do next.

An old woman walks out of the fog coming from the direction of the village. She sees you praying over the body of the squire.


"My visions are made flesh. I saw you and you and you. I saw your past, your present, and your future. I saw the trials and tribulations that caused you to reach this point. It is your destiny to confront a great darkness."
She points at Jalen, List, and Tohav.

"Sadly, I saw Marthos confront the same great darkness in my visions. It slew Marthos and stole the soul of Shaunnra, the Protector of Twilight Hollow. But the omens are better for your achieving your quest than they were for Marthos and Shaunnra."

"My lady, I am Jalen Isadore, servant of Ilmater. Please, tell me if you can, what passed here to Shaunnra and Marthos? And how can we free the soul of Shaunnra?" Jalen asks, limping to the front of the party and opening her hands in a gesture of blessing.
 

"Jalen Isadore." The old woman pronounces the name carefully, as if she has never heard the name before, even though earlier she claimed she knew you.

"I am Sybil and I am honored to meet you and your companions.

"I can not help you with the answers to your questions. Savras has dictated that my destiny is always to be an observer, never an actor.

"However, I can tell you, that I believe you have all the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed. Any knowledge you lack will be made available as destiny decrees."
 

"Sybil, my lady, can you please tell me what you saw in your vision of the darkness that attacked paladin and squire? Was it large or small? Ghostlike or solid? If you would bless us with any of Savras' insight I would be most grateful," Jalen says with a slight bow.
 

List male human Rogue

List is confounded by the quick disappearance of the light, and moves the horse North a ways to see if he can make out what it might be. "Gonna check out this light for a moment, back in two shakes."

Pondering "The arrival of this woman is odd at this place of evil" He'll look for any tracks for a few minutes and wander back, if the terrain is too harsh, or he doesn't find anything.
 

Sybil responds to Jalen, "I am constrained and can not reveal that information which you do not possess. Yet you already know that Shaunnra was struck here by the creature of darkness and you have seen the traces that the creature has left."

Zinnias does not detect any evil in Sybil. As far as the PCs can tell, Sybil is telling the truth.

After moving Briskly northward, List spots the fading glow of the lantern in the distance. List thinks he can keep up with the lantern that has vanished to the north so long as he moves briskly through the swamp (double-moves). If he moves slower (searching for tracks, watching for ambushes, etc.), he'll fall behind the lantern and let it out of sight.

Dra’vin Frostblood, human male ranger

Dra'vin watches List move off but sticks with the rest of the group. He has his bow out, and while there is not arrow nocked he is ready to bring one out if need be.
 

Tohav stays silent, using detect magic on the new visitor. Tohav will also keep a lookout for List, fearing that he might be ambushed or be following a Wil-O-The-Wisp or some other danger these places tend to hold.
 

Tohav does not detect any magic on Sybil. List, riding on Ruth, is already out of sight of the rest of the party. (visibility twenty feet due to deep fog)
