Jaroth begins wryly to the others.  "I don't know where I am from.  I was orphaned at about the time I learned to walk.  I was raised by some kind folk.  But I never really fit in there and foolishly struck out on my own as a young lad.  After some hair-raising adventures in the wilds, I met a woodsman and became fast friends with him.  During a storm, my gift revealed itself.  My friend, the woodsman, was injured and would have died if I did not get him out of the terrible hailstorm we were experiencing.  Pummeled with hailstones the size of apples, I nearly didn't make it to him.  Exhausted and wishing for a respite, at least to save my friend from the brutal beating of the endless hailstones, I wished for a shield to cover our heads.  Putting my arms above my head in a warding gesture, I reached for my friend and picked him up.  That's when I noticed the hailstones hitting an invisibile plane of force above my head.  I carried the woodsman back to our cottage, protected from the hail."  Jaroth pauses and takes a sip of wine."Ever since that day, if I wished to be protected from something, I willed a plane of force into being, and it was done."  Jaroth finishes."Over the years, I have honed my skills into those necessary for discretion and diplomacy as befitting my status as a wandering messenger and cataloger.  In many ways, I can be thought of as a diviner.  But of late, my power is developing into something much more.""My power is a gift of the Light.  I am connected to the earth, the sky, the sea, the sun, the moon, the forests and all of creatures of the realm.  I feel their joy and share their pain.  Perhaps this is what the Light wishes my powers to evolve into, some sort of empathy.  But even more, to a degree, I believe I can control the forces of nature, and I feel that power growing in me.""The Light has surely blessed me and I am thankful for that blessing."  Jaroth pauses to gage the reactions of the others.</blockquote>
