[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 3881894, member: 4441"] Arrgha'n, the hall seems to be perfectly normal, perhaps with a faint hint of dust in the air, like this place isn't used very often. There is also not a servant in sight, and while your experience with the rich is extremely limited, you know that the high, mighty, or monied have servants that do everything for them. For this man, presumably Orthos, to answer the door himself is odd. Orthos (you all assume) seems mildly relieved at Maavnod's comment, but loses his cool completely when Valerian pulls out the coil symbol. "[color=silver]Mockery! You-. It-. They've [i]been[/i] here now. The Coil... The Cult of the Coil,[/color]" he says in a frantic whisper. When Oliver's reasoned words cut through his hysteria, he draws himself up short. "[color=silver]I am a barrister, a man of the law! My clients pay me well! One was a hunter, he paid with unusual skins that he sent through a series of couriers. I sent them to be dyed and now [i]this[/i]. I think they've been tracking it, whatever beast that once was, and it called them. Maybe they'll leave well enough alone now, maybe...[/color]" he says, gray and shaking. "[color=silver]I wasn't threatened, but the [i]dreams...[/i] And you, goliath, I heard of your kind, but you... you bear [i]their[/i] scars.[/color]" [/QUOTE]
