As she began to ask questions concerning the creature they were soon to be hunting, Ayden paused and thought for a moment."While wraiths and ghosts share many similar traits, a wraith does not have the strength that a ghost has, and in that we will be fortunate. However, they are far from being powerless, as their incorporeal nature does give them many advantages over us. Normal steel will pass through them as if passing through smoke, but enchanted blades will strike them as if they were made of flesh and blood. Also, magic will wound them, and we are fortunate to have Andreas, whose mastery of the weave could be what gives us our edge in the upcoming battle."Reaching into the bag at his side, Ayden pulled out the enchanted blade from its depths."Calenthang, while I know this blade is not your normal choice, I do believe that for the time being, it would be much better suited to our task than what your currently weild."Pausing for another moment, Ayden tried to recall all he could about the wraith."All undead are weakened in the presence of strong faiths, and while I have become stronger in my ties with my great uncle, I can not promise that I will be able to stop the creature for long, if at all. However, perhaps our combined attempts will succeed where a single priest would fail."Turning to face Drogo, Ayden remembered more and passed it to the halfling druid."Animals are able to detect the undead long before the races of man can. Perhaps with your affinity for nature, you will know if your canine companion senses the creature before we do."Turning back to face them all once more, Ayden passed the last bits of lore he could remember."The greatest danger we face from the wraith is its deadly touch. They have the ability to drain a person's life force out of them, and if they drain all that a body possesses, it will rise again much as the peat cutter did. However, they also have a weakness to holy water, and as Telari has suggested it would be nice if we possessed some, but once we locate the creature, we may not have the luxury of returning to town to ask Brother Ernest if he has any holy water stored in the town."Stopping to look at his companions, old and new, Ayden realized that he had volunteered them for something that could very well be beyond their means."If you all would prefer to deal with Naamani's sister before seeking out this wraith, I do understand, but I do feel that if we plan ahead and attack wisely, this dark abomination can be sent to its eternal rest. However, I am but one man, and I would never ask any of you to follow me into what could be seen as a fool's errand."</blockquote>
