The Reconquista: Part I (Shadows over Istivin)

[James Heard]

Mavic peers more closely at the cell from his vantage point, looking for any telltale marks which might indicated a binding or more magical element to the prisoner's residence.

Latalya

Latalya continues to watch the man with suspicion...

 

[Bloodweaver1]

"I believe I have seen this before." She offers. Looking from the Marquis to the rest of the team and says, "The Marquis of Sterich is quit possibly possesed."


OOC: Detect Evil

 

[Rhun]

"Possessed, eh?" asks Reivik, disgust evident in his voice. Only the weak of will were susceptible to such things, if the ancient tales were to be believed.

Anastasia:
[sblock]OOC: The man in the cell registers as having an overwhelming strength evil aura. In addition, you discern numerous (at least 6) other evil auras of strong strength either just on the other sides of the walls all around you, or in the walls themselves.[/sblock]

Mavic:
A quick scan around the cell reveals no magical writing. Upon closer inspection, you can see that the walls and most of the furniture is covered in written Common and Keolandish. From your vantage point you can only discern a few of them (others are too small or blocked by furniture), but seem to be nonsensical or completely illogical. They certainly reveal a writer with a deeply disturbed mind.

Gregor whines slightly in his throat, and pads around the others slightly. Reluctant to reveal himself until more information is available, he pretends to be no more a human mind than Beau. He keeps a close eye on the Marquis, not willing to accept that the man's madness makes him harmless.

 

[James Heard]

"Ahem, what's that written on the walls?"

The too familiar sound of metal sliding against metal fills the air as Anastasia quickly draws her sword and spins in a defensive stance towards the wall. “It’s a trap! We have incoming through the walls!” She shouts quickly.

OOC: If it is a trap, she will delay until she can effectively strike a target. If not, she will stand ready none-the-less

 

[Rhun]

At Anastasia's words, Reivik instantly has Bar at the ready, the massive battle-sledge glinting in the light. "More shadows?" he asks, his voice low.

 

[hafrogman]

A low growl emenates from Gregor's throat as his hackles raise and he backs away from the walls. The shadows were horrible foes, and he could still feel their lingering touch from his last encounter with the dark souls. He waits for confirmation of what approaches before deciding what to do.
