The Secret Scion

The Fall of Arden Fair

"I will accompany you as far as I can then Mel and await your pleasure nearby but, if you take too long, let it be known now that I will storm wherever you are and let those that hold you quake in fear as their doom descends" Bail says with steel in his voice.

 

[Bront]

"Thanks Bail, you're sweet," Mel says with a warm smile.

 

[Ferrix]

"I will stay here with Opal and my sister, we have much to discuss." Her face is smooth and calm as ever.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, I think we all need to stay here for now until the furor dies down from our little magical firefight. Besides, I'd like to be part of this discussion...the more I learn about this Dreaming Dark, the more I realise that it must be stopped at all costs...I still shudder when I think about what might have happened to poor Opal here if I had been slower with my magic missile."

 

[Bront]

Mel nods, "I need to change anyway before I go. Something a bit nicer would be best."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Rayni nods.*

"But be careful, Mel. A change of...clothes is usually enough to allay suspicions, but remember that these Quori have been in your head now, and they can communicate amongst each other. We're going to have to assume they may be able to recognise you...they may even be able to find you in your dreams."

"Of course, I know I'm not an expert on this psionic stuff, so our new friends or Sheny may be able to allay our fears in that regard."

 

[Bront]

Mel nods, "You're right, or at least I think so. It was such a blur, I don't remember much of what happened till I was being carried by Bail."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Rayni gives Mel a hug.*

"Don't worry, my friend...my sister. Your heart was stronger, and you prevailed. You can let the memories of the creature mindraping you fade away. Frankly, though death is a natural inevitability, I am glad that none of us met our end this day, despite the blow we struck against the evil force. Let us hope that when they write our story for the ages, this is listed as the first chapter of a grand history, rather than the last."

Something Fishy Grilling at the Drunk Duck!

Tondrek eats happily and messily, cheerfuly ignoring his companions if they do not ask him any direct questions. He occasionally smiles his gleeful grin at the "purty lady" and does not seem to notice Harolk's grimace when the half-orc does so. Overall, its probably one of the happiest days of Tondrek's life that does not involve building something.

The Fall of Arden...

Seeing everyone has calmed down, and no one is running off to do anything stupid at the moment, Bail allows himself to relax. He quietly moves off to a corner and slides down the wall until he is resting on the floor. There he allows himself to rest, closing his eyes and gathering his thoughts.
