Arast has been strangely silent since Shazool expounded his plan, inwardly chewing over the details. It all seems too simple, too easy. Not to mention his reservations over Shazool's talk of bringing 'order' to the land - that, in his opinion, is the very last thing it needs more of. The mention of him 'following' an aspect of Cthulhu also draws a wry, acid smile. Such ignorance. He follows nothing and nobody.
And then, of course, there is his pride. He is unused to accepting divine revelations through any medium other than himself, and now that he is faced with the prospect of doing so he finds himself bridling considerably. Hence the sour expression he now wears as he absent-mindedly drums his steepled fingers together.
On the other hand, of course, there is all this talk of magical artifacts. Not to mention the possibility of actually banishing the one, if all this nonsense has any accuracy to it. It certainly seems a desirable result.
Still, he wishes to make his own inquiries and come to a more informed decision. He's not about to accept anything of this magnitude on faith. Still... for now, he cannot deny that his interest has been piqued. Better to go along with it for the time being, then. His silence continues, but he nods his assent to the proposed plans and follows the others out when they go.
OOC: Actually Arast has been strangely silent because I've been on a boat trip. Hope you saw the Absence post, sorry if you didn't.
WarlockLord, Arast has some rather good Knowledge skills in this area. Can I assume he knows of Cthulhu?

For all of his verbosity, Latham has been phantoming his voice for the sake of his demented form of leadership. His preoccupation has mostly been with the odd man Arast, whose silence provides Latham with a strong sense of discomfort. All the talk of gods and the transfer of power, while interesting in base concept and for other philosophical reasons, matters not to Latham when it comes to restoring the peace of the land.
He does not doubt the power Arast possesses, its source unknown, is a true threat to Latham and the uncertainty of its possibilities and unlimited versatility instills a minute jealous suspicion. Through conversation Latham has grown to tolerate if not like the stoic man. Granted the comfort is nothing compared to the odd sense of peacefulness he receives when around Dehg, but having someone with such vast mental faculties is reassuring. But knowing his own mind and how it bends and winds its way to possible advantages, not being privy to Arast's own plottings worries him. And when the man stands silently, rhythmically drumming his fingers, who knows what the future portends.

Caul Vanchar was growing weary of idle talk. "We've got the code word, let's make haste," he said, leaving Shazool's place with his cousin, Nathira, in tow. He popped his head back inside the doorway. "Are the rest of you coming, or am I to go this route alone?"
OOC: Caul and Nathira head to the guild. Need to get this moving. I don't care if anyone else comes along.

OOC: Yes, Arast knows of Cthulhu. He knows so much, he can even pronounce it correctly! 
Our heroes reach the bar. It is full of people and busy. It is brightly lit and is the last place you'd expect a theives guild to be. A barmaid approaches and asks for your order.

Van picks up on an imaginary conversation with Nathira. "No, no, you're doing it all wrong. It's 'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers'. PECK of PICKLED PEPPERS. See, even I can say it, and I've got fangs." He pretends to notice the barmaid. "Ah, a mug of your strongest."

Following the rest quietly, Hunter watches as the siblings and relatives walk and talk. He recalls, or has this internal feeling, he once had a brother. Someday he will get most of his memory back. It has been years since it has been erased by some of the followers of the ONE and slowly bits have been coming back, but nothing of possible family or friends.
