The Whisperers in Darkness

Ceres d'Deneith, Human Hexblade

Ceres follows the others' lead to find a new place to talk, but inwardly thinks C'mon... it ain't all that bad. I've seen a heck of a lot worse...

"OK, so here's my story. Rememebr when the shifter and the human were fighting in the middle of the street? Well, a halfling and I placed a friendly wager on its outcome. Little did I know that the halfling has three thugs waiting in the shadows for someone... a little more gullible than I. I... shall we say suggested to the halfling that he and his friends honor their wager. They didn't take too kindly to my words of persuasion, and I believe they wanted to get their money back the hard way. Not looking for a fight, I was hoping to use something as a distraction... which I hoped would be the three of you arguing" he nods to the two warforged and the human. "Then, all of a sudden, we all froze, and when we could move again, the halfling and his three friends were all gone!"

"At first, I thought it was some magics from our glowing friend, but it was no magic that I recognized. And what was with that giggling child?"

"Well I must admit that the skinny one was someone I had a run in with, but I too have no clue as to the wierd dissappearing act, who was glowing - I must've missed that?"

Ceres looks at Arlalen with a raised eyebrow. "Um, miss, it was you that was glowing. Or didn't you notice?" Ceres stares at Arlalen with a bit of suspicion in his eyes.
 

Arlanen d'Medani - Half-Elven Psion

Arlanen looks somewhat taken aback, "I'm sorry, strange things have been happenning recently - I'm developing in ways I don't really understand. I know I'm not capable of making men not there though."
 

Ceres d'Deneith, Human Hexblade

Ceres' look of suspicion is replaced by one of sympathy. "I can relate. The same thing happened to me... it's hard enough realizing that you've been blessed by the dragonmark of your house" he gestures to something underneath the tunic on his right shoulder "but growing up, strange things would happen to me as well. It took time to realize that I had fallen under the curse of the hexblade." He leans in a bit to whisper to Arlalen. "The trick is to take control of whatever is happening to you. Channel it. Use it. It way take a while to learn how to do that, but it will empower you."
 

Alastor - Human Warmage

Alastor looks at Ceres and Arlanen. "I can only agree with Ceres in this matter, miss Arlanen. Through serious training and mental excercise you should be able to master whatever powers you posses. The same goes for me. I trained at one of Cyre's most prestigious military academies to harness the power of destructive arcane magic and I still have a long way to go before becoming a true master of my art."

He has seemingly forgotten that he introduced himself as a master of the arcane arts...
 

"okay, I know I have a problem - now stop talking at me like I'm a little girl or something." a petulant frown flicks across Arlanen's face.
"I just want to know what happened in the square"
 

I swear these weak-fleshed can talk in circles, or about insignificant things for hours

"Lets not spend more time in useless debate or speculation, it's obvious that none of knows what happened back there, whatever happened, happened for a reason, it will either reveal itself in time, or it won't"

"Instead of talking about things none of us know the answer to, how about we do something constructive, like speak to the local sage or village elder to determine if this has occurred before"

How these people have survived until now, is a mystery to me
 

Ceres d'Deneith, Human Hexblade

"Well, after you..." Ceres says to Shard, in a sarcastic tone, followed by a flamoyant gesture towards to the doors of the inn.

Meets eyecontact with Ceres "No human!, I find it distastful having to talk to your kind."
