The Whispering Cairn (Team Diamond Lake) - IC

Vixtrin whispers at Julian, "JULES...pssst...what the deuce is that thing, is it human?"

"I ain't for knowin' what that is, but let me just... yeah that's better" the man says, taking a few steps back, behind Vixtrin.

Galyne stops skinning the wolf and gives his full attentions to Eldariel. "Its a bit more than that." he says. Pausing slightly, he seems to be debating with himself before continuing "Well its not exactly a secret and I am sure that Ezekiel won't mind me telling you.

Briefly, Ezekiel has had what he is convinced is a prophetic dream, where he saw darkness spreading across the land. In his dream he saw a cave and an item that destroyed the darkness. We believe that cave is the whispering cairn, which is near here. Hence our meeting at this cottage."

Galyne pauses even longer this time and just as it appears he as finish speaking, something seems to occur to him and he continues "Did you say you are an undead hunter? The undead featured prominently in his dream. Perhaps you would care to join us. Your friend is welcome also. Although I can't promise it being safe."

Disgusted with Jules for using her as a hiding post, Vixtrin looks over her shoulder and scowls. As much as to get away from Jules as to get a better look at Aria, Vixtrin steps forward ten feet and peers up at the cabin. "I'm Vixtrin. This's Jules," she points behind herself. Turning halfway back toward Jules, Vixtrin shoots a thumb in his direction. "Jules'll tell ya why we're out here in the dark. Gettin' set upon by wolves. Without recompense. Wontcha, Jules?" Vixtrin looks at Jules, waiting to hear what he'll come up with.

Eldariel quirks an eyebrow, weighing options. If you'll kindly allow us a moment...

He motions for Aria to speak to him in private.

Aria: I think this could be important. Consider this: we've no idea where your powers come from. Also, you have been harassed for some time, and there would be protection in a group of adventurers even I can't provide. I'll go with you, if you'd come along. The fame of being an adventurer could be more fun than waiting in a roofless hut for wolves to eat you.

What do you think?

OOC: Where is Zeke at this time?

OOC: Where is Zeke at this time?

OOC: He hasn't arrived yet. Just have him come down the road

Aria listens to Eldariel, her eyes downcast, chewing her bottom lip uncertainly. She glances out the door at the others more than once. Finally she takes a breath and nods at her elven confidant, then goes to the door and steps outside.

"My name is Aria," she says to the others gathered. "I know that there is evil at work near the town, either in or near the mines. If you've come to fight it, then I ask to come with you. I don't know if it will help me...but I would rather die fighting what caused this, then wait here alone to die."

Her eyes alit on Galyne, and there was something like hope in them. "And if there really is something that can destroy darkness...then perhaps I can yet be saved."

 

[fireinthedust]

Then it is settled. If there is more you wish to tell us, do so. otherwise, where can we go to learn more? This... Cairn of Whispers... we should go and take a look. I have all the supplies I might need with me; Aria, can you leave right away?

Julian looks to speak when the others ask for a moment to themselves, he contents himself with checking his gear.

After their discussion the man steps up, Julian, or Jules. Why am I out here? It's funny you should mention the Whispering Cairn. I was on my way to check it out myself. Ain't that quite the coincidence....well you know what they say? Strength in numbers and all that. Maybe we even keep the wolves away if we're all together." he says.

Galyne continues to skin the wolf as the others discuss going to the cairn. Without looking up he says. "Aria you are welcome to come with us. I hope you find the solution to your problem there. Julian I was expected; but whose your friend. Anyway, there's safety in numbers as they say, so the more the merrier.

Still its Zeke's expedition and he's not here yet. So we should give him a bit longer."
