"The Black Stag? Ah, 'Wheels and Steel'." He relaxes a bit, and smiles - but it is not a kind smile. "You were wise to seek the counsel of this old men in the ways of the forest. I know much. For example, I know that which you came for - the marks in the soil, the blood shed and the life spared."He judges your reaction. "Yes, I can explain what you must do, for the Black Stag to relent his assualt. But you must do so much more, if you wish to live so close to the forest. There are rituals, customs, blessings, bargains... so much to do. It will take time, and effort, and I will have to visit your place and teach you there, and go to the gods and beg them to forgive your sins.""And why should I do all that? You have come to my village, and in return for our hospitality slew our guardian. Now what shall protect us against the witches? If indeed you are not in league with them, alligned as you are with their progeny." He looks at Pavel again.*********************As Volkmar and Puck near the party, they become more and more aware that something is entirely wrong. There seems to be a whisp of smoke snaking about around Grozny, circling him, ever shifting. When you get close enough, you realise it is your second sight that sees what lies beneath the mundane surface: it isn't smoke, it is a spirit trapped within Grozny, dancing within him like a flame dances at the top of a candle. It lashes out at the others, but is bound by the circle of leaves, and recoils whenever it hits it. You are not sure what the beast is, but Volkmar is reminded of the infernal hordes he fought so long ago - for all you see of it are claws, and fangs, and sometimes, a gaping mouth of sharp, ethereal teeth.OOC: Second Sight 12 (6+1 Per+5 Ability) for Puck, (3+2 Per+4 Ability) 9 for Volkmar. Both will do.No one said the ward was facing outwards...</blockquote>
