Twisted Infinity

Shifter simply nods to himself as all is spoken, and then says only two words.

"I agree."

OOC: When he is returned, Shifter will use his amulet of the planes to planeshift within 5d100 miles of the meeting place, and then will shift into an adult brass dragon and hustle (60 miles an hour) fly towards the meeting, shifting back when he gets near the city. He'll use shift healing to cure whatever subdual he takes.

Glangim looks to Elly, his eyes widening, "Aye, it's me ya hard knockin' rascal, I found what I was lookin' for and a whole lot more mind ye'. Ye can call me Glangim now. We best be getting on, Sigil is awaitin'."

Otherwise, Glangim lets the others have there say, a slip of a frown crosses his face when Ata discouragingly remarks against the force before them. His mind is on the action ahead. I shall intern my friend properly, and then be on my way to this Sigil. His hand drops to his hammer, clenching it with the resolution of all the stones.

Elly puts her hand on the little dwarf's shoulder and says sadly: "Because if what he says is true, we can't afford not to believe him. If he's a liar, we made a trip to Sigil for nothing; if he's true, we lose the world."

Ata does not move, but replies, "What if his words move us so that we make that which we see, instead of preventing it?"
 


Tares watches Gha’uem’s invisible hand apparently manipulating an off color portion of the wall, there are no discernible controls, he pauses with Elly and Tares’s question.

“We are flying in the face of fate now. There is no way to tell what will happen. I don’t imagine we will meet again though. What is left for you at Sigil is only enough to get you started in discovering what you need to know on your own.”

“As for our enemy, you must discover him on your own, but I will tell you this: He is ancient, so old that he may have no beginning. And he is Evil in the purest sense.”

With that his hand raises to the panel and instantaneously the members of the group find themselves at the exact place from which they were taken:

Ata, Glangim~

Aegrin Stonesplitter looks at both of them, “Lads? Ye be alright?”

The processional moves slowly through the streets. Derrick was well loved and as far as either Ata and Glangim can tell, the entire city comes to pay their respect. When it finally makes it way to the great stone doors to the tomb, Morda steps forward to say a few final words.

“We return Derrick from the bones of the earth from which Moradin carved the first dwarves. Let the tears shed this day be for the livin’ for Derrick has returned to the Dwarfhome.”

She turns and walks to the great stone doors. She turns to the bearers of Derricks body and intones ceremoniously, “We go to the deep earth as Moradin made us, in peace. Only those that represent the will of the dwarves may be proceeding with arms and armor.”

Glangim can feel the eyes of everyone gathered on him as the priests gather the weapons and armor of the others. Morda moves to him and looks at him questioningly.

Shifter~

Savaesa’s mocking laugh starts again abruptly and Shifters wings lose a beat, but he quickly recovers.

“We are not so far away,” she shouts, “Perhaps we shall hunt together soon.”

With that she takes flight heading south east, up towards the mountains.

Elly~

Not even the crickets seem to have noticed her abrupt reappearance. She stands outside of the town, now looking remarkably peaceful.

Dimitri~

Reynni begins to stir and then he looks around terrified. When he sees Dimitri, he is visibly relieved. The boy rises and comes over to Dimitri.

“I’m sorry Master Abbot, we shouldn’t have been here. But Taemin called me a chicken and I’m not.” The boy seems remarkably calm despite the situation. Dimitri can’t help but think those are prime ingredients for most adventurers, calm under pressure and stupidity when faced with a challenge.

Tares~

It is a little disorienting going from standing up to sitting down. As he gains his bearings, he can hear the gigantic tree creak and groan around him. He is sure that Saehdrin has detected what must have been a massive surge of magic and is communicating it to Elusriel.
 

Ata's frown has not dissipated; he waits patiently for a time when he can speak to Glangim in private about their "experience".
 

Tares mends the wrinkles in his robes and cloak, and gets up, thinking on talking with Elusriel. She may be still available, given how little -real- time he´s been away.

When (if?) he finds her, he excuses for having to leave so soon. "The travel logs were insightful" says "And I know have enough clues to continue working on my own, so I don´t have to disturb you any more. But the point could be moot anyway; I have things of extreme importance to do that cannot be delayed. I´m sorry to be such an annoyance, but there´s not another way."

"Look after Cerren well, by the way. He´s a promising young"

Tares then prepares to leave, casting Greater Teleport back to his tower; there, he unfolds the portable hole and gets his two mirrors from it. Using the silver one, he casts Greater Scrying, looking for the other who were with him in Gha´uem´s place (?); then using the mirror to open a portal to that place. [That, and the teleport, should exhaust most of my 7th level slots, leaving only one]

He also announces the king -privately- that he´ll leave, probably for some days, but that as always he´ll keep watching the castle.

His hands loose, Glangim nods his head to Morda, an uncommon reverence in his motions. His hammer stoic at his hip, his shield slung over his back, he passes by her and takes up the place of honor as a bearer. His movement the first smooth stroke of a smithy's hammer shaping the pure stock into a masterpiece of craft. No words be needed for me actions now.

"We can but do as we feel is right. To be paralyzed to inaction through fear of causing that you seek to prevent is no better than surrender. In the end, evil would still triumph"

"It's a thin line between bravery and foolishness Reynni. You're lucky not to have been hurt worse for stepping across it this morning. Now run along home and tell your father what happened. Also, tell him I said that next Saturday you and your friend Taemin are to come to the Abbey and spend the working with Brother Taliln in the Abbey gardens."

With that, Dimitri sends Reynni off home and starts walking back to the abbey, his thoughts whirling. Upon his return, he seeks out Brother Taliln.

"Brother, I have been called and must answer. I will be leaving soon and know not when I will return. Will you and the other see to the Abbey in my absence?"
