[QUOTE="Myth and Legend, post: 5239419, member: 82679"] Vivian nods and slowly turns her gaze back to Herriman. Her features are predatorial and give off a sense of dread and lust that has nothing human in it. The Halfing, being quick of wit and sharp of eye, notices that the half filled glass pitcher next to the woman, probably left there by the previous patrons, gives off no reflection of Vivian's image. It is no mirror to be sure, but a blurred view of the fireplace and the tip of the bar are visible, as well as Vivian's empty chair. Herriman is far from a sage of occult lore, but even he has heard the storis of Vampires and their unnatural agility, beauity and their lack of reflection. When he combines that with her ancient accent and her pale, cold skin, there is little doubt in the Halfing's mind. Meanwhile, the woman speaks with a clam tone. [B]"Hm... Yes you have a point. Be careful when entering the Valley though. It's not a place where one can let his guard down, even for a second. Also, there are sevral artifacts, not one.

His eyes shine with blue light and his attention is drawn towards the fight for the moment. Vivian makes a face as if she had eaten something sorrow, and puts her soaked red hood back up, while standing from her chair with a graceful motion. [B]"Clerics with a taste for wine, I never did understand them. Well then, time to leave. I will be seeing you soon Herriman."[/B] the woman states with her alluring voice, blows the Halfing a kiss while smiling charmingly, and then proceeds to walk towards the staircase leading up to the rooms with haste. [CENTER]*** [/CENTER] Ferviel looks at Latham, squinting his eyes and clenching his jaw. [B]"Yeah right, and I ride a pink unicorn in a dress when no one is looking. Just shut up and let's get some wine!"[/B] At the mention of wine Ferviel grins and follows inside, mace in hand, and is almost swept away by the deranged Dwarf. With clanging sounds the wounded muscular fighter parries two strikes thrown at him by what seems to be a Cleric of Helm. Ferviel reacts immediately, eyeing the all-seeing eye of Helm on the priest's shield, and then the blood covered Half-Orc and his oppinent, who are about to slay each other in mortal combat. He reaches for a pouch on his belt, and retreieves s pair of small iron bars attached to two small canine statuettes, one black and one white. [B]"Lathander repell thine enemy!"[/B] he shouts, while raising his hand and holding his deity's Holy Symbol. Ferviel's aura, present around every Cleric, now grows bright and extends around him for a few feet.
