The voice is followed by an older man stepping out onto the porch. His brown hair is stringy and he is dressed like a poor merchant or artisan. He clutches an old book to his chest and wheezes as he takes in air and coughs as he breathes it out.He steps up behind Cyrstin and she answers the man her big blue eyes locked on Aarons. "These are the people my vision told of father. The Scourge is coming and we must go, we must go with them." "Non *cough* non *cough* nonsense," the man chokes out. He moves to stand in front of his daughter finally looking at the group. He eyes the horses and weapons and when his gaze falls to Barrik his eyes widen, "Mandragore?" he says and then blinks. "No *cough* you are *cough* cough*," he goes into a fit of coughing for a few moments and then when he can speak continues. "Who are you?" Torrent steps in showing the white of her teeth but the smile is not in her eyes. "We are travelers passing through. And I am sorry but we have no room or provisions to take others into are group. And Barrik has a reasonable question who are you and why do you live so close to the Fire Forest?" she asks near politeness. "My name *cough* is Haddin Ja-Laffa *cough*," Haddin answers, "And we *cough* *cough* are going nowhere." he finishes and coughs continously as he reenters the stone house.Cyrstin looks back at you after watching her father leave sadness on her face. "Please help us." she says near to tears. Torrent just looks to the sky and grumbles. [sblock=Detect Magic] There is an aura present on Cyrstin and her staff is magical. I will roll your know arcana to identify the school... Nope sorry unknown to Fantalass.[/sblock][sblock=Detect Good] She has a very faint aura of good. She isn't high enough LVL to show up on the chart which I don't like. [/sblock][sblock=Knowledge(local) DC10] Twenty years ago, Haddin was a skilled artist and respected citizen of Gate Pass, but his half-orc half-brother Mandragore was a notorious criminal. One day, suddenly, Mandragore turned over a new leaf and began working to redeem his name. Rumors eventually arose that Haddin was mentally dominating his brother, and an investigation revealed it was true. Within weeks, amid protests of countless people who believed — right or wrong — that Haddin had likewise dominated them, Haddin’s reputation was ruined. His brother tried to defend him, but was killed by rioters, and Haddin fled the city in disgust, taking his wife and newborn daughter. Occasionally people would see a young woman who closely resembled Haddin’s wife come into town to get supplies, her expression distant. The stories  say that this is Haddin’s daughter, dominated by the bitter old mage.[/sblock]</blockquote>
