When Priestess Jenya said that Sarsen was in trouble, trapped by an Ape-Man, I thought It might be the same beast. I probably should have told my companions then.But that wasn’t what I felt guilty about.Priestess Jenya was kind enough to let me use the Star of Justice last week, and it gave me a vision of a massive, gorilla-like beast that attacked a caravan on the road. It’s mouth covered in gore, I watched in my vision as the beast grabbed the head of a camel and snapped off it’s lower jaw to pull the camel’s tongue out. It killed most of the others in the caravan, before taking a large swipe with it’s limb and knocked me off of the ledge we were on. I tumbled briefly then landed on a ledge. Oddly, there was a woman there. She spoke softly, and I don’t remember her face or her exact words, but she looked at me with an expression that spoke volumes, and what it spoke was “THAT will never do”. Then she really spoke, and said she was going to do something so I’d be safe. After that, everything went white and the vision faded.I probably should have told my companions that as well. But what I felt guilty about was what we found out after the vision. Jenya said there was an Arcane Mark on my arm. She couldn’t read it, but it glowed briefly during the vision. She offered to remove it, and I was tempted to have her do it, but I didn’t know what else I would have that could lead me to more information about my past. But this I still didn’t tell my companions. I didn’t know if someone could track me through it, and what there intentions would be if they could, but once we were on the way to the Lucky Monkey, They may have known we were coming and that could put my companions in danger. And I feel guilty that I didn’t tell them.That’s not to say I didn’t try. I asked Jenya before we left if she could remove the mark, but she didn’t have the spell available to her. I tried to tell them on the way, but we were interrupted by...monkeys. A pack of them. Then we were fighting at the Inn itself, and it was moot. In the end, it didn’t matter. Astrid dispatched tongue-eater in one swing. I couldn’t learn anything from him except that he was a Were-Gorilla. If it was a trap, it wasn’t a good one, and we made our way back to Cauldron without incident. But still, I felt guilty about not telling them.</blockquote>
