Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk
Like what?
Bronsk wonders idly to himself, glancing nervously around at the enclosing buildings.If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Varek nods at Lisaa and Karl, grateful for their understanding.
"Come on Bronsk, let's go. Just keep cool okay ?"
He begins to walk up to the building, hoping Bronsk will follow.

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk
Bronsk mutters something under his breath in the harsh syllables of the Nord tongue, and glances nervously over his shoulder as Varek leads him in.
I've never liked alleys and cities...If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Varek leads Bronsk into one of the buildings, and once inside, they are immediately greeted by Boris, who is followed by a few more kids, a girl and two boys. Both boys following Boris are wielding clubs. Boris makes a halting motion towards Varek and Bronsk. "Okay Varek. What's this all about?"

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Varek nods at the others, smiling, but can feel the tenseness in the air.
"It's complicated. But truth is, the guards caught me and there was a fight. As you can see, i am still around so... i got away obviously. And Bronsk and his friends helped me. Of course they weren't to keen on someone fighting city guards but... yeah. I explained everything to them and they know i didn't do nothing wrong."
Varek fidgets a bit.
(Yeah well, they will hear about the dead guards soon enough....)
"It's just.. it would really be best if.. if i just.. you know... disappear for a while. Just so happens, these guys are travelling adventurers of sorts and they offered me to join them. So i told them that i can't really leave, what with me being the toughest brawler in our gang and such... but this guy Bronsk here, he's... er.. he knows about spirits and stuff and he told me, he cut a deal with some spirits that would agree to help protect us.. you all. For a bit of worship and gratitude. Well okay, for a decent amount of worship. But i'm not good at all with this stuff so it's best if Bronsk told you whats this about, right Bronsk ?"
Varek is somewhat nervous, he doesn't feel comfortable about telling his friends half-truths like that at all... but... if they knew the truth, could they ever bring themselves to listen to him ? Or Bronsk for that matter ?

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Boris nods slowly, listening to what Varek has to say, and it is clear that he doesn't like it. "I really hope you are joking Varek. How can we replace you, our strongest member, with some spirits that maybe don't even exist? Are you sure you can't stay? We could hide you away. The guards wouldn't find you. C'mon. There has to be some way to keep you around."

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk
Bronsk nods.
"Yez, spirits are hard to see at first, but they are very real. I have asked two strong spirits, Xe'ls and Takaya, to look out for hyu, and they have said yes."
Bronsk outlines for the children what he'd told Varek about the construction and tending of a shrine.
"Just treat them with respect, and they will grant hyu their protection."If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Varek really feels bad trying to circumvent the whole truth of the situation. But they will hear soon enough that a couple of guards were torn to shreds by a monster ....
"Look.... it's really bad. I had to fight the guards, that one bastard tried to kill me ... and i killed him... and two, three more.... didn't count, just ran away."
"Do you understand ? As long as i'm still around they will never quit searching for me, and you know that they will not be gentle. I have to leave or you all would have to suffer for it. Do you think i want to run away ?"
He gestures at Bronsk "Those people are decent folks, they were about to turn me in for murder but they listened to my side of the story. And they agreed to allow me to travel with them. So.. it's best if i take up their offer and go away. And Bronsk here knows about spirits and he promised that he would ask them to protect you, now that i no longer can."
Varek falls silent again, hoping that Boris will understand the situation.

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Boris listens to Varek, the expression on his face utterly stunned. After Varek has finishes speaking, there is a period of uncomfortable silence, before he softly answers. "Very well. And how are these spirits going to protect us?"

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk
Bronsk scratches his chin, looking from face to face.
"It iz...subtle. Luck may favor hyu, and maybe even apparitions. They will also give inspiration, when hyu must battle. But what they do, they decide they will do."If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Boris sighs. "So you're telling us that we're supposed to worship these... whatever they were called, and in return we'll "magically" have more luck." From the tone in his voice, it's clear that he isn't very impressed by this. "And how would we go about doing this... "worshipping"?"

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk
Bronsk waves a hand. "Iz not really 'worshiping.' Iz more like...they are respected friends. You make a table or a pile of rocks somewhere. in woods iz best, but on a roof or somewhere with fresh air iz fine too. The shrine can be wood or stone; but what iz important iz that it should be tended; maybe once, twice a week, it should be visited, kept clean...maybe add a painting or a carving or a candle or a ribbon, or a bell, or even a little food and water..." Bronsk counts these items on his fingers.
"And when hyu visit, thank Xe'ls and Takaya. (these are the spirits I have asked to help you) Just say 'thank hyu, Xe'ls and Takaya, for watching over us,' and they'll listen."
The healer smiles. "They like it when hyu pay attention. So, tell them things, or ask questions. And a little flattery never hurts."If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

"And you said, they should be carrying small carvings or somesuch ? Of a crow or a wolf ?" Varek interjects cautiously.

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Boris nods slowly. "Very well then. Thank you for the advice. Now goodbye." Boris turns and leaves with his two guards, leaving Bronsk and Varek standing there, with his female companion looking after him reluctantly.

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Varek looks over at the girl and shrugs apologetically "Sorry Janice. But it's complicated. I'm sure you all will understand soon.... uhm.. do you happen to know if aunt Sarah is home ? I'd like to say goodbye to her too."

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Varek nods "Okay then... sorry about this mess. I wish it wouldn't have come to this."
He turns around to walk away, hoping to get this awkward situation over with.
"Come on Bronsk, let's go see Sarah. Then i'm ready to leave."
Meeting up with the others outside, Varek informs them of his plans.
"Okay, just one more thing. I need to say good bye to aunt Sarah. She's not really my aunt but she raised me and.. well... she's the closest thing to a mother i have. So i'm not leaving until i got to say good bye to her. Come on, let's go."
Varek goes on to lead the way.

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
SpoilerOkay, tired of waiting for the rest of you. Chopchopchop. Keep up the tempo. Keeping it up is everyone's responsibility.
Varek leads the three others to a nearby building and ask them all to wait outside while he goes in to say goodbye. He then vanishes into the building for a while, and after about ten minutes have passed, he finally exits, carrying a small bag and wearing a heavy sigh plastered across his face.
"I'm done now. We should hurry and finish up our business here and get out before I become too well known."

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Karl nods when Lisaa says more information will be needed.
That curator's granddaughter said she'd have a look through her mother's notes for information about the places. And the curator said the clergy might know a lot... maybe we should go to some temple? I don't know what Gods are worshipped down here. Then tomorrow we could go back and see Nina, to discover if she has found anything in her mother's notes.

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
"I... don't think that's a good idea. The guard you saved is, you know, at the temple. And uh, he could wake up at any time, and then it would be too dangerous for me to stay in the city."
