Grazys Senneker
Having been deep in thought, Grazys finally blinks his eyes a few times and returns to the group. "So when they join a body, tha curse is ended for them, but they're still stuck in a dual-existence which won't end until their host dies? In tha meantime, they really do only come out at night."I have returned!! Not that most of y'all know whom I am.

Matthew, I will do what I can to help you.AdamAbel, Elyham - who is your son. Has he merged with a settler? Can you describe him?
Quickly, Reid passes on the nature of his question and their responses to the others.Last edited by Toliudar; 2008-03-26 at 11:29 AM.

Reid:
SpoilerAbel, not Adam. :P
Our son's name is Rico. He is fourteen, and he is still trapped in the Raidente test, torn between the test and the curse. Elyham tells you.
We cannot reach him without starting the test ourselves, and we would be in the same position he is in. Abel adds.

On a side note, there is a woman in town who speaks in both the regular tounge and with an accent. I wonder if she is faking being a rider or is a willing participant?Excellent Avatar of Uri by Retun of Lanky (Aka Lanky Bugger)

Re: Auromar, IC 2
Reid
SpoilerWhat I get for posting before coffee.
I don't understand. Where is Rico? Is there any way I might reach him?
His eyes snapping back into focus, Reid responds to Dothen's musings.
Perhaps she has found a way of avoiding attracting the souls. Or perhaps she is a "sharer", whose visitor-soul relinquished control for part of the conversation."We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." Kurt Vonnegut

Reid:
SpoilerHe occasionally appears near the temple, parts of his body. If his head appears, we can speak with him, but he's not quite all there, if you understand.
Grazys:
SpoilerAnother one of the spirit points outside the building joins the three inside the building that Reid doesn't have control over. They're currently not close to your room though.

Re: Auromar, IC 2
Reid
The priest nods.
Ah. I'll ask them about the others. Also, Grazys - it seems that Rico sometimes appears, in parts, by the temple. If his head appears, he is able to converse. We may be able to learn more about him - but I'll need your help, when the time comes, to actually find him in the first place.
He turns his thoughts back to the spirits.
There are several other spirits down below, and one that's just joined them. Do you know them, and can you converse with them? Are there still disembodied spirits of the guards about, and do they interact freely with the rest of the disembodied souls?"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."

SpoilerOthers of the town. Yes we can converse with them, and there are a couple of guards. They normally stay near the prison and have stated their claim to any lawbreakers they will take over.

Re: Auromar, IC 2
Reid
Blanching slightly, Reid turns again to his friends.
The souls can converse with each other. There are still a couple of the spirits of the former guards in a disembodied state. They tend to congregate around the prison, and have claimed any "lawbreakers" as their own. Perhaps Mister Kjapp isn't telling us everything, or the spirits who have achieved a bodied form have grown tired of waiting for new subjects in which to introduce their colleagues - and so are trumping up a scenario against him.
The souls downstairs are others of the townspeople - not guards.
It would...be interesting to know if the spirits of the guards look any different to Grazys' perceptions than the other sparks. Can you sense as far away as the jail?"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." Kurt Vonnegut

Re: Auromar, IC 2

Shaking his head, the binder replies to Reid's question. "I can sense 'em all in town, but there's no way I can tell ta differentiate 'em.
Good ta know those're normal folks downstairs. Course I s'pose regular folk can be selfish an' try an' force somethin' as much as tha next guy, eh?"I have returned!! Not that most of y'all know whom I am.

Law breakers... such as those who assist in prison breaks.
Do your new friends know why the guards haven't possessed Kjapp yet?

Re: Auromar, IC 2
Reid
Reid tilts his head at Grazys' comment.
Well, I suppose. If the next guy is a cold-blooded killer.
Abel, as you understand it, what happens when you, ah, enter a host? Do you take over control whenever you exert it. Is there a shared consciousness? Do you become one person? The spirits who have taken on human appearance are a bit circumspect about this.
Nodding to Dothen, he adds.
I'll ask.
An...acquaintance of ours is currently held in the jail area, and he doesn't seem to have a host. If there are a couple of the souls of guards there, do you know of any reason why he wouldn't have been taken over by this point?Last edited by Toliudar; 2008-03-26 at 02:25 PM.

SpoilerWe share consciousness, as far as I know. As I do not share a body with anyone now, I cannot tell you any more than that. Abel's voice tells you.
As for the one in the jail, if he protected his body when he slept, they would have to fight him for his body.

Re: Auromar, IC 2
Reid
Ah, thank you. It makes sense that if he were able to shield his body, it would have been proof from the guardsmen's, ah, intentions. Do you know how that kind of protection is accomplished?
And, ah, Abel...when you say that you do not share a body with anyone now, should I infer that you did at one point?"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." Kurt Vonnegut

Re: Auromar, IC 2
Reid
Reid very much hoped that his next thoughts did not convey to the four spirits.
What, more? More for my shoulders! Sure. Pile it on.
He turned to his companions, a tinge of fervour in his voice.
We've got to try something! If the guards stay near the jail, it should be safe enough to go to the temple. Perhaps we can find Rico - get his perspective. Look more for the source that Hist is talking about. And...
His voice falters.
Perhaps we could take these four with us?"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." Kurt Vonnegut

Re: Auromar, IC 2
Reid
Reid nods eagerly.
I'll ask. Ah, Hist, Dothen - you probably got a better overview of the town than I did. Is there a path to the temple that doesn't take us close to the jail. You know, just in case.
Abel has speculated that there may be a way that Kjapp is shielding his body from the invasion. In any case, a couple hours more, as it gets truly dark, won't make a difference.
If Dothen and Hist signal a willingness to head back to the temple, Reid will happily head downstairs, following directions to the temple."We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." Kurt Vonnegut

Re: Auromar, IC 2
Dothen
Dothen thinks for a moment. I think I can get you there, may take a few extra minutes but it shouldn't be too hard. With that Dothen stands and looks out the window for a moment scanning the street and surrounding area, if it is clear he will slip out the window. Poking his head back in a he says Meet me by the out house.Excellent Avatar of Uri by Retun of Lanky (Aka Lanky Bugger)

Re: Auromar, IC 2
Hist
Hist, after his friend has gotten clear of the window, focuses on his spells. With a smile, he fades from view, just as his wings begin to appear.
With an unseen smile, he flies out the window, aiming for the outhouse.

Re: Auromar, IC 2
Dothen
Dothen steps out on to the walls and moves around the inn till he can see the outhouse. He stays on the wall until he sees that the outhouse is open. He then goes and stands up wind of the outhouse, hidden from sight waiting on his friends.

Re: Auromar, IC 2
Reid
Reid manages a pale shadow of Grazys' lopsided grin.
Oh, sure. Takes long-dead beings into your body for powers. Makes a pact with a, well, a Scholar. Sees dead people. I can see how your life is one long stretch of tedium.
Considering the challenges ahead, Reid takes a moment and stuffs his armour into his pack as well. Slinging it onto his shoulders, he follows Grazys out.
We are going to try to contact Rico. Please, come with us, friends. If you sense the proximity of any of the disembodied spirits of guards, please let me know."We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." Kurt Vonnegut

The four of you can meet up without issue and make it to the church. When you get there, the temple looks fairly well deserted.
It is raining lightly, misting the area.
Grazys:
SpoilerYou can sense the four spirits that Reid has control over near you all, and two spirits inside the temple.
