«I don’t trist anyone hiding behind a mask. And I agree, this one doesn’t seem like a skilled mage yet. I am still shaken by the story from the servant, the way his mind was torn and the fact that this goo almost seems alive.»
Alenas shakes his head in this disbelief, and ponders the next best...
As they approach the manor not there anymore, Alenas is gripped by a sense of dread. Whatever horrible and foul magic can do something like this? Consuming an entire building, making people mad at the touch. This is something he fears they haven't come close to facing before. Still, he has...
"I think you might very well be right about that Thisk. But first I think we should go and not see the manor. Maybe we can discover something there that others haven't."
Alenas turns to the female guard, keeping his voice gentle and with a reassuring smile.
"Thank you for your help, and please...
«Thank you. I will see that you will be freed of this torment.»
Alenas gives a nod, even though he knows the man probably doesn’t notice it anymore. He walks out of the room, grabs and sheathes his rapiers from Montsombre as he gives a accurate rundown of the conversation with Payne. While...
«This sounds awful, I won't lie to you. But this is very helpful indeed, and I hope we can help find out what happened, and maybe help you recover again.»
Alenas tries hard to remember all he has read and heard about magic and anything that light be related to this ooze, and if he has seen it...
«Do not worry, I am here trying to help you. What is it that never ends?»
Although Alenas might seem calm, he is roaring with feelings in his mind. Music moves him like nothing else, and even though he has both played and heard beautiful music many times before, not many experiences can match...
Alenas sits down, and tries to concentrate on the rythm and flow of his words. After a few loops he starts playing his flute, soft and mellow, matching Paynes rythm and tone.
While doing this he watches the man closely, seeing if there is any reaction or anything that seems like an opportunity...
«Thank you, sir.»
Alenas says, not moving while Payne straightens his clothes. He does however, when Payne turns around, do small adjustments on his clothes again, seeing if Payne reacts in any way.
«Do you mind if I sit down?» He asks with a soft voice.
Alenas hands his weapons over to Montsombre, takes out his flute in one hand and walks into the room. Both hands visible, he slowly walks into the room where Lesym is. He tries to take notice of the state of the man as he enters, as well as the room, to see if there is anything he can use to get...
«Don’t you worry, we will do no harm to this man. He has probably suffered enough already. Have you caught anything at all of what he is saying?» Alenas says to the female guard with a reassuring smile.
«Might be best if only one of us goes in, so we don’t scare the man more than need be. I can...
"Thank you, this is good information. Where is this staff member being held? I think that would be a good place to start our work, and then move on to the site of the missing building, and maybe even pressing the mages a little."
Alenas tries to get a read on the commander, trying to find...
«Yes, you are probably right, both of you. I forgot that we haven’t really spoken to our employer yet. Let’s finish our meal and then go talk to him.»
Alenas is a little embarrased that he forgot all about the commander. But then again, in his experience, the people they have talked to already...
Alenas slips six copper to Kalov before he leaves the table, giving him a quick nod and a smile.
«Breakfast on me today, Monty!»
Alenas soaks in the atmosphere, the sounds of morning conversations and smell of the inn. This is his favourite time of the day, and especially so when good...
Alenas wakes from his slumber, grabs the dagger he always keeps close, but hidden and puts on his clothes. While sitting close to his window, playing his lute he contemplates the series of coincidenses that led to him being here, at this moment, with the strange group of companions.
After a...
«Thank you for your time. And I promise you my gang won’t be a bother to you, even thought we might be the most ordinary gathering of people.»
Alenas slips a couple of silvers to the barkeep, gives a quick nod with a smile, and joins the group again, passing on all he learned.
«I’ll get some...
«I am sure you understand a lot more than you give yourself credit for. Last question before I leave you to your book: Know the name of the servants? Might be they know something wortwhile.»
«Sounds like a fascinating woman. Anything else you can tell me about her that might be useful? And can you descrive the sound to me?»
Alenas notices the man reaching for his book, and smiles to the man again.
«Myself and my companions will retire to our rooms shortly, I know how long the days...
«I agree Monty. Checking out the manor missing is probably a good place to start, and talking to the unwilling mages. Something must be keeping then from helping the investigation.»
Alenas finished up the meal, gathers a room-key from Ixen while paying his share back to her with a nod and...
«Food and ale please, barkeep.»
Alenas sits down and pulls out his lute, playing melancholy and somber tones, matching the weather outside and his mood bacause of the weather.
