Session III - The Seventh Palace

Organiser's Comment

Drats, still nothing to rant about.

Fun session. Oh, now that I actually gave Caeilie a bit of back story (to make Varadrion feel even worse, of course), I really want him back...

Plot Summary

The group have arrived at Ograkk, after Thor's insistence. The town is completely empty, there is not one creature left; they seem to have fled from the city very quickly. The sky roars with thunder as the group have a look about. Ariea and Caeilie are talking, he reveals that he has a wife and two children in Viirnial (and is expecting a third), Ariea says that the group could make time to visit.

A red liquid begins to pour from the sky. Shandor reports that it is blood. Kalypse seems rather unperturbed, but most of the others go for cover. Shandor and Faelnon think it would be best to head up to one of the odd buildings, a palace. They set off and arrive as quickly as possible. Faelnon investigates a library as the others spread out, taking a look about the rooms. Varadrion enters the dining room, then the adjacent kitchen. Shortly after, there is a lot of noise from the kitchen, when the others go to investigate, it appears Varadrion has tripped and knocked over several pots and pans in the process. Caeilie goes to investigate a series of marble pillars in the main hall as the others go upstairs. Calaryn stops on the stairs and sits down. Varadrion discreetly slips back into the dining room. While the others take a look around upstairs, something grabs Caeilie and swiftly runs a knife across his throat. He falls to the ground, dead. Calaryn is shocked and lets out a scream. The others arrive back at the stairs to discover Calaryn, and the corpse of Caeilie down below. Faelnon rushes over to Caeilie, who manages to say: 'Dragons. Tildruin explains all...'

Calaryn says that Varadrion murdered Caeilie, she saw it. Shandor takes a sword and bursts into the dining room to find Varadrion on the fall, unconscious, he presses the sword at Varadrion's chest, but does not kill him. When Varadrion comes around he claims to have no recollection of the incident. A heated argument takes place before Faelnon (and a little later, Cyria) snaps and demands a moment's silence for Caeilie. Shandor goes over to sit down at the table, when he pulls the chair out, a dagger that was lodged there tumbles to the ground, it was stained in blood. Shandor sees this as further proof. Faelnon demands that all weapons are removed from the group. Varadrion gives up his sword to Thor, when Thor points out that he also carries daggers. Varadrion nods and removes six sheathes, only five of which have daggers. Faelnon takes the bloodied dagger - it easily slips into the sheath. Faelnon orders no-one to do anything, and for Thor to look after Varadrion. He, meanwhile, goes out to the marble pillars to translate them.

A while later, he reveals that:

רשת Faelnon begins, 'This-' he points to the top, '-talks about a thing called the Seventh. It continues, and says, 'The Seventh escaped the City before the Bringer was slain'.'

רשת Faelnon says, 'I've been thinking of it, and I believe this is talking of a seventh dragon. When we summoned them, we only ever got six. This one escaped Tildruin before the Bringer, or the mother dragon, was killed.'

רשת Faelnon points to a middle section, 'This, on the other hand, talks about the powers of the Seventh.'

רשת Faelnon explains, 'It shows the Seventh as a crudely drawn winged beast, another dragon. However, it then shows it becoming an Orc.'

רשת Faelnon continues, lighting up various sections of a large carving, 'Here's where it gets interesting, this picture shows the other Orcs on the ground, covering their ears, in pain. It then shows the dragon-Orc disappear into another Orc, who then has red markings around it. The Orc with red picks up a spear, and slays the leader, indicated with this crown.'

רשת Shandor says, 'Are you saying this Seventh is taking over people?'

רשת Faelnon nods, 'I believe so, the pillar continues to make mentions of its ability. The dragon-Orc ascends to leadership of the city, and these two buildings are created.'



It seems that Varadrion was forced into killing Caeilie. The group accept this knowledge, but are still disheartened by this fact. They head up to their adopted rooms and lock the doors, some choosing to barricade theirs.

Full Log (See Below for 'The Best of the Rest')



<@Narrator> <<<<< The 'Quest' III >>>>>>

<@Narrator> The dark clouds have continued, following the group in an unending dreariness. The wagon train has travelled west for a day and has reached the gates of Ograkk. The city looks completely empty; there is no man, woman, child or beast in it.

<@Narrator> The buildings look relatively alike, there are a few empty squares, forges and an entrance to a mine or two. Along the ridge of the base of a mountain are two unusual structures. The first of these is a large palace structure resting on the rock, the other is a tower a few hundred metres away that is half-buried into the rock like someone had driven an iron spike into a piece of wood.

<@Narrator> The streets seem full of abandoned objects, rusted blades, damaged foods and axes, all were left.

<@Narrator> The 'train stops as a bellow of thunder sounds over head.

רשת Faelnon clambers off the 'train and looks about.

רשת Varadrion steps off the train and walks over to some of the abandoned objects

רשת Shandor wonders where the orcs would go.

רשת Isondil climbs off the train and looks around uneasily

רשת Cyria leaps off the train and looks about the lifeless town

רשת Kalypse follows quietly

רשת Calaryn looks out the window and says 'Creepy'

רשת Isondil nods to Calaryn

רשת Varadrion walks over to a house and looks inside

רשת Ariea is talking to Caeilie, 'Two children, huh? Wow, I can't imagine myself with children.'

רשת Caeilie smiles, 'But they are wonderful, here, have a look.' He removes a small locket, inside is a portrait of his family.

רשת Tengu jumps down with the train, looks around and pokes the abandoned axe with his toe.

רשת Calaryn moves out of the wagon

רשת Ariea smiles, 'They look beautiful. You are a lucky person.'

רשת Varadrion knocks on the door of the house, but when no answer comes, he kicks it in and steps inside.

רשת Caeilie nods and says, 'I hope that I will be able to see them soon. I already miss them too much to bear. My wife is expecting a third in a few months, I just want to be with her all the time.'

רשת Isondil walks over to one of the houses and looks through the window

רשת Shandor casually walks about.

רשת Cyria walks over to Varadrion and closely follows behind him

רשת Ariea smiles, 'Where do they live?'

רשת Caeilie says, 'Viirnial.'

רשת Varadrion looks inside the house and says to Cyria "Weird"

רשת Ariea says, 'I'm sure we could convince Shandor and Faelnon to make a brief visit there.'

רשת Shandor looks about a marketplace.

רשת Isondil looks around at the mention of Viirnial

רשת Shandor notes some rotten fruit and wonders were they selling it rotten to begin with.

רשת Kalypse wonders what happened to this sad looking place

רשת Caeilie says, 'That would be a blessing.'

רשת Cyria looks to Varadrion, "This is just a little too strange"

רשת Varadrion walks out of the house and approaches Shandor

רשת Isondil moves around the house and enters through a gap which probably a door once stood

רשת Tengu makes a few strides, brows knit in concentration

רשת Varadrion turns to Cyria and says "I agree"

רשת Calaryn says 'Wonder what happened…'

רשת Shandor walks over to the others, 'I have no idea. I've never heard of all the Orcs suddenly leaving...'

רשת Ariea asks, 'How did you join the Wise Elves?'

רשת Kalypse asks Shandor 'How do you know it was orcs?'

רשת Caeilie says, 'My father said I was born for it. I started training for it when I was six.'

רשת Isondil looks around at a smashed table and thinks to himself

רשת Shandor says, 'Ograkk is the Orc city of iron.'

רשת Ariea say, 'Six? Isn't that a bit young?'

רשת Varadrion looks at Shandor and shudders

רשת Cyria says, "And if they all left, it was in a hurry, looks like they didn't bother to take much, if anything"

רשת Caeilie says, 'Not at all, most Wise Elves have been training since that age.'

רשת Shandor says, 'You can bet that they took every weapon they could hold though.’

רשת Kalypse laughs at herself 'Oh, you meant the orcs leaving here... I must be floating..'

רשת Isondil turns around and walks out of the house

רשת Shandor smiles at Kalypse.

רשת Tengu says, "No traces of fight, however."

רשת Ariea says, 'What exactly do you do that requires you starting at six? I thought it was just some ceremonies.'

רשת Shandor nods

רשת Shandor says, 'The appear to have left willingly.'

רשת Caeilie smiles, 'No, there is quite a bit more. We may be called upon to command towns, or cities, or to help run them. We also have to prepare ourselves spiritually for it, becoming a Wise Elf is not really about wisdom, the wisdom is a gift after you do join. We believe that when we are initiated our souls briefly join with those of the gods; we need to prepare for this for years.'

רשת Varadrion looks around at the area and says aloud "This is the only way anyone would ever get me inside this city"

רשת Shandor says, 'The prospect of the end of the world? Or trickery?'

רשת Ariea nods.

רשת Varadrion says ‘Or both’

רשת Isondil looks around and wonders why all the orcs left

רשת Varadrion walks up to Shandor and asks "So what do we do now that we're here?"

רשת Ariea goes into the city to have a look around.

רשת Tengu says, "It would've been hard to persuade orcs of our good intentions anyway..."

רשת Caeilie follows Ariea.

רשת Shandor says, 'Well, Thor said the Orcs have been quiet, and they turn out completely gone. I think we need to know where and why.'

רשת Kalypse asks 'What exactly are we doing here anyway? This place doesn't make me feel so good..'

רשת Cyria nods

רשת Varadrion asks "I wasn't there, but wasn't Borwin somewhat the same?"

רשת Shandor says, 'Some dwarves had left, but there were still lots in the city.'

רשת Isondil moves over to where he hears part of the group talking

רשת Calaryn says 'no idea'

רשת Varadrion looks around and curses in elven

רשת Kalypse says 'Maybe they fled fearing for something..'

רשת Tengu looks at mine entrance and mutters, "Remembers me something..."

רשת Cyria says, "That doesn't sound like something an orc would do"

רשת Shandor says, 'Hmm, possibly, well, we know that they left for a good reason.'

רשת Varadrion says "Then maybe we should get moving and find out what this good reason is"

<@Narrator> The clouds open and it begins to rain heavily. But it does not rain water, it rains a dark red liquid.

רשת Shandor puts his hand out and catches some of the rain, he looks at it before tasting a drop. He reports quite calmly, 'It's blood.' He adds, 'And I don't think it is animal.'

רשת Kalypse says 'Yuck'

רשת Ariea looks at her arms being stained by the blood falling from the sky, she looks quite disturbed as she dashes for shelter.

רשת Tengu says, "And the skies rain blood... Could that herald any good?"

רשת Cyria hurries into the shelter of one of the home

רשת Shandor looks up at the sky before following Ariea to a porch to hide in.

רשת Faelnon ducks into a shop.

רשת Caeilie breaks into a small house.

רשת Calaryn runs for cover

רשת Varadrion pulls his cloak over his head and looks up at the sky

רשת Cyria looks about and notices that the group has scattered

רשת Varadrion runs and joins Faelnon in the shop

רשת Kalypse says 'Oh people, this won't hurt anyone.. it's just nauseous..'

רשת Tengu cowers his mouth and nostrils, caring not to breath or swallow any drop of blood

רשת Shandor calls to Kalypse, 'And sticky, very sticky.'

רשת Shandor says, 'When it dries...'

רשת Thurin runs up to Shandor and says ' Sorry I’m late! I've been tracking you for days. How is the situation?"

רשת Kalypse says 'It doesn't matter now anyway does it? I am all soaked already.. I'll just need a good bath'

רשת Tengu hurries to the shelter and tries to wipe the blood off his face.

רשת Shandor looks at Thurin, 'Um, it's bad, please note the blood-rain. And you are?'

רשת Varadrion sees the figure enter the porch Shandor is on, and takes one last look at Faelnon before running over there

רשת Calaryn looks at the group 'oh my, my dress is ruined'

רשת Shandor looks at Calaryn, 'Yes, that's obviously the worst thing to come from this...'

רשת Kalypse turns to Calaryn 'Don't even mention it..'

רשת Isondil run's for shelter with the group

רשת Faelnon calls to Shandor, 'We need to get out of this.'

רשת Shandor nods, 'What about that palace? It looks abandoned, like everything else, and would be big enough for all of us.'

רשת Thurin looks towards the sky. 'Mmm...yes the blood. It’s not a good sign! I am Thurin, a ranger from the North. A old woman in my village said she saw signs that a group of people needed my assistance’

רשת Varadrion says sarcastically "There's an idea no one thought of"

רשת Shandor nods to Thurin, 'Well, we welcome any assistance.'

רשת Cyria thinks to herself for a minute

רשת Calaryn eyes the newcomer

רשת Kalypse waves to the newcomer

רשת Faelnon nods to Shandor, 'Okay, let's get to the palace...'

רשת Varadrion covers his head with his hood again in preparation of going to the palace

רשת Tengu bows, "A pleasure to meet you, Thurin. I am Tengu."

רשת Shandor looks at the calm, and vain, nature of some of the group and he wonders whether they realise that blood falling from the sky might just be a bad sign.

רשת Kalypse approaches Thurin 'You came in a very odd situation my friend, my name is Kalypse'

רשת Isondil looks at the newcomer closely

רשת Calaryn looks at Thurin 'I am Calaryn'

רשת Varadrion looks at Shandor and motions toward the palace

רשת Ariea says, 'What is that blood?'

רשת Isondil nods to Thurin and says 'I am Isondil'

רשת Thurin glances at the rest of the group and says "I know that you might find it hard to belive me. But you have my word that I don’t have any hidden agenda or wish you any harm'

רשת Shandor remembers the taste, 'I think it was a, um, mixture... not of animal kind anyway.'

רשת Ariea squeaks, 'You mean human and elves?'

רשת Shandor nods, 'Possibly, or Orcs...'

רשת Cyria sits on the ground leaning against a house and watches a pool of blood gather before her

רשת Varadrion sighs "Oh wonderful"

רשת Shandor nods to Thurin, 'Good to hear..'

רשת Shandor calls to the group, 'Okay, let's get out of this 'rain', shall we?'

רשת Isondil says 'Brilliant that's encouraging'

רשת Isondil nods

רשת Shandor leaves his shelter and makes his way, at a quick walk, towards the palace.

רשת Varadrion follows Shandor at the same pace

רשת Caeilie hobbles from his house (due to his injuries when the dragon destroyed Borwin) and follows Shandor.

רשת Ariea helps Caeilie along.

רשת Calaryn says, ‘Well guess the dress cant be more ruined.’

רשת Isondil places the hood of his cloak over his head and then follows Varadrion

רשת Cyria looks at the pool of blood one last time and turns away before following the others

רשת Faelnon leaves his shop and follows after the others.

רשת Varadrion keeps his head down and follows best he can

רשת Thurin turns to Shandor 'So what is our plan?'

רשת Shandor says, 'We get to the palace, out of the rain, then try to work out why the Orcs of this city decided it would be a good time to go on a vacation.'

רשת Kalypse smiles at Thurin 'You seem sincere, my friend, but if you betray the group I will make you choke with a cherry on your throat!'

רשת Isondil bows his head as best he can while still keeping view of Varadrion in front

רשת Thurin stands still for a while and look on examine the terrain and follows the other

רשת Calaryn follows the group

רשת Varadrion gets tired of walking and breaks into a jog heading for the palace

רשת Shandor chuckles and smiles at Kalypse before looking at Faelnon.

רשת Faelnon rubs his throat, smiling.

רשת Ariea grins.

רשת Isondil grins at Kalypse

רשת Calaryn mutters 'how fun'

רשת Isondil breaks into a run after Varadrion

רשת Calaryn smiles at Kalypse

<@Narrator> The palace is constructed from a lighter rock than most of the other buildings. And the group, head up to the entrance while the 'train waits at the gates to the city. The entrance is two simple oak doors.

רשת Thurin looks at the palace wall and notice trace of possible weapon damage.

רשת Varadrion runs up to the two doors and pushes them open

רשת Shandor dashes up to the doors and goes on through.

<@Narrator> Inside the group are met by a two rows of marble pillars, leading to a wide set of stairs, which branch of at the end. To the left and right of the pillars are a series of doors. The area is quite dark, there is a glass dome above, but the sky is not permitting much light, and the dome has been covered in the blood.

רשת Isondil follows Shandor

רשת Varadrion looks up at the dome and says "My god.. this couldn't get much better could it?"

רשת Cyria walks up through the doors and glances around

רשת Shandor removes some of the glowing crystals he managed to acquire before Thor's mine was destroyed. He places them in a small bowl and lets it illuminate the area.

רשת Shandor says, 'At least the designer had good taste, for an orc.'

רשת Varadrion stands and looks around

רשת Tengu enters the doors and listens, trying to hear anything except the echo of his own steps.

רשת Varadrion asks "So where to now?"

רשת Thurin groans 'Call it a hunch, but I don’t like the vibes of this place'

רשת Kalypse agrees 'Me neither..'

רשת Isondil nods in agreement

רשת Faelnon approaches one of the doors and pokes it open, it opens to a small library. He says, 'I think we should explore the area, there might be a clue as to why everyone left.'

רשת Thurin ' What happened with those who lived here?'

רשת Varadrion says It could just be me, but the blood-covered dome probably isn't helping"

רשת Shandor says, 'I think we need to find out...'

רשת Cyria wipes some blood from her face but ends up smudging it

רשת Tengu looks around, "Orcs? Hm..."

רשת Kalypse makes a weird face as she stares at Cyria

רשת Varadrion opens a door, it leads to an elegant dining room with a polished beach table and chairs. He thinks it is quite odd for an orc to have such a thing, he shrugs then says, ‘I’ll take this room.’

רשת Shandor goes through a door to find it leads to a garden of spices, with a glass roof, now covered in blood. He approaches the spices and tastes a few of them, 'Hmm,' he states thoughtfully, 'Very nice. I didn't know the orcs had such good taste.'

רשת Shandor begins to take the spices that would be most useful and puts them in his pack.

רשת Varadrion opens a door at the opposite end of the dining room, it leads to a kitchen filled with pots, pans, cookers and spices.

רשת Caeilie becomes interested in the pillars. He uses a single small crystal and presses it next to the pillar, it lights up some carvings and writings.

רשת Calaryn looks around 'how lovely'

רשת Varadrion walks around in the kitchen and looks for some food

רשת Varadrion finds a bit of bread and begins eating it while looking around the kitchen

רשת Calaryn shrugs

<@Narrator> There is a sudden thunder of noise from the kitchen and a series of bangs, thuds and other noises.

רשת Faelnon emerges from the library carrying a small book, and is rather curious as to what is going on.

רשת Kalypse shouts 'Ahhh'

רשת Faelnon crosses the dining room and enters the kitchen.

רשת Isondil looks around and moves towards the kitchen

רשת Varadrion is lying on the ground, pots and pans have been scattered everywhere. He groans weakly.

רשת Cyria turns to the noise and walks to the kitchen

רשת Faelnon kneels down next to Varadrion, 'Are you alright?'

רשת Kalypse walks to the kitchen to see what happened

רשת Varadrion nods

רשת Tengu swiftly turns around. The blood on his robe already started to dry and crackles from sudden movement.

רשת Faelnon notices the mess, 'Really Varadrion, be more careful, we can't have you slipping and falling all the time.’

רשת Varadrion nods slowly

רשת Faelnon shakes his head and leaves, returning to the main hall.

רשת Isondil enters the kitchen, looks at Vardrion and asks him ' Are you alright?'

רשת Varadrion nods again

רשת Tengu strides to the kitchen and looks for a few seconds, making sure there's no danger.

רשת Kalypse leaves the kitchen after seeing what happened feeling that the place is getting too crowded

רשת Varadrion gets back on his feet and looks around

רשת Tengu steps aside from the entrance, letting other people leave.

רשת Isondil looks at Varadrion before turning and walking out of the kitchen

רשת Tengu gives the last glance to the kitchen, shrugs and leaves.

רשת Shandor turns to Calaryn, 'We don't really know they did die. I'm not sure what that blood is, it tastes slightly like elven, and human.' He quickly states, 'Not that I would know...'

רשת Varadrion picks up his bread off the floor and continues to eat

רשת Tengu says, "Never tasted it. Hope never will I."

רשת Thurin looks sharply towards the ceiling and shouts 'There in the corner! There is something moving'

רשת Calaryn follows Kalypse

רשת Varadrion looks inside cabinets for more food

רשת Ariea looks up at the ceiling, but doesn't see anything.

רשת Ariea says, 'Where is it?'

רשת Calaryn looks at Thurin 'where?'

רשת Thurin says, ' I thought I saw something....'

רשת Thurin says, 'I saw something dark with glowing eyes...'

רשת Ariea shrugs.

רשת Cyria says, "Maybe there is a leak and some blood was dripping"

רשת Ariea says, 'It isn't there now.' She adds, 'Good point Cyria.'

רשת Isondil looks at Thurin with a raised brow

רשת Thurin says, 'No this was something that was alive'

רשת Tengu says, "Rats maybe. There's plenty for them to feast upon."

רשת Calaryn nods

רשת Kalypse says 'Nah.. if the eyes were glowing its more likely to be a cat or a dog with the light reflex on their eyes'

רשת Varadrion sits on a cabinet and looks around

רשת Thurin shakes his head and says ' No this wasn’t a rat. This was something much larger...and I sensed evil’

רשת Calaryn says 'maybe a dog or a cat as Kalypse said'

רשת Ariea grins, 'I wonder what Shandor was doing there...'

רשת Kalypse chuckles 'Cats are evil!'

רשת Tengu says, "I did sense no good since we entered Ograkk."

רשת Thurin ' Dogs and cats don’t climb vertically on walls and ceilings'

רשת Caeilie runs his hand along one of the pillars, 'Hmm...'

רשת Kalypse grins 'Then you saw a lizard'

רשת Kalypse asks 'Where did you see such thing?"

רשת Ariea grins at Kalypse, before saying, 'Don't worry about it, we are perfectly able to deal with anything.' She adds, 'Except blood-rain, let's avoid that from now on.'

רשת Thurin draws his hand in his beard ' No...it was not a lizard. I've seen plenty of animals as a ranger in the woods up north. This was not something similar to anything I’ve seen before'

רשת Kalypse grins nodding at Ariea

רשת Ariea shrugs again.

רשת Caeilie finally says, 'I wouldn't worry about it, it was probably a pet of the masters.'

רשת Kalypse shouts trying to cheer the mood 'Then you saw a spirit!'

רשת Calaryn looks at Thurin with big eyes

רשת Thurin says 'I have to leave you for now. I have to finish another task that has been given to me...'

רשת Thurin leaves the room quietly

רשת Ariea nods.

רשת Kalypse waves to Thurin

רשת Shandor emerges from the garden, laden with herbs and spices. He says, 'Well, I don't think there is much up here, how about we all go check upstairs?'

רשת Isondil says 'Goodbye Thurin'

רשת Faelnon nods, book still in hand, 'This is interesting, it is a journal of the person who lived here, apparently, he was leading the orc people. Oh, and he did have many pets.'

רשת Tengu mutters, "It must be more important than saving the world."

רשת Cyria says, "Goodbye, friend"

רשת Shandor nods, 'Good bye, Thurin.'

רשת Tengu nods farewell.

רשת Calaryn nods farewell

רשת Tengu says, "What is upstairs?"

רשת Shandor says, 'More rooms, and possibly an answer or two.'

רשת Shandor says, 'If we could head up.'

רשת Shandor heads up the stairs talking, 'Faelnon, I've been meaning to talk to you. Something very strange is happening. For a few Dwarven clans to go missing from Borwin is not particularly odd. But for all the orcs in Ograkk to spontaneously decide to leave? That is highly implausible. Also, do you not remember Tildruin? When we first took on the mother-Dragon. Where were the orcs?'

רשת Faelnon says, 'As I recall, they were locked in a political battle.'

רשת Shandor says, 'Exactly. The Orcs were the one of the few major races who haven't been 'blessed' with a new 'great' leader recently. But what if it started before that? So far the leaders of Tildruin, the Elves and the humans in Loldar (Esal informs me) have suddenly decided to entrust their lives to new leaders. The Dwarves, Thor tells me, were uniting under the banner of one dwarf.'

רשת Faelnon says, 'I'm not sure what you are getting at...'

רשת Shandor says, 'The Dragon was already breaking free of its prison when we learnt that the Orcs were changing leaders, what if, I don't know, some how it influenced the proceedings.'

רשת Faelnon says, 'If you are right, I'm afraid there is very little we can do.'

רשת Shandor adds, 'And remember, Dramicus told us that a delegation of his people had been kidnapped or killed by Orcs...'

רשת Faelnon shakes his head, 'I am afraid, Shandor, that for once I have absolutely no idea what is going on, or what to do. All of these events must be linked, it is true, but I don't know how.'

רשת Caeilie calls from behind a pillar, 'I'm going to stay here for a bit, there are interesting writings that I will try to translate.'

רשת Shandor nods and heads up the left branch of stairs.

רשת Varadrion ducks back into the dining room very discreetly, and unseen by anyone, to have another look around.

רשת Tengu follows upstairs, listening to conversation.

רשת Shandor continues along saying, 'We should probably check all of these rooms, most of them are probably bedrooms, but they might conceal something.

רשת Calaryn slows down and stops for a moment, sitting down on one of the branches of the stairs, she is out of sight of the group and Caeilie. She looks sadly at the dome covered in blood.

רשת Caeilie puts the crystal away and begins humming a small tune as he makes notes about the inscriptions. Everything around him is now in shadow, the light coming through the dome has been completely blocked off.

רשת Shandor opens a door to one of the rooms.

רשת Cyria sits down on the stairs near Caeilie

רשת Shandor looks about, going through a desk.

רשת Isondil moves over to the stairs

רשת Ariea walks along the corridor, uninterested by the rooms.

רשת Varadrion looks at the tables and chairs in the dining room, and looks at the decorations on the walls

רשת Tengu slowly opens another door and looks around, bathed in reddish semi-darkness.

רשת Faelnon enters one of the rooms, but is more interested in reading the journal.

רשת Isondil sits down on the stairs next to Cyria

רשת Cyria looks at Caeilie, bored by the lack of attention she got and decides to go upstairs

רשת Caeilie finishes the note and removes the crystal once more to take a look at more of the inscriptions.

רשת Varadrion moves to a painting on the wall and examines it

רשת Cyria trudges around one of the upstairs rooms looking for anything of importance

רשת Isondil follows Cyria upstairs

רשת Shandor finds a couple of documents and flips through them.

רשת Ariea spots Kalypse, 'How on earth did you go through that rain calmly? It's disturbing.'

רשת Ariea smiles and adds, 'The rain, not you.'

רשת Isondil enters the room at the top of the stairs and looks around it slowly

רשת Kalypse turns to Ariea 'Why do you say that?'

רשת Tengu walks into the room and puts his staff in the corner, then slowly walks to the table.

רשת Ariea says, 'It was blood!'

רשת Ariea says, 'It might've been elven blood, I think that's pretty scary and strange.'

רשת Isondil sees a small bookcase and goes over to examine them

רשת Kalypse shrugs 'So? Yeah it is strange, but it was happening.. could be the work of a mage, I don't know.. I would be more scared if we found all the orcs slaughtered and hung up on sticks'

רשת Isondil loses interest in the books as the are all written in orc and leaves the room

רשת Tengu touches the room furniture, trying to recollect what he knew of orcs.

רשת Ariea nods, 'That's true, I guess.'

רשת Shandor looks at a very neatly written paragraph on a piece of parchment, 'An orc wrote this?' He shrugs and sets it down.

רשת Kalypse says 'I don't think it was elven blood.. if that rain was made of real blood it would have stopped by now or all the races in the world would be dead'

רשת Isondil walks down the corridor barely glancing in the rooms as he passes them

רשת Ariea nods slowly, 'Yeah, it might've been created by magic...'

רשת Ariea shudders slightly, 'It still disturbed me more than any dragon has.'

רשת Kalypse smiles 'Probably because dragons are real..'

רשת Ariea nods.

רשת Calaryn looks over the banister towards Caeilie, vaguely interested in what he is doing. She can see him, lit up slightly green because of the crystal.

רשת Kalypse says 'besides.. if it is a bad sign like we might think, I prefer to believe that the sign is made for us to be prepared and deal the problem more accurately.'

רשת Caeilie continues humming the tune. He stops as he runs his finger along a small picture. His mouth opens slightly, he mutters, 'I should tell the others about this.'

<@Narrator> Before Caeilie can move an arm slips out from the shadows behind him. It clamps a cold hand over his mouth as another arm shoots out, its hand holds a short, curved blade.

רשת Caeilie looks horror struck, but cannot make a sound.

<@Narrator> The blade runs over Caeilie's throat, and he slumps to the floor. The crystal he was holding falls with him and briefly illuminates the murderer, who disappears back into the shadows.

רשת Calaryn cannot quite form words, instead she lets out a brief scream.

רשת Shandor looks up as he hears the scream. He dashes out of the room he was checking. 'Ariea?'

רשת Ariea says, 'I'm fine, but that came from back the way we came.'

<@Narrator> Another scream, louder, resonates throughout the building.

רשת Calaryn looks around in panic

רשת Tengu startles then rushes out of the room, grabbing his staff while running

רשת Shandor finds Calaryn on the stairs, 'Are you okay?'

רשת Calaryn shakes bit nods a little

רשת Faelnon looks towards the illuminated form of Caeilie horrified. He dashes down to him.

רשת Cyria hurries down the hallway toward the stairs

רשת Isondil turns around and runs towards the sound of the noise

רשת Caeilie looks pleadingly at Faelnon, while he is desperately trying to breath, he manages to say, 'Dragons. Tildruin explains all...' His voice trails off as his eyes loose focus.

רשת Tengu runs down the stairs ready to face any danger

רשת Ariea weeps softly, leaning against a banister.

רשת Shandor asks Calaryn, 'What happened?'

רשת Calaryn states weakly, 'Caeilie was standing there... then someone, came out... and...' She can't continue.

רשת Shandor asks, 'Who was it?'

רשת Kalypse walks to the stairs

רשת Calaryn can barely say the name, 'V-Varadrion.'

רשת Ariea looks at Calaryn, surprised, but still weeping.

רשת Kalypse asks 'What?!'

רשת Shandor storms down the stairs, he kicks the door to the library, nothing there. He crosses to the dining room door and kicks it open.

<@Narrator> Varadrion is lying, still, on the floor, just in front of the table.

רשת Shandor removes his sword from his sheath.

רשת Thor grabs Shandor's wrist before he can put his sword through Varadrion's chest.

רשת Shandor says, 'Let go Thor.'

רשת Thor says, ''ow do we know 'e did do it?'

רשת Shandor says, 'Are you saying Calaryn is lying?'

רשת Thor says, 'No, but I think it's perfectly possible to mix somethin' up.'

רשת Tengu walks towards Caelie, slightly touches the glowing crystal with his staff.

רשת Shandor prods Varadrion with the sword.

רשת Varadrion groans, ‘What’s going on?’

רשת Shandor says, 'You killed Caeilie, you should at least have the decency to remember it.'

רשת Varadrion looks, wide-eyed at Shandor, ‘I did what?!’

רשת Shandor growls, 'You heard me.'

רשת Shandor lifts Varadrion to his feet violently.

רשת Calaryn gets up on her legs

רשת Shandor states, 'I need one reason why I shouldn't gut you, and I need it now.'

רשת Varadrion says quickly "How could I have done it.. I don't even remember what happened before I was on the floor"

רשת Shandor looks at Varadrion, 'Very convenient.'

רשת Shandor says, 'Of course, you, the assassin, couldn't possibly lie, now could you?'

רשת Isondil walks down the stairs towards the group

רשת Varadrion says "Why in Tarkna would I kill someone who was helping us?"

רשת Shandor says, 'You are an assassin, you probably got a better offer...'

רשת Isondil walks over and sees Caelie and asks ' what happened?'

רשת Varadrion says "Money has never been a factor, and you know that about me"

רשת Cyria says, "Shandor please, I heard about how you were brainwashed for a little while, and lately with all the weird things people have been doing to themselves..."

רשת Shandor grits his teeth, 'He is a murderer, Calaryn saw him heartlessly murder Caeilie.'

רשת Isondil listens to the conversation and thinks slowly and then looks at Varadrion

רשת Shandor says, 'I did not murder anyone.'

רשת Varadrion pipes up "Neither did I!"

רשת Shandor says, 'Calaryn saw you!'

רשת Varadrion says "Then she’s lying!"

רשת Cyria shouts at Shandor, "From what I hear, you almost killed everyone!"

רשת Faelnon begins praying over Caeilie's body.

רשת Isondil says 'But did Calaryn actually see him kill Caeilie? Or just see him over the body?'

רשת Shandor says to Varadrion ,'You could as easily lie.'

רשת Varadrion asks "And that makes me a killer?"

רשת Shandor turns to Cyria, 'Then you have been misinformed.'

רשת Shandor turns to Isondil, 'If he went over Caeilie's body, why didn't he do something? Or did he decided to go into the dining hall and spontaneously collapse?'

רשת Thor can't believe that he might actually be the voice of reason for once, but he says, 'I think we all need te calm down a bit.'

רשת Varadrion says sarcastically "Because spontaneously collapsing is something I do all the time."

רשת Isondil says 'Look I trust Varadrion and remember our false accusations against Echnaton.'

רשת Tengu says, "If we want to know who, we need to know why. Why Caelie, and why right now?"

רשת Cyria shouts, "Until your thick head is broken, I don't feel like dealing with you"

רשת Cyria storms outside

רשת Shandor turns to Tengu, 'Caeilie was working on those pillars, maybe he was getting close to something, something Varadrion didn't want us to know about.'

רשת Varadrion says "You saw me... I don't remember a bloody thing until you poked me"

רשת Shandor says, 'Pretence.'

רשת Varadrion says "In case you haven't noticed in the last few years" and finishes loudly "I'm on your side!"

רשת Ariea goes after Cyria.

רשת Isondil says 'Also Varadrion collapsed earlier maybe it was due to him eating that bread so he probably didn't do that to cover his tracks'

רשת Tengu say, "Maybe let us have a look at that pillars then?"

רשת Shandor says, 'Everything can change, Varadrion. And how do I know you were really on our side?'

רשת Calaryn walks into the room and points at Varadrion 'MURDERER!'

רשת Cyria leans against the outside wall, watching blood slowly trickle down into a small puddle

רשת Faelnon turns to Tengu, 'I've just tried, I can't make a lot of sense out of this, I need more time.'

רשת Varadrion says "If I wanted the world to end I would have helped it do so before!"

רשת Ariea nears Cyria, 'Are you okay?'

רשת Calaryn screams 'MURDERER!'

רשת Varadrion looks coldly at Calaryn but says nothing to her

רשת Shandor says, 'You probably don't want the world to end, just to have a nice pocket full of gold. Or whatever blood-money you were given.'

רשת Kalypse tries to calm Calaryn down

רשת Varadrion says "What I have on me are all my possessions, check me for gold if you like"

רשת Cyria says, "Can you get it through your husbands thick head that this has happened before in a way? I don't feel like dealing with him while he is like this"

רשת Tengu says, "It did make sense for at least two people. One is dead... The second is murderer, I suppose."

רשת Calaryn says ‘h-h-h-he killed him’

רשת Isondil turns on Calaryn and says coldly ' Look Calaryn how do we know your not lying? Maybe you still haven't forgiven Varadrion for when you had that argument on the mountain'

רשת Ariea says, 'Cyria, you have to understand, Shandor is being led by rage, a friend has just been killed..'

רשת Cyria says, "People we have know have been betrayed and betrayed others but this one incident sends them into a frenzy"

רשת Ariea says, 'He doesn't see this in the same light, to him Shandor's evil persona was a completely different entity.'

רשת Tengu says, "Okay, lets listen to Varadrion's and Cyria's... versions. But in detail, please. Who's first?"

רשת Calaryn looks at Isondil while she's shaking 'he did it! I saw it with my own eyes'

רשת Varadrion says "I don't have a version, what part of 'I don't remember anything but waking up on the floor' don't you all get?"

רשת Shandor says, 'The many variables, such as, you were lying.'

רשת Shandor says, 'In which case, you are lying now, and you are a murderer.'

רשת Varadrion says "She's lying! I don't kill innocent people!"

רשת Isondil says 'And if you saw him do it why didn't you confront him straight away?'

רשת Tengu makes a few steps toward Varadrion, "Nothing? Not even a slightest bit?"

רשת Varadrion looks at Tengu and says "Nothing!"

רשת Shandor turns to Isondil, 'She was shocked by the murder and let out a scream, what did you expect her to do?'

רשת Calaryn stands in front of everyone shaking

רשת Faelnon picks up the small book with Caeilie's notes, 'I am sorry dear friend, I can only hope that these notes will make your death not in vain.'

רשת Isondil says 'but if Varadrion did kill Caeilie he being an assassin would have known Calaryn was in the room and wouldn't have done it yet'

רשת Shandor says, 'What if he didn't see her?'

רשת Varadrion rolls his eyes

רשת Varadrion says "There are no ifs, I didn't do it!"

רשת Isondil says 'But if your were going to kill someone you'd make sure before you did no one was there to see you'

רשת Faelnon marches in the room and slams the book shut, 'That is enough!'

רשת Faelnon says, 'You will all be quiet, now.' He slams the book on the table, 'And I mean now.'

רשת Cyria hears the commotion inside and enters

רשת Faelnon says, 'A friend has been killed, you should not be squabbling amongst yourselves.'

רשת Tengu saunters around Varadrion, "I afraid you may be lying. That you are not, I afraid most. What if others will go that... 'unconscious'?"

רשת Faelnon says, 'Varadrion,' he points to one end of the table, 'Sit down.'

רשת Faelnon turns to the others, 'Take seats.'

רשת Isondil takes a seat and looks at Calaryn darkly

רשת Calaryn mumbles 'murderer'

רשת Tengu stops, "And by the way, what about the bodies?"

רשת Varadrion looks at Shandor and says "As soon as he lets go of me I'll have a seat"

רשת Shandor lets Varadrion go.

רשת Cyria leans against the wall, preferring not to sit

רשת Varadrion walks by Calaryn without a sound and sits at the end of the table

רשת Shandor pulls a chair out to sit down on. The movement causes a dagger to un-wedge itself from the chair's arm and the table. It clatters to the ground.

רשת Shandor stares at the bloodied dagger and picks it up.

רשת Isondil stands up and looks at the dagger

רשת Shandor says, 'Well looky, the murder weapon just happens to be in the same room as you.'

רשת Tengu sits with face scrupulously blank.

רשת Varadrion rolls his eyes

רשת Calaryn stands up 'murderer!' and points at Varadrion

רשת Varadrion says "Someone PLEASE shut her up"

רשת Shandor barks at Varadrion, 'Shut your mouth.'

רשת Calaryn says 'oh maybe you can kill me as well'

רשת Isondil rolls his eyes and says 'Don't be so melodramatic'

רשת Calaryn says 'like you already have done with one of us!'

רשת Varadrion looks at Calaryn and says "What are you trying to do? Really? Shut up"

רשת Cyria sighs and yells "EVERYONE SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO FAELNON!!"

רשת Faelnon rubs the side of his head with two fingers.

רשת Faelnon says, 'Ah, lovely, silence. I didn't have to resort to gags... but I will. Now, I want a moments silence for Caeilie, a friend, who was unjustly taken from this world.'

רשת Calaryn sits down and mumbles 'better watch your backs'

רשת Varadrion bows his head

רשת Shandor sits quietly, eyes closed.

רשת Varadrion looks quickly into his cloak for an inventory of his daggers

רשת Ariea remembers the picture of Caeilie's family and sobs.

רשת Isondil looks at Calaryn and refrains from laughing out loud at her comment

רשת Tengu lowers his head and shuts his eyes.

רשת Varadrion raises an eyebrow, but quickly shuts his cloak and bows his head

רשת Faelnon says, 'Gods, please protect this kind spirit at it makes its final journey.'

רשת Faelnon bows his head for a few moments.

רשת Isondil turns to Ariea and says 'Maybe when you send a message to my wife you could tell her to pass on the news about Caeilie'

רשת Ariea shakes her head, 'I'll tell them in person.'

רשת Isondil nods

רשת Faelnon says, 'Now, I want calm tempers from now on or I'll be locking you in separate rooms of this place. Understood?'

רשת Varadrion nods

רשת Tengu says, "Are you sure it's safe here?"

רשת Ariea says, 'I didn't see anything outside...'

רשת Shandor says, 'I haven't seen anything in here.'

רשת Faelnon says, 'Thor, I need your help.'

רשת Faelnon says, 'Help me take the weapons of everyone here, pile them in the corner.'

רשת Thor nods.

רשת Shandor says, 'Why are you taking the weapons of us all? We didn't do anything, only Varadrion did!'

רשת Faelnon says, 'Shandor, I'm asking you nicely, hand over your weapons, or I will take them.'

רשת Varadrion says "I didn't do anything!"

רשת Shandor grits his teeth before passing over his sword and bow.

רשת Thor says, 'Everyone, give me ye weapons.'

רשת Varadrion pulls his long sword out of his cloak and hands it over

רשת Isondil says 'I don't think that's necessary no one has been proved a killer'

רשת Faelnon goes over to Isondil, 'Hand them over.'

רשת Varadrion says "There."

רשת Faelnon says, 'Someone was killed, a blade did it, thus, we are taking the weapons.'

רשת Isondil hands over his bow, quiver and rapier

רשת Thor takes Varadrion's sword. 'Varadrion, don't ye usually 'ave daggers?'

רשת Tengu shrugs, looks at his staff, and hands the "weapon" to Thor.

רשת Shandor turns to Varadrion interested.

רשת Calaryn mutter 'he surely has got load of hidden knives'

רשת Faelnon , too, looks at Varadrion.

רשת Cyria asks, "You need my gloves? They can't cut stuff..."

רשת Varadrion hands over sheathes

רשת Thor says, 'Eh, Varadrion, ye 'ave six sheathes, an' five daggers. Wanna explain?'

רשת Shandor says, 'What's to explain, I bet you that dagger I found fits in the sheath nicely.'

רשת Shandor reaches for his sword from Faelnon.

רשת Faelnon steps out of reach from Shandor and moves to Varadrion quickly, 'No-one move.'

רשת Cyria shrugs and keeps her gloves

רשת Faelnon takes the dagger that Shandor found from the weapons he took from Shandor. He slides it gracefully into the sheath.

רשת Shandor barks, 'There! That proves it!'

רשת Faelnon looks at Varadrion.

רשת Isondil shakes his head and says 'Someone could have knocked Varadrion out and stolen the dagger'

רשת Varadrion says "I was unconscious in the next room, wouldn't be very hard for someone to take it off me and use it"

רשת Shandor says, 'But no-one else was here! Everyone was upstairs, Calaryn was on the stairs, if she had moved Caeilie would've seen her.'

רשת Calaryn says 'what a pretty excuse'

רשת Faelnon says, 'Remain calm...'

רשת Tengu say, "Too unprofessional for assassin..."

רשת Isondil says 'But how do we know we're alone'

רשת Shandor says, 'I've never rated his skills anyway...'

רשת Cyria mutters, "Has everyone forgotten about the weird high pitch sound that seems to control people?"

רשת Tengu says, "I've heard none."

רשת Shandor turns to Cyria, 'And did we hear this sound?'

רשת Calaryn says ‘What sound??’

רשת Isondil says 'And just because you didn't hear anyone doesn't mean they weren't here'

רשת Shandor turns to Calaryn, 'Esal told us that there was a sound that could control people, but we haven't heard it here.'

רשת Shandor says, 'We would've heard it.'

רשת Shandor says, 'It isn't like creeping along, it's a window shatteringly high sound.'

רשת Varadrion taps Faelnon on the back

רשת Faelnon says to Thor, 'There is something odd about this palace. It doesn't seem very... Orc like. I need you to keep control of these people, I'm going to try and translate the pillars, they might give a hint or two.'

רשת Faelnon turns to VAradrion, 'Yes?'

רשת Thor nods to Faelnon.

רשת Varadrion says quietly to only Faelnon "You might as well move, if they're going to come get me, I don't want you to get hurt in the process"

רשת Faelnon smiles grimly, 'I have ever intention of moving, and am doing so now.'

רשת Faelnon heads out of the door to take a look at the pillars.

רשת Thor steps in front of Varadrion waving a double-bladed axe, 'I would'a try anythin'.'

רשת Calaryn keeps a close eye on Varadrion

רשת Tengu says to Faelnon, "Be careful!"

רשת Varadrion raises his head, displaying his neck and says "If you think its what’s right, do it"

רשת Isondil throw's a dark look at Thor

רשת Shandor states, 'I would, but I don't have a weapon.'

רשת Thor says, 'I was talkin' to them ye moron.'

רשת Thor says, 'I was asked to... bah, protect ye, an' I guess I 'ave te.'

רשת Varadrion says to Shandor "Then take one of mine if you really want, because if you do want to, you'll just do it when you get yours back"

רשת Faelnon looks up from the pillar, 'I've got it! Well, I think so.'

רשת Shandor looks towards Faelnon and moves to where he is.

רשת Varadrion lowers his head

רשת Ariea heads over to Faelnon.

רשת Isondil stands up and follows Shandor

רשת Faelnon says, 'Come here, all.'

רשת Tengu slowly stands from his place and follows.

רשת Thor sticks beside Varadrion as he goes to Faelnon.

רשת Faelnon begins, 'This-' he points to the top, '-talks about a thing called the Seventh. It continues, and says, 'The Seventh escaped the City before the Bringer was slain'.'

רשת Faelnon says, 'I've been thinking of it, and I believe this is talking of a seventh dragon. When we summoned them, we only ever got six. This one escaped Tildruin before the Bringer, or the mother dragon, was killed.'

רשת Faelnon points to a middle section, 'This, on the other hand, talks about the powers of the Seventh.'

רשת Faelnon explains, 'It shows the Seventh as a crudely drawn winged beast, another dragon. However, it then shows it becoming an Orc.'

רשת Faelnon continues, lighting up various sections of a large carving, 'Here's where it gets interesting, this picture shows the other Orcs on the ground, covering their ears, in pain. It then shows the dragon-Orc disappear into another Orc, who then has red markings around it. The Orc with red picks up a spear, and slays the leader, indicated with this crown.'

רשת Shandor says, 'Are you saying this Seventh is taking over people?'

רשת Faelnon nods, 'I believe so, the pillar continues to make mentions of its ability. The dragon-Orc ascends to leadership of the city, and these two buildings are created.'

רשת Shandor says, 'Two?'

רשת Tengu mutters, "Their leader changed..."

רשת Faelnon says, 'Oh, sorry, this palace and the tower outside.'

רשת Ariea says, 'If the Seventh can take over people, couldn't he have taken over Varadrion and forced him to kill Caeilie?'

רשת Shandor says through gritted teeth, 'It is possible.'

רשת Shandor turns to Faelnon, 'You say the orcs are in pain here, their ears? Like screeching? Do you think it is the being that has solely been taking over people.'

רשת Isondil says ' That is probably what happened'

רשת Tengu says, "But can that dragon take any shape it wants... or only orc?"

רשת Faelnon says, 'It is entirely possible, the take-overs have only affected one person at a time.'

רשת Faelnon turns to Tengu, 'I'm not sure... it only dipicts it becoming an orc. It takes over the other one.'

רשת Thor says, 'If I move away from Varadrion, are any o' ye still gonna attack him?'

רשת Tengu says, "But that new human and elven leaders..."

רשת Shandor says, 'They could just be new leaders...'

רשת Isondil says 'Is it also possible that the seventh is behind the other takeovers of the humans and elves?'

רשת Shandor says, 'I don't think it is wise to rush up to them and accuse them.'

רשת Shandor says, 'The Seventh killed to gain to power, the others didn't.

רשת Faelnon nods to Isondil.

רשת Tengu says, "Killing for ascension is a normal way for orcs, I suppose."

רשת Shandor nods slowly, 'Possibly.'

רשת Shandor says, 'Although, I won't be accusing the other leaders at the moment, not unless there is more proof.'

רשת Ariea asks, 'What do we do now?'

רשת Shandor says, 'I suggest that we stay here and sleep, there are plenty of beds. However, each of us lock our doors. And don't let anyone else in 'til morning.'

רשת Shandor says, 'I wonder how the drivers of the 'train are doing.'

רשת Tengu says, "They are all in blood, I think. Hope if only from rain."

רשת Calaryn 'who knows..'

רשת Shandor nods.

רשת Shandor says, 'They probably got inside the wagon and stayed there.

רשת Tengu shrugs.

רשת Shandor says, 'Well, I advise we all get some sleep.'

רשת Shandor asks, 'Any objections?'

רשת Isondil says ' Shouldn't someone go to see if their ok?'

רשת Thor nods, 'I'll go do it.'

רשת Thor leaves the palace and makes his way towards the 'train.

רשת Tengu says, "Just in case... If I'll be possessed... Feel free to defend yourself at any means."

רשת Shandor says, 'If you all lock the doors and you are possessed, the worst you could do without waking us up would be to run about the hall madly.'

רשת Isondil says 'Or knock people's door's down and kill them?'

רשת Shandor says, 'If you did that, we'd wake up.'

רשת Tengu says, "I got used to fight without that iron toys... Sorry, I can't part with my limbs."

רשת Isondil nods and says 'Hopefully that won't happen anyway'

רשת Shandor nods.

רשת Faelnon heads upstairs and find a room for himself.

רשת Faelnon proceeds to lock the door. He sits down on the bed and sighs.

רשת Tengu nods and walks up the stairs.

רשת Calaryn looks for a room with a thick door with no windows

רשת Faelnon says, 'I am sorry, Caeilie.'

רשת Isondil walks upstairs and finds himself in a small room with no windows and only a bed and locks the door behind him.

רשת Cyria walks up to a room with one window overlooking a gloomy part of the city and a bed

רשת Thor comes back from the 'train, 'They're fine.'

רשת Thor rubs his beard, which has been covered in blood.

רשת Thor says, 'A beard should not be stained by blood unless in battle...'

רשת Thor heads up to his room.

רשת Shandor goes up to his room.

רשת Ariea follows.

רשת Cyria looks at her blood covered window and heads over to the door and locks it

רשת Thor locks the door and props his axe against it.

רשת Ariea locks the door and sits down on the bed beside Shandor, she leans against his shoulder and sobs, 'What did Caeilie do that he had to be killed? He was a good and sweet man, it isn't fair.'

רשת Tengu enters the same room he was searching in before the murder and locks the door.

רשת Calaryn locks her door

רשת Shandor says, 'This entire thing isn't fair.'

רשת Tengu thinks a little and puts a pile of tableware next to the door.

רשת Ariea cries, 'I can't take this, what gods could be so cruel that they constantly torture us, and other people?'

רשת Shandor wipes a tear off Ariea's cheek, 'I don't know...'

רשת Isondil lies down on his bed thinks about what happened tonight

רשת Tengu comes to the window and watches red drops hitting the glass.

רשת Tengu sighs and falls on the bed.
