Hearing nothing, he shrugs, than steps outside to survey the area.

"Err... righ', lad. Not that I'd understand the lass if she does get around to askin'." He gives the minotaur a strange look. "Speakin' o' askin', this'll be a favor to ye, right? Well how's about a bit o' trust. Ye never did mention yer name."

Perception roll to overhear the whisper (as Dahkore had been going to the mouth of the cave)

The minotaur just slowly turned his head to look into his eyes. and the whispered into his ear again (pm)

"Dammit, boy. Ye dinnae have to fear that! I doubt I could pronounce that mess!" He sighs and looks over the minotaur. "Look, I'll call ye Tarbh fer now. That a good enough name fer ya, least fer now?"

The elven woman pulls her attention away from the ants long enough to see her companions exiting the cavern. For a moment she seems torn, looking back and forth between the ants and the party, her brow furrowed with concern.

Finally, though, she sighs and heads toward the fissure that leads back up to the surface. As she steps into the sunlight, she smiles, and the aura of light about her changes subtly until it blends almost perfectly with the bright morning sun.

Dahkore sees the maiden exit the cavern, watches her aura transform. And of course she's still unclothed! he thinks to himself, shaking his head. He calls over to her. "Ithilwen, darling, why don't you get dressed? Have you any clothing or possessions at all about you?"

(I assume Dahkore is speaking elven)

The woman stops in place, her head tilting to the side at the gryphon's words. She says something in elven, something that sounds like a question, then looks around her, as if searching for something.

Finally, she makes an exclamation and climbs back down into the cavern, returning with her staff. She speaks in elven again to Dahkore, moving closer to stand next to him, a broad smile on her face.

(Yes, sorry Elven before, and now)

"Well, those of your general race, as well any manner of humanoids have taken to wear them to make themselves look nice, as well as to protect themselves from the elements." Though he would prefer to convince her to put something on, there was clearly nothing for her to wear around, so he dropped the subject.

"It looks like we will be heading out soon. May I carry you, Ithilwen?" He turns to offer his side to the young elf. "You can ride on my back and keep your feet from getting tore up before we can get you some footwear, at least."

"Perhaps we're goin' about this the wrong way. Tarbh here says his blade is speakin' to 'im. Ruby has said somethin' about a strange feelin'. And I know that I, meself, have been havin' some interestin' experiences that are pullin' me deeper into the mountains. Now I know we three be dabblers in the arcane arts. Maybe we should pool our arcana and see what we can see about these guidin' whispers."

Attempting to get everyone to either each of us do an Arcana check to see what information we can glean about what is guiding us and where it is guiding us to, or for everyone to give me a boost to my own Arcana check and I'll just do one check for all of us with, I believe, a +4 with your help. I'll do my roll now and if you guys want to either help or do your own separate check then just let us know which.

Even if you don't want to help, Liar is still going to do this.

'd20' :

Rubicon agrees with Liar, and attempts to scan his own area, to broaden their search.
Arcana +12

The member 'Rubicon' has done the following action : Rolls

'd20' :

The minotaur agrees, but insists, "My intuition about the situation tells me that we need to be going Southwest that's what we are looking for, and I feel that's where I'm going to find my answers. But I will lend my efforts in assisting you Sigil"

*everybody notices that his common is getting better, and seems to be slowly remembering more and more as they get closer to the direction they speak of.*

"My blade.. is a gift, given to me by some people I have met here, where ever here is. But they look a bit like the shiny woman (points at Ithilwen)"


Arcana Assist +8 (helping Sigil) - He holds up his blade infront of him pointing towards the sky, and runs his palm over the flat surface of the sword revealing the elven runes which glow with a bright light blue hue.

Rubicon strokes his chin as he attempts to sense any arcane presence. "Hmmm... I seem to sense a powerful magic signature... south... no, southwest! I estimate five, six days worth of travel. If we take the roundabout way trough the pass." His eyes widened slightly as he felt a magical backlash from behind him, turning and noticing Sigil and Ololamin. "Oh dear... those two don't look so well. Maybe their arcane powers don't mesh well?"

The elven woman (whom Dahkore referred to as Ithilwen) climbs gleefully onto the gryphon's back. She sits up as tall and straight as she can, reaching for her arms upward toward the sky, and saying something in elven.

Suddenly, her head spins around and she stares at Ololamin and Sigil, her eyes widening. She then shakes her head, says something else in elven, and reaches out to pat Dahkore on the neck.

"GRAAGH!!" Liar screamed in agony as the backlash hit him. His head felt like it was splitting open and his connection to the arcane slipped, ever so slightly. "That... dinnae feel good." He gasped. Then he vomited. Coughing, he straightened back up. "Tarbh... how are ye, boy? Did it hit ye too?"
