This post isn't much more than banter between them and exposing how much Toun has learned so far.[/hider] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]You have stopped moving. Have you found the seeker?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]He has been taken to a city. His name is Lazarus. He has been given a great shelter to work in.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Keep watching closely.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]That shall not be a challenge. The maidservants are not closely watched in this place. I can assume the role of one.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Is there anything else?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]He is writing strange runes onto a box. I cannot inspect it without alerting him, such are the nature of the runes.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Are they Tounic?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]No. They are...original.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Observe its development.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]...[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]There is something else. Speak.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]...He has a shell, like ours. He looks like me.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Inconsequential.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]Acknowledged.[/i][/color] [hr] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]...[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Report.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]He ventured from his house today. He travelled amonsgt the peasantry and partly into the wild.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Why?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]Unclear. He has been asking after a gem. The matter appears to be causing him great distress.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Did he do anything else?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]He found a dark fruit. It made him jittery when he ate it. He has taken a liking to them. He has taken a number for himself.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Jittery?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]It puts him in a daze. He works frantically under its influence. Though he is caught by long pauses for thought.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Take them away if it is damaging him.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]They are not as of yet.[/i][/color] [hr] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]...[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Where are you going?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]He is leaving the city.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Going where?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]East. He leaves with haste, as if to go unnoticed.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Keep following him.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]He is too young to know how to cover his trail from me. He will not notice a mountain goat at his destination as me, either.[/i][/color] [hr] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]...[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]What is it?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]Ilunabar is here.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]For what purpose?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]Unknown. Might be a coincidence.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Have you been noticed.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]If I have, the goddess has not shown it.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Keep your dist-[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]They are leaving. I will follow.[/i][/color] [hr] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Where are you now?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]A castle in the clouds. They have stopped here.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]It may be a trap.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]I can evade it. I will assume the form of an elemental.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]You are already doing so, aren't you?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]They are discussing things over maps. Lazarus appears to be making some kind of dual-creature.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]What for?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]An experiment. It is inconsequential.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Acknowledged.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]...He has taken something behind her back. A piece of text. It may incept what we need Lazarus to do without our interference.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Ilunabar would have noticed.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]She would. She has not reacted.[/i][/color] [hr] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]...[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]You found Lazarus again. What has become of him?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]He resides in a valley. He is growing more guarana here.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Is that all?[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]Every other detail is written in that box of his. I can only watch him from afar in the form of a bird.[/i][/color] [hr] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]...[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]A development.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]He has enlisted local goblins to tend to his gardens. I have disguised as one to get closer. He has his gems now.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Continue.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]Their purpose is unclear. He is reaching into the unseen with them.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]Be careful not to be noticed.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]Inconsequential. He will see my presence as normal if his only sight into the unseen has me within it.[/i][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][b]He will notice your absence.[/b][/color] [color=PaleGoldenrod][i]Then I will not be absent.[/i][/color]
