While he still had the outward appearance of an elder gentleman, he began to display the vigor of a much younger man. [color=b8860b]"Ah, what indeed, Peter? It is quite the scandal, you see..."[/color] His voice had dropped in volume somewhat, but had taken on notes of whispered strain. He wished to convey that it was a secret while indicating a level of enthusiasm for their endeavor. [color=b8860b]"We have a mismatched Fellowship of individuals, held in common by a series of unusual and unexplained events. Shared dreams, some even in their waking hours. Symbols etched into jewelry by some invisible hand while we watched. Some of us have received those symbols in the form of spontaneous branding. [i]Branding[/i], Peter. Burnt into flesh. All of us likewise had a similar vision, an udjat ring seared into our hands and some voice booming in Egyptian Arabic, bidding us onward."[/color] The Lord Major pulled out his pipe and began to stuff it. He was becoming quite the man he was decades ago at the mere discussion of the adventure to come. [color=b8860b]"Vera has deciphered some of the text, and it points us toward a dig site a little further up country, you see. But before I continue, dear Peter, how has [i]your[/i] sleep been as of late? I don't suppose you've any recent dreams about sand, war, and blood, have you? Inhuman armies having at one another while a jackal-headed chap witnessed the slaughter? Perhaps you might provide other details, if my hunch is correct."[/color]
