[center][b][u][h1][color=crimson]Sihlas Arche[/color][/h1][/u][/b][/center] [hr] That was nice, someone who didn't assume he could already do things he couldn't. [color=crimson]"A discovery [i]in[/i] the mines? That is odd, and intriguing."[/color] Then Dormic spoke of the tree, an area around it radiating strong magics, and Sihlas guessed that the source was the tree from the sound of it. He leaned in slightly as the man extended his hand and spoke the word 'flame' in a soft tone. Immediately after he spoke his fist was engulfed in a small ball of fire, slightly bigger than his hand, yet it clearly wasn't causing him any harm. Despite it being fire, it only glowed with enough light to to lightly illuminate their area. Sihlas paused a moment as he stared at the flame, then recalled a spell he had read of before, [color=crimson]"Hmm, 'produce flame' is the name I read about that spell. It was in one of my study books about druidic, or druidic-like, magic. It would make sense for it to be druidic magic considering where you learned it."[/color] The young scholar couldn't hide the twinkle in his eye, the part of him eager to learn magic starting to show, [color=crimson]"I will have to visit that place myself to see what I can learn, maybe will someone else for more security. But first I think I'll see about that mine discovery, its closer and is a bit more of an immediately concern for the town, which means it is very unlikely I'll be alone."[/color] Standing from his seat once finished with his water, Sihlas held out a hand to shake with Dormic and then Ntaj, [color=crimson]"It was good to meet you two, its always nice and reassuring to have my first experience in a settlement be meeting friendly individuals like yourselves."[/color] He shook his head with a sigh at some of the other... less than friendly receptions he'd had before in other places, [color=crimson]"I guess I will speak to the mayor about what's in the mines, and maybe see about a place to sleep tonight, whether indoors or out. Do you know where I can find the man? Or woman? I'd assume at the mayor's house."[/color] [hider=Rolls] Arcana Check on Dormic's spell-[url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/12079]17[/url] [/hider]
