[hider=OOC]Unfortunately, Kalila only got a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/29723]6[/url] on her History Check.[/hider]

Kalila meets the owl woman, Strix's gaze, but she does see that familiar mask that the creature wore. So she did summon it! Her eyebrows rose at Strix's words, and she speaks up, "Challenge? I think there's been some confusion, Strix. I thought you were one of those rogues calling themselves the Vultures. I had to chase one away earlier today! And my name is Kalila," 

While she is glad to hear that they are near Thornwood, she is still concerned about how far and what direction they are from the place. No doubt, Garrek and Gerta are probably worried by now...! She raises an eyebrow when she makes it clear that she doesn't have much time to talk. Seeing that she's serious and demanding attention, Kalila does indeed give her that attention. 

She listens as Strix makes it clear that she's the Herald of the Noble Starweaver? Starweaver does sound like an appropriate title for the man she saw in her dreams. She then hears that the attack on her was meant to determine her raw power. She felt a bit of indignation as she thought to herself "[I]So that was some kind of initiation?![/I]"

When she hands her the vial of white, translucent liquid that catches the sunlight, and informs her that it would make her feel better, Kalila accepts it gently. She answers Strix, "Thank you, Strix," She remembered the man's words. There was nothing to fear if he was watching. Besides, what's a worse risk? Not drinking it could potentially mean that she would be stuck and left at the mercy of the wilds. At least there's the possibility of recovering if she did drink the contents. If Strix wanted to kill her, she would have done so already...

So she quickly drinks the contents of the vial. She looks to Strix as she asks, "What does it mean to be 'one of you'? To be chosen by the Noble Starweaver?"
