The voice was certain to speak outward to those in the general area. We, when given the chance take the name of Book-worm. At least among those who would so rarely ally themselves among us. Perhaps it was indeed rude to not perform an introduction before hand. Book-worm will simply do for now.

The hood of the cloak would shift toward the other adventurer, always hiding the true face beneath it. A changeling if the paladin's words to be believed, and there was no particular reason for them to deceive. There seemed to be little likelihood that they were incorrect either. It seemed the paladin had practiced the mind's eyes far more and had more strength in the skill than Book-worm themselves.

Their deity must be quite an interesting one, indeed.

Essentially, if they can hear it, they hear, "Moon of red, rise of dead."

@Shadow Dragon

thanks matey.

Book-worm was generally relaxed at first but hearing the foot steps of the Paladin approach still got a flinch out of them. They quickly relaxed once more as the Paladin spoke. It was clear, that Book-worm was being far too tense given the situation. The reassurance was indeed appreciated.

Thank you. Book-worm spoke to the paladin in their common way.
They would then turn toward the other adventurer that entered just before them.
We extend our greetings. Book-worm would send the message toward Margaret's mind. Have you not been hearing us? Mm, that is our apologies.

The voice had an odd habit of suddenly sounding deeper with occasional inflections every few words. It seemed to appear just now and again.

Haunting Revolutions

Ah. It's a old language, one that only the darkest and evilest monsters know. He might remember it from some old scroll or tome.

@Shadow Dragon

Probably yeah, and they have a connection to a dark ancient power themselves. Not demonic though, so was curious. Guess it's not directly speaking to them though, so there is a chance it won't work but at the same time they're pretty strong at translating

Haunting Revolutions

Yep. He's not doing nice things.

@Shadow Dragon

Just that in general? I guess I kind of ask because Book-worm is a walking translator radio, wanted to make sure if it was just atmospheric or was there something in there, or naw?

Book-worm's shoulders and thus the cloak slumped downward in relief in hearing that the paladin was blind. It was not that they wished to give the Paladin such an ailment, just that it was relieving in an odd manner. It seemed less likely that the two would attack another, especially not with ease.

Book-worm's 'voice' would call out toward the High Priest's mind to speak: My only next question would be that, what our next step would be. Beyond that, I do wish to ask if you know of this evil or perhaps have any records on it so that we may better understand our target. Once that is settled, I guess I do not have any further questions on the matter.

They did however, forget to allow Margaret and the Paladin hear it. A slightly bad habit when often focusing one particular being at a time.

Haunting Revolutions

Nah. I'll just post what Vinashy is doing when it's important.

@Shadow Dragon

alrighty, I ask in case the whispering secrets thing was important

Haunting Revolutions

@Shadow DragonAlso hi, should I wait for you to go?

Book-worm would look into the night sky as they traveled along. They could not tell the nature of the dark pillar from here, but figured it had to do with the divine mission. It could have been part of their patron's interference. The patron had only been quiet tonight. It was, abnormal for them to be even this quiet and secretive. It did keep Book-worm on their toes as they moved along.

Book-worm would hear the dark whispers in the air. Their mind would be quick to translate the meaning of what was being said as they went along. A common use of their own abilities, and it was not the first darker entity they had conversed with or known of that spoken of locked away secrets in ancient tongues. In fact that was how they met their patron in the first place.

Seeing the paladin sent a shiver of fear into Book-worm, they needed to be careful. They needed to be very careful. They would keep their distance and gather their courage when someone else enters the scene. They overheard the conversation between the two and it was rather clear they arrived at the correct location.

None the less, they feared rushing in.
A voice whispered into Book-worm's head: Careful my chosen
At least that was a twisted relief. Their patron was watching...

Book-worm reached out toward the paladin's mind from the shadows. They would begin to speak to the paladin through that manner: Be careful warrior of light, and be calm. For another chooses to approach you. Do not raise your weapon.
Book-worm would slowly try to approach the paladin

Haunting Revolutions

Alrighty. Also see why there's so many posts, there a couple of sentences long and only within the past few hours.. I'll start stewing something up
