Robert gladly goes with Rosette, expecting that she wants the counsel of a clergyman..

Albert works his way down the stairs last, using a knife he has found to effectively dry shave off the morning stubble on his face. For no apparent reason he stops at the last stair, runs his hand over his chin and cheeks, then looks around as he places the dagger into a small sheath on his belt.

Well... This seems a rather uneventful morning. Perhaps that is a good thing.

As he moves off the stairs, he immediately moves to a nearby window to look out and see what sort of day we have to work with.

OOC> It is Mistrazor, isn't it?

Kimuriel by his turn points the puzzle in the chest.

“What about that Artemis? Do you have any idea what is it for?”

Robert found Rosette standing outside near a tree on the road. The area was still deserted but the sound of birds and the sun's morning rays brought it to life.

"Father... I am scared. I dreamed poorly last night and worry about what I see coming true."

Looking outside in an opposite direction Albert can hear the two talking. The sky itself was slightly overcast but the wind looked to be moving the clouds away. It was shaping up to be a fine morning.

***
Inside the Inn Ixevim immediatley recognises Mistrazor as its familiar presence covers the room.

Artemis is now holding the puzzle box and gives it a small shake.
"Something is inside it." he passes it to Kimuriel "Maybe it is some safety box? I've heard of things like them before. Odd though."

Kimuriel looks the box carefully.

“If it’s a safe box it can be trapped as well. Please go back, I’ll try to open it from distance, if it’s not locked.”

Kimuriel puts the box on the table and joins the others at the other side of the room. Then, he concentrates and focuses on the box. A small translucent hand appears and tries to open the box.

"What did you see? And have you had true dreams before?"

After several attempts to open the box Kimuriel finally manipulates the right process and the top folds open. A small blade shoots up into the hand and it vanishes. It seems that Kimuriel was correct in assuming a trap.

Moving forward carefully he tips the small box over only to see a round fire gem roll out.

***********

Rosette looks to Robert and pain is evident in her eyes. "It's blurry. I get... flashes of a crowd and yelling."

"I was right!" says Kimuriel with pride.

Then the psion goes towards the table and cautiously examines the gem.

"Sometimes dreams are just dreams. What is it about this dream, this mob you saw, that worries you so? Was it what they were yelling?"

Coan · Post by **Coan** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 11:02 pm

Kimuriel observes the gem but aside from its obvious value and beauty there is little strange about it. It is a fiery orange that captures the light quite well, he imagines it fairly valuable.

***********

"Because... I what I did see was madness and I... I dreamt of being taken into the crowd and bitten. Then this morning..." Rosette's hand trails to the collar of her dress and pulls down the material slightly, it is enough for Robert to see small puncture marks that resemble those left by teeth. "I know I was trampled and attacked by the people yesterday as they fled but this... this mark wasn't there last night. I swear to you father. Am I being punished?" she paused as she summed up her courage for the next few words "I have sinned greatly in the past."

“I don’t think it’s anything unusual to this gem. We can keep it, sell it and share the money. What do you think?”

Cole must be in great danger to have been separated again from his knife. After some examining, the mind flayer picks up the knife and goes to Kimuriel and Artemis.
He sents them a telepathic message as his shows them the knife. "This is Mistrazor. Cole Deschain's knife. Artemis, perhaps you remember the man from our brief exchange in Bluetspur. The knife has very special qualities and Cole was never separated from his dagger willingly. It has saved his life many times.
Kimuriel, Cole came with us from our own time."

"What makes your conscience trouble you so, that you think you should be punished?"

Kimuriel looks Ixevim and says:

“I agree it’s weird to find it here. What do you know about him Ixevim? What he was up to?”
