Ten miles or so later, Bedlam sets Michael back to the ground. She settles in a near by tree, settling in to catch her breath .... assuming she breathes. That should give us a good enough lead. Hope you're arm's alright. Can't be easy being held up for that long. Maybe we should both get a bit of rest. |

Rest is good looking down at his arm and the new bruises and then looks back up at Bedlam It'll be stiff, but I'll live. then smiles at the gargoyle I'll make sure we live. Any idea how much further to Morgan? Then remembering the undead he stands watch for approaching critters. Perception Checks [ Spoiler ]

Morgana's mouth drops open. For a moment she stands there... speechless. She blinks her eyes a few times in surprise and then speaks.
I'm sorry... did you say time travel? Time travel? AHHH! I could go home! He could know a way home! I could go home!!! |

Morgana/Ralo/Alexander
Yes, I know! How completely absurd! You can't simply send a group of people through the time stream en masse! First you would have to create a temporal worm hole of some sort, which , believe me, is not only incredibly hard, but also incredibly stupid! Then you'd have to create enough power to keep it in state! After all, the only way to bring people forward and back, would be if there was some sort of bubble effect, maintaing the wormhole through it's entire duration! You would have to sustain the spell from the time you cast it, until what ever point in the timeline you wanted your subjects to end up in. The amount of magical power required for that would be absolutely ludicrous. Why, I don't know if even blood magic, or tieing the pattern of a powerful adept or legendary thread artifact would do it. Simplt preposterous. |

Mental Image: Plane plummeting to the ground and crashing.
Of course... a temporal worm hole. Morgana says weakly, clutching at a nearby chair. It's rotted wood gives under her grasp. Looking down in surprise, she wipes the dust from her hands and continues. Well... Master Athnen, we've come to your Citadel on behalf of the town of Haven. It is rumored a Horror stalks them in shadow. In your research, have you ever heard of anything like this before? The lie rolls off of Morgana's troubadour tongue easily. ... On behalf of... banished from... all the same when you get right down to it... |

Well I can't see anyone following us, but lemme know when you're rested up. Thinking I'd better practice my blocking. Heh, major difference between practice partners and things that really are trying to kill me I guess, never teach you that in self-defence.
Strange how you're getting so protective and attached to a free spirit that could snap you like a twig, isn't it? What? Eh? Want'dya mean? Well maybe.... a little.... |

The Elder of my village is acting oddly. I was even falsely imprisoned for a time. While there, I noticed that his shadow - if it can be called that - does not act as a shadow should. It moved independent of the light. Also, though some may think that I am mad; however, I head a shadow speaking to me from the corner of my cell. Does that help?

That does, unfortuantely, sound familiar.
A 'Shadow' is a powerful type of horror construct, made form the torutred soul of one of it's victims. It has the ability to control others. Generally speaking, their only weakness is magic, as it's rather hard to cut a shadow, naturally. They also do ahve the ability to take control of other victims, using their own abilities and memories to spread the horror's influence and soq destruction. if one of them has infiltrated your home, I suggest you do everything in your power to destroy it immediately. |

Ralo nods to the words of the old magician. I agree. And if my memories are correct, after the days without sleep and nearly being used as a dog chewing toy, we're here to locate the Horror, aren't we?

Stay at it boy. There you go now! |

Oh I cna assure you young men that there is no horror here. If it's a horror you seek, you could do worst than investigating that kaer. I'd bet my life ... err... well, that is to say that I would bet my life, had I one, that if there is a horror infesting this region, it would be in the middle of that failed experiment, in the sealed section of the kaer. Well, perhaps formerly sealed.
The hounds would certainly be effective against the Shadows. Other constructs however may be a challenge for them, depending on what the twisted creature may have constructed. |

Well Master Athnen, then it sounds as if we have no time to lose. Before we leave... is there anything we can do for you? A message to deliver, perhaps? Or ... maybe a relocation of your earthly remains?
Morgana glances sideways at the mouldering skeleton. |

Oh my earthly remains are quite content where they are, thank you dear. This is precisely where I would prefer they be.
The only request that I would have is that you yourselves, or someone perhaps that you may find, tend to my hounds and the IronGate Fortress. I would much preferthat my life's works not go to waste. There is muc hhere that I suspect you ahve not yet discovered. But I wouldn't want to spoil the joy of discovering it for yourselves of course! What joy is there in life if eerything is handed to you? |

There is work to be done, boy. Get to it!
Can we take a hound or two from this place to destroy the shadow, Master Athnen? Then we can go after that damnable horror. |

The hounds are no longer mine my boy, though it is gracious of you to ask. Someone did right with you I'd say. The spirit says it with a wink.

Alexander looks over to his companions and says, Shall we be on with this then? I have a date with a certain shadow that needs to be brought to light.

Ralo nods. No suprise. I'll come with you - after all, one has to cover your back.

Master Ralo, I thank you. May Mynbruje smile on us now.
Alexander turns to the image of Master Athnen and says, By you leave good sir. He then heads back for the entrance. |

We will do as you ask, Master Athnen. At least one of us will... I'm not so much with the cold and forbidding fortress look.
Morgana bows with a flourish and then rises with a smile. Once outside, she turns to the others. Well... that was... odd. Now what? |

As everyone finishes their chit chat with the pseudo-specter, it somply fades away.
Out side , the cool night air is giving way to dawn's morning light. The remaining mysteries of the Citadel can wait as there is work to be done in the village below. A Shadow be be brought in to the revealing light of truth, souls to be saved, and a demon to be put down once and for all. |

Alexander smiles at his companions for a minute and then heads toward the village. Morgana, can you hold the hound all the way to the village?

I should be able to. The control from the statue doesn't seem to be tied to the Citadel. I guess we'll find out when we leave then, won't we. She says it with a mischeivious smirk.
As the trio heads out of the Citadel, escorted by the small pack of Gate hounds, the see a pair of people walking up to the Citadel. Rather , one is a human man in ill fitting clothing, and the other is a small, windling sized gargoyle. It's the gargoyle that calls out when they see the group, shouting in a strange language. Morganna looks shocked for a moment, and calls back in the same tongue. The man has a look of relief on his face. The gargoyle... well... it's a gargoyle. |
