Subject: mmhmm
Adrian spent the majority of mealtime scribbling furiously, trying to remember as much as he could of his study sessions with Jal's notes and trying to recall as many of his abstract ramblings as possible. He had some crazy things in his mind... perhaps one of them related to time travel or illusions or whatever was going on.
Hopefully his messenger would reach Freegate in time.
He much preferred traveling at night, under the cover of darkness. Valentine the Nocturnal some of the pit fighters called him. Not that he minded the vampire references and other musings. Better they think he was a vampire than a runaway mage.
The mountain path passed by him almost in total oblivion. His mind was racing with questions to ask of the priests, things to remember to do at the Temple, and of course ways to defeat the demon brothers should they meet again. As Dapple approached the door, Adrian drew his glasteel sword and prepared for anything. Although from the looks of things, there would likely be nothing here...

Adrian didn't know much about pseudodragon culture and abilties as he would have liked. He would have to learn more later about it and what it was trying to do. Killer had the remarkable ability to find nuts, eat nuts, and... think about nuts. Chipmunks were not nearly as magical of beasts as pseudodragons. And chipmunks pretty much represented 100% of Adrian's animal lore abilities.
Either way the situation became suddenly tense. Valentine brought the trusted armor spell to the top of his mind and rested his hand on the glassteel sword on his back. He would be prepared for anything that came through that door.
"I believe lunch would be best served quickly... we don't want to delay. Forces are at work here that we cannot contend with absent the aid of the priests."

Technically because I don't believe we could legally edit posts if not. And we have to be able to edit posts. And what Eol said.
Point being, we're not going to steal your stuff. And if someone else does steal something you post to the Inn, THEN we can go after it. We're a community.
That being said, It's not wise to post something you plan on publishing and making money off of. Here or anywhere else on the internet. Once it's out there it can never be taken back.

Hiyo newbie! Watch out for Eol. He escaped the lockdown ward again and is probably out looking for faces to lick.
The pace can be kind of slow in the summer. We don't really have the chat crowd we used to, but we're workin on it. Take your time, don't feed the Grugg, and don't step in any Eol slobber... he can sense it.
P.S. Do you know Sib? I ask cause of the parent thread.

Subject: really?
Valentine needed a library where he could do some research. This place didn't look like it would have the kind of arcane books he would need, but maybe the temple would have enough to at least get his mind pointed in the right direction.
The elders were going to send a messenger to Dwan? This was not adding up at all.
"Sir," Adrian spoke up from his seat, "May I have a word with my teammates in private before we go any further?"
Assuming nobody objects, Adrian will pull everyone that wants to come to his table and speak with a hushed voice.
"I think I have an idea what's going on..." he starts shakily.
"We left home 5 days ago. At our pace it took us 5 days to get here," Adrian sort of drew something in the air with his finger to help him spit it out.
"Something with the times don't add up. Let's call today day 0. If the council decides to send a messenger, let's assume a seasoned one can make it to Dwan in 3 days, and then another day to call us together, and then we set out the next morning, the morning of the Mordon 4th. Let's call that day 5...
"We arrive 5 days later - day 10 - to find the town being attacked, and the refugees all claimed the attack started the night prior - day 9. The thing none of them understood was that the priests didn't come to help. Then we wake up in a field of corn and it's back to Mordon 4th. Only now, the council hasn't sent a messenger at all."
Valentine takes a drink to get through it.
"It's almost like the first five days didn't even happen, but yet we still made it here. Either way we have to figure out what happened to the priests. They are the key to keeping not only Hevlorn intact but might be our only way to defeat the demon brothers that so happily slaughtered us before."
Adrian's face turns a very somber tone as the realization strikes him.
"It wasn't an illusion, it was some powerful spell to alter time itself. I don't know who cast it or why or even when, but if I'm right, we only have four days before they attack and destroy the town."
He pulls a piece of parchment, quill and inkwell from his coat and begins furiously writing. There is a chance you do not yet know, but we are in great danger. There is a chance we have traveled through a gate or encountered some powerful magic to distort time and reality. On the eve of Mordon the 7th, Hevlorn will be destroyed and we will all be killed, I believe by a pair of demons. Please spend the next few days in research and supply me with any information we can use to prevent this. -Adrian Valentine, Mordon 4.
"We need to find those priests. They will at least know our next move."
After anyone has anything to add in private
"How quickly can the council get a message to Freegate?"
Assuming an available messenger that can make it in less than 4 days
"Take this then, and have your messenger depart immediately while we investigate the temple." Adrian seals the letter and writes on the front: Gwanele: Urgent
"Tell your messenger it is only to be delivered to Gwanele or Dwan Granitecrusher if she cannot be located."
Adrian takes one last swig before standing up. They were quite literally racing against time.

Subject: ho boy Eol does have a way with weirdos
Thoughts of the illusion continued to haunt Valentine's mind as the team made their way through the village to the town hall and subsequent meeting with the elder council. There were a few things that puzzled him - if they had truly gone back in time three days, why weren't there still reports of missing cattle and women, but rather priests. It couldn't be a simple time traveling scenario, nor could it be a simple illusion.
"My friends," Adrian spoke quietly as they marched towards the town hall, "I fear we might be dealing with more than an illusion or simple parlor trick. It's strange really - on one hand moving back in time is likely not impossible, but it would certainly be a skill that one *begins* to study after having mastered several advanced arcane arts. One that is out of reach of all but the most powerful archmages, if even they have the power.
"If we are dealing with something or someone capable of distorting time, we might be in over our heads. There are a couple more things I have thought of..." He makes sure everyone is still paying attention, and then continues whether they are or not, "What if Dwan's information was incorrect. There were never reports of missing cattle and women? It's a far jump from cattle and missing people to priests who don't come around anymore.
"And yet another possible scenario, one that I fear is the most sinister and somehow the most likely - We are actually in an illusionary world now... Think about it - if the demons were able to destroy us and trap our souls or consciousness in some other plane of existence, then they might be able to make us think we are still alive!"
Adrian Valentine looked side to side, his now very long hair (it apparently hasn't been maintained in months) and electric grey eyes darting to and fro. His voice had gotten louder without his notice.
"Ahem, forgive me. I have been studying... some very strange things since we last adventured together. It's probably nonsense. Perhaps the elder council will be able to correct the confusion about cattle and priests." Once a loon with flawed magick, always a loon with flawed magick.... I should have left his mind untouched.
The remainder of the stroll through town passed around Valentine. He was lost in his daily upper-body ritual - arm curls with the heaviest-looking rocks he could find and carry in one hand. The Ex-Red had always been obsessive about maintaining his physical appearance and ability, but prize fighting brought Adrian's body to a new peak, something he compulsively maintained to a higher degree than even before.
He looked less like a mage and more like a street thug were it not for his Red-corps insignia on his arm. The long-healed scar etched across it seems to have been freshly reopened in the time since their last outing, as if to suggest a re-desecration of sorts. Or perhaps the fading scar tissue wasn't quite menacing enough for a seasoned "gladiator" of his stature. Adrian himself wasn't quite sure why he tore into the scar that night he buried Wind, but it wasn't really on his priority list of things to self-analyze. He had far too many new scars since becoming an Imperial traitor. They were his real character, his real personality. Not some half-wit idea done out of spite. They were real signs of battle, of seasoning. Gone was the arrogant boy that spoke ill of the Empire, replaced with an arrogant man that had suffered the consequences of treason and lived.
At the town hall a travelling minstrel had saw fit to welcome them with song. Spoke of love and thorns and other flamboyant nonsense. Probably wanted a tip.
Adrian flipped a silver piece into the flagon of ale at the bard's feet. Maybe next time he'll remember to lay out his hat, Adrian allowed himself a smirk as he took a seat near, but not at, the Elder's table.
