*Lady Mercury eyes widen as Raven goes out the window*
"What in the name of the moon are you doing?!" She calls out after Raven
*Lady Mercury shakes her head and glances at Lokie and Drago*
"So, should we follow her, she seems rather unstable... And what on earth is a Lord Fear? Although it looks like she doesn't really wan our help, it is rather rude of her to leave without an apology or an explanation!"

Lokie: Did she...
*Lokie appears startled.*
Lokie: Did she just...
*He looks from Lady Mercury to Drago.*
Lokie: Did she just call you charming?
*He returns his gaze to Lady Mercury, bowing his head slightly.*
Lokie: My dear, I mean you no disrespect, but first impressions can at times be very misleading.
*Lokie smirks. Drago rolls his eyes.*

*Lady Mercury smiles beningnly at Lokie*
"I actually meant the pair of you were charming! And I agree, first impressions can indeed be misleading.."
*She gives a cheeky smile as she says this*
*The question now is, what do we say to the person outside? And what do we do about Raven? Hmmm, well, i think I might be able to put a tracking spelll on Raven, if need be."

[OOC: There's been no mention of Drago or Lady Mercury closing the door behind them when they entered. If Drago had done so, I would have said. If Suh Wok is waiting at the open door out of politeness, fair enough; but it means he'd be in a position to see into the room, and thereby know that Raven isn't there. Unless there's another explanation. ] Lokie: Raven is not here, in any of her known forms. Kindly do not interrupt us at this time.Mr. Wok, try scouting around outside the inn for a bad-tempered archeress, and asking her. She is a lot closer to Raven than we. Lokie: *Turning to Lady Mercury* As I'm sure you can appreciate from what you overheard before entering, I have no desire to see that bumptious b*Drago sneezes* again. By all means track her if you deem it worth the expenditure of magic. At least then we could be certain of avoiding her henceforth.What did you two make of that arrow? The way in which it... Lokie: Telekinesis. That creature has more magic in her body, and more daemons in her head, than even she realises. I suspect that her subconscious mind made that arrow behave as it did, in order to support her violent hallucination.

*Suh Wok enters the room. He moves near to Lady Mercury and Drago, but moves stray from the Dragon, almost flinching each time he looks at Lokie.*
"Ah.. ahctaully.. there ihs muh muh more to this than you may think. Ray-ven, ahs she is known, was trapped by an ehvil ovvahlord of the Dungeons, about ten yeahs ago, in this"
*Suh Wok brings out a strange book. The cover is heavily aged, but seems to have a silver pearlescent shine to it.*
"Ten yeahr ago, Ray-Ven wahs on a quest, in the dungeon, during the time Treguard wahs questing. Unfotunate, Ray-ven was trapped, by Lohd Feah, in this vehry rook. She spehnt ten long yeahs in this rook, fighting Lohd Feah."
*Suh Wok takes a glance at the people in the room. Although he isn't sweating, he isnt excalty oozing confidence*

*Lokie stares hard at the intruder.*
Lokie: And all the while, you were there at her side, tutoring her in etiquette, reminding her to be polite to those that mean her no harm, exhorting her not to pick fights when none is wanted, impressing upon her the importance of not simply inviting oneself into a room when-
Drago: *Clears throat* Lokie, don't forget how we arrived here.
*Lokie falls silent, and looks a little sulkily to Lady Mercury for support.*

*Suh Wok cringes as Lokie talks.. now he is sweating a little bit*
"My aprrogies but... ahh.. err.. no.. I.. I only came into pohsession of this rook, five yeahs ago. It seemed to be a magic rook, so I try to sell it, but nobody buys it. That was until a few weeks ago. A little girl came out of this rook, in the middle of a bar. Trom made her safe. I did not see her again until she attacked me in the market.. it seems she recognised me. Aftah this, I did some research. I read the rook, covah to covah."

*I have to admit, I agree with Lokie, the girl could have been a bit more polite, though I suppose I would be ill tempered if I'd been trapped in a book for 10 years!"
*Lady Mercury looks coldly at Suh-Wok*
"Hmmm, and how exactly did you happen to come by this magical book? Did it not occur to you to take it to a magic user and get them to check it?! That girl could've been freed several years ago from what you've said. Who is this Lord Fear? Raven made a reference to him, but I have no idea who he is!"

"I did try, howrever, any magrician I asked would not look at the rook. They said it was 'Evil'. I am a sahlesman, so I try to sell the rook instead. As foh how I came by the rook, I found it on my travels. It was just on the floor, on the trail to Rolfenden so I picked it up, looked ahround and left rith it."
*Suh Wok flicks through the book until he finds a page near the start. He turns the book toward Drago and Lady Mercury. On the pages is a picture of a man wearing a skull on his head, Lord Fear*
"Ris is Lohd Feah. A powehful Technomancer."

*Lady Mercury looks askance at the idea a magic user wouldn't look at a book because they deemed it "Evil"*
"They can't have been very good then" she mutters under her breath
"So you just found it lying there, in the middle of the path? And why on earth did Raven decide to attack you? Although she does seem to have a fondness for attacking first, asking questions later! Forgive my ignorance, but I've never heard of such a thing as a technomancer..."

*Suh Wok shrugs*
"She claims that she saw me. She said that I was the cause of some attack on her person, I did not hear any further.. I .. passed out. She had surprising strength for such a little girl"

[ModNote: It seemed to be a magic rook, so I try to sell it, but nobody buys it. That was until a few weeks ago. A little girl came out of this rook, in the middle of a bar. Admittedly, 'Surrounds time' moves slower than real world time; but don't forget, the 'brick' froze time for Raven without her realising it. The second stage is the warm-up. In some realms, traps are given a 'countdown': a warm-up to complete activation that, rather than causing any damage, warns the targets of their impending doom and gives them ample chance to avert or flee it. How nice - and how silly. Better to have a trap that causes subtle problems as it warms up for the big finish. For instance, how about a trap that generates an ultrasonic trance-inducing pulse, affecting human and Alzan brainwaves alike? The targets might notice each other drifting off into daydreams, but they wouldn't know why - and nor would they realise that their trances are lasting days, maybe even weeks and months. So what may have been a mere 'few weeks ago' in her perception is likely to have been much longer to others, including Suh Wok. Unless he was deliberately understating the amount of time that's passed for some reason. Also, Suh Wok, before you post again in this thread, please could you post in your Character Profile thread as requested there?]
