"We can retrieve them quickly enough. As they are stored at the one place that never looses anything." She offered thoughtfully. "I would need to make a trip to the bank."

**The Captain dismiss you, and after several days you are back with the samples needed, Emily makes sure to examine them before entering the place, and several runes are placed temporaly into the chamber for protection for possible scrying.*

*The preparations take days to finish, and finally you come to the meeting with the samples , captain Rae looks at you, and with Both Emily and the protector ready, he asks you*

- Well... please show us how this works, And how the process is. -

She could appreciate him

She could appreciate him wanting to understand, but in this she found it difficult to put it into words, what she felt that lead her to discover the nails to begin with. To her it was desperation to reclaim her life that lead her to take risks she knew under normal circumstances, she knew she wouldn't have. She had put her life in danger, causing her family to worry about her.

"The first couple of times I tried, I did not get very far, I was distracted by what I believed to be real, I was distracted by my desire to retrieve things that belonged to me that I did not focus on the source of the scrying. I had to take the time to clear my head before I could come at it from a fresh perspective, and even then, doing so look a lot of energy."

With that said, she began to explain the ritual itself, "This last time, instead of focusing on the items I wished to find, I felt something different. I felt the flow of the magic in the pool, and found the source of the scrying very closeby. I used its own energies to help me find the source, that in tracing that instead, it lead me to the nails. They may have been haulting my progress from the start, I am not entirely sure as I haven't tried again since finding the nails."

She continued to describe e nails and th ritual to Emily, to help guide her along the same path she had taken, and explain that it was not a typical ritual, but one that actually went deeper, it was a complete change in perception, that would lead her to understand more clearly, This was nothing simple, not even for the most seasoned of wizards or priests.

*Upon the completion of the examination, the Captain nods slowly, as Emily looks puzzled and somehow a bit surprised. More after the explanation of the findings thru vibrations as well as magic. The mixing of the music or how it reacted to music was somehow surprising *  

- Its indeed a clever process, upon normal inspection, this nails seems completly inert of any magic, but upon the reaction found with the strange music reaction makes a good disguise, its also incredibly clever the fact that can only be found under the veil of divination magic. I am not sure I could repeat the process on my own Captain - *She replies*

*The captain looks at you two, eyes with concern and then nods, he looks at the protector with an inquisitive look, raising one eyebrow at him, as if saying, Convinced? , then speaks to you*

Miss and Mr. Reid. Its has been quite explicative indeed, If you allow us a minute to discuss, we'll give you news in few. -

*With that the captain, the protector and Emily left the room from one side, three guards entered to the room almost inmediately,*

After some minutes, the trio returns, the captain extends you both a document *

- This is a passage to the city, this document will come as terms of "probatory" entry to the city, this would be with the intent of finding any of this nails that has been involved or infiltrated in the city, We are to ask you to use this entry for that purpose, you both would be under surveillance and any search of this sources should be done with Emily present.

With this said, we are need to mark you the same way we did Kaelan, for the sake of security of course, This mark is nothing but a magical brand that may help to locate you or test about your true self, We are taking the risk of the doubles sharing the magical propierties, that was discused in the first, but for now I am willing to take that risk.

This entry is probatory and will last for a year,
**he clears his throat** I wouldn't be surprised if this become more permanent after successful helps to remove or secure the lack of this nails in the city . **The captain gives a small smile to them *

I am affraid this terms are not negotiable, but i am sure that you two are law abiding citizens that may have no problem in giving the help requested.

*The captain looks at you both, awaiting for your reply*

She replies without hesistation to his offer, "Captain Rae, Of course I will accept the probationary terms you have given," She then catches herself and looks to Andrew to make sure she isn't speaking out of line for him.

He nods once and reads the papers in full before speaking. "The first two places to schedule searches are the Angel's Guild Hall and the Tower Academy. I'll double down that there are some nails there, or some other building material treated similarly. The council chambers next. Any high-end watering hole that attracts the powerful in the city." Taps the papers in his palm. "Have you inquired if anyone on the council or otherwise in a position of power has acted oddly? Any rumors that their family is worried because of their behavior?" Muttering to himself now. "Ringers. I told them - do they listen? And for that I ended up dead in a stream."

A small smile curled the elf's lips. This was, alltogether, better than expected. New tasks to be done, possibly beyond his paygrade, but perhaps he could learn something here or there, if the Reids and Emily would take him along for the ride. And it was a big if. Neither Emily nor the Protector would ever allow for that, past actions considered. The Captain would, perhaps, give an order. Perhaps not -

Either way, it would change little. "It is a lot of work to cover all angles, all places - we might need some more people, properly gifted and inclined. And the enemy knows our faces, and is making his next step in this deadly dance. We have little in time and people we can waste." His voice was silent, he spoke in ryhme, carefully and deliberate as if savoring every word, every syllable in regards to their poethic and rythmic pronounciation.

The cadence of paper on skin

The cadence of paper on skin slows. Slows. 

Stops.

"Of course marking me won't mark him. Of course it won't - " He flips off his coat and yanks his shirt over his left shoulder. The formerly moth-shaped scar has healed to an amorpheous blob of shiny tissue. "I was marked with this while you and the Angels were interacting with him. Did it also show on him? No one mentioned it. He never showed any pain, nor rubbed it, did he? And I amend my initial list. I think we should start our search for intrusion with this very building."

For a moment, he calmly glanced into the realm beyond, staring at the vibrating, swirling, morphing fabric of the Al'Noth, allowing it to flow through him. Just a small glance, cantrips and all. A calm onlooker, not even a witness nor an author able to write down in elegant words the drama and tragedies that slowly started to show everywhere. For now, he read magic, a reflex, scanning for residue or anything that might linger around, just barely outside his normal senses. And what were his normal senses anyway.

"Once you have divination weavings, everything starts looking like a nail that needs a thorough ... examination."

Calmly states, silently, with his slow, rythmical words. The Guard should have this under control. Of course, unless the Reids brought presents along.

She closes her eyes a moment, gathering her thoughts, listening to Andrew, Kaelen, Captain Rae and Emily. "Captain Rae the choice of where to start, is of course yours. Though Tashe does bring up a very valid point, starting here, where we have first met, may be the wisest course, and it would give Emily and Kaelan, the chance to see how this ritual works. I can guide them, and once you are satisfied, then you can decide where to start."

*The captain listens to the interactions and observes the marks where the Tatoo was on Andrew's body, he nods*

As i said master Reid, I do in general give no chances knowing how the darkelves were involved on this, but if it brings some closure to you we believe that the fact that the dark elves actions and the events of the Stone were not connected in the end, one was used to cover the other as a convenient distraction, which of them was using which we are yet to discover, this is thanks to The silverhair report and investigation.

At any rate we know for sure that the darkelves planted you that tatoo and "switched" you, which is why your concerns and our preocupations are in place, I would defer to you of who would you like in the team, You'll be under Emily supervision and she would also have the power to add or remove members to the team,
*He glances at the interaction beetwen Andrew and Kaelan*.

With this said I do agree that the Guild hall of your guild, and any public buildings that are near there, I'd add the Tower Academy as well since its my understanding that you both were teachers and had access to the building at the proper time, since we believe that the planting of the nails were done without the suspect actively knowing it, it may have less than regard to what desires or likes the real you had.

*The captain looks at you awaiting for a reply*

"I only point out that if you mark me, it seems more unlikely that it will magically appear on my double - wherever he may be. I still believe we should check this building, if only because one - you use it for sensitive interactions and information, and two - you admit you don't know who else might be compromised. It won't take long to scan it and the four of us can work together. We should start now." Motions to himself, Kaelan, Emily, and Elly. And before permission is given, Elly can feel her husband humming, feeding her power, linking with her to reach out and feel the Al'Noth.

« Reply #33 on: November 01, 2014, 07:26:34 pm »

As the strength of her beloved, is felt through his humming, she smiles gratefully at him, and looks to Emily and Kaelan motioning for them all to come closer. As before when she has attempted this ritual she casts necessary protections, to aid with mind protections she casts mind blank, to aid against any spells coming through, she casts spell protection, to help them see more clearly, she casts spells of true seeing, as she continues to cast the wards she feels are necessary to help protect them, she then begins to open her mind to the divining pool that has been set up for this ritual, and speaks softly to explain to them all but more directly to Emily, so she knows and understands specifically what she is seeking. While the pool in front of them ripples, it is not an image that Elly seeks, it is a hidden bit of the Al'noth beneath the surface she is seeking to locate, that would lead her the familar signature she found in the nails. whethere nails or something else was used in the building, that is what she is seeking to find, as she begins to draw on the support of those around her.

*The captain looks over the Protector whom is only observing the procedings at this point, he then give a small smile to the man then returns his gaze upon you*

I do agree that that , by all means this building is to be tested, if any it would give any insight to our very Emily on the process, that way she'll be able to help you more efficiently with the task .

*The captain nods at Emily then to the others*

*The preparation starts and once the magical energy flow, the methodic and inate magical knowledge mixed into the innate abilities of the bardic magic, then the search around the building is performed..... *

*..... Several hours later you find nothing compromised in the tower, the place is effectively clean off anything that may be used to scrying at least on the form or method that was found in the buckle*

A relief clearly shows as Elohanna relaxes, looking worn out from the last few hours.

"If there are still any questions I can answer. I would be happy to."

Thankfully with the preparations and the assistance of all those present, she doesn't seem nearly as drained, as she had the last time she tried this.

"You have my thanks for your aid, Kaelan and Emily. Hopefully we can arrange another meeting after everyone has had a chance to rest?" clearly in agreement with Andrew.

Following and working silently, Kaelan did his part. No comment, just silence and calm, controlled behavior. It was a time to learn new things, as quick and efficient as he could. No time for asking questions.

*The night comes as Andrew and Elly are escorted back to the Guildstore for resting, there are something in the enviroment that night, a feeling of acomplishment, maybe after so many nights a light in the end of the tunnel may be seen, The next day comes as a blessing, a good resting after the efforts of the last day comes well recieved *

*A couple of days pass as Emily is constantly visiting you and making preparations for the first searches, she seems particularly interested in the situation and brings with her a student of the bardic arts, a young man by name Aron Kir, when questioning about him, she says in a sober tone that she noticed that the need of someone "less studied" and more inately oriented is needed for the search, and he has her entire confidence upon the task at hand, she goes over the basics with you again about how to work and what to do during the rituals, the woman seems to be very methodic and its making documentation of the things learned and the questioning, She is far from experienced, but what lacks of experience she put up in attitude*

______________________________________________________________________________________

*The Silverhair is put aside once the meeting is over, the conversation beetwen the captain doesn't last much, and seems to have ended in good terms, Kaelan is put in licence of his regular duties of the guard in order to document and help in the investigation shall his help is needed*
