[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9298403, member: 20459"] [I][B]JENDI [/B]watches the murmuration of the crows, almost bewitched by the beauty of the movement. The sounds, while loud, soothes him after his long day of travel and travail. Echoes of sounds he has heard in his dreams, songs sung by and to his Duskqueen. A sharp movement next to him draws his attention first to Mylistra, then to young Nemo. Neither seems particularly soothed by the sounds, and both watch the swooping and diving of the birds with looks of extreme unease, perhaps even distress. A glance at his sister reveals that she, too, is not enjoying the performance and lullaby. But he, the Raven Queen's soldier, recognizes it for what it is: her blessing and protection. She has clearly sent these birds to reward them in their trials thus far. But perhaps the crows do not need to be quite so loud, quite so exuberant? The elfling stands and walks into the center of the clearing. Looking up at the glorious dance of feather accompanied by the percussive symphony of crow-song, he lifts up his arms, palms up, and quietly speaks to his Patron: "My Lady, you honor us with this splendid evidence of your praise and protection! I thank You! You are all that I adore, all that I follow, and I see this dark blessing for what it is: encouragement for more acts of bravery, praise for following your demands. I am yours to will. [I]"But my companions are weary and unaccustomed such strong displays, however great and wonderous they might be. Might the murmuration become more sleepy and the symphony more ... murmurs, to soothe them and bring them succor in rest. I will listen to your music in my own rest. Again, I thank You.[/I]" ... Jendi's companion stare at him as he moves away from the fire and into the center of the clearing, directly under the terrifying dance of the murder of crows (murders?). When he lifts his arms, Toriq makes a move to get up and follow, but Mylistra's hand on her own stops her. The witch points upward, and they watch the wild dance of feathers calm down--not stop entirely, but slow down significantly. Similarly the cacophony of sound slowly becomes a gentle murmur. The two women look at each other in astonishment. Nemo uncovers his ears in wonder. Then, the young warlock returns to the fire, unfolds his bedroll, and lies down.[/I] [HR][/HR] * Jendi makes a Secondary Skill Religion check to recognize that this display is from The Raven Queen and is a sign of Her approval: +9 = Autosuccess vs. 9 Easy DC for a + 2 bonus to * his Primary Skill Diplomacy check to persuade Her to tone down Her birds a bit so that his companions can get the rest they need: +14+2 = Autosuccess vs. 13 Moderate DC. Success. [/QUOTE]
