[ooc] I started to read the thread and then decided to stop as my character would know none of these clues and would have to learn them in game. Below is the roleplay I had with Einnol to involve me in this roleplay.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Zorbels rushes to the temple hearing that her good friend Einnol has been sick. Once he is in her sight see realises that he is indeed very sick. She notes that he is pale and coughing alot.
Einnol smiles "My spirit is lifted just to see you after all this time, my dear friend."
Zorbels looks at Einnol with tears at the brim of her eyes 'I cannot find satayne and I have decided to give up. My guild needs me and my friends I miss."
Einnol nods understandingly
Zorbels says: "What sickness do you have ennol?"
Zorbels says: "You seem so pale and weak."
Einnol takes a deep breath and sighs.
Zorbels looks worried "Is there anything I can do to fix it?"
Einnol says: At first, it seemed to be just a cold. It was not until the symptoms got much worse that the truth was revealed.
Einnol says: Do you remeber Janeous, the Laanx priest who caused so much trouble for the Vespers some time ago?
Einnol says: About the same time that the Theives of Yliakum were extorting money from the Vespers?
Zorbels says: "No but I have heard rumor of him."
Einnol says: Aye. He belives that he is following the will of Laanx, but overuse of his illegal compulsion glyth has driven him insane. Even his own congregation has rejected him now.
Zorbels frowns "But what does this have to do with your sickness? Did he do this to you." Zorbels face fills with rage.
Einnol nods "He started the spread of this illness."
Zorbels ear flick back and forth as she listens to every detail
Einnol says: He had taken Tria, the young apple vendor, and Lady Aeshion prisoner.
Zorbels says: "So this cloak gives him this power?"
Einnol says: Not quite.
Zorbels quiets and listens to einnol
Einnol says: The brown cloak is the neutral cloak. He would put it on either Tria or Aeshion .. or the Klyros who is now dead. He wore the black cloak. Upon casting a spell, he would appear to be the one under the brown cloak, while they looked like him. This allowed him to walk around Hydlaa and spy on us.
Zorbels stares at Einnol with wide eyes "Is it ... I mean can people catch your illness?"
Einnol holds the rag to his mouth and nods. "Tis quite contagious. You are at risk just being here.
Zorbels says: "So is there a cure or way to stop this maddness?"
Einnol says: [Read my description.] "His control over it is only possible because of the compulsion glyth. He can make it stronger or weaker. He can make it kill those infected if he chooses. He can also cure those that he chooses, like he did with the Vespers.
Zorbels shudders "That isn't good."
Einnol says: He wanted to divert suspicion to the Vespers by making their illness go away.
Zorbels says: "So what does he have against the ones who are sick?" "Just that they cast him out of his preisthood?"
Einnol says: His intention was to discredit and destroy the Vespers by making everyone think them responsible.
Zorbels nods
Einnol says: His congregation is on one of the lower levels. I forget which one.
Zorbels says: "Ok and has it worked? Do others believe the vespers to be responsible?"
Einnol says: It almost did. Many suspected the Vespers and believed his lies at first. Some were calling for Xillix's head. Just like he wanted. And now, he is insane. But, he still believes to follow Laanx's will."
Zorbels growls low in her throat "I hope none have dared to harm her."
Einnol shakes his head slowly "She is well." We discovered the truth and proved that it is he that is responsible."
Zorbels looks relieved "Oh thank goodness."
Einnol says: We did find and rescue Tria and Aeshion. But, we were too late to help the Klyros. Some days later, Janeous used the Klyros to ... to deliver a message to us. Einnol lower his head.
Zorbels says: "Is there a plan in action to stop this madness?'
Einnol says: We have a few ideas. He wants what we have ... the cloak .... and Aeshion.
Zorbels says: "May I join in and offer my hand at wahatever needs to be done to stop this?"
Einnol smiles "Your swords would by most welcome, milady." He has many tricks and deception is his ally. With enough help, perhaps we will prevail. Einnol coughs a few times.
Zorbels nods and curls up beside einnol to take a nap but not willing to leave his side knowing how ill he is. "I need to sleep after my long travels looking for Satayne. After I have had rest I would love to hear the plans that have been made to hopefuly defeat this virus and catch Janeous."
Zorbels drifts off to sleep not aware of her fur begining to shed or the virus that runs threw her veins.
