[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene 12a: The Mystic Responds & Battle Begins!

[Loran]

All along the way to the Mystic, Azhur has feared such moment of madness, where all the differences between the members of the fellowship will have to build a common answer to the weirdness of the cursed people of Telmoria.

When the words of the mystic began to sound angry, he gave his orders to his squire :
- “Othor! Be ready to protect our women and to use the horses…”

But when he had to draw his sword, he understood finally why the Daymare blades where made of pure magic silver… Daymare were werewolves slayers since Talor’s time!

As the beasts were charging and strange magic launched from his own side, he took his decision:
Perhaps intrepidly, but bravely and combatively, because he knew how to play with several foes, he clutched his bejeweled talisman and liberated the second secret spell of the Sparrowhawk’s knightly order.

In a Paralyzing Shrieking Dive, he stunned the werewolves in front of him and jumped on the furious Mystic, trying to capture him with a menacing enchanted silver blade against his throat. His will was to stop all this fury, but if bloodshed was inevitable, then Azhur will try to retreat to the safe and mysterious ways of Aalmon the Rider with the Mystic under his guard.

Azhur was just learning that nothing was as simple as it seemed, but Talor, been no friend of Arkat the Troll, couldn't have anything to do with the wicked magic of the creation of Wilkairtha and if he was a such Chaos cursing sorcerer, we would have use this power more often than just on the Telmori… So the mystic was lying or been mistaken, but his words: ”It will take a HeroQuest to rescue Wilkairtha from his Cursed existence and Form” were retaining the Azhur’s arms as surely as iron bonds. The Mystic would have to understand that his own life was pending only on this sentence.

Finally when he met Karala, he knew he had assist her. In general, any blade on the throat helps to consider the high value of life and of collaborating fast answers…

As chaos erupted around her, Karala stepped out of the protective  
circle of her friends, her Wolf a snarling protector, and approached  
the furious Mystic. Placing her little pipe to her lips, she tinkled,

"I am Karala-Walks-With the-Great-Wolf and I am wierded to save your  
People, though it will cost me dear. I have known this since  
childhood. Do you, Mystic, not recognise my Protecter, my Predator?"
