That will take time, but it is time I will spend to understand and answer these questions for you.”<br/><br/>Turning half to the side he made a wide sweeping gesture at the tree, “If you are looking for a way out, however, you see it before you. Akamobi is the gateway between this place and where you come from.” He explained. “I fear the sore that festers within him must be cleansed before a safe transition back to your home can be attempted. Perhaps I could guide you along the roots while it remains, but I could not promise your safety.” He paused and turned his attention to Lyra, speaking in a tongue that was not common, </span><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Sylvan</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">“I can feel the blood of the Ki’oal pumping through your veins, woodland daughter. I would ask that you do your people a great service, and honor the pact made by your people and the ancients so long ago. Free Akamobi from this vile force and you have my bonding word that I will discover the answers to your questions, and I will guide you safely back to your home.”</span></div></div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;"> before turning away to settle his eyes on the now armed Cordain and nodding his head. “If you were willing to enter Akamobi however, I could commune with the song and find the answers all of you want. By clearing the corruption you give me the time needed to do this for you, and open the path so that I can safely return you to your home.”<br/><br/>His eyes ripped away from the very quiet and contemplative Cordain and turned to Lana who had offered so much of her energy to him, “Already you have earned my gratitude, but I ask that you take the light of your patron a little further down this circumstance.” He said in a way that could only be softly. His attention drifted to Yziie for a moment, “The creature can be killed, but it has spawned in a way that makes it resistant and very effective against myself and others of my kind. I can’t be certain where it came from, that is what I was trying to determine when I was attacked by it.” He explained in a way that sounded almost sorrowful, “I ask that you enter Akamobi and purge the corruption from him. Free him from this blight so that he may continue to flourish, and so that it does not have the chance to spread further.”<br/><br/><br/></span><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">@Lana</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Andale Mono;">As you think back on these words you quickly realize that in your studies this was not the kind of information that you worried about. The term ‘Worldsong’ is vaguely reminiscent to you, but only just barely. You believe at one point a text that you glossed through, while looking for something else, referenced it and called it ‘the voice of the world’.<br/><br/>Full Result: EndofDivine rolled: 1d20, adding 2 to the total<br/>Comment: Religion check for Worldsong<br/>Result: 6, <br/>Total: 8<br/><br/>Full Result: EndofDivine rolled: 1d20, adding 2 to the total<br/>Comment: Religion check for Hyraxi<br/>Result: 4, <br/>Total: 6<br/></span></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">@Yziie</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Andale Mono;">While listening to the information offered by Lotan you find it difficult to get a read on him. Though he is humanoid his mannerisms are clearly very different than those of normal people. That said as you take your time to pick through the words and mull over alternate meanings, you don’t find yourself feeling any sort of malicious nature in the things that he’s saying. This creature strikes you as one that is likely above the normal definition of deceit.<br/><br/>When you shelf your potential doubts about what he is saying and take a moment to actually listen to the words themselves you find your heart skipping a beat. The Worldsong is said to by the magical hum created by the flow of the ley lines that surge through the entire world. The limited knowledge you have about this worldly force suggests that only some creatures that are particularly tethered to the world itself can hear it. One text that you’ve read called it the ‘voice of the world’, and it was suggested that the Worldsong was actually the way that Juneeha communicated, and only a very select few could hear its will.<br/></span></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">@Lyra</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Andale Mono;">The name of this place touches your ears but doesn’t spark any particular recollection, and given the very limited amount of space you can see of this place nothing stands out to you as familiar.<br/><br/>The Worldsong is somewhat well known to you however. You have never heard it yourself - until now - and until it was given the name it was impossible to tell that that was what it was. The most ancient druids of the Ki’oal sometimes go on a great pilgrimage so that they can connect with Juneeha and hear the Worldsong. However it has been several elven generations since anyone has succeeded at it. The song is a force that resonates through the world, created by the ambient magics of the ley lines and their hum. In a sense the song is a way in which the world can directly communicate to those that can hear it. Further a combination of this realization and Lotan’s name sparks recognition in you. This is a name you have heard once before, whispered on the winds in Annifos. Lotan is an <strong>ancient</strong>, a guardian of the world. The ancients are rare and though little is known about them they are said to be tied to the lifeforce of Juneeha directly - servants of the Worldsong.</span></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">@Silvassa</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Andale Mono;">It is not a common term, Worldsong, but none the less in your studies and travels it is one that you have heard. Details are on the scarce side but you have heard that it is the hum given off the by the flow of the leylines that span the entire planet, and that some creatures can communicate with this song - essentially listening to the world itself.<br/></span></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">@Everyone</div><div class="spoiler_body">Please be certain as you are making rolls to send them to me. The ID is in the announcement threads if you lost it. Also make sure in your comments you’re being specific about what rolls are for. “Arcana on the term Worldsong”, “Insight, with ring of lies for advantage”, etc etc. This way I don’t have to do a bunch of guessing about what any given roll is for, or how it is happening, etc. Thanks!<br/></div></div><br/><br/><hr/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 20pt;"><strong>Game Master</strong></span></span></div><hr/>
