Moments in the Sun

[Ginrai]

"Well, currently we're under the impression that there's a traitor within the castle because of how the Dreadmarch general completely ignored one of the fighters that was disguised as an Archon.  It's important that we're able to find out who it is before it could cause any more problems."

[Brian]

"Yeah," he says slowly, frowning.  "A traitor could be problematic."  He thinks about this for a while.  "Any ideas of how to find them?"

[Ginrai]

Ginrai shakes his head.  "Not at this moment, sorry."  Thinking over something he had wanted to ask earlier, he says, "By the way, what were you writing before we arrived and how much do you know about your former self or those he associates himself with?"

[Brian]

"I was working on a spell," he says, frowning.  "I can't ... pull much of my ... host's strength, yet.  I need to use things that are set up in advance, so I thought I'd work on assembling the spells I'd want to use tomorrow, today."  He shows you the paper -- which means nothing at all to you, Devin, or Astryd.  It looks like a wildly assorted collection of almost entirely random shapes and symbols, though they do look painstakingly hand-penned with his feather quill.

"And Serril kept a journal, so it was pretty easy to learn about him," he adds, putting the paper back on the desk.

[Ginrai]

"Was there anything about him that was strange?"

[Brian]

"Quite a few things," he says, frowning.  "He kept a detailed journal.  Also, he used magic.  A lot.  Being from one world, it's difficult to make judgements on what is and is not usual when you arrive on a new one."

[Ginrai]

"You're lucky that your other self kept a log.  I have absolutely no idea what my other self was involved in before I arrived."

Sighing, Ginrai continues.  "What I'm about to say can't, under any circumstances, be mentioned to others who aren't from my world.  Before the start of the first night Radagast mentioned to both me and Durant that, because the both of us were for some reason at the temple of Hammar during the time of the former priestess' death, that one of our other selves is likely the one who murdered her.  If that's the case then there's a good chance that the traitor might know whomever was involved and possibly meet with them later on.

"Furthermore," Ginrai takes out his pendant, "this seems to be something that once belonged to the late Windmaster Banor."

[Brian]

"Well, that's ... nice," Serril says slowly, frowning.  "Why are you telling me this?"

"Or me?" Devin asks, frowning.

[Ginrai]

Ginrai shrugs.  "Just wanted to mention that there's a small possibility the traitor might approach either me or Durant.  Other than that I don't have anything else to say."

[Brian]

"...okay," Astryd says, visibly preturbed.  "Regardless....  We should probably get some rest.  Tomorrow's going to be another busy day."

[Ginrai]

Ginrai nods.  To Devin and Astryd he says, "Sorry about all this.  I realize that some of what me and Serril have talked about must have been confusing."

[Brian]

"I understood enough," Astryd replies.

[Ginrai]

"Well, then, I'll see you all during the battle."  Ginrai heads off to his room.

[Brian]

And a restful night of sleep is had.

[Brian]

You're woken by a knock at your door, and summoned to another meeting with Lord Kevin.
