'''ADAM!!  FYI - I PROMISE YOU that I did not read your entire dream message, before KNOWING the outcome of WHO you were communicating with.  I don't want you to think I turned something on you unfairly!!'''

The head of that which was formerly the form of the Danisil Master of Eyes, whips up to look you at you.  Your black eyes to HIS unblackened eyes and burned face.  '''''"Ghulvenne... I did not know you trusted me with such a boon.  It sounds... devilish in nature Southman, I wonder whatever must you mean?  As luck would have it I studied with the worshippers of the Terrod host below the Arunath peaks in the Sunken Place.  When the weather of the current storms lessen I shall have to make a pilgrimage and learn how it is I might make use of this new trinket you have given me Ghulvenne.  <br> <br> By the by.  Give my love to your little whore, I understand your lovely daughter is the only thing that escaped poor rotting Master Azam'han's wrath.  I've been told that she has been instrumental in the experiments in resurrection necessary for the master's plot..."'''''  A sunken face of evil looks to yours and smiles.  This is not Sovaliss, this is not the spymaster you knew.  This is a new sort of 'Eye Master...  And his melted brow dips with a wink as the dream begins to fade... <br> <br>  '''''"...thank you Kepak Za'al, thank you for those words of faith.

The smell of sulphur and roses fills the dreamscape as realization strikes, dark magic stirring hungrily. Suddenly huge and menacing two great black eyes, bottomless, merciless and terrible glare down and a voice from nowhere shatters the cloying silence. {This is definately an intimidate check}
 
 
"Laugh while you may Stormstrider, Bitch of Shadows, blind master of rotting eyes! Your identity is '''known''', and vengeance shall be unceasing. Whatever strength you once had was in shadows and secrets, and now the corruption has a name, and a face, and a poxied, flaccid form that can be cut away like the parasite it is. You disgust me Stormstrider, and your feeble machinations will end soon enough. Do not forget that we posess something of '''Tremendous''' value to you, and it would be a shame if our plans necessitated it's destruction.
 
 
''Dera Vienak! Dera Gulhk! Dera tak'Nakal!'' (In the unlikely case Vrolk speaks this particular sundered tongue (abyssal), I'll give you the translation "Death to your Life, Death to your Blood, Death to your (pathetic excuse for) Power {I Imagine the prefix 'tak' meaning something like the english 'un-' except in the extreme derogatory sense})
 
 
 
 
==Questions==
 
Two things.
 
 
:1.  Did Vrolk (as I have no doubt that that is who that was... the  'pretty again' and 'my spire' comments clinched it.) somehow intercept my dream in it's entirety? [I won't question that this is not rules-possible, I'll roll with it] If so.. sucks to be me. If not, I definately would've tempered my responses somewhat. If I understand correctly, Aradil was 'there' but somehow Vrolk interposed himself between my mind and hers? Eithin in the guise of Sovliss, or perhaps posessing her? Could I get any further impressions of the relationships of the players; i.e. was Aradil watching? Is she totally cut off from contact? Was it vrolk the whole time, disguised? Did he look undead or alive?
 
 
::  '''ANSWER''':  The dream wasn't "intercepted", what happened IS rules-possible.  You can have no idea if Aradil was "there" unfortunately, unless you can think of a way you'd "know".  Yes, your thought of possessing Sovaliss might be accurate.  The only guess YOU could make is that this other person was watching for such contacts, just like Sovaliss would have been responsible for.  You get the impression that it was the same person the whole time, just masked in disguise/shadow.  Definately "alive".
 
 
:2.  I totally believe that you didn't set me up. I still hate you. :P
 
 
::  '''ANSWER''':  Good, 'cause I honestly did not read your reply.  And then was reading/replying as I went, and hit THAT bombshell of you revealing your Truename... and WOW!!  I hope that doesn't discourage you from being "trusting" like that again.  This was just an ODD situation as it happened.  It might also give you a little lesson to be aware of infiltrators prior to dropping secrets.
 
 
 
Well written overall though!
