Midnight RPG - Chapter 32.103

Setting

In the hill fort of Firsthold, during one of the first days there.

Conversation

Kyuad seeks out Zal'Kazzir to ask him some questions. With Kyuad is Nisse. Kyuad makes no attempts to prevent the vile Belal from joining in.

Kyuad

Kyuad approaches Zal'Kazzir during a time when they could have some relative privacy. "Zal'Kazzir, could I speak with you a moment please? It concerns Faravor, the winged giant who was with you when we arrived."

(Assuming the conversation can continue:)

Knowledge (spirits) check to determine if Kyuad knows enough to identify Faravor as an angel. Modifier: +21 - Is the creature good? Chaotic? What can Kyuad assume about the type of creature?

"From where did Faravor come? Is he the result of your summons, as the others have told me? What do you know of his history, where his allegiances lie, and for whom he might be operating?" Kyuad has a concerned look on his face, as if calculating something. "I'm not sure that he can be trusted."

Zal'Kazzir

Ushering Kyuad into the pseudo-privacy of Durn's old bedchamber and solidly closing the heavy wooden door, Zal'Kazzir begins to speak. "Yes, my Friend, the others have told you true; Faravor was summoned by me, and if you have a concern, I, also am concerned. Please. Sit."

I'm sure that with the 25+ roll Kyuad would've gotten on a lorebook check, he could Identify a few basic things about Faravor (I'll leave it entirely to Kevin as to which details he wants to provide) Faravor is an Eladrin; a Chaotic and Good Trapped Spirit. He is of a Type called Bralani, who are the angels of freedom; i.e. they liberate slaves, free the oppressed, etc.

Once both he and Kyuad are seated at the small table, Zal'Kazzir continues, his demeanor showing concern and his mind clearly racing, looking for flaws or faults he has missed. "As far as I know, and my knowledge is circumstantial, he has been trapped as a disembodied spirit for something like the last 10,000 years. His alliegences are to his ideals as far as I can gather, and he seems distinctly difficult to deceive or manipulate... unless he wishes to be. If he has some other master, or an ulterior alliegence, it has been beyond my ability to determine, and I admit I am at a loss to see whom he might serve. I am not sure if you know the whole story about Faravor, but it is worth mentioning that Faravor aids us willingly, and he is under no duress and is not being controlled in any way. His kind is nearly impossible to enchant or control, and if he were Ardherin's creature, he could have had us in his power on a dozen occasions, had he desired it.

Pausing briefly, thinking, Zal'Kazzir turns back to Kyuad and finishes his thought; "...what is it that worries you?"

Kyuad

In reply, "Anything that does not die troubles me. Transitions are my specialty, and the beings of the old gods do not transition at all. They either have form, or do not. Anything could be accomplished by one such as this, and it is always we mortals who pay the price. We should do whatever we can to determine when he last existed physically on Aryth, and if he has had any contact with other spirits in the time hence. This will make all the difference."

Looking around, Kyuad says, "And what of the assistant with the handy backside?" With a smirk and a teasing tone, "Speaking of undying creatures I don't trust..."
