Home Again, Home Again
HArlan is still gripping a woodsmans axe.
Tala runs to him and garbs hime. He opens his eyes and realises his sister is here. He starts to cough up blood, but says told you Id find you. Salus prforms first aid on harlan, she realises his woundsa are terrible but somehow he has survived. he's in severe shock but oddly strong, She fees a faint blue light running along his veins. She heals him and he feels much improved. He finally let's go of the axe. A runs to Tala. HArlan looks to all of us and thanks us. He asks what he can do for us. Guru asks what happened. Harlan says the roots came from below, up throught the ground far too many anywhere. A asks where this happens Harlan says thatwatchtower and says it started with the pulse. He looks really scared and says like the world's heartbeat. Guru asks who else was here. H says Jon, elias and merrin didn't make it. H says they were take . Aeths says Taken where. H says they went staight down like somethine underground. Guru looks rounds but sees nothing.
A reminds them of the pit near the sled and H says that's where they were taken. A talks to Tala and asks why she ran out of the house
Aeths and Seb see harlans left hand twitch, almost rhtymically. as though he's matching something beneath the ground, it feels alive but alian to us. Doesn't seem like possession. Guru loos for a magical link with his tremor, something is in Harlan, he perceives an incredibly brief flicker within him. It flickers briefly then fades. It stays the same as we leave the area. Guru mnitors using sustain magic, doesn't behave like a spell, Guru can id the school, the pulse originates in his chest but seems to answer to something seems far away .
Harlan doesn't know how he got there but he felt something take him under ground, then next thing he knows is that he was here.
Guru is worried that he is transforming and is worried about taking him back to the town. There is also a small lodge by the watchtower
Guru looks for Magic on Tala and sees nothing. No aura or pulsing info or anything. Guru looks in the lodge.
A asks why Tala ran out from her house, what scared her so much. Also she said she heard voices, what were they
She can't rmeber leavingg the house next thing she rmebers is the door being kiccked in. A gently asks about the voices T looks to the old forest but says she isn't sure but she thought it was Harlan, then she heard voices of a woman and child crying for hlep. She can't hear anyhting now. A asks what the last thing Tala remembers - it's being put to bed by her mum.
a looks at Tala's feet, but she seems to be phyically ffine. Her clothes seems only faintly damaged but there are no signs of her being taken under ground. A watches Tala but sees nothing more tah a frail scared, little girl.
