You hide well and hear the cries of the Hags for almost a minute before there is silence.
After a few minutes you poke your head out and notice that bodies are missing, then suddenly you feel sleepy and fall asleep.
As you dream, you see everything in a grey scale color and see a city and it is raining. Inside of the city you see two points of colour one red and one blue, and go to the Red one. When you arrive at the point you see a tall, curvy, and beautiful woman walking and talking with people; most people rebuff her words and some of the men make advances on her and quickly learn she's not an easy target for their lustful desires.
After a while of attempting to talk with people does she have a deeply saddened face.
See says to herself
"Not even 10 righteous people exist in this town, so the Judgement shall be done."
she looks up and says something
"I pray Mr Hildrinsocks and the rest get out of here, for I've done what I could to postpone this judgement to let those few righteous folk here have time to escape."
You feel like you wake up and see your in a building in ruins at night, and see a winged woman facing you
and says to you
"Wake up, Mr Summers. You have a job to do, and need to learn not to walk the path of sin or you'll be getting punished, and I might not be the one that does it.
You also need to stop generating debt in the Brothels, and going back to having fun among your own kind.
You helped those two even though you were outmatched so I gave you a hand and saved you."

and says to you
"Wake up, Priestss of the Inheritor, you have a job to do. You helped those two even though you were outmatched so I gave you a hand and saved you. But be wary of the evil that is lightly sleeping below the monastery for it can unleash an army of darkness"
You notice something in the distance a spot of light and it is a building of light.
The Winged woman looks to where your looking then faces you again and adds
"Ah You can see the Throneroom of my lords, whom even allow one lowly such as I an opportunity for redemption and to work for him.
If you can see it, it means my Lords may be wanting you to see something or know something.
So do you wish to see the Throneroom or ask one question?
This question can be about; The Man in Blue, The Woman in Red, Myself, any question related to your current task or anything about Falcon's Hollow itself"

and says to you
"Wake up Mr Holdfast, you have a job to do. You helped those two even though you were outmatched so I gave you a hand and saved you. Though I'll say this watch out how you use your magic for certain uses are an affront to my Lords. You use your gifts for yourself and you may find yourself without grace."
---------------------------------------
As your unconscious, you see everything in a grey scale color and see a city and it is raining. Inside of the city you see two points of colour one red and one blue, and go to the Blue one. When you arrive at the point you see a tall, man wearing a blue and white cloak and hood walking around taking note of everything happening around him and the people don't notice him.
He suddenly encounters a male gnome and says to the gnome as he passes by.
"The Judgement has been decided, If I were you Mr Hildrinsocks I'd leave and not return."
as he continues walking he says to himself
"The Law is the Law. For Sin there is punishment. I know you tried to find 10 righteous people here and failed, even going so far as to try putting some on the path to redemption to stop the Judgement."
You feel like you wake up to a beautiful woman kissing you she pulls back and you can see her beautiful face and her chest and her replies.
"Ah, looks like your awake and your strength is restored."
She then pulls back even further and see a she's a winged woman. She then faces you she says to you
"Good to see your fully Healed up Mr Droven, you have a job to do. You helped those two even though you were outmatched so I gave you a hand and saved you. You have had a hard life and my Lords wish to see you Happy and rewarded. They also see greatness in you and wish not that your line perish. For your one of the few that serves the people in the Hollow and tries to keep things right even when things go bad.
And there are many possible brides in the Hollow what can be faithful wives."
she pauses for a moment
"I'll even list a few there's; Mary, Lady Cirthana, Joanne, heck even Vona and Eve whom you just rescued."
she then walks up and hold you and adds
"Though if you choose not to marry, I might visit you in a dream."
---------------------------------------
"That judgement came to pass about over a decade a ago.
The Judgement was given since the whole town fell into sin and vice and the righteous were perishing.
My Lords could not stand for it anymore and ordered the city's destruction.
My Lords even gave them the sign of Jonah as a warning to repent and to walk the path of redemption, but did not repent or even try to walk the path of redemption in those 40 days after the sign was given.
He then gave few righteous people there time to escape.
The only way to avert this level of Judgement is to have the town walk the path of redemption and remove or redeem the fallen and corrupt."
after a pause
"My Lords then cursed the land of the city so that no one may profit from it. For the sulphur my Lords made and used for the city's destruction is 99% pure sulphur, all other sulphur deposits are at most 48% pure.
And with it being made by my Lords it would be a very powerful material to be used with arcane spells."
Darion responds or the red woman if that is possible
"Your welcome.
Now Watch well for some who had the absolute best of intentions have done some of the darkest deeds known to all.
But at least you acknowledge your a number of your failings and know of some of the dangers on your path,
but be warned the worst dangers appear harmless.
Know there were those with pride whom have and will be humbled, while the humble were and shall be exalted."
after a moment she continues
Ah, you also have questions of your mentor, I see.
Your mentor was kicked out of Ustalav, for he did some awful things.
Now he did try to walk a good path and did for a while, but his shadow did not like that.
Boreas thinks to himself, the Satyr in honest contemplation.
But I like the brothels and the gambling dens. I like spending time with Kabran and his jokes, and with Mr. Hildrinsocks and all the great pleasures he has shared with me. I like being with them...
I know! I will have to warn them to get out of the town before this happens! I need to look out for my friends :)
The Satyr replies to the winged woman
A job? Is that the same job that Kabran sent me on? To cure the well of the Black-somethingorother thingy?
Sure thing! I can do that, I can!
Summers gives a bow, then looks up again.
Thankya kindly for saving me as well. Your powerful, I can tell that much. Are you of the same as the Eternal Monarchs?
The Satyr means no disrespect and is simply inquiring, as he believes is proper.
When he has a moment, he turns to the tall, fair skinned ex-hostage and winks at her.
Names Mr. Summers. Yours, m'lady?
While he does not recognize the gnome he sees in his vision, he heard the name “Hildrinsocks” spoken by his allies. Furthermore, the matters of law, sin, punishment, and righteousness haunt the sailor, who has spent his life too frightened to truly take a real stand for anything.
The beautiful, winged woman’s kiss exchanges Corindus’ fear for bewilderment. Although he remains unsure where he sits between sleep and wakefulness, he feels a burning blush overtake his face. Too stunned to speak, the discussion of marriage stokes the shy flames of embarrassment further, although an eagerly burning ember of hope lies at the heart of that fire.
Finally, the winged woman’s embrace and offer of dreams yet to come send Corindus’ consciousness reeling back into the gray. Having spent the surreal meeting awkwardly mute, he seeks wakefulness to make sense of what has happened.

You drift deeper into unconscious and again in grey scale see something.
You see a Throneroom under the earth carved from the very rock that makes it's side. There are many dwarves there and the room is thrice as long as it is wide. You can see A large statue of Torag behind the throne.
Over the doorway behind you in two coloumns you see Shelyn and Kurgess.
And carved into the two coloumns on the throne's left are Iomedae and Aroden, to the Throne's right carved into the two coloumns are a beautiful and curvy woman standing and offering prayer and a Man that looks exactly like the man in blue you saw before, but now he holds two stone tablets each with writing, and there is a steel scale at his feet.
It looks as if there is a trial going on and the king signaled for the scale to be brought to the middle pedestal before the Dwarven King.
The King and another opposite of him exchange words, and then you notice the scale moves and not by an hand as there is no one within 20 ft of the scale. Just looking at the scale you can feel a might will influencing it, one that causes even the dwarves closest to it to kneel as if in the presence of one with near absolute sovereignty.
You can now feel the weight of your past; sins, shames, and regrets.
Yet you can feel a force helping you with that weight.
You hear a whisper
"He who as an ear let him hear, He who has an eye let him see.
Look to the tablets of the commandments and know the Law, and the punishment of the Law.
But know that is not all the Law set forth."
You instinctively look to the Man of blue's statue and his two tablets and can read few lines on one of the tablets;
Thou shall not Murder, Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Now can feel their weight against you as you recall what you did,
Though you know one was needed to help escape from that Cheliaxian ship and he did deserve it since he was a real scumbag.
Now you wake up at daybreak in the same ruins you dreamed that had the winged woman.
Your even completely healed and not weak in strength.
You even see the two hostages waking up and they introduce themselves.
The tall, strong, and dark haired Ulfen looking one calls herself Vona.
The curvy greenish haired Varisian looking one calls herself Eve.
"That I can't say since simple actions can cause giant ripples."

The Satyr means no disrespect and is simply inquiring, as he believes is proper.
She replies
"I'm not an Eternal Monarch, and you need not warn those with what you saw since it was the past.And don't think of saving Mr Kabran as he is one of the most UNrighteous men in the Hollow, and lead you to pleasures that poison the soul and spirit.
Mr. Hildrinsocks on the Other hand has been walking a path of redemption and only introduced you to a light mead, cheese and simple pleasures."
Now you wake up at daybreak in the same ruins you dreamed that had the winged woman.
Your even completely healed and not weak in strength.
You even see the two hostages waking up and they introduce themselves.
The tall, strong, and dark haired Ulfen looking one calls herself Vona.
The curvy greenish haired Varisian looking one calls herself Eve.
When his eyes open, Corindus snaps up quickly. He gropes through the long grass for his cutlass hilt and scans frantically across the ruins.
Finding no hags, no witches, and only his allies and the hostages waking, the sailor eases his tensed muscles and sheathes his blade.
He walks over to help up Vona and Eve, but he manages only a moment of composure. Glimpses of their exposed skin, alternately muscled and curvy, recall the words spoken by the winged woman in his strange dream.
Barely a moment after helping Eve to her feet beside Vona, Corindus turns aside, blushing fiercely.
"Um, miss...erm, misses? Are you hurt?" he stammers.
"There is nothing more for the moment, but heed the warnings."
Now you wake up at daybreak in the same ruins you dreamed that had the winged woman.
Your even completely healed and not weak in strength.
You even see the two hostages waking up and they introduce themselves.
The tall, strong, and dark haired Ulfen looking one calls herself Vona.
The curvy greenish haired Varisian looking one calls herself Eve.
As you all wake up and note the ruins, you can see the stone black floor and stone block walls, and two statues on pedestals facing each other near their respective walls.
One of a Man with a tablet in each arm, and a Woman standing and offering prayer.
The Rat's Tail that you need is between them.
Vona:
The 6 Foot 6 strong woman shyly replies to Corindus
"No, I'm fine thank you."
Eve:
The 5 Foot 9 beauty replies and gets brazenly close to Corindus
"I'm perfectly fine, and aren't you the fine gentleman.
And your a bit of a cutie..."
Darion eyes the rats tale, contemplating if there is a trap or not. However before considering taking it he feels as if it is proper to address the ladies
”Hello ladies, it is good to hear that you are well. Are you well enough to answer some questions? Like what are you doing here? How did you get here? Are you able to travel? We are on a quest to locate some ingredients that are needed to create a cure for Falcons Hollow folks you are welcome to accompany us if you like but likely it will be dangerous. Our quest is urgent though so unfortunately we don’t have time to escort you home.”
Darion politely states these things while approaching the ladies with his cloak outstretched in his hands. He offers it as a covering, while trying hard to focus his eyes on their faces instead of their naked bodies
Vona:
Vona backs up and hides behind a standing pillar as if she can't completely trust folks and or is too embarrassed with her current attire.
Though her peering from behind it with a blush on her face does hint the embarrassed state well.
Eve:
Eve sees Darion offering his cloak and then looks at Vona then replies
"I don't think she can trust men all that much or is too embarrassed at the moment."
Eve looks back at Darion and brazenly walks too him with her current attire
"You sure are asking some hard questions, and right after those hags were about to do something to us.
Haven't you figured out one of the answers that should of been obvious.
Though if your on an urgent quest, and short on time it is somewhat understandable."
With all the courage he can muster Darion responds to Eve, While he casually walks near to the pillar that Vona is hiding behind. He turns to face Eve while holding the cloak out towards Vona behind him waiting until she takes it until he moves back towards Eve and then says in an inquisitive intellectual tone ”I’m sorry I meant no offense, but the questions I asked are hardly difficult to answer. And I never assume the obvious. But while assumptions are being assumed I’ll venture a guess that you and shy miss Vona here we’re likely the human sacrifices for some dastardly evil ritual, am I right? As to my other questions the one most pressing is can you travel and if so are you willing to travel with us despite the likely danger that our quest presents? If not are the two of you well enough off that you can make it back to the lumber camps, and then back to the town?”
Vona:
Vona reaches out and grabs the cloak using it to cover herself up more.
and shyly adds
"...Thank you...."
Eve:
Eve replies with confidence even with her current attire
"No need for apologies, Your right in that the questions are not hard logically,
but asking in the after emotional crap that happen is what makes the questions hard.
How the heck do I know that they were planning to do with us, sacrifice would be a very likely one, heck they could of wanted to eat us, or even something else.
As for travel I think we're fine, though we'd both need to decide on that."
Guilty memories rebuff Corindus, so he leaves Darion to speak with Vona and Eve. Recovering his hatchet, he retreats into the shade of the ruins to retrieve the Rat's Tail but pauses between the two statues.
Under their stony gaze, he feels an all too familiar weight upon him. He had escaped the slave ship years before, but the cost meant he still felt lost at sea. His life ever since had been defined by the steps he took away from his past, away from his guilt, but Corindus had never been quite sure in what direction those steps took him.
Now he grapples with a new conundrum. The imagery and messages in his dream were puzzling, yet he now feels closer to a purpose than ever before.
Opening his pack, he empties a bundle of dried fruit and jerky onto the plate from his mess kit. Corindus then uses the cheesecloth from the rations to wrap the Rat's Tail, which he stows in his pack, then tucks into the food laid out.
Theirs had been a long journey already, and it was only just beginning.
All of you can roll a perception followed by a knowledge(Local) check.
based on what you've done variable modifiers will be added.
"In any case, I'm glad to see that everyone survived that experience. As Darion said, we must press further into the forest. If you wish to accompany us on our quest or camp with us this evening, you are welcome to do so. If not, is there anything we can do for your before we part ways?"
Kinshara eyes the two statues warily, still uncertain what to make of her vision or of recent events.
Darion is a know it all on this topic but is still focused on that situation with Eve and Vona
So far Darion and Kinshara don't notice it.
Corindus is still too absorbed in his memories, both recent and older, to be very observant. He can be really dense sometimes.
Eve:
"After we have something to eat me and Vona can decide on what to do, since we had a fun time escaping the Hags before they caught us again.
We've had little to eat for the past two days.
Though that voice did guide us to some small cave where we did find our current attire which oddly fit us and the hags didn't bother wrecking."
Vona:
Vona walks out from behind the pillar with the cloak covering her.
As she speaks there is blush in her face.
"yes that voice was sweet guiding us away from the hags and to that small cave.
Though the clothes weren't great they were better then the rags we had left.
So I thank you for saving us."
Mr Summers approaches the two ladies
"Hello, I'm Boreas Summers.
And it was a pleasure to save yea."
Corindus opens his pack again, retrieving two more bundles of dried food.
"Here. I can't speak for it's taste, but it's filling," he says, offering the cheesecloth-wrapped food to Eve and Vona. "Where was this cave? And I hope this isn't prying too much, but what brought you two out into the forest in the first place?
Eve:
Eve takes one of the food rations
"Unfortunately the Hags found the cave near in the afternoon and we were running for over what felt like 3 hours before we were caught and brought back to that spot.
I was in a cavavan passing near the vale before it was attack by some big wolves, was forced to run from the area to save myself as the wolves took out the few guards we had, and I got lost in the woods for a few days before the hags found me."
Vona:
Vona takes the other food ration
"I can't recall the way back to the cave as we were focused on running and hiding."
Vona looks somewhat depressed
"As for what brought me here I can't really say...."
So far Darion and Kinshara don't notice it.
The Light fog in the Vale starts disappearing as the sun rises ever higher.
You all have a quick meal for the day a head will be a long one.
Vona and Eve talk with each other deciding if they should travel with you or not.
Eve:
"May I ask, how you planning your route so we can finish deciding if we're going to travel with you?"
"We're heading westward, bound first for the oldest tree in the forest, and then towards the dwarven ruins at the mountain's foot.
"It will be another day or two before we return to the Hollow, traveling by the river."
Corindus keeps his eyes turned to the statues as he speaks, but upon realizing he never introduced himself, he sharply turns toward Eve.
"You may call me Corin, by the way," he says quickly.
After a moment of eye contact, though, he averts his face again. He also purses his lips shut, worried she saw his missing teeth and found him disgusting.
Vona:
Vona replies with some blush on her face
"Thanks for saving us Corin..."
Eve:
Eve replies
"Well Corin. That sounds like quite the trip....
What's the point of the tree and the ruins?
Heck aren't we at some ruins already?"
Vona:
Vona adds
"Your returning by the river, So you know that a boat is docked there?"
"A boat? That must be Mary, waiting to ferry us back to the Hollow when we're finished. There's a sickness sweeping through the town, and we're out here collecting rare ingredients for a cure. That's why we're heading for the tree and the old monastery."
Corindus does his best to remain polite despite keeping his eyes downcast and his mouth drawn tight in an inadvertently severe expression.
Vona:
"Oh my lord, I pray it has not effected as many as I am starting to imagine.
I pray that no one else gets it and that this cure your going for works."
after a few seconds she adds
"So, there is a boat. I was thinking of a boat tied to an old dock. But a ferry, that sound better then I thought,...."
Then blushes with some embarrassment and some concern
"but given Ferries are generally have a lot of men on then and given our current attire it may cause problems."
Eve:
"Oh crap baskets, I hope it's not as big as Vona is thinking."
Then faces and replies to Vona
"I think you missed the part where Corin mentioned Mary, so I don't think it'll be loaded with man with ill intent."
Eve then turns to Corin
"Judging by the way you said Mary, she sounds like a close friend or could it be more then that....hmm.....is she your girlfriend?"
Vona:
Vona's face turns red as she does a spit take when Eve asks about Corin and Mary's relationship.
then adds quietly as if also trying to calm down
"That's a bit too forward and rude, Eve."
