After making sure all her things are gathered and put away, Pursuit nods in agreement. Afterwards, she leaves the room to go get a room at the inn.

Pursuit grabs the notes left out due to the sudden nature of the attack and puts them away. She then looks to Shaani. {"We should hurry to our next destination. If the prophet and his assistant were attacked, the Queen could be in danger as well."}
Intending to finish off the last monster, Pursuit turns towards it. She mutters an incantation as she thrusts her right hand towards the Nothic. A ghostly looking skeletal hand appears at the Nothic's location and attempts to grab onto it. Cantrip: Chilling Touch
Pursuit turns to the Nothic on the ground, seeing Shaani getting the second Nothic's attention, and fires yet another repelling eldritch blast. Each hit will send the Nothic flying back up to 10 feet.
Pursuit quickly gets up and fires an eldritch blast at the creature. Casting Cantrip: Eldritch Blast
Each hit will cause the creature to get pushed back up to 10 feet
"Whatever is chosen is fine." Pursuit looks at Jeremiah and "speaks" {May I keep these notes?}
"Thank you." Pursuit takes the notes and moves to the side with them, sitting down cross-legged as she takes her own notes and starts cross-referencing what she knows with what is happening. As she looks through the notes, her idea of who is responsible becomes more solidified. She isn't sure enough of the culprit to reveal her thoughts, though. She merely continues to look through Jeremiah's and her own notes for the time being.
Pursuit moves closer to the table, stopping right in front of the map and begins to look over the pattern of the shaded in sections. "Hmm... Not yellow sign." As she finishes speaking the spread's pattern hits her as vaguely familiar. "I may have an idea. Let me see notes you have written on the curse, I must be certain." After asking for Jeremiah's notes, she begins to get out her own notes from her research. There are some particular documents and writing she will want to cross-reference with his writings.
Pursuit turns to Jeremiah after speaking to Shaani, and "speaks" to him. She may be ready to speak normally, but it is far easier to talk with her mind. {Where is this queen, or rather, where is Haydes? Do you know how we would get an audience with the queen in the first place?}
Pursuit looks between Shaani, Slashiir, and Jeremiah as they talk. Afterwards, she attempts to speak herself. Actually speak! "These undead... She pauses momentarily to think. "Do not.. Attack? Why deal with this? We should go to queen, deal with root of problem and remove undead this way."
Pursuit thinks for a small amount of time before 'speaking' again. {Do you know how he used the crystal ball to contact the informant? It would very useful to speak to them.}
At his words Pursuit steps forward to 'speak' to him. The halfling will hear a voice in his mind. Pursuit tries to make it as obvious as possible that she is the source of this voice. {A big break? On what? You must tell me! Can you help me make sense of the notes I found?}
Pursuit puts up her hood and still stays silent. No need to make the young man even more scared by a voice entering his mind.
Pursuit puts the notes she found in her pack for safekeeping. Seeing how she is currently unable to communicate in a language that everyone understands, she merely stands by listens. She does however, make mental notes on how everyone is speaking and what sounds they are making. She is starting to remember how to speak the common language after hearing it around her so much, but thinks it best to remain silent until she can communicate easily.
Pursuit makes sure to keep the notepad and note she found. She looks to Shaani. {Come and look at these notes. Perhaps another mind will help me understand these.} As she 'speaks' she gestures to the notepad she found.
Pursuit picks up the paper and reads it.
She will continue to look through the other notes and books near the poem to see if she can find anything else of note. While doing so, she looks to Both Robin and Shaani. {So, is this the prophet? Dead, and unable to answer our questions?}
Seeing Shaani already rush to the figure, Pursuit stays more towards the right of the door once she enters. She does, however, turn to look at the table through the archway. Hopefully she will be able to read the notes and books present.
When they reach the house Pursuit is visibly excited. She looks to Robin so she can 'speak' to him. {This looks.... Odd. But we should get inside. The prophet is in there, or there will be clues to their whereabouts inside.}
Entering the tavern, Pursuit takes a seat and starts to read while waiting for Shaani and Robin to finish. She would help, but her.... lack of speaking, and current communication method, would probably hurt more than help.
Fortunately speaking and hearing are two different things, and Pursuit understand Shaani's words just fine. She nods in response, following the other two on their way to the tavern. Those who care to pay attention, will notice Pursuit getting more and more excited the closer they get to finding the prophet.
Pursuit gets up and follows the other two when they leave the inn. She goes to ask Shaani if they found out anything, and is only now realizing that she has forgotten how to speak anything but the language she uses for rher research. It seems she has been away from civilization for a bit longer than she thought. Luckily, she has other means of communicating. Pursuit looks at Shaani as they walk and 'speaks' into her mind. {Did you find out anything about the prophet while inside?}
When Shaani goes to stable the horse, Pursuit opts to stay outside the inn, sitting down somewhat by the door but not in the way. Only then does she take off her hood and fix her hair slightly. To pass the time while waiting for the others, she starts to review her research. Hopefully they can find the prophet soon, figuring out the reasons for all these strange happenings would be very good for said research.
Pursuit follows along as well, making sure her cloak is on and covering her up. Her horns are not entirely hidden, but at a simple pass-over glance one might not see them. Might not be necessary to 'hide' her horns in this town, but for the most part interactions are always easier when they are hidden. At least, it's been that way in her experience.
Pursuit looks at everyone going their own ways and decides to go with Shaani. At this moment it certainly seems as if she knows what she is doing, so why not follow her for now? Without speaking, Pursuit motions to Shaani that she will be following.
Pursuit leaves immediately upon the ships docking, not terribly enjoying her time on the sea. Once off, she looks around at everyone around her. It has been a very very long time since she has really entered a town. A single look at her face would allow you to easily see she is very uncomfortable and confused right now.
Pursuit makes sure she has all of her things before putting her hood back up. Oftentimes, it is better for her to hide her horns in a human town. She then walks up to Slashiir, Robin, and Shaani. All three of you will hear words echo in your mind, and you'll be able to understand them. {We should hurry and get into town. I, and I assume some of you as well, will want to speak to the prophet.}
Pursuit turns to the Chuul that got itself back on deck, grumbling to themselves about having to use Eldritch Blast so much today. A rinse and repeat of the earlier actions takes place as she launches another blast. Once again, they will hit with force if they connect. Casting Eldritch Blast: Cantrip
With the chuul she targeted overboard, Pursuit turns to Chuul C and repeats the motion she did earlier while mumbling in that strange language. Once again, two crackling beams of energy fly towards the target. Casting Eldritch Blast: Cantrip
Like before, the beams will hit in force should they hit, sending the chuul flying back up to 10 feet per beam.
Pursuit backs a bit away from the railing and turns to the Chuul closest to her. She mumbles something in a strange language and throws open her palm at the creature. Two beams of black crackling energy erupt from her palm. Casting Eldritch Blast: Cantrip
Each beam that hits will impact with force, sending it flying back up to 10 feet with each hit.
With all the Commotion Pursuit stands up and starts to get ready.
The Tiefling scowls a bit at the increased activity on deck, moving her cloak to cover herself and putting her hood up. She will avoid the others for as long as she can. Once she started reading her through her notes again, however, Pursuit was able to ignore things happening around her quite well.
The Tiefling quickly and neatly puts the paper back in the scroll case and looked up at the elf, a quizzical look on her face. Pursuit responded to Slashiir, but not in elven. She responded in Deep Speech. "I do not understand you." And with that Pursuit turned and walked away, returning to where she was before the wind intervened.
The Tiefling reached the elf and immediately knelt down on one knee to get a hand on the note. A quick scan of the paper indicated it would not have hurt to be lost, though Pursuit was happy she would not need to write all that down again. With a hand on the note, the tiefling forgets the social courtesy of looking at the face of who you 'speak' to. {Lift your foot now, I must get this back in my case before the wind attempts to steal it again.}
Pursuit kept to themselves while on the boat, and kept seated with her back against the ledge. Her studded leather armor, dyed a dull yellow with red accents, ended with a lightly armored skirt that went down to her knees. The color scheme continued with her knee high boots, dyed the same way. She wore a red cloak above the armor, but for now it stayed behind her like a cape. With her hood down, you can see her brown scarf and short brown hair. Her horns however are the most noticeable thing you'll see at a glance, and they would remind you of curled ram horns. She sat cross legged, scroll case resting on her lap and reading some papers covered with messy handwriting. This is how most of her trip was spent, avoiding anyone else and reading notes. However, this time, it would seem fate has intervened with her plans of continued isolation. The wind picks up and blows the papers out of her hands. Most are caught, but one blows all the way over to Slashiir's feet. Not wanting to risk her notes, Pursuit reached out and... didn't speak. {You there, elf! My notes are coming your way by the floor, to your right. Step on them before they go overboard!} Slashiir will hear in her head, loud enough to catch her attention. All the while, Pursuit grabbed her scroll case and started running over.
Oh! I should note, since pursuit does little to no verbal communication, anything in {'s will be the use of awakened mind(telepathy). Figured I should mention that since that will be the bulk of Pursuit's communication(if there is any)
