[color=darkcyan]"So we're going up there to retrieve an artifact that may very well destroy the demons. If this artefact can do what it's rumoured to do, then we have no choice but to adventure into the mountains and retrieve it. We can certainly use the cunning and efficiency of a gnome.[/color]

He comment was lost amongst Tirarrian's racing eyes and mind over Izzy now sprouting a dark cloud around her, with her topaz eyes piercing through both her unnatural shroud and any sort of defenses someone might have around themselves. In those eyes lay clarity, and in clarity there is madness.

[color=darkcyan]"This isn't my town- this isn't my home, and I don't necessarily fight for it, but I did not come to this place to die. I don't know exactly what is going on, but I know that what we fought last night .... whatever it is, whatever is going on, it's not over yet. And it will devour us whole if we don't stop it. We go as a group, and that is final. You each have a half hour to get your shit together and then we leave."[/color] And with that she turned and left. Suddenly Tirarrian was left with a choice. It was a pretty easy one, she liked to think she had a heart, so protecting the people of Waldershore came first. 

One thing was clear though, nobody here had really been treating the threat like they should. It wasn't about glory or gold, it was about lives, things you couldn't put a price on. Tirarrian watched Izzy go, [color=violet][i]There goes a true hero. You don't see enough of them nowadays[/i][/color]

She chased after Izzy, finding it difficult as she had set a furious and fast pace to keep up with even if Tirarrian had the same length legs and wasn't encumbered as she was. [color=violet]"Izzy, I'm sorry. You're right, this is far too important to risk staying behind. I was hoping there would be some sort of good I could do back here in town, if you think it best I help in this then I will."[/color] 

[color=violet]"Where are you going anyway?"[/color]
