Who: Dorian and assorted guests

Action: In a villa practically in the forest (THE HOUSE OF SIN)
When: Broadcast- 3/10 // Action- 3/9-3/31? Until we leave.

Broadcast:

[The broadcast goes out on 3/10, and Dorian smirks a bit into the feed.]

I believe I've secured lodging for myself, with room enough for several others. If you need a place to stay, do let me know. It's a quaint little villa a bit outside of town. ...please don't mind the suspicious glances, I assure you, I've done nothing entirely against the guidelines that were set.

Action:

[Dorian has secured a villa, but the residents of Mor don't seem too keen on having an evil mage for a neighbor. As the month goes on, more and more villagers will show up to stand at the gates of the villa and threaten to come in after the "evil wizard".

Maybe he shouldn't have gone so overboard with the whole "contacting the spirits of the dead" thing.]

((OOC: Mingle post for the House of Sin. We'll pretend there are enough rooms in here for everyone! Even if you character only drops by to rest their feet a bit, everyone is welcome to visit and stay the night if they want.))

[It's only after the ring is cleared that she picks it up, rubbing her thumb against the carvings on the surface. After the conclave, when she had been a prisoner, she'd worried at the ring just like this for comfort, silently asking her gods for help so she could go home one day, do her duty as Keeper and protect her clan from Fen'Harel. In chains she had clung to the ring and the idea of losing it now is-

Not important. She clenches her hand around it and stands, face clearing as much as she can make it but still quite pale. The face of the Inquisitor fighting through horror like it was nothing.]

He might be one of the most powerful mages I know. It's why I asked for his help. I just expected... Well. Not this.

[She lifts her head, finally takes a moment to look him over properly.]

How were you able to sense it?

[He watches her. She does seem pale, which concerns him a little...though he can't entirely blame her for feeling ill after all this. But if she's trying to clear her face and seem composed, he won't call her on it]

[......Though. He's not really sure how to answer that first part properly. It's not like he knows this guy. For all he knows he's secretly effing evil, or just really, really misguided. So he'll just.....not respond and go to that question]

It's a curse. When I was a child, I tried to resurrect my father using the same sorts of magic. So he cursed me to always see trapped souls.
