Patching Frays 06/13

“Actually, considering the state of the samples, I shouldn’t wonder if we
won’t need to make another attempt at a fray to the Void.” They moved further into the cave where the
dirt was still stained dark from the filth that had seeped into it. The remains
that had been in its depths had been reduced to such small pieces that there
was little smell beyond a faint rot. No worse than the ever present damp smell
of the Shroud. “Perhaps something a little larger.” Lebeaux Desrosiers rolled shoulders in a small shrug.

Dhavha kneels down, retrieving a small wooden rod from his satchel and starting
to poke at the dirt, scritching it this way and that to check for traces of
their errant pudding. “Larger would m-mean…more unstable,” he says.
“And…um…” Rin hesitates for a moment here. “…m-much

something of a personal question, b-but how susceptible would you say you and
Geofferaut are to possession by outside entities?”

Lebeaux stood back several steps as he leaned the staff on his shoulder and
removed his leatherbound journal from his jacket, flipping through a few pages
to mark down a few notes with a charcoal pencil. “Possession?” He repeated as
he scratched a few more things onto the page, glancing up to look at the
arcanist. “As in succumbing to the infernal influences of whatever lurks
beyond? I suspect I have nothing to worry about. I’ll not be swayed from my
path. As for Geofferaut…” Shoulders lifted in
a small shrug. He couldn’t even begin to fathom the other Ishgardians motives
or interests, nor would he really want to, to be quite honest. “Have you
encountered such a thing yourself?”

its like he was in position to hit a perfect home run there and instead he just safety bunted and walked to first base
