FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Yseult
RECIPIENT: All members of Riftwatch
NOTES: Branching off of this scene. Note that despite the IC call for assistance we OOCly don't actually need to add any more people to that thread, the three of them will deal with the demon themselves before anybody else can get there. We just needed an excuse to make an all hands post asap.

Riftwatch, there is a demon in the Gallows masquerading as Benedict Artemaeus. He has been cornered in the fifth floor workroom. Assistance would be appreciated.

[ Yseult almost always sounds brisk on the crystals; today her speech is quicker and more clipped than ever. ]

Until we know more and can confirm there are no other imposters among the company, be on your guard. Report any unusual activity immediately.

The Scoutmaster has called for a halt to movement—

( petrana is thinking ahead, and still doing so when her mind runs back the words cedric has privately spoken to her: friends in common. )

Forgive me. In what capacity have you known Mssr Orlov?

in perpetuity

Inquisition - he split ways after they called the March -

[ for the best. but even now speaking the mage business aloud still feels like a betrayal ]

Folks still know him.

( interesting, interesting. )

I've not known him to seem— desirous of much. But I cannot claim to have ever been in his intimacies. I've not crossed his path much, beyond to observe his sparring with Captain Rowntree.

[dissolving]

Hope you're right.

[ there's a second wheel that's been turning, about captain rowntree, and what other places he knows that name,

it's not the time. ]

When I said a way out - I mean, if it's taken one body, if it tried to take another, others might look to jump as well. Try and go back to ground. Don't be alone with anyone, if you can manage it.

I'm going for a sword. Let you know if I hear anything.

—yes. I see. Thank you, Mssr Carsus. I am not presently alone.
