Vinoh lets out a sigh mixed with gratitude and puzzlement. Lately, potential allies have been crawling out of the woodwork! While there is strength in numbers, Vinoh wonders at the logistics of keeping such a large group coordinated.
Taken off guard by the appearing mage and shocked at his sudden death, the mind mage wonders if he is not hallucinating and hopes this vile place has not already corrupted his mind.
Looking over the elf and human, Vinoh reads their auras, to be sure of their intentions. While he can't get a straigth read off of the human, he finds something strange in the elf... he has no aura at all (OOC: he sent me an e-mail telling me this)! It's as if he was killed and came back under some unknown force! Getting slightly nervous, Vinoh takes a few steps back and sends a telepathic message to everyone, except their 2 new companions:
*Telepathic message to group*: "My friends, I fear that the "fun" has already begun. The elf Krazixs has no aura, meaning that he is either dead or from another plane... I'm not exactly sure. He seems friendly, as you can tell by his stuttering affability, but we should do well not to trust whomever happens to come our way."
Ending his psychic link to his friends, Vinoh then speaks normally.
"Well then... I guess any help we can get is a blessing. However, be advised that after what we've been through, we just can't fully trust you right away, Kazixs and Fael, especially since you join us at the very gates of this evil place! Indeed, our goal is to purge the Tomb of Velix of whatever evil has befallen it as quickly as possible. If you truly want to help us, we welcome you warmly, but if you even think of harming us..."
Vinoh finishes his speech mentally:
"... then be prepared to face the consequences."
The mind mage let's his gaze linger on Kazixs and Fael, adding weight to the seriousness of his words. Then, adopting a calmer behaviour, he addresses the group once again:
"I plan to check out the top of this ziggurat, I'll help anyone who cares to join me but cannot climb it on their own with my telekinetic powers. Darghon, can you back me up on this?"
