As the Duke leaves, Vinoh calmly surveys his new "brothers in arms." He is pleasantly surprised by the diversity of this crew, but then his guildmaster had told him that this would be a most peculiar journey.
Not feeling particularly hungry, the mind mage chooses to spend the hour getting to know those who seem most interesting. Since the half-orc is busily depleting the tables' contents and Sarael is already in a discussion with the human knight, his choices were already limited. Finally, he approaches the shade that called itself "Evenyth."
"I can see why the good Duke has summoned you. It is very wise for anyone who faces the Dark to have one of its own in his service."
Evenyth does not reply. Vinoh wishes to know more about this shade, but an increasing tingling sensation in the back of his head convinces him that it migh not want to converse right now. not pushing the situation any further, he turns and walks towards the banquet table and is approached by Father Quadrial.
Father Quadrial:
"I see that the Mind's Eye Guild sent out one of its "potentials" to meet this challenge. Interesting."
Vinoh:
"Ah, Father! Don't worry, I meant no offence during my entrance... It's an honour to meet one such as accomplished as yourself; true altruists are a rarity these days."
FQ: "Mmmh? Do I have a reputation I don't know about?"
V: "If you could see the auras of even one tenth of those around you, you would see my point."
