Orin walked casually through the town's marketplace, examining the various goods and services that were being offers. Around him, the crowd was tightly packed, as if everyone in the town had turned out at the same time. Vendors hawked their wares and people's voices shouted, creating an atmosphere where even Orin struggled to hear himself think.

God, I hate crowds. I always think someone's going to rob me. He smiled at that thought. In all honesty, he was more likely to rob somebody than the other way around. Even if somebody did rob him, they'd soon realise they'd gotten involed in more than they bargained for. Orin was not a kind man if somebody wronged him.

He pulled absently on the rim of his hood. As always, it covered the top half of his face, so only the end of his nose and his mouth were visible. The air of mystery it created around him was very useful, as it tended to intimidate the weak minded and make the easier to manipulate. And it also disguised him from those stronger than him, making it easier to escape the wrath of the powerful.

He broke free of the crowd and was surprised by the silence that engulfed him once he was outside of that mass of bodies. He walked silently through the streets of Ganutcha, making his way back to teh small room he was renting. Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him. Orin froze, and turned slowly, his hand reaching inside his clothing for one of his throwing knives. Before him floated a purple cloud of dust. The voice was speaking from within it.

"Please come to this Tows Pub. Make it quick, you do not have much time. You will regret it if you don't... Or you wont, since you will be dead. Your call. As you walk in, a stranger will wave to you, go over and talk to him, he is the owner of this spell".

A slight frown formed on Orin's face, and he stood for a few seconds in quiet contemplation. Eventually, he decided to obey the message. He doubted that, whatever the situation was, he wouldn't be able to handle himself. Turning around, he set of down the nearest alleyway in the direction of Tow's Pub.

A quick question about the nature of Green magic illusions. Is it possible for Orin to create multiple versions of himself and control them. I just wanted to know to inform how he fights.

<spoiler=Green Magic>It is as I said earlier, used for Illusions and things like poison and blind and those spells.

The Illusions are a tricky thing. You can make a heap of yourself, but only one will be able to attack, the others are a distraction.

There are a few very very very high level spells that can have all of them hurt the person through tapping into their nervous system, making them feel pain.

Just remember, your not a God. Illusions are hard to keep up, so in a battle, would fold if you lost concentration or was hit by something.

That's fine. I only intended for the real one to be capable of actual harm. The others would only be there to confuse the enemy and disguise the real one. They wouldn't be capable of actually interacting with anything. Ehh, I might use it I don't know.

Muhat caught the orb with his enchanted hand.
'I am a mage. A good one at that, though messenger orbs are new to me...'
Muhat started scanning the orb with his eyes.
'It looks rather ordinary doesn't it?'

Orin slipped quietly into the bar, following behind several overly muscled men who made straight for the barman, and he was eager to avoid attracting any unwanted attention. He scanned the sea of people within, looking for the one who had sent the message. Assuming, of course, that this wasn't a trap. But he'd already taken precautions for that eventuality.

"I am very sorry my dear, but I must really leave. Don't worry, I will be back." Laurence said to the young lady in bed. Taking a rose, he kissed it and trowed it to her. Now to get out before her father finds out.
Having almost made his way out of the building, he got starteld by a floating purple orb. This cause him to trip over a large vase that broke with a large crash. If that wasn't enough, a loud voice began to talk to him from it. Some of the guards noticed him because of this all and got after him. Laurence started running and tried to hide, but the ord and the voice kept up with him revealing his position. Finaly making his way of the estates his grounds, the messages was over. "OOH, COME ON, COULD'T IT HAVE WAITED FOR ONE SECOND" Laurence screamed at the dissolving purple orb. Drawing more attention to him self, the guards outside notiched him and again went after.

"Yes, the orb does seem rather ordinary, but there is a potential within it."

"Um, do you mind if I take a look at it?" Repel said eagerly

"Yes I am, Magic has always fascinated me."

"This orb is a wonder isn't it?" Said Repel while trying to focus some of his magic in to the orb.

Evela laughed as he saw them playing with his magic toy. "It may look ordinary, but it is very helpful. All you need is a message in your head, a name of someone, utter the correct spell and it does its job."

He saw Repel trying to force magic into the orb, "Would you like me to show you how you use it?" he asked as another traveller walked in, Evela whistled and waved him over.

Having lost the guards in the busy market place and getting pickpocketed in the process, after al this Laurence made his way towards to the pub.
Opening the door, Laurence walked in. "Oke, which on of you guys send a freaking purple orb after me?" Laurence shouted.

Orin stepped aside as a man entered the bar behind him and shouted for whoever sent the purple orb. Interesting. It seems I wasn't the only one who was sent a message. He stayed quiet and looked around to see who answered.

"Yes please." Repel said while handing Evela the orb

Turning towards the source of the voice "Hm, it seems we have another one"

Evela waved at the man who walked in and began yelling. "I did, don't get so worked up about it, it won't matter soon anyway." he answered. In response to all the yelling and interruptions, one of the drunks stumbled out of the pub, but not before shouting obscenities and doing rude gestures.

Evela took the message orb back from Repel, and threw it into the air, "You need to break it first." he said as it smashed on his table, seeping the fine mist everywhere. He once again moved each of them into smaller orbs, and sent them on their way with a quick incantation. It was sent to the few remaining people who hadn't made it there yet. The message was a notification, "You only have 8 minutes, I suggest you hurry up, lest you face the consequences."

One of the orbs stayed there on the table, and delivered the message, before fading back into nothing. "That's how you use it."

Orin quietly followed the man as he walked towards those sat at the table. He cleared his throat and said, "You sent the message? What do you want?" The tone of hs voice hinted at the wariness he felt and inside he was already preparing for any sign that he needed to escape.

"Summon?" Evela asked with a puzzled look on his face, he put his hands in his pocket to take out another two, "I have to carry there around with me all the time." he put the two back into his pocket.

The man with the blood red eyes grabbed the bridge of his nose, "Listen, you would have knocked that vase over anyway. You would have sneezed when you were hiding, and would have been found. I didn't cause anything." he said as once again, he reached for his sword, just in case this man got violent.

He looked over to a really quiet hooded one, "I don't want anything... yet. But I wouldn't suggest you leave. It's only 6 more minutes until it happens, and I suggest you don't stray far from me." he answered with a steel resolve in his eyes.

"I'm going to need a little more information than that before I do anything. Give me a reason the trust you."
