[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene 128: The Wizard of Puppetland

[Loran]

Azhur looked at Rikku's reaction and imitated the Godslearner. The vapors reminded him the toxic and nauseous vapors of the Dilis swamp and he advised the same type of protections to his followers.

Doubtful that the mist was there without link with their presence, he remained watchful and cautious.

[OOC:]
Rural Survival 17

Forest Scout 18

Scan for Danger 17

Skeptic 13
[IC]

Following and covering Rikku, he observed the both magicians with equal distrust, expecting them to ignore profane people around. Somehow, some truth will be soon revealed.
