Han looks at you and then takes a moment to focus his eyes. You get the impression that he just realized you were standing infront of him "Wizard problems? Sure how can I help?". Before you answer he walks back into his house, door still open. You immediately notice that the house is cluttered, even messy, with all sorts of unfinished projects of many different kinds. Everything from open and scattered books, star charts under dinner plates, a variety of religious symbols including those of different races, some unfinished pots and paintings that he must have tried making at one point. The painting doesn't look half bad, if it wasn't smeared by the fishing equipment that he leaned against it.
You get the feeling that you should probably follow him before he forgets you as well.
Shalech steps into the home, closing the door behind him. "This is hard to explain briefly, but the short of it is a bad wizard did some experiments on me, tore out a part of me that allowed some other being to communicate with me via dreams, and in the space left behind, he put something in me. Since then, I have been able to cast magic spells, and I understand nothing of what has happened. I'm hoping to find another more friendly wizard that can explain it all, and point me in the right direction to help myself if what's inside me is dangerous."
(Back at the bar I suppose) Theodore seeing Urselles's appraising glances smiles kindly and says "Please don't worry my friend, I only wish to help so I can converse with a specialist amongst my own kin. I have a private matter that only they may help with. I mean no one any ill will."
(If high enough roll both would realise this is true but Theodore is cagey about what this 'private matter' is.)
When you begin speaking Han turns back around and looks surprised to see you, as if he didn't know you were there. His eyes focus and he listens intently. "Evil wizards... Hmm. We've had those around here once. ...Think I've got one of their spellbooks around here." He kicks a few books around, half searching, before he looks at you again; his eyes still focused. "I know." He takes a few steps back, points his arms at you and casts a spell.
You don't feel anything, but you notice that his eyes are glowing an indigo color.
"Not my area of expertise i'm afraid, my interests lie more in Abjuration."
Turning walking to victor and Jack:
"Your friend seems a lively one and ours a bit eager" He now flashing a gold piece "Now before we go running half-cocked which one of you fine gentleman can tell me exactly what happened to the wizard guild and where I can find whats left of them and if they are all as jumpy as your friend."

(He cast Detect Magic. What does he see?)
(Tough call. Detect Magic seems to locate specific cast spells or items, not magical classes like Wizards, Warlocks or Sorcerers, since it gives the detail of the school of magic associated with the detection. Seeing as Shalech has cast no spell from a school of magic, nor wears any magical items, I'm guessing the spell sees nothing?)
Shalech stands there, hopeful.
(Btw, so you can continue to roleplay this, Shalech is a Fallen Aasimar Sorcerer. The aforementioned wizard ripped out his connection to the divine and inserted a darkness in it's place (hence, Fallen Aasimar), which is also the font of power fueling the Sorcery. As a class, Sorcerers are not dangerous to themselves, but this narrative is just his motivation to be in this town and interacting with the citizens.)
(Would any of the scars or the object put inside you of been magically effected. If it was a ritual that removed your divine connection, it should have a lasting magical presence.)
A table gets knocked over as Jack and Victor continue to struggle with each other.
(Would any of the scars or the object put inside you of been magically effected. If it was a ritual that removed your divine connection, it should have a lasting magical presence.)
(Sorcerer, source is Shadow Magic. In my mind, the wizard was a conjuration specialist, ie: summons demons. He tried to put the essence of the Shadowfell or the essence of a demon where my connection to the divine used to be. I'd hate the thought that I'd light up like a beacon when someone simply casts Detect Magic near me. Wizard could also be a necromancer, since Shadowfell is more a transition plane for the dead.)
”I mean more of it’s healing power, well, why is your interest in the area of abjuration”
"A strange question, would not 'ending harmful effects, protecting the weak, and banishing evil influences' with my gifts be just as noble a motivation as a healer?" Theodore replies jovially
Han looks at you, scars still shown to him, and he looks confused. He leans forward; then steps uncomfortably close to you. He then leans in closer, inches above a scar. "Oh, there it is, between the stitches. Yep, that's necromancy all right."
He steps back. "I think I've got a book that'll help. Somewhere... " Han trails off mid-sentence, his eyes glaze over, losing focus.
Finally noticing the gold coin, Jack and Victor start scrambling over each other to tell you first. Almost in unison they say; "Dar's the only guild member left. He never said why it disbanded!"
"Necromancy..." Shalech shivers. "With all the demons he used to summon, I thought for sure this had something to do with demons. I'm not sure if necromancy is any better... but I'm alive, not undead. Just tell me it's not killing me and I'll get to live my life now that I'm free?"
The two old men plow into you, both of their hands on the coin. After a moment of them rolling on top of you, they roll off and continue struggling with each other. Boabby's deep laugh fills the room.

Theodore and Urselles overhear Jack and Victor arguing, and one trying to pull the silver coin out of the other's hand.
Boabby is just laughing at them; while the rest of the bar resettles to their usual ways and places.

"What happened to the other guild members?"
Han doesn't seem to hear you.
Both Jack and Victor are reaching for the gold coin. (Make a Dex Save)
Dex save: 6
(Looks like I'm losing that gold!)
The two old men plow into you, both of their hands on the coin. After a moment of them rolling on top of you, they roll off and continue struggling with each other. Boabby's deep laugh fills the room.
