"Speak your intentions plainly. Why are you in this forest?"
They seem angry. You would do well not to irritate them further

Liam the Weak: Level 4 Human Fighter - Trying to fight against his other personality, and constantly losing.
Aodh: Level 20 Half-Elf Cleric of Life - Not really. It's a strange being that had possessed and broke down a level 20 Cleric of Life Domain, gaining his knowledge and power.
"*****": Level 1 Tiefling Sorcerer - Her family is dead, and her will is broken. She follows orders so that those that command her will allow her to die.
"Our intentions are what's already been said," Amvilla states. "We are here to collect all the mirror shards to stop the Dusk Queen and bring peace to this forest. That's all."
((If any of you are wondering why I take so long to reply, I generally wait to see if others want to help with the skill rolls.))
The two look at the group, making up their minds about whether or not they should trust them. Eventually, they would give in and say,
”Very well. What is it that you wish to know?”

“To defeat the Dusk Queen is simple. She is just powerful and cunning, but in the end she is still as mortal as you are...Though, it wouldn’t surprise us if she found a way to save herself from death. The mirror may even be a way for her to survive, considering that the shards hold pieces of her soul.”

"If we could destroy the shards ourselves, we would gladly assist you, but..."
The other woman in the pool spoke up,
"We have been...corrupted. Not enough to become like the Queen or her subjects, but we can no longer even attempt to destroy the shards. Our bodies suddenly freeze up when we even try..."

Amvilla furrows her brow in sympathy. "Also, even if you can't directly destroy the shards, maybe you two could just...guide us around? No destruction necessary?"
"I'm afraid that is also impossible as well. We can give you directions, but if we were to reveal more that what you see of us now...then you may be blinded for quite some time."
The other woman spoke up for how the shards are destroyed.
"We...don't quite know how to destroy them. They are filled with a sort of magical energy, the likes of which even we know of. They hold her existence in pieces, but it seems that they also act as a way to change things. You are welcome to try anything you think will work, however."
The two dive back down for a long moment, but when they return, they bring with them a reflective glass shard.

While Aqin scans the shard, Amvilla's eyes begin to wander. "The shards can change things, huh? What about that treant we fought earlier, maybe the shards can do something about other....wrong creatures like that?" she asks her companions.
As Aqin examines the shard, his knowledge of the arcane is put to great use. Before even touching the shard, he could feel it begin to connect with him. He could hear it attempt to whisper and speak. Not only that, he begins to feel it attempting to change something about him. Perhaps it wouldn't have done it so quickly, but over a long period of time...The possibilities that the shard offered were endless, but would take some time to bring about.
Meanwhile, the two women look to Amvilla.
"Unfortunately, the shards are not the cause of any changes. The strong connection to the Realm of Shadows is what changed everything. Everything except our appearance. Our attempt to deal with the shard ourselves forced it to influence our physical bodies."

Aqin leans his head toward the shard as if to listen to it. Aqin is always seeking more power. Rarely does power blind his good will and his ability to make good choices. Aqin plans to continue to study this shard more closely and intently.
((if he gathers nothing else from the shard he will wrap it in some cloth torn off his clothes and will put it away on his person.))

The woman holding the shard out was...concerned with Aqin's close examination of the shard. They didn't know what process he is using for observation, but their concern was toward his fascination.
As for whether or not he succeeded in hearing it speak more...The closer he was to touching the shard itself, the louder the whisper became...But then something strange happened. The whisper began to sound softer, quieter, until it was silent to him once again...

Aqin takes the shard and wraps it up in a cloth and stows it away in a pouch.
"We will return this forest to normal, We will stop the queen and destroy the shards." Aqin says blankly before looking back at the women and snapping out of it, "So, where will we find the other shards?"
