Ivellios it feels like a dream rift but at the same time it doesn't. There's something off putting about this. Make me an Nature Check.
The girl bows her head but keeps her eyes trained on you Ivellios.
"...Rosie. My name is Rosie." She bites her lips before asking.
"Who is Lady Aurora and what do you mean this is a dream? This is real, I know it is, watch." She pinches herself on the arm, harshly, letting out a small "ow".
Ivellios being a half-elf yourself, you know that elves don't technically dream and instead, when they rest, their minds will just basically replay past memories. If you have to take a guess you would say you are stuck in an elf's dream ; a mash up of the dream realm and the waking world.
In the back of you mind you hear the first words that Aurora said on how to dispel rifts from inside them.
"The dreams of others tend to bleed into this place often, when that happens you must either complete what the dream asks of you or you could try to simply "wake" the dreamer. Though, depending on the dreamer that last one could lead to quite a violent confrontation."
Ivellios thinking on it now you get the feeling that waking someone might not be as easy as making a loud noise or simply shaking them until they wake up.
Addressing the group "Well we can either wait for her to wake up which could take forever or..." Turning to Rosie "There's something in your dream that you need to resolve. As a fellow Half-Elf did something happen in your past?"

"You people make no sense. Like none. At all. This is not a dream. You are in my house!" She throws her arms up and stamps her foot in frustration.
"You break into my house, tell me some kind of magic did, none I've ever heard of. And let me tell you my mom's taught me a lot about magic. And now-" She pauses, looking at Byg'wygg again.
"Are you eating mom's soup!?!" She cries out, and quick as a dart, runs over to yank the bowl out of Byg'wygg's hands.
There is no one out there. The only people who are making the girl nervous right now are you guys.
OOC: Let me paint a picture for you all. A group of strange men plus a lizard creature appear in a little girl's house when she appears to be all by herself, eat her food, cast magic on her when she tries to defend herself, and then try to tell her its all a dream. (Wow watching these guys interact with a child is just something else.) Remember this is a twelve year old.
"Here's the thing," says Quintoc, looking the girl in the eyes and keeping his hands up to show he means no harm, "we are not here on purpose. We don't know where we are or who you are. So we are confused. We need to find a way out of this place. And the only way to do that is for us to help you. In whatever way you need. So tell us how we can help you. Byg'Wigg might be king, but we are here for you. Isn't that neat? You have your own little army, even if we are a little strange. What is your name, by the way?"
The girl holds the bowl in in her hands protectively as she looks around at the others.
"I'm Rosie. Rosie Aberdeath. If-If you are saying the truth I could use some help." She shifts, looking apprehensive for what she is about to say.
"Mom's been...sick. Really sick. Her and Dad are at the doctor's right now. They try and hide it from me but I can see the way my mom coughs and stays up really late at night. Dad been stressing himself out trying to keep her and the baby safe. The Doctor says there is nothing that we can do and that we just have to wait and see." Her eyes glaze over, looking like the girl might start crying. Instead she shakes her, a look of determination and she drops the bowl on a nearby table and pushes her way out of the room. She returns with a large book, flipping through the pages, before holding it out for the rest of you to see. On the page is the picture of a bright yellow flower with large thin petals.
"I know something that can help her though. This flower, Palor's Light. It can heal anything. If I can get some and give it to the Doctor he can make a potion that can help mom. A whole bunch of them grow on the edge of the Everglade, just past Razorfang cave. I was gonna try to sneak down and gets some today, before you all appeared here."
"The doctor lives about two hours away down the road. Mom and Dad took the carriage out to meet him. They told me it was best that we all lived far away from each so we couldn't be found." The girl flips through the book and pulls out a loose sheet of folded up paper hidden in the back. Unfolding it, she shows off a large, familiar looking map to you all. It looks like the map found in the library except its newer, the paper still white; the ink still fresh and dark. She points to several location on the map.
"See this is where we are, and that's the doctor's house, and there's the Everglade."
"That's quite a distance from each other. Why are you all hiding does it have to do with these Reignsmen you mentioned earlier? I maybe able to help your mother without the need of the flower but I will assume you want to get this flower anyway right?"

To Lari: "I heard the Doctor speak of it to my father. Its a special flower blessed by the gods. But they say its too dangerous to go get some because of Razorfang."
To Ivellios: "If your going to say you are gonna use magic; don't. We aren't allowed to. One hint of magic and the Reignsmen will find us. They hunt down magic users for the dark one. My parents never told me what happens when you get caught by them but they never come back."
If Byg'wygg makes a nature check DC12, he'll know.
Any one who wants to know about the Reignsmen make a history check.
To Quintoc: "Razorfang is an Owlbear that lives in the cave. He's a lot bigger then other owlbears though and a lot more dangerous."
To Ivellios:"I don't think we can do that either. The Dark One doesn't like it when gods interfere in this place and he especially doesn't like it when his subjects worship other gods besides him. That's why my Dad can't use his magic anymore."
Byg'wygg and Ivellios:
From you collective knowledge you know that back during the time that Terria was ruled by the god Haxtor, he kept a unique guard called the Reignsmen that hunted magic users as well as magical creatures. They were brutal and relentless in their hunts, slaughtering all they came across. The Reignsmen were completely wiped out after Haxtor's defeat, so it is quiet bizarre to hear this girl speak about like they are still a threat.

Lari peeks out all of the windows looking for any sign of the people that are frightening the girl.
