Summary: Ubel is curious
Status: Closed
Ubel moved alone, cloaked in shadows for the most part. He wasn't trying to hide, because he believed he had every right to be here, but the wizards still were suspicious of his kind. Not that he was being obvious, but obvious enough to one who knew what to look for.
He missed the company of the others in his group, but they were out. Ice was gathering information, and one was meeting with Varin for an update on the situation. To discover if the wandmaker knew anything ... or if he'd sell them what he might know.
Pausing by one of the ruptured buildings, Ubel closed his eyes and inhaled slowly. He could smell smoke and death, could even now hear the echoes of screams ... or what he'd imagined it might have sounded like yesterday. He and his kind could not use magic, but they could still feel it. The residue that powerful spells left behind ... and he could feel a lot of that, all over the village.
Passing by the entrance to the Three Broomsticks, he paused to hear what bits of gossip tumbled out. So much speculation, exaggeration, guesses pandered as facts ... and he wondered who knew. Who had organized it. Who had invited the wolves.
Moreover, he wanted to know what the point of it was. Why the destruction here? Grey eyes fell to a small memorial of flowers, presumably left where someone had fallen. Senseless destruction ... what had it won? Perhaps there would be information for him later, but it was unlikely. This seemed simply like the work of a madman - or a child having a tantrum.
Ubel moved away slowly, continuing his exploration of the village.
