"It was you who led us across some mighty strange hills on the way to this place. Even so drunk you followed a straight path through game paths to reach here. You strode forward and threw yourself on the altar under a full moon."

I give a slightly dissatisfied look " I see. I was hoping you had better answers then that. But it is interesting...." as I've never been to this sort of place. " I get up and give a subtle nod to the bartender " be well then." I then get up and make my way towards some woods and find a horse. Once I do I mount it and prepare to resume my journey. I also look for anyone who wasnt with the pub crawl.... any evidence of Coral, Coy, Dorian, or any of the other things I sought in shadows by seeking a shadow of my desire slat the bar. Ill even check the alter for something.....anything....I look to the assembled people ((if nothing is found)) " I can lead you back to your bar if you like. Otherwise I have a journey to resume.And this already ate into my time." I so a second search to see if something justified this detour.With the intent of retracing the steps I took to get here.
but if I find something I will run with that

Ooc: if they dont want to go back I'd like to go back to what I was planning on doing before my pit stop went somewhere weird. Do you have something your shooting for here? If you dont can I push forward?

OOC: You didn't mention any of that when you described the shadow walk. Maybe they are around? Maybe they have protected themselves from randos walking in on them. Maybe these people are the guardians of the shadow. Maybe Brian needs to ask them.

OOC: Well first then lets go with anything noteworthy on the Alter. Any symbols, icons, that sort of thing.
I try to get my bearings of the area I am in.
IC: I look to the Bartender "Well what can you tell me of this place? Since I do not know the place. I've never tried to walk a shadow path drugged and intoxicated.....I thought I was on a vision quest....and if you didn't send me....I might need help parsing it. " Does this place feel familiar in the places of memory gaps that I have.

The mountains, valleys, forest and Gwydion remind him of Wales.
"Your mind may have walked the higher realms, but your legs marched steady and true to this hidden place. Only one other has ever done so: the Cyclops."

I blink for a moment "Balor?"

"Not him but one of the other Fomoire, maybe his sister? A giant she was with one great red eye, and those that met her eye were destroyed. It was she who stole the sunny skies and brought the storms. With that great eye closed, she walked, and we followed to this place. Here, she bent the land to her will, moved mountain and twisted rivers to create a fortress to live in."

"You wouldn't know the way to the place?" Huh......seems something worthy of changing my path.

I nod to the man. "I was planning to scout things out. And if she sees me approach I hope she is willing to honor the request of a traveler for hospitality."
I look to the man "And why help me?"
OOC: This is the place where the vision of the Morrigan that Brian had when he walked the pattern in Amber. Did it happen here?

"She never seemed to be the hospitable type. Absolutely a terrible guest, for sure.
"It is our responsibility as guardians of this dell and altar."
OOC: I can't remember what was in the vision. Do you have a link for the post?

" So you need me to tell your guest she is rude and you want her to leave." I laugh softly. " I suppose I can work with that."
OOC:
....Battling along the Pattern, but not the Pattern he now knows.....wait, not along the lines but in the hair-thin gaps beween. Victory. A final gasping curse from the Pretender. Darkness. A falling not unlike death and endless no-time in the depths of pure night....
...Surfacing out of the darkness into the dark. Morrigan holding a torch. Others, robed and cowled, standing back from the scene. The Pattern glowing ethereal blue in the inky black...Walking again. Completion. A return of the blade and armour to him. A return to Ayalos.

I dust myself a bit....Feeling a second wind and like a weight is lifted from my shoulders. "Does she have guards around her castle, a city....that sort of thing?"

[OOC: No, this can't be the place because there doesn't look like a Pattern here. It would fit quite well otherwise...]
"None have gone to visit. I don't think she needs guards if she still has the death sight."
