Yogitus leaves the cave disturbed, not only by the glyph now forced upon his skin, but the prospect of retrieving the "Dragon Pulse." Is this fate or a distraction?

Yogitus reaches into one of his belt satchels and holds the charm he was given briefly. Was that a dream? Yogitus sighs. He'll need to be sure the question will generate direction before using the charm.

As he leaves the tunnel and walks down the hill, Herald can be seen standing in wait. Yogitus approaches them.

"What should I make of this?" and shares the new glyph, blackened to his arm. "And what is the Dragon Pulse?"
OOC:
Will the glyph remain if I mimic another race?

Ah, that is our ancestors dragons mark. It is used to identify you as his. Show that to any of his servants and they will not attack except in defense. as for the Dragon Pulse. . . turning he looks to an ancient Dragonborn.

Left Talon
Standing well over 6 feet tall and carrying many years she(?) looks you in the eye The pulse is an item created in the Dawn Age by the combined might of the Dragons and the People. It was intended as a tool for communication but during the Dawn War several were corrupted into a means of controlling dragons, a abominable act. and she scowls It should appear as an orb of about 3 feet in diameter, though it can enlarge or reduce upon command. The orbs surface will be partially covered by three dragon sculptures made of metal, crystal, and wood.
If the ancestor has asked you to look for it then he must sense one nearby but be unable to locate it. This is likely due to the fact that many locations in this ruined city posses barriers shutting them off from outside magics.

OOC:
Sorry about that. I had a rather busy weekend.
Yogitus rubs the mark. He isn't thrilled about being marked without consent, but he knows it'll be useful in some situations. The danger will lie in anyone at the expedition taking notice and getting the wrong impression.

"To find the Dragon Pulse, huh. I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind its sudden need. To help with the tensions between your kind and theirs?" Yogitus points off seemingly in the direction of the expedition. "Do you have any idea how to begin, or where I should begin? Perhaps you have some direction on the next step. Is there any lore about where this object may hide here?"

Master give me patience. It would seem I have a road with many paths before me.

The left talon explains the mark will fade after about a day unless you encounter another with the mark. The kobolds are searching and so far magic scrying has revealed only that a Pulse is in the area. Think of it as a side job. If you locate it or any clues and inform us you will be rewarded.


If you have no more questions then you are escorted out of camp and pointed to the swamp where you can find paths to the expedition base.

And as quickly as the meeting started, Yogitus found himself standing in the swamp with another task before him. The Dragon Pulse, ancient teachings on Ki. The expedition. He wasn't sure of the connections of any of them, but he knew the only path was forward.

Only forward steps turn new leaves.

And with the mantra in mind, Yogitus began walking in the direction of the expedition.

With the directions of the Kobolds, and you note a small patrol trailing you somewhat stealthily a ways behind, you head north and seen see the swamp. It covers most of the land between the two rivers where they join. Their vague diretions and your wandering eventually lead to a trail leading into the swamp. However you note there are no wagon tracks.

@Yuun Do you want to follow the trail into the swamp, which looks to be half jungle, or keep looking for wagon tracks which you have yet to cross and should based on their direction of travel and where the kobolds took you?
