[A grave yet thoughtful look appears on her face. That... bodes ill. But why...?
Roll an arcana check.
(ARCANA CHECK: 18+8=26. Pass.)
There's lots of concerning things to pick over in Sansa's sentence, but there's one thing in particular that catches Adaine's attention and guides her on the way from concern to outright alarm.]
...I'm not sure. We have to understand that the people here have very different cultural values than the ones we're accustomed to. For one, blood magic in and of itself is generally extremely rare where I come from, and seen as something inherently unclean and demonic. They have problems with the dead rising all on their own here and attacking and killing people. If you've been by the graveyard you've probably seen the barriers constructed.
The entire city's built to facilitate survival in an extremely hostile world, and they have a very... distant relationship to death. There's a very low survival rate here, considering how easy it is to die here, especially for Wakers. So I think it's probably something that could be negotiated if it's actually being done with good intentions, but... well, that's a big if, honestly...
But there's, um, one thing that really concerns me? You keep calling him 'the teacher'... did he offer an actual name?
