Wakey, Wakey
"Heironymus"
The cleric heard his name being spoken quietlya nd quickly roused from a deep slumber. Trips in the wild quickly taught one how to sleep deeply quickly - and how to wake equally as quickly. At least it felt quick to the cleric.
Raina was speaking his name. Upon waking he looked around and quickly spotted the cleric. Raina's nod in that direction helped as well. He didn't know what was going on.
The two exchanged quizzical looks and slowly approached Quarlin. Was it better to speak or get a look first? He didn't know? So the two of them approached from opposite sides - trying to keep some distance while getting a front view - incase he Quarlin did something in his haze.
The slowly approached and looked . . .
(I'm assuming the action here because it seems fairly obvious, at least to me. Feel free to change it if needed.)

The Door (not the band, The Doors)
Quarilin, watched the door, the path of power, mesmerized by its intricate and changing patterns as his mind struggled to make sense of what he was seeing. He was only half aware that he was in a trance of sorts. It was kind of a waking dream state, where all he really saw was the door. All else was blurry, fuzzy, and dim in his peripheral vision. With his eyes glazed over, looking as milky yellow pearls iridescently reflecting the flickers of firelight, there was nothing in his world now but the door and its enigmatic, kaleidoscopic variations in patterns. Was it a message of some kind? Quarilin struggled with that question in his mind as time seemed to wax and wane on the verge of meaninglessness.
(OOC not sure what Im supposed to be getting from looking at this door, but in character I have basically lost myself in watching it. More so than anyone should lose one's self in anything).

Raina ~ Hey! *kick* Wake up!
Her eyes flicked to Heironymus before she sighed.
Guess I'm doing it.
The Umbral continued to sit motionless as they approached him. His yellow eyes had a really creepy look to them, almost like they had been covered in shimmering gauze. She tried not to look at the door as she positioned herself behind him.
“If this doesn’t work,” she muttered to the cleric out of the corner of her mouth, “I’ve got smelling salts we can try.”
Her right had strayed to one of her daggers, but she didn’t grab it. The Gods forbid intentions would come off wrong; or leave her unprepared. With her left, she grasped Quarlin’s shoulder and began to shake it.
“Quarlin.”

Quarilin
He was only just aware of garbled speech. Then a shaking of his shoulder. He then jolted awake only to close his eyes, and lurch forward. With a thud he hit the ground waking again from the sudden inertial change.
Quarilin sat up, blinking his dry eyes for moisture, and looked around at his surroundings, his gaze falling on his fellow adventurers.
"Raina? Heironymous? What's going on? Is it my watch already?"
Feeling confused, and even more so perplexed at the looks of concern from his companions, his last thoughts before falling into a trance began to flow like molasses back into his head. This was no longer a time for secrets.
"You two are going to think I'm crazy but, something in the fire told me to study the doors for the path. I'm not sure the path has been revealed to me yet. Maybe on a subconscious level, but I don't remember much. It seems to me as if I only began watching the patterns only a moment ago."

Doorways, the gateway to imagination
"Hmmm . . . well, they all have messages anyway. Did you get anything from your studies besides a headache? It is probably about time to pick a door to go forward. Any suggestions?"

Doorways to the unknown
"Well,as i said, I don't remember anything being imparted to me, but this: The door I was studying is the "Path of Power". I believe whatever path we take, the path will test us. Seeing as it is a cult we seek, followers of a given religion, we would need a "Path of Faith" instead. You were also studying a doorway. Did something in the fire set you upon such a study? What did your study reveal to you?"
After a sufficient pause to allow for a response, Quarilin says,"Well I think we need to get moving and explore further, but I will agree with the consensus of the group's decision as to which path we take and what we do next. I'm actually at a loss for ideas at the moment."

Raina ~ Let's see what's behind Door number 2!
“Something in the fire? Quarlin…” she looked at him doubtfully.
Raina turned to face each of the doors in turn. They did nothing but make her slightly ill; the patterns still seemed to be giving her some type of vertigo effect.
“If you haven’t figured out anything more in your hours of staring at that door, then I’m forced to agree with Heironymus’s earlier conclusion. I say the Path of Faith. We are, after all, looking for a cult.” She shrugged her shoulders and continued, “Besides, I’m not on bad terms with Elarii at all.”
At least I hope I’m not, she mused silently to herself. He’d probably get a kick out of how we are all being manipulated for a greater cause.

in agreement
Quarilin shrugs,"I didn't say that nothing came from my time of studying the Path of Power, I'm only saying that the benefits might not be obviously evident. However, I am in full agreement. We should take the path of faith with Heironymous taking point. If the path does test us, he would be the most likely to know how to pass its tests."
Quarilin grabs his gear and prepares to move on from this foyer and into the unknown.
"Ready when you all are.", he says with a quirky smirk.
