Rowan Dawson:
Rowan smiles as she sits there studying Simon.
"Thank you for coming"
"Barb I am reminded that with ghost rock you can speak with the dead, how complete does the body have to be"?
"The Templars have some ghost rock they might let us have, I have a few ounces"
Barb nodded.
"Sure! To use the miracle of "Deathspeak", all I need is something important to the victim. Aaron's body was important to him so that worked, but his sword or something personal would be fine."
With Trejo's help, they soon located a sufficient chunk of Ghost Rock and the suitcase belonging to "Harmon Mullins", the unfortunate victim of the night before.
There wasn't any reason to perform the miracle in a particular place, so the items were brought to the mess tent. Barb set up the chunk of Ghost Rock on a scarred plastic tray and used her abilities to set it on fire. It burned with an eerie green glow, dancing as if a spirit was trapped within.
"I'm trying to summon a Manitou, an evil spirit. If I can bind it to my will, It'll go to the Happy Hunting Grounds and find Harmon for us and bring him back, at least to speak to us. I can't compel Harmon to cooperate, but I can't imagine why he wouldn't want us to find his killer! If all goes well, this should take a minute."
It looked like nothing was happening. Barb stared intently into the ghostly green flame. Then her expression became more and more fierce. Then, finally, she broke off.
"Sorry, I tried. For some reason, I couldn't get the Manitou to comply. It was useless, I had to break contact."
The whole process took about a half hour, 45 minutes. Eveyone else was finished breakfast by then, but several had gathered around the table to watch. There was disappointment when it looked like they failed in whatever they were doing.
