The mark is a horrid sigil, a skin growth or scar the size of a head. Its design does not look familiar to Faylinn. It spreads over the man's sternum and its bottom portion is covered in blood and gore from the wound.
She can feel magic at work there. A link to the source of those men's powers, perhaps. It is active still, but fades as the man's life is fading... Slowly but inevitably, it seems. |
"I recommend that you hold still. I will have to do a bit of experimentation." With that little of a warning, Faylinn takes out her dagger and quickly slices a straight line across a part of the sigil. |

The man does as he is told and his eyes grow wide and he screams as the sigil is being cut. He tries to stop her, using both bloodied hands and letting go of his gut in the process.
The wound itself fizzles and a powerfully scented vapor escapes. Blood oozes from the wound slowly.

Finn finds shadow and muck. His mind is unraveling, torn memories affected by the presence still in his head!
He glimpses the dark ritual summoning the Dark Mark upon thousands at a time: a bloody orgy of gore, sacrifices and rewarded survivors. The madness is unleashed upon them by thaumaturges, the reward is a mirror of the sanity they had before the ritual, and improved physical prowess. Before Finn can see the sorcerer who orchestrates the thing, he is assaulted via the mind of this would-be victim.

He curses stiffly. Finn calls on the Pattern to defend his mind, and strains to keep the presence out of his being. Then, if he gains an inch of 'space', he pulls the trigger on his pistol, angles it up, and pulls the trigger again. |

Faylinn mutters a curse and claps the hand not full of dagger to the man's gut. "You fool," she says, sounding annoyed. "I said I had no intention of killing you. Get a hold of yourself!" |

Through he gritted teeth he says, "It burns!" He tries to look at his companion and Finn and says, "If it be with my last breath, I curse the both of you to damnation and hell! I will join with you there!" His eyes begin to glow, his expression full of hatred... His next words are robotic, "HE. Sees. You."

Finn protects his mind fairly successfully, but if it weren't for the Pattern, the mind opposite his would have gained ground and could have stolen a memory or two. As the man's head is shot through, Finn's mind returns to him like a magnet and he finds himself panting, covered in blood, sweat and brain bits. Finn now sports a powerful headache from the experience, and the Pattern blazing in his mind.

Covered in gore Finn's chocolate colored eyes seem to darken with his ire. He walks over to the man Fay is working with and gestures for her to stand aside. He puts a foot on the man's chest, and looks him in the eyes. He yells not at the man, but at the being behind the empowering sigil upon the flesh of the dead and dying. "Coward! Your puppets are meat and you are nothing! Come for us if you have the spine! Do you hear me? You are nothing!"
Finn aims the pistol at the eyes of the man, and says coldly, "I will see you dead and the earth salted where you fall." And unless someone stops him, there will be more brains and gore. |

| "Finn," Faylinn protests mildly. "You are only likely to amuse it if you yell at it. Besides, I have not completed my experiment yet; would you move your heel two inches to the right, please?" She releases the guts she's been trying to hold in, switches the dagger to that hand, and moves to trace another cut across the design. |

| "It tried to get inside me, Faylinn. Tried to steal my thoughts or poison my mind." Finn stares at the man through the fiery light fo the Pattern. "I will kill him, or it, or whatever it claims to be." He moves his foot, "It fears us. Or else he would come himself. Coward. I have been slaughtering his kind along the Black Road for months now. He is no better." |

| Faylinn pauses and looks up at Finn. "You know as well as I do that you and I do not have the same set of skills," she says, and it's a very gentle rebuke. "Let me try this cut and see what happens, and then I will investigate further." |

The cut releases another small cloud of vapor, weaker this time. The laughter has left the man and he regards the two Amberites with a painful expression on his face, his goat eyes pleading.
The color of the sigil is slowly beginning to fade.
The voice that emanates from the man is clear and loud despite its calm tone, "A coward? A coward?!?!! Hahahaha. Do you really think your threats would force a coward out?! Ha, now it's time for me to make a threat. Leave this place while you can, whoever you are... Do not mettle with these Shadows further. Return from whence you came."

Finn frowns slightly, "I am aware, Faylinn. I am aware." He watches her make another cut, the frown becoming a scowl as whatever commanded these men speaks through the one under Fay's knife. At the words, Finn smiles grimly, "Craven spawn! Come and make me, if you have half the nerve of your puppets!!"
He looks to Faylinn, "Are we done here?" Finn glances around, "There's work to be done, and it will not be pleasant." |

| "Are we being blunt and brutal today?" Fay asks with interest. "Or did you want to go fishing for blowfish?" Her head tilts slightly towards their prisoner's head. |
