[back to 740 event][Back to Main]
A cowled dark-robed man quietly arrives.
A cowled dark-robed man says, "We've some news of a varying nature."
Hakwea asks, "Good, bad, or both?"
A cowled dark-robed man says, "Bad, and possibly worse."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "It will take longer than I had thought to construct the key. There are some issues with... degradation due to the years the components have endured."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "As the pattern has not been concrete insofar as I have seen, this is not an entirely pressing issue."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "That would be the 'bad'."
Nehari asks, "And the 'worse'?"
A cowled dark-robed man says, "The possible worse would be that I and several of my colleagues have felt some familiar, yet strange presences during the past few days."
Vulterith asks, ""presences"?"
Nindon asks, "Familiar?"
Hakwea asks, "Demons?"
A cowled dark-robed man says, "It may be that either Vellinos left something behind, or the Triad is actively seeking to cover his tracks."
Speaking softly to Auriia, you ask, "Vellinos had an invisible demon, correct?"
A cowled dark-robed man says, "It was mentioned to me."
Vulterith nods to you.
Auriia nods to you.
Vulterith says, "It moved as something like a heat wave..."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "So. Security has been increased here, but our efforts are rather pooled toward creating this key."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "Do be on your toes, as the saying would go."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "I should hate if a certain few of you would meet some sort of grisly death."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "If it is a major demon, then it likely is imbued with no small amount of magical power and talent. And a fairly large amount of cunning, or simply brute force."
Speaking in Guildspeak, Evarin says, "Major...."
Evarin closes his eyes for a moment.
Hakwea says, "Something that rivals the arkati coming to attack us."
Hakwea says, "I feel honored."
Hakwea says, "The triad thinks so highly of us."
Nindon asks, "So how has security been increased?"
A cowled dark-robed man asks, "If I told you, then it wouldn't be very effective, now would it?"
Speaking in Guildspeak, Evarin says, "I dont think much, if anything will be against a damned Major demon."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "Especially if there's an invisible stalker wandering about, listening."
Speaking to a cowled dark-robed man, Vulterith asks, "Could you explain how powerful a major demon is in the scheme of things?"
Speaking to a cowled dark-robed man, Vulterith asks, "Say... A Vathor?"
Speaking to a cowled dark-robed man, Vulterith asks, "Or, something far more powerful?"
Speaking in Guildspeak, Evarin says, "If it is anything near a major demon we face, I doubt it is time for anything but death."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "You're familiar with vathor here? Hm, oh, yes. That cultist fellow had a fetish for them."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "No matter."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "Regardless. You seem to confuse my terms. A cultural misunderstanding, I suppose."
Speaking in Guildspeak, Evarin says, "Abyran'ra, was it? I've trouble remembering their exact designation."
Nehari says, "Abyran'ra."
Vulterith says, "Abyran'ra were the angry ones."
Speaking in Guildspeak, Evarin asks, "Spines missing, and the like?"
A cowled dark-robed man says, "If he had the power to summon such a being, I doubt he'd have used subterfuge. He'd have just razed things to the ground and taken what he wished."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "Something like that, I suppose. I have not heard enough descriptions of the demon to hazard a guess at its species. They are quite numerous."
Nindon asks, "When you said you felt 'familiar' presences, were you referring to the Triad? To Vellinos? Or to some particular kind of other planar being?"
A cowled dark-robed man says, "We perceived some vague sense of lingering demonic energy after we sensed a disturbance."
Speaking to Evarin, Garvane asks, "I wonder if we could placate it by sacrificing Querthose to it?"
Auriia stares at Garvane.
A cowled dark-robed man says, "I second the motion. You have my full authority to do so."
A cowled dark-robed man looks over towards Garvane and nods.
Nehari laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.
A cowled dark-robed man says, "Regardless."
Speaking to a cowled dark-robed man, Venrath asks, "Where was the disturbance?"
Vulterith snickers.
Speaking in Guildspeak to a cowled dark-robed man, Evarin says, "Perhaps as bait."
Evarin shrugs.
Auriia gawks at a cowled dark-robed man.
Drigore smirks.
Speaking in Guildspeak, Evarin says, "Stake him just outside."
Mekthros says, "I'm glad that's settled, then."
Hesha appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Mekthros says, "Moving on."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "In our research chambers. They've now been... warded more strongly. There has been no disturbance since."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "So."
Speaking to a cowled dark-robed man, Venrath asks, "More stolen magic?"
A cowled dark-robed man says, "No, simply an odd feeling followed by the lack of one and aforementioned demonic inclinations."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "It could simply be a grantris let loose looking for bones to chew on."
A cowled dark-robed man looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs.
A cowled dark-robed man says, "However, it seemed to be worth mentioning, what with the subterfuge and skullduggery commencing in the immediate area."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "And the last thing I wish is to be caught by surprise. So. Do be on your guard."
Nehari asks, "How long do you anticipate working with the materials procurred from the various sites yestereve?"
A cowled dark-robed man says, "I've more research to conduct. I shall endeavor to let you know of anything worth mentioning. You only need see the hand and know that I will arrive."
Speaking to a cowled dark-robed man, Venrath says, "And we contact you... how? If we see something of note..."
Vulterith nods to the dark-robed man.
A cowled dark-robed man says, "Alert Vathezir."
Speaking in Guildspeak, Evarin asks, "Should you be summoned if the demon makes an appearance?"
Speaking in Guildspeak, Evarin says, "Or, only if killed."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "Oh, I suppose. You can always attempt to send it back to the void."
Speaking softly to a cowled dark-robed man, you ask, "How would we go about such?"
Speaking to a cowled dark-robed man, Venrath asks, "Advice on how to do that?"
A cowled dark-robed man says, "I've already sent for my retinue of palestra. My lone two are getting on in years."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "So."
Speaking to a cowled dark-robed man, Jurporia asks, "Will our magicks work against it?"
A cowled dark-robed man says, "I suppose that's something you'll see, should you even encounter it."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "As I said, it could simply be an oddity of this guild."
Speaking to a cowled dark-robed man, Venrath asks, "Would it be here that was... approached, do you think? Or are other places at risk?"
A cowled dark-robed man says, "I doubt they'd have an interest anywhere else."
Speaking in Guildspeak to a cowled dark-robed man, Evarin asks, "Any other matters? Is there any other form of aid that is requried?"
A cowled dark-robed man says, "As they've already visited elsewhere."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "Not at this time."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "So, I shall bid you good evening."
Speaking to a cowled dark-robed man, Venrath says, "And have you heard the rumors of the one named Ladrial? It has been rumored that she is trying to obtain demonic... assistance."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "Demons do not 'assist'."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "They are ripped from wherever they are and made to comply. Any such notion is rather... laughable."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "As I was saying."
A cowled dark-robed man says, "Good evening."
A cowled dark-robed man turns and quietly strides out.
