Editing Midnight: the Shadow Killers player Bill (section)

=== Game 2 ===
Kyuad met up with his old friend Diego Possiogn, a legate.  Kyuad was trying to determine what had ransacked and raided Walden's house when he noticed Diego coming up the path toward the house, so he stashed his gear and ran inside to get a broom and look all "hey, I'm cool!"

Diego arrived with a dorn servant named Gertrude and an orc bodyguard who didn't speak very well.  They were escorting three armored trailers holding a chimera, a drider, and some owlbears.  He claimed that the "drider" was a jungle elf that had modified his own body to have the abdomen of a spider.  Others were with Diego, but the number is unclear.

Diego wished to speak with Kyuad, but mainly used the opportunity to put more distance between the two of them.  Most likely, Diego wishes to remind the rabble with him that he's in charge, and hopes that his old friend is going to help him do that.

Also, there was a raven that somehow was able to talk.  Diego called it Neega.  Kyuad is thinking that most likely this was a dire raven who suffered from a ''feeblemind'' spell in order to allow an astirax (which are normally not talkative) to possess it.  It's probably an astirax because it mentioned "smelling" something, and there was something about that basement that seemed to radiate power.  However, there's no way it could have sensed Kyuad as a channeler - it had been a long time since he had cast a spell, and had moved since then anyway. 

In order to get out of this situation, Kyuad's going to have to relent and act as though he's grovelling for his life - really put on a good show for the orcs to remind them who their boss is.  Then again, Kyuad did just see that orc Durgaz come out of the woods.  He'd be smart to keep his distance.  If his friends decide to do something stupid and it escalates into a fight, and '''if''' Neega is as astirax, that thing is our first priority by far - if it doesn't die then Kyuad probably will.  We'll also have to make sure that no one opens up the trailers - we don't want to fight a chimera at all.  We also have to make sure the house doesn't get burned - although the previous fire didn't burn it so there's a chance it is resistant to that.
