Hopefully the chaos of the keep would keep his presence from the newly arived house scion.

The decor of the single room house (one large room contains everything) reflects the brother's upbringing, spartan for the most part with a few hunting trophies adorning the walls. Most sit at the dining table, Koram tinkers away at a work bench, Ben (in cat form) suns himself in the windowsill, and Thelia lounges above them in a hammok strung between the rafters.

| − | Gerald: These aren't amateurs. Hesitation may get you killed.
| |

| |
| − | It wasn't so much what was said, but how Thelia kept staring at the ceiling that got on Melissa's nerves. She knew Thelia was right, she just wished she'd cut the "I don't care" act for even a little bit.

One seals already busted, and we have one skull so that leaves 11 more out there.

| − | Kellas: Cassius, what....
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Cassius: I draw power now from the dead. The spirits of tens of thousands of slain Karrnath soldiers. They fill my sword with power and strength. A power to CRUSH my father and lay WASTE to the hated Four Nations that have BLASPHEMED the gods to the point they no longer hear mortal men's prayers.
| |

| − | Kellas: By the Flame, what has happened to you....

| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Cassius: Unlikely. Though the release a Daelkyr might cause destruction that might rival it. Or....we might never know. Sometimes they destroy entire legions and turn cities in pagan monstrousities. Othertimes, they.....just cause the dead to rise and disappearances.....increasing just so steadily you never know how many are really gone.

| |

Come meet the captain.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Bella: :smirk: Oh dear how sad
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Name: Bella Labbra del Veleno
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Alignment/Race/Class: Half-elf, Neutral Evil, Swashbuckler 1/Ranger 4/Beastmaster 1/Animal (Snake) Lord 3/Assassin 1
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Personality: Bella is two things one a seductive woman who know how to get what she wants and two a cold hearted killer. She has a great love for snakes represented by her ten pet snakes of various breeds and two snake animal companions for a total of twelve snakes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Appearance: A casual look at Bella reveals a beautiful unarmed woman of noble decent but look closer and you will see those snakes around her head and neck are moving look closer again and you will see her walk is that of an alert swordsman look closer again and if your lucky you may see a some snakelike features and if you are very unlucky you will see a pair of sharp teeth going for the kill... and that is the last thing you'll ever see.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | History: Born in the Eldeen Reaches Bella always portrayed an affinity to snakes this disturbed her parents slightly but it was not until at the age of eighteen when her ex-boyfriend died from a snake bite in the middle of the night that her parents stopped her from having anything to do with them. Two weeks later they two died of snake bites. One week after that Bella sold the farm and moved to Fairhaven where she married a old wealthy noble who died one year later of a heart attack (no one ever noticed the bite marks of a snake on his genitals). Now wealthy woman who didn't want to manage an estate she sold it and bought an airship which she named the Fiery Freedom. Which she turned into a luxury cruiser which unknown to its guests was bugged all over and known only to some of her guests the fact that for the right price you could share her room (which was the best room there) for a night. Or if you couldn't pay that much there where several other ladies who would come and have a few glasses of champagne (its amazing how long it can take to finish a glass) with them. She took several lovers at intermittent points one of whom was Drake. He convinced her that she could earn more money by hiring herself out as a mercenary ship though she still had regular cruises and even expanded into an airship safari business. With the money now rolling in she bought two more ships both for luxury cruises and safaris while the Fiery Freedom went became a full time mercenary ship. Lyrandar then hired her two support Drake on his mission which bring us up to the present.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Cassius: Er, I hadn't thought of that. Are you volunteering?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Fracture: No, placing me in charge would not be a good idea. I have no affinity or interest in the overseeing of breather affairs. Besides, I will be accompanying you on this mission.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Cassius: I haven't authorized that.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Fracture: True but that fact has never stopped me before. Besides you're going to need all the help you can get for this plan to have any hope of success and I know the mournlands better than most of the scavengers.

| |

| |
| − | Cassius: why should i let you join it? we know nothing about you, who you serve or what your purpose here is.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Kael: I am a Magehound. I am a member of the Arcane Congress, i live to enforce the laws governing magic and have a lot of experience. you will most likely be facing wielders of the darker arts, the people who animated these corpses have broken the laws governing magic. and it is my Job, no, my Duty to make sure they are punished.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Cassius shivered a bit, there wasnt any emotion in Kael's statement. merely a cold statement of fact. A statement that Cassius knew Kael could carry out. with the same efficent and silent manner as he did with the specters.

| |

| |

| |
| − | Kael: You have a point, so the skulls should all be shattered to prevent misuse.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Ryan: Also a bad idea. For each skull destroyed, more powerful aberrations would be released from Kyber until the big guy is freed by the destruction of the last skull.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Cassius: *ugh* Now I know why you ordered a set of 13. We are basicially going to be in a race to secure all these items before the enemy can retrive and use even one.
