Will need to arrange to give mark,” she added, turning back to the priest. He nodded. “I know a woman; I’ll write down the address.” He jotted down a few lines on a scrap of paper. “She’s not one of us, but she’s very skilled - and very discreet.” Eryn nodded. “Always good.” ”Agreed. But you didn’t need privacy for that?” Eryn shook her head. “These.” She removed the spikes from her satchel. The priest’s eyes widened. “This one full, this one empty. Took from hemalurgist.” ”A rogue hemalurgist?” The priest repeated, shocked. He shook his head. “How did he know the art?” ”Said his father knew. Learned from grandfather.” The priest frowned. “I’ll let our people know. You have a name?” Eryn nodded, giving it to him. “Take care of these?” ”Of course.” The priest assured her. “I have some aluminum foil in my chambers; it should keep the charge until I can get this properly stored.” ”Good.” Eryn tilted her head slightly, thinking. “Man came to us before. Basil Naseir. Know him?” The priest frowned. “Naseir? He owns the aluminum mine near here, and he’s known to be a devout follower of our master. But the latest reports said he was in the city. If he’s here...” Scroll’s eyes narrowed. “I don’t have many people available - the Lord Survivor’s been sending them elsewhere - but I might be able to spare one or two.” Eryn shook her head. “No need. Basil ask us work for him. Will say yes. Then watch; no suspicions. ”If this one keep mouth shut,” she added, glaring at Drae. Ladashwy relaxed after Eryn responded. Then tensed at the thing about Basil. I knew something was off about him. Nothing seemed to add up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Quote Happy early birthday, @AonEne! As requested, one drawing of Marie. I apologize; the skirt of her robe doesn't have a very consistent coat of ink because I'm trying out some new markers. But I do think you'll like it.

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Quote I know they don't work in quote boxes, I'd just rather put the tag instead of saying "Ene".

The order Stay within twenty meters of Adilie at all times settled into her, and she clenched her fists, trying to scream in rage. No luck there either. She stormed a few paces back to the tavern, leaning against the wall and practically steeping herself in pewter-fueled fury.

I'll add the questions now. (thank you for pointing that out.) Ladashwy looked at the priest. "What do you mean when you say the aluminum will keep the charge? Also, what do you mean by a charge." She pulled out her notebook and pen, eyes sparkling with excitement. "Oh, just so you know, the spike that is full spiked a thug." Well, that information would be important if he ever planned to use it. Probably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The priest glanced at the scholar with some amusement. “The Survivor would like you. That is why he formed us: to question and seek answers.” Eryn nodded. “Think some on Aluminum. When have thought come to me. I will reveal then.” She inclined her head toward the priest. “Done now. Will go Steel Inn.” With that she turned, heading for the door.

Well, I know aluminum is alomanticly inert. Maybe that has something to do with it. "Do we know where this Steel Inn is?

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) The Steel Inn was a rather run down place, but Raven had asked for the finest suite and he had gotten his money's worth. Honestly, he'd been expecting to pay quite a bit more... "Jhardor!" said Raven, calling for the only servant he'd brought with him. The kindly old man was exceedingly loyal, but, unfortunately, loyal to him, not the cause. It was the opposite for Mirette. By the Survivor, how he wished he could fuse those two into one person. That wasn't to say, however, that Jhardor lacked faith entirely he just... needed a little shove sometimes. "Yes, my Lord, what can I do for you?" Jhardor bowed slightly. "I'm expecting company soon, make up some bites to eat, will you?" Edited January 4, 2021 by Shard of Thought 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
