“I think I’ve seen them before…” Kathlin said thoughtfully from where she sat beside Liaena. “Down at the docks? …Although there’s so much building works down there, I assumed that fort belonged to the Stormwind Guard”

“Gnngh” Liaena grumbled, leaning forward to plant both elbows on the table. “I don’t like them”

“….”

Looking up, she addressed the main speaker, Darian. “Did you see that champion that they had? That last hit Doin gave him should have ripped him open, but it was like he didn’t feel it. I’ve never seen anything human – anything[i] living[/i], act like that” 

“You think they’re… undead?”

There was a very faint trace of disbelief in Kathlin’s voice, which Liaena rounded on. “Oh come[b] on[/b]. You saw it too!”

“…I’m not sure what I saw” Kathlin mumbled after a pause. Turning, she gave the other an imploring look. “He might not have bled but Li, you could probably make something that does that. And it makes sense that he would have come doped up; they were clearly planning to fight”

“I know I’ve seen their leader before” Liaena said decisively. Ignoring Kathlin, she turned back to Darian. “Do you know anything about that man that was doing all of the talking, at all? Is he new? High up with them?”

“….And does nobody really know anything about whoever it is that is backing them? No rumours, or anything?” Liaena demanded after a pause. Looking around the table, she searched for any sort of feedback from the others faces. “I mean, you’ve basically got a guy, that nobody knows anything about, funding his own private army and having them build fortresses at strategically sensible points. Call me stupid, but that sounds like a dumb idea for the city to let them get away with it”
