[@Claw2k11] "Because I was born to wield it." Maryvale replies as she sends a blast of dark energy his way through a swing of her sword. "I am what you would call 'chosen'. The Grand Marshal said so himself - I have the power to tame this beast, like how the Devil himself tamed the mighty beast of Cerberus. They say the swords have souls, and I can already tell my soul is perfectly aligned with Darkstalker. However, I will not succumb to it's power - I will prevail, and I will control it." She was determined to control Darkstalker. If she didn't have the strength, she certainly had the willpower. [hr] [@BytheSpleen] The bartender looks a little surprised, then smiles. "Aye, it just so 'appens I do." He replies before handing over the appropriate amount of change in gold coins, as well as his room key. "Room number and directions are on the key. Shouldn't be too hard to find." [hr] [@Simple Unicycle] "Wait, Sheil's gone?!" Exclaims Riz, shocked. "Oh, fuck this! We gotta go find her ASAP!" He almost storms right out of the place in search of her, though Tiz holds him back by the collar. "Sheil's gone...?" Tiz asks in a calm though worried tone. "What do you mean by 'possibly dead'? What happened?" Kin'Kro grunts and sheathes the sword, apparently reverting to himself, though only the other Orc may realise it. With a grunt he folds his arms. "We'll talk later." He says to the other Orc, before listening to what Connor and the rest had to say.
