[Heinrich] As the group continued farther out of the city Heinrich took notice of the commotion in back and noticed they were two people stronger. Two woman had joined them and from what he saw they carried letters of introduction as well. He smirked and wondered if they should have waited longer then before.. oh well no sense on dwelling on it. He had to lead the group still so he decided to just wave over at them in a gesture, the gesture was one of 'come here' kind. Once they had reached him , which they certainly would, he then began to explain once they were out of eavesdropping from the cities locals who stepped outside the city. "Greetings,...as you know from the man, I am Heinrich. I am leading this mission for which you are called for." He explained. He then turned slightly and aimed the tip of his staff towards Aeria and the jewel at the top of it glowed at his will and acted as a extension of his mind. Then magically in the air in front of her a bag full of gold dropped which would equal to her share of the gold. "That is your share of the gold for just coming to this calling. Now on to me explaining more about this mission,... Nova would you be a dear and show her the piece of paper you took from the table that has the picture of the chalice and the door to the two young women? Thanks, that chalice you will see is our target, that is a ancient artifact that if in the wrong hands can spell the doom for us all. The door you see there has a seal on it which is weakening and will soon vanish." He paused as he let the words he spoke bounce around in their heads. "We are pretty much liberating it from its resting place, the Chalice of Silence, I doubt that myself and the high priest are the only ones looking for it, nor are we the only ones looking into that chamber or the door. I know this because I am not the only one in this world who knows how to use scrying spells." He left them with that knowledge and finished speaking. Introductions from the others will be at their expense not his. They could introduce themselves to the new arrivals themselves. The Golem continued to follow Heinrich with little emotion or without care that it was being observed by the odd human. ------------------------------------------ [Cassandra] Cassandra turned head to observe the newcomers and she rose her brow. More people?... wonder if there are more coming and if we will be running into more people. However, they were rather late then usual and already she had suspicions. There could have been rumors about everything and they did come from within the city. Yes they could have entered from the other entrances and found their way here ,but what if its not a coincidence. I am sure there are rumors about letters being handed to random people about Kurn and it would be easy to fabricate them with magic as well... She then sighed and raised her shoulder, or I could just be paranoid and they could actually be adventurers and that they were just late to the show. She was then joined by Ishmael who moved to stand beside her. "Don't worry they are safe, I do have the ability to sense auras and theirs are good." He said and she nodded. Ishmael the paladin continued to stand by her for the duration and the pace they had set was getting them more and more distant from the city. She liked it better out here. The air was thinner and less thick with that of sweat and food. That scent was replaced by the smell of the party itself and the surrounding area. The sound of the birds was heard more loudly as well and were of the wild birds not domesticated pigeons or doves. She then looked to Ishmael and she thought of starting a conversation ,but... she kind of already had one with him. Perhaps it was time to start to converse with the others and when she thought of who she could talk to she decided that De would be the next one. From him she would work her way up and start to understand them. You can tell about someone from the way they talk. She simply just stopped walking and waited for De to reach her and continued the pace at his side. He was big for a human just like Ishmael..well he was bigger then the paladin but that didn't matter so much. "De was it?... names Cassandra, you can call me Cass for short if you wish." She waited for a response to see what kind of response or reaction he would have. To see if he could handle walking, talking, and whether he could work with a drow. Most people have heard of her kind ,but if his area was a little out of the way then most cities he may not have. Urthak's flicked his tongue as he took in two new smells. One from a red headed human and one from a elf. He watched them carefully as the conversation behind him started. He studied their faces a bit as they were told of the mission. ================ {Meanwhile,back in Krystallen} Father Daniel was moving about the city as he headed back to the center of the city where the church was located. He was being escorted by a two knights of the city for protection. He did not want it ,but the lord of this city told him he would have to suffer their presence because he was a important figure for the people. You could see the truth in it as some people would suddenly begin to pray as he walked by seeing that his appearance was a blessing for them. Once he arrived at the church the knights followed him inside, he sighed and shook his head. 'They were ordered to replace Ishmael as my personal protection' He concluded and as he moved around the benches and exited the praying chamber and into the hall in the back he back to notice something wrong. In the back of the hallway the door, that led to his chambers, was open. He looked to the two knights and nodded to them. They quickly brought their hands to their hilts and moved in front of him. He began to notice something as the three of them progressed forward. The other priests were missing it would seem... until he looked out from a window in the hall way. This window gave him a view of the church's courtyard and what he saw were bodies. Dead bodies of the priests and he grimaced at the way they were slaughtered. Their limbs severed and he could swear some had been killed from blunt trauma alone. He looked forward to the knights who had gained a bit of feet from him and moved to join them. When they reached the door and began to move through their door way he saw a woman sitting on his desk. She held two long swords in her hands as she smiled. Once they were all inside the door behind them slammed closed and locked. When they turned to look behind them and then forward again what they saw was the woman's legs replaced by a long powerful reptilian tail and she had gained two extra arms with two more swords in those hands. He long hair dropping down her back. "A... Marilith" Spoke Daniel and he could sense that the two knights were bit terrified. "Easy you two I will pro...tect you." He was about to finish when she threw two of her swords impaling the knights and sending them to fall onto the floor. "Now, now... don't make this difficult... where is Ishmael? If you tell me I will make your death quick." She asked. Daniel narrowed his eyes at her and moved into a combative pose as he began to be surrounded by a white aura. "Who are you?..." he responded. His ignoring of her question with a question seemed to irritate her. She showed it with a sigh and then with a twist of her body her tail flung around slamming him against the wall. The hit made him feel dazed and out of breathe but before he could recover he felt her cold hands press up against his neck as she pinned him to the wall. Her snake liked tongue slithering out. "You are not asking the questions,.. I AM."
