There she stood dressed in black with the light of the moon shining down upon the metal surfaces of the armor that poked out of the cloak. She tilted the brim of her hat and looked around the neighborhood. She wondered if there was any chance she would run into any more thrawls. With her little event this afternoon the vampire she is hunting has likely already found out she had arrived. Possibly,...hopefully that is he would send more of his slaves to try and dispatch her. She shrugged and continued into the establishment. It was the Desert Ice. It was very ironic... unless there was a sorcerer or some type of magic user inside that used spells to keep the glasses chilled and their tonics cold. Right now she would let her job be set aside for as long as it would allow. She wanted to enjoy a drink.
She pushed open the door and as most tavern experiences everyone inside turned to look to her. When their heads turned back around she continued forth to the bar. She sat herself upon a stool and wish she had the ears of an elf. She could only imagine the whispers going back and forth. The bartender came up to her drying off a mug. "What will you have Miss?" He asked. She looked up towards him and raised a finger upwards.
"One Honey mead. " She asked....
.......The night would go on uneventful as she drank at the tavern with her friend Parum. What her other companions did that was up to them. She had a few more drinks after that paying with a fuss. She hardly liked using her title to get discounts or free items. She was a normal person like everyone else. The title of inquisitor did not change that. After she was done she retired to one of the tavern's rooms. Once morning came she would find herself moving back towards the monastery to the rooms she took over as her base of operations. She already had all the plans laid out. As she did so she noticed she still had the chalice at her side. She sighed and pulled it forth and held it up.
The morning sun shined on it as she stared at it. Should she destroy it?... she did buy it and as she thought about it. It would be foolish to do so now. With her up against the mages guild she would likely have use of it. She had a few divine spells but she was skilled enough with a blade and crossbow that she did not need them if she activated it. The mages at the guild however..... lets just say they are not equipped well for close encounters. She smirked and tucked it away. They needed a destination, well she needed one. Again she wasn't going to force the others to help her or not. That was up to them. She made it to the monastery without a problem. She was a little disappointed that her prey didn't send anyone after her. She had to have made a good impression helping in the slaying of those thieves. Thieves,... more like brigands. Speaking of thieves,... Parum knew of the local thieves guild. She looked to see if her partner was still with her.

Vivian woke up from her sleep and found herself naked. She remembered what had happened and saw the sleeping Catarina beside her. She smiled as she slid back into her clothes. It was morning and it was time to decide what the two of them were going to do. Where they to help the inquisitor or were they going to look for work else where. She held up the pendant that the inquisitor gave her. It was a symbol of the order and it would protect her. However, the story the Inquisitor told her made he uneasy. They were not going up against a easy foe.... Then again it couldn't be worse then fighting Mindflayers. She climbed over and out of bed and lifted up her scythe. She was wondering where they could find some food. After all that fun she had last night with her new partner she was a bit hungry. From this day forth she would travel with Catarina. If anyone could protect her from her kin it would be her. Malkai was cool and all but... well he was kind of a asshole. Catarina was paranoid but... well she could have drow after her and perhaps someone with a little paranoia might spot a assassin before she did. She turned and smiled at the woman and bent down and pushed against her shoulder. "Hey Cat,... get up. Let's go find something to eat."
