Thalen was in a tavern by the time the messenger found him. It wasn't really hard to find Rath'Kár warriors due to their masks and colorful attire. The skara was having a drink when the messenger found him and he pretty much dismissed him at first but at the promise of not only reward but a great hunt.for the mastermind of the Lurker attack. He put on his mask after downing his drink in a large gulp and practically ran to Lord Haklo's meeting with the messenger struggling to keep up.
The Skara hunter arrived to the meeting just when everyone except one or two and he was clearly about to explain what he was requesting to them all.
"I am glad that you could all make it" The nobleman said and giving the others a small bow of his head as a seemingly show of respect. He had waited for all to arrive within an appropriate time to explain. "As I have explained to him" He started, gesturing to Xavier. "I have sent for you because the House Mages have investigated the Lurkers and have deduced that they are being controlled and its suspected that the mastermind might be in the nearby mountain caves as stated by trustworthy sources. I am going to be leading a small group to find and either capture or kill the threat, or find and report the location to a larger force. The caves are treacherous which is the reason for the small group. I offer you an oppertunity to join and not only will you be rewarded with riches but titles as it is fitting for such a task" He said to them all with his arms spread as if gesturing to them all. "If you accept, accommodations will be given to you in the Desol Estate where you will be fitted with gear and will be able to rest until dawn which is when the group shall make its way to the caverns"
"If it means glory of hunting down such a worthy prey, you have my strength to add to your quest" Thalen the Skara Hunter said to the nobleman, stepping forward with a hand resting on his whip and a smile creeping beneath his mask.
