Urindel bows silently before the grand chorus, then turns looking to be escorted away.

Above Kiara's left ear a tiny sprite frowns at Lyeas "We're going with him? The dark one? Son of shadows! The foul offspring of the demon house and queen of spiders!?"

"Thee boy is not of true drow blood. Only half of him is evil. Probably thee lower half."

Kiara waves idly at the fey buzzing around her head, trying to call them into some semblance of order. I'm not sure how I'll keep Lyeas from doing anything, she mutters to herself, then louder says We'll make you proud, sister, and father too.

"We sure will! You'll be ever so proud! Bursting at your sides with pure liquid proudness. Like a really ripe proudfuirt hanging low on the vine. All pinched that the corners as if you're fitting to spray proudness all over the place. I think I just made myself kind of woozey actually. Maybe you should do something to manage your capacity for pride just in case we are particularly successful."

A high elf feygent approaches Urindel and escorts him from the central vault to the main reliquary. She glows a dim blue, illuminating the array of artifacts affixed to the walls, most of them dating to the end of the Alodantric Dynasty. A thick stone sarcophagus leans upright in a central recess. "Do you know what this is, Urindel the Clever Jig?"
Silently she reaches out and presses a pattern on the side of the sarcophagus just so. A line of blue light bisects the thick stone from head to toe. Inside, a plush padded humanoid shape has perhaps a dozen small scraps of brightly glowing mummified flesh carefully laid into it. "This is the High Aescendant Emperor Alodantriel Faelynn." She bows her head in adoration. The luminescence of these tiny scraps of flesh cause Urindel to turn his head and shade his eyes.
"One of these pieces of the Aescendant was recovered two hundred years ago from a catacomb on the shore of the silver coast. It was kept in the Larrui keep in the Gneeshi isles until it was brought here during the cataclysm." She turns to look at Urindel. "It was you who recovered this shard of the Aescendant. High Lady Larrui, Mistress of the Mere had sent you into a very dangerous place. Through your clever resourcefulness, stealth and deft hands, you were able to succeed." She takes a chain shirt off of the wall, and pulls it over Urindel's head, adjusting it to his arms and chest. "Your determination, bravery and strength..." She wraps a belt around his waist and attaches a morningstar to it. "Your- cunning." She slides a sheathed rapier into his belt. The sarcophagus closes silently. She finishes equipping him with a pack, a shortbow and survival gear. "Are you prepared to serve your goddess Araeshi?" She breaths heavily "Follow me." She leads him towards the vault's foyer and the tall bronze doors.

Lyeas watches Odessa as she makes her way down the great tree, waving a silent farewell to her as she goes. As she disappears around a branch, Lyeas says to his still-present sister, "Peh, what's the bloody difference, Vashanote or Messo... note...? One bunch a' rich snobs or t'other. Don't see why we don't jus' tell 'em whatever we bring up goes to th' 'ighest bidder an' watch 'em race to throw bantams at us. They should know better'n anyone they gotta pay for what they want!" Turning toward Kiara, Lyeas shrugs saying, "Eh, either way, you should prob'ly do most a' th' talkin'. I'd never get that damn biddy name right..." Turning away, Lyeas mutters, barely loud enough for Kiara to hear him, "An', for what it's worth, father would be proud of ya," and begins to climb down the tree in the direction of the pier.

To Draven Trumaris
Lucian bows and gestures to the door, and follows Draven back inside. Lucian's eyes drift for a moment, as if in deep thought. "I think I know the perfect spot in Avernus for a tower. Where the sky is the perfect shade of red, close enough to the pits to make use of them, but far enough away that the screams are just out of earshot." He says with a wide, toothy grin. "I do have a few, practical questions. Will I be able to identify the titans? If the titans are down there, how can we bring them back here?"

"So you are volunteering to head the extraction? Excellent, I had hoped that you would. We do not require the entire body, only the essence. What is left of the soul, if you will, of the old gods." Draven inhales a pinch of snuff in a quick movement. The scent of spore hangs in the air briefly. "There are some uses for the flesh, as well, and although profitable, they hardly compare to the fortune we will receive for the sale of the essence in the citadel market.
Bring me all the information you gather regarding the old gods, including, if you can, their location. They are huge, Lucian, titanic. You will know them when you see them. I will provide you with the means for extraction after we have assessed just what lies below. I assure you, coaxing out stubborn souls is our business." Draven looks at Lucian, then meaningfully at the barge behind him. "You're not afraid of heights are you?"

"To gain real power, Fear must be conquered, and bend it to our will." Lucian glances over toward the barge, and with an almost imperceptible shudder says "I have been through the Citadel, but never used one of those blasted things."

Urindel looks around at his unfamiliar surroundings while feeling as though he's done this before, as he silently follows Liurra.

Arctorious makes his way to the Guild quarters and loudly, with the flat of his gloved fist, pounds on Dairmidias door, bellowing: "THEY'VE FOUND US OUT!!! THEY KNOW ABOUT OUR GREAT PLOT TO HURL FABION TO HIS DOOM VIA THE DEMON IN THE BOX!! QUICKLY!! LET ME HIDE IN THE BOWELS OF YOUR INTREPID WOLF SO THAT I MIGHT BE SAFE AMONGST THE TRUEST SHIT OF THE WORLD!!! TO KNOW THE LIKES OF FABION IS TO KNOW REAL SUFFERING AT THE HANDS OF FALSE SHIT!!!! I KNOW NOT OF WHAT I SPEAK!!!! TO MUCH TEA FOR ME TODAY!!!" Arctorious can't control himself and begins chucking as his rant continues; "WOMAN!!!! I BEG OF THEE!!! BRING YOUR PLANT-LOVING WAYS TO THE DOOR SO WE MIGHT VENTURE INTO THE BOWELS OF THIS GREAT ROCKY SHIT HEAP!!! HUZZZAH!!!!"

Dairmida opens her door. She glances at Arctorious, wondering if indeed his idea about killing Fabion with the Demon in the Box -joke or not- is a good one. "It would be easier to cut his rope." Devorar comes from around her and dispenses of his usual show of fierce protection as he sniffs around Arctoious' pockets. "I think he's warming up to you." She hefts her pack over her shoulder and, slipping a tiny portrait of her parents into her pocket, joins Arctorious in the hall. "Stop smiling so much," she says this in a growl, but beneath her gruff tone is amusement, "We're both very likely going to die."

"FIE on death, woman of the grass grovelers!! Were we to invoke our spirits into the heavens, the Gods would TREMBLE at such power as the three of us!!" Arctorious gestures grandly at Dairmida and Devorar as he speaks that last bit, with a large grin, none the less! "Our bids for their power will make them stay deaths hand when it comes to us!! Of THIS!!! I have little doubt!" With a mighty pull from his water skin, Arctorious fastens his pack and takes up the rear, allowing Dairmida and Devorar to lead the way.
