[QUOTE="ragboy, post: 3047956, member: 4151"] "I'm not Thiel," the half-elf said, dazedly. "I used his name after he...left me here." "Then who in the Soverign are you?" Verloot said, crouching in the corner sharpening his long bladed knife. "Fen Rigis," he said. "I served with Thiel in the war. Was a mercenary in his division, actually." Kath paced, her wounds still aching despite Book's attentions. She glanced around the room absently, trying to contain her thoughts. The dryad lay coiled around a sickly cypress tree that grew up through the floor of the house. Most of its crown was sawed off jaggedly. This gets more twisted the farther we come, she thought. What interest could the Cabinet of Faces have in Thiel? "Is he on your list?" Verloot asked Kath, breaking her reverie. "Who? Rigis? No." "Then we can kill him without rankling the House?" "Look." Rigis rose shakily, bracing his weight against the wall. "I've done nothing wrong. Thiel dragged me here with him. He was looking for Daergoth. When I got here, I...met Picea and we stayed. That's it. If he's done something..." Kath froze, her face almost a rictus. "Daergoth?" she said, quietly, a wave of dread washing over her. "What made him think it was here?" "What's Daergoth?" Verloot said, looking from Kath to Rigis. "He had...communed with something...someone. He wasn't himself, that much is sure," Rigis said, his face haunted and strained. "He was convinced that it ended up in Q'barra after the...." "I can see you two are having a 'war moment' here but, what in the Pit is Daergoth?" Verloot cried. "It's a city," Rigis began hollowly. "A fort." Kath cut him off. "One of Breland's experiments in small, mobile troop platforms, like Argoth, but much smaller and faster." "Okay," the gnome said. "Why is it beyond the pale that it could be here? It moves, right?" "It was destroyed at the Battle of the Mounds. Utterly destroyed," Book interrupted. "Why does everyone but me know about this?"
