The young girls stares up into Andrecs face, her worried eyes show a glimmer of hope at having found someone who would help. "I'll take you back to the den; Mam'll know what to do 'cos she looks after us, I'll show you the way."She waits for Andrec to almost effortlessly and gently lift her friend off the floor. Then, after the rest of the group have departed she leads Andrec through a maze of dark, muddy alleys. At one point she turns to the warlord and raises her tiny finger to her lips indicating that they should be quiet as they stole through the stableyard of a racous, dingy tavern.Eventually the three of them arrive at their destination. Within a small patch of overgrown wildland that was probably once a rather attractive town garden, the girl leads Andrec to a half ruined house, the building bears the black weathered scars of a thatch fire across the entire upper floor, it's roof bare and the wind howling through shutterless windows. The windows of the ground floor however cast out flickering candlelight onto the untended garden.The girl runs ahead and lets herself in through the front door, all the while shouting; "Mam, Mam, I found her, I found her!"A few seconds later a torrent of grubby children pour out of the open doorway and surround Andrec nearly knocking him off his feet, cheers and excited squeals soon turn to mutters and worried looks when they notice what condition Lil is in. The children are swiftly followed by an old human woman. Dispite her obvious age, there is an energy to her pace that you would liken to that of a younger woman. She flaps at the heads of the children with a hankerchief as she walks toward Andrec and one by one they peel off from the mob and go back into the house.The woman eyes Andrecs armour and weapon as she carefully takes the child from him, "I Thankee young sir, 'twas very noble o' yee to bring the littl'un back to us, but we won't be wantin' any trouble, speshly not in front o' the Kiddies. If you can wait a little while I can give you some coin by way of sayin' thanks, an there won't be no need for you to look for nothin'. How's that sound?"She smiles widely at the warlord, but her fear shows through it. Andrec deduces that this house probably get unwanted visitors occasionally, the kind that don't leave nicely when asked.*    *    *On the other side of the district, a sneaky ashen skinned stalker with very pointy ears carefully peers around the corner of a building that she is hugging with her back. She takes care not to move out of the shadows as her piercing eyes carefully watch a laden stretcher being carried out of the shrine by two thuggish looking men. Behind them a tall, muscular man exits the shrine; his face contorted in rage, looks up into the sky and screams; "Vengeance!!"The two men carrying the stretcher hurry off around a corner, a few seconds later the man that had screamed brings his gaze back down to ground and stalks off after them just as Ceryx, Skalisss, Shane and Growl arrive behind Mikara.</blockquote>
