"First I would like to report that I observed Neminn Mass the Black leading a clutch of cultists anouncing that the beginning of the summoning of the Demon Lord Xiphid would now commence then he performed magics I have not fully identified, marked by a red flashing glow. Later I encountered what I hope was only an Aspect of Xiphid subject to a master's binding but walking the world and working machinations. I want the Guild to be aware and prepared.

"Second I would like to know what resources we have on lore about Xiphid and Aspects or for confronting him. Specific strengths, weaknesses, knowledge of personality and typical tactics, his history. I expect to meet the Aspect again and wish to be personally prepared.

"Third, we may need to confront Mass at some point, I would like to know more about him and his magics.

"Fourth I would like to call upon what Guild resources we have for memory restoration."
 

Seifer listens intently, trying to focus on the conversation while also donning his plate armor.

"It's a bit hard to follow all this for me. I feel like your memories are much clearer than mine, Voadam, so your course of action seems equally clear. All I remember is my name and the face of a woman. Not much use, but I can tell you I'd rather be haunted by the image of a beautiful lady than some demon or some cultists."

Seifer smiles for a moment, than resumes being serious with a clearing of his throat.

"What I mean to say is, I am trusting you to make sense of this insanity. I hope you can point me in the right direction and that I can be of use to you. To you all. Because, I have to tell, this seems a bit beyond what I think I'm used to."
 

Eglath Goliath Fighter

"I must agree with Seifer, my own memories are mostly of battles and of course the party members." He doesn't mention the taunting Goliath children though an image of them fills his mind. "My axe stands ready, guide my hand." He too begins to don his armor.
 

"Your first bit of news is disturbing to say the least," Alexander begins to answer your list of questions. "The second thing we don't have anything on Xiphid, but there is a tribe in the swamp that has the ancient volumes that would be able to help you."

"Well Mass was not your average wizard, top of his class all 12 years he was here. His power vered more towards necromancy and the dark arts. He searched the world when he became a Blue Wizard, to find a tome to increase his powers. He must have found it. When he came back there was a dark aura about him. We don't know what dark transformation he underwent but it tripled his casting strenght. He became able to control hundreds of skeletonal minions, and have two or three much stronger undead minions. After this he destroyed a hamlet, the name escapes me, just to raise their corpses as zombie minions for his new world army. We captured him and imprisioned him. But even without his spells he was deceitful enough to make his way out of our prision and escaped. We have been looking for him ever since." Alexander look more serious than you have seen him since you came in, with his jaw clenched.

"On the fourth question of memory restoration, I may have an answer,"
Alexander turns around and pulls a wodden vial holder with 9 vials. "I have worked something a little more arcane up, different than what you got from Brother Markus. He and I chatted about you. We decided that what he used was too weak so I concocted this from materials we had here."

"So who wants to give this one a try?"
 

"No way man... every time one of you wackos tries to help me with my memory problems i wake up with a spliting headache." Zzerki says while backing up.
 

Seifer steps forward.

"Please, see what you can do. I'm used to being in control of my own destiny. At least I think so. I'm sick of being lead around by those whom have better memories..."

He looks to Voadam.

"No offense. I know you're acting in all of our best interests. It's just that I want to understand where I am going. And I want to know who this woman is that I remember. I'll do whatever is necessary to have my memory back."
 

Lily glances around to see who else seems to be taking the bait, and when no one but Seifert does, she sighs and steps up to his side.

"I skipped the first one," she explains. "I guess that means it's my turn."

Skitha belches and scratches inside her ear a moment.

"Should've killed the guy. Imprisoning's almost as bad as sealing 'em away for a thousand years for escapes. Anyway I guess I'll try a swig of your potion because this stuff is horrid."

Skitha throws away the half-finished bottle of "Just like Bat Urine."
 

Eglath

Hesitating a moment, Eglath finally extends a hand for a vial. Though it is clear he has his doubts about subjecting himself to another such ordeal. "I'm tired of others knowing more about my past than I do."
