[QUOTE="Nyeshet, post: 3158092, member: 18363"] I don't think that Redcloak is famous so much as his [i]Mantle[/i] is famous. She called him 'the bearer of the Crimson Mantle'. That suggests to me that the mantle Redcloak wears may be a minor artifact or some similarly impressive magic item - something so distinct that a member of the Sapphire Guard would recognize it on sight and perhaps know a bit of its lore. It would seem from what she's said that the mantle has some significance among the clerics of some evil deity - perhaps a magic item typically worn by the high priest or some other distinguished figure. On another note, I found it amusing that Xycon (or whatever the lich's name is) not only is not helping - he's betting [i]against[/i] his chief follower. I'm guessing that the lich is correct - after a long(ish) battle Miko will win, but then - weakened - she will face Xycon. Perhaps she will then die, but I'm guessing something will happen that will allow her to escape. Or maybe she will be taken prisoner. As a member of the Sapphire Guard she likely knows quite a bit about the defenses of the city and especially around the Gate itself. [/QUOTE]
