We offer him no respite for this query.” “Gimme that.” Haimish states, ripping the paper from Kourk’s hand. Touché bardYou mock me even at your own perilMeet me along the southern pier in one hourI have something for you.Haimish crumples the paper in his hand and tosses it into the fireplace and watches it burn.“Ha! See putrid one, we shall not be dissuaded by your rotten master be gone from this abode and tell your master ramifications are coming.” Kourk says and shoves the man back into the hallway, “well played bard, if he could cry we would have seen a tear down the side of his face when the paper ignited.”“Since when did you get overly dramatic?” Adokul asks“Your concern is misplaced; it should be in our convalescing comrades here.” Kourk replies “Whatever, lets just get out of here. This place offers no chance at increasing my power.” Adokul complains“Then you didn’t look very hard.” Haimish answersHaimish helps the team pack up and get to the arrival circle, once there he tells them he must see an old friend before departing, and teleports away.“I didn’t think you’d come, your mortal heart impresses me once again.” Kalen says“Cut the blathering Kalen, what do you want?” Haimish demands“Oh, a little ego I see. Got yourself a backbone after all.” Kalen answers“No, I just don’t fear you. You’re easily beaten.” Haimish counters“Really, have you not noticed the sun glaring overhead and yet here I stand plan as day uninhibited?” Kalen replies“No, but I’ve also noticed we’re no longer on the prime, so that’s likely not the sun at all.” Haimish answers“Astute you are pity you couldn’t apply that to your selling of the blood ice.” Kalen states“Bitter feelings for you are of no concern of mine; go commiserate with your lifeless pals.” Haimish shoots back. “Tell me my talkative friend, have you ever heard of a rakshasa lich?” Kalen asksHaimish pauses and thinks about it for a moment, “No, can’t say that I have why?” “You will. Although I am glad you didn’t give it to dusty rags as that would’ve made your trek through his domain that much harder.” Kalen answers cryptically“Your innuendos tire me, get to the point or I’m out of here.” Haimish responds“I merely wished to thank you.” Kalen answers“Odd way of doing it.” Haimish replies“This new.” Kalen paused to think over the next word, “existence you’ve given me. It has allowed me to see things I haven’t seen in thousands of years. The sunrise, stained glass, green grass and blue sky.” “I didn’t do that for you, I was duped and you’ll not find me so easy a target this time.” Haimish retorts“Settle down, I know you chose the cat’s offer over mine to spite me. I offered you the answer you sought and yet you threw it away without consideration.” Kalen advises“No the rakshasa’s offer was far superior to yours.” Haimish answers“Oh you think that now, wait until you’re knee deep in it and you’re searching for a why, you’ll hear my voice echoing back at you a soft I told you so. I go now to prepare for what is to come you’re free to go, we will not meet again.” Kalen declares and teleports awayHaimish returns to the impatient team and with the School of Arcane Knowledge representative they teleport back to Highcastle.The creature slowly descended from the roof of the dome, circling lazily as it watched Menthos below it. The teifling thought it some deformed butterfly, black bat-like wings flapped above a thin pink line. As the creature got closer, Menthos was able to discern the pink line was human-like in form and two arms and legs presented themselves as well. The creature dipped low as it rounded the far side of the dome and when it swung back around to face Menthos it was nearly at his eye level. It was then he confirmed his suspicions of an erinyes.“Hello lady.” Menthos greeted the devilish seducer“I am Malicya, I was told your hand was in my creation.” The creature states“And fine work I must say.” Menthos answers“I ache for the flesh of mortals, I have been charged with delivering a being that will allow for my lord’s return to the prime. You are to give me that heir.” Malicya commands“I don’t have time to do your errands for you; you can fly and use tantalizingly delicious means to further your end.” Menthos answers“You do not follow half-breed, commence with delivering your seed!” the erinyes shouts“Well, why didn’t you just come out and say so. I’m always willing to help a lady in need, point me to the bed and I’ll get to..” Menthos is yanked off the platform and lifted into the air“No beds, this will be done airborne.” Malicya states“Kinky, I like it, but I like a little more evenness you’re getting what you want. I’m going to need to get something from this as well.” Menthos counters“Your gift is in knowing of the creation of the vessel, I will permit you to view the birthing.” The erinyes offers“Yuck, why would I want that? I was thinking more along the lines of information. You’re in the know in low places right? Plus you already said my skills aided your metamorphosis I think you owe me.” Menthos countersThe erinyes flies silently for a few moments before responding, “Fine, produce the conception of the vessel and I shall answer one question.” The erinyes replies“Two questions.” Menthos counters“Fine.” Malicya concedes</blockquote>
