[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 5011874, member: 46559"] Vampire-drome watches in mild astonishment as Kathalia... marks her territory. When she seems to have regained control over herself for the moment, he carefully moves away from the puddle, muttering to himself. [color=lightblue]"Fascinating... I'd heard, but I'd never really believed in that effect. Must be some practical use for it..."[/color] He smiles, amused. [color=lightblue]"Hardly. What I need is less frivolous, though no less difficult, I fear. The short version is that there are places I cannot go, that are warded against creatures such as I am, wherein is kept information that I seek. After that... Well, much depends on what we find..."[/color] He pauses, and smiles, awkwardly, showing a hint of fang. The expression looks alien on Palindrome's face. [color=lightblue]Your pardon, I am being needlessly obscure. We have some time; I will tell you the whole story." "In life, I was a hobgoblin. My name was Merith Karse."[/color] He pauses, clearly expecting a reaction. [sblock=Streetwise DC 25]There was gang in Bacarte run by someone named Merith Karse, some 10 years ago. The gang was remarkable for two reasons, first for being successful over a long period of time by never getting involved in turf wars and always making sure that there were five or six bigger and more powerful gangs to attract the attention of anyone with the urge to fight crime. Second was that Merith Karse himself disappeared at some point, and his gang went quiet. Years later, there was a popular ballad linking his disappearance to the Five, by a lurid and wildly improbable chain of events.[/sblock] ooc: big Wall of Text coming, but it's late and this seems a natural point to break for reactions.
