It has missing walls and pieces of floor removed.  I doubt the car is structurally sound anymore.  He is more than curious at this point.”Five minutes go by and the five of them wait at the windows hoping against hope the car will leave without incident.The elemental energy that powers the cars rises making the whole line of ten cars rise slightly and hover.  A faint crackle of energy can be seen.  Then they breathe a sigh of relief as the cars begin to move forward.  Cedious spots a man dressed in the Cannith colors trying to make his way through the grounds but can not.  Cedious can not help himself but to smile.Later, Cedious tells the druid about the vampire (the woman whom casts no reflection in a mirror) and he insists on him pointing her out to him.There will be eight hours until the next stop in Vedykar.  The group informs Cedious of how Beth d’Cannith died when attacked by Wraiths.  She then required being put down again, as she became a wraith herself.  Black sand shows him her body that they rolled up in a carpet and stuck in her closet (much to Bludgeon’s disapproval).Finished, they agree to get some food.  Curious, Cedious decides to return to her cabin.  He easily picks the lock and hopes the vampire won’t tear him apart.  The door creaks open and the smell of blood comes out.  Uh-oh.  Cedious peeks in and she’s her bare legs on the bed ..the blood soaked bed.  He opens the door further and spots her naked and very dead body.  She has been torn apart.  Chunks have been removed from her back along with her innards.  The warforged there is covered with blood.  The walls are covered.“Oh crap.”</blockquote>
