As a group.” Says Tyson with no room for debate.“I just want-“ begins the changeling.“You can cook later.  First we talk.”Zig and Kyr pull up chairs and sit.  Feldrix remains standing.“May I begin?” asks Ayru.Tyson motions for her to begin.  He will be patient so long as he gets results.“Feldrix….. what happened last night?  I have never seen you flee a fight.  You seemed fine.”“I… was not.  When I met…. Zigland…. I was under…. The control of a …. Cleric.   I made…. The mistake of thinking… he would not…. Do that do me.  I swore…. To always avoid that.   I thought I could… reach him first.   I did not…. Expect a power that…. Would hurt me… so.”“I had seen the flash.  I believe it was a Searing Ray.  Focused positive energy.  So potent, it hurts the living from the intense amount of energy it gives but to undead, it is extremely destructive.”“Yes…. I believe it was that.”“You looked…. Good for taking a life ray.” Smirks Kyr.“It did not…. Harm my armor.   But the body… within…. Burned.  Burned badly.”“But when we came in to check on you, you were fine.” Questions Ayru.“I have…. Unique items.  A cursed item….. but wholesome…. For my…. Kind I used.”“He has a belt of harming.   It was messed up during construction so it releases negative energy instead.  So it actually repairs him.” Says Zig.  Feldrix nods his thanks.   Talking is hard for him and wears him down some.“You reacted to the number 387 when we saw the half-orc sorcerer and twice the Emerald Claw have referred to you as one of the 387.   Is this a number of your group?  A military group?”“Yes.   My entire… division…. Was killed.  We were buried…. In vault 387.  When I was…. Given a second life….chance…. I and others that survived …. The process were referred to as …. The 387.”“Any connection to the Claw?”“Not… that I…. know of.”“Just how old are you?” asks Ayru.“You have many questions…. Within…. The questions.  Let me…. Tell you…. About my life.”He begins with his childhood, his family and friends, especially his best friend Collin Downing.   Then with the war, he joined as all Karrnathi of age had to.  He was killed.  He was brought back to life by a powerful necromancer using new experimental magics.  These gave him freewill.  He even talks about the incident when he was trapped for years and only recently found and released.   How he wandered and was made a prisoner until Zigland tricked the man.When down, everyone there can sense a change in the knight.  A sorrow and ….fear?“I now…. Fear my end…. My destruction.   I have three things…. I hold with great honor and of meaning to me.  If I am destroyed…. Can you…. Find my… descendants…..”Before he can finish his request, Zig is quick to agree.   His impulsiveness continues to annoy the Inquisitive but he would have agreed to it anyway.   They agree that if he is destroyed, they will return his journal, his sword and a scroll case with a letter he had written.Tyson is content with this but the name Downing is bothering him.   Feldrix’s childhood name means something to him but he can’t place it just now.“And yourself Tyson….. can I ask you something that I feel needs to be addressed more thoroughly?”Surprised and intrigued, he motions for her to ask away.  “This Gussa seems more dangerous than you thought.   What of her team?   What of the other team?”Tyson exhales and pulls out his journal.  He goes over it person by person.  Interviews given and questions to be asked.  Instead of saying anything about the Dark lanterns, he merely refers to Breland.  Then it hits him.  He flips through his notes.  Downing.“Downing is on my list.” States Tyson.  “can you describe your friend to me?” he asks of Feldrix.   The description is close enough.  This Downing may be a relative of his childhood friend.  “Eberron is a small world after all.”Tyson stares at Kyr.  The strange summoner fidgets under his look.   This is another discussion that has gone too long without being had.   “Kyr….. it appears you are a specialist in summoning.  But just what are you-““Trouble” declares the knight as he pulls out his sword.A large group of Black and green cloaked men are moving towards them.  Most carry a shield and flail.  One is a possible mage.Kyr stands up and calls out a series of strange harsh (inhumanly hard) words and a blast of fire erupts from him and destroys the tightly clustered Claw members before they exit the bridge leading to them.He blows off his hands like blowing off dust and smiles.  A humorous shrug of his shoulders stops all conversation.  He walks away whistling and Zig sees an opportunity to sneak off and cook breakfast with the halflings.Sighing at another moment of not getting answers about the possible insane new “member” of their group, Tyson and Ayru go to check on the bodies.  The honor knight watches over them and the entrance to the restaurant.“Look at this.” Says the protective half-elf.  She holds up a piece of paper that she found on the possible mage or necromancer.Tyson looks at it closely before touching it.  He then takes it and slowly and cautiously opens the folded up paper.   “huuurmmm….”“What is it?”“A shopping list.   They were building something.   Something big.”“Get the others….. the list is a receipt from Gunther’s.  I know where it is and it may lead us to Gussa or at least our would be killers.Wood, Nails, Tar, Tarps, Casks, Tools, Clothes, Chalk, Chains………</blockquote>
