"Aye, it did come from the inside. But maybe someone FROM the outside made that happen. I was not a witness, like yourself, Tiny. I will trust your opinion over someones who was not there any day."

She rubs the area of her brow in between her eyes and starts speaking again. 

"Honestly, you would need to ask those questions at Morgrave University for a more thorough answer, but it all ties to the Draconic Prophesy. One of the scholars who has been working on this is the eclectic Professor Gail Linstrom. For years she was mocked and laughed at, but she discovered in the Prophecy that there was an end to the War and she almost predicted it to the day, just ten (10) years earlier. What she has been able to pertain through her research is that an event will happen here in Sharn within the next couple months and it will "shake the towers to their core", as she put it."

She pauses to take a drink from her tea and then moves forward, "But I do agree, justice should be brought on those who caused the Day of Mourning. But the way the Front goes about it is frankly disgusting. What they believe is beyond me. River Winterwood in New Cyre should be able to assist you, she was a founding member of the Cyran Front before they went rogue two years ago."

"Another possible suspect is The Emerald Claw. They were dealt a massive blow last year after combined forces from Aundair, Thrane, and Breland hunted them down for the hijacking of The Golden Dragon."

((OOG Vrailin would know this tale well, The Golden Dragon was the fastest and most luxurious elemental airship in all of Eberron. About eight (8) months ago it was hijacked over the Whispering Woods and was found abandoned in the Eldeen Reaches. The crew and passengers were nowhere to be found. It was piloted by the famous Captain Fletch Tranquility d'Lyrandar. A scion and future leader of the great House of Lyrandar. Anyone else can make a History check to learn more about this event.)) 

"A vampire overlord named Leerleth was believed to be their leader and now they are scattered all across Khorvaire, looking for someone to lead them in their dark ways. If it is the Emerald Claw, it would not surprise me in the least. They would need a statement for recruitment and also for revenge." She changes the "slide" and you see the symbol of the Emerald Claw."

"These men and women who give their lives to fight on behalf of the Claw should be shown no mercy, for they will give you none. The small town of Ghalt lives a man named Karn Karn Karnage; an ex-zealot for the Emerald Claw and now devote follower of the Silver Flame. He works a small shrine in the forests inside The Eldritch Groves. Be careful, he has already been tasked with helping out Aundarian and Brelish forces after the Golden Dragon was hijacked. He is a...difficult man. Though changed, he's still kind of a dick." 

"And that's why I choose you, Tiny. They will need a strong and powerful warrior in their ranks if they are to figure this dangerous puzzle out." 

Erthor will go silent and still for a moment and use his primeval awareness for 1 minute.

"Are there other suspects?"

Beginning at 3rd level, you can use your action and expend one ranger spell slot to focus your awareness on the region around you. For 1 minute per level of the spell slot you expend, you can sense whether the following types of creatures are present within 1 mile of you (or within up to 6 miles if you are in your favored terrain): aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead.

"Are there other suspects?"

"To be very honest, there are so many suspects we'd be here for the next ten-night if we were to go over them. But we have one more suspicion." 

A new set of images appears. 

"What I am showing you right now is considered by most as morally wrong, some would kill us just for viewing this." She is showing signs of discomfort as she presses on, "The world we know was almost lost when the House of Vol rose to make their mark on the world. What is known is a highly guarded secret inside the boundaries of Aerenal, the island continent southeast of Khorvaire. There, you can discover the secrets of the House of Vol. The House that is no more, the 13th Dragonmark... the Mark of Death." 

"I can tell you everything we know, which isn't much. And if you speak about this within your Houses you could be disowned or worse. There are dark forces aligning, and we need to figure out what they are before it is too late. Whether it is taboo to speak of them or not, innocent lives are on the line." 

"Cyran Front, Emerald Claw, House of Vol. Where do we start?"

Milotva turned his head and spit at hearing of the Mark of Vol, as had his father, and his father before. "I'd say we start with the Cyran Front"

“We should start where we have the most information.  No point in chasing after a lost house.” Wes chimes in.

You can sense the presence of Aberrations, Elementals, Fey, and Undead. All within a mile of you.  

 

 (OOC: would that be typical of where we are at, or does it seem odd?)

Vrailin says 

“ I think we should go after the Emerald Claw. There are still a lot of questions that needs answers and some criminals that may be face justice. “ she turns to Tiny “ And in this case for justice I mean dead. All of them. “ 

Her usual cheerish tone has dissapeared.

Um...yes. The first one kind of does throw you off. The others can easily be explained. 

"Curious.....while not surprised that there are Fey, Elementals and Undead nearby, I am sensing an Aberration.  Are you aware of any in the area Kara?"

"If they're close by, they're more than likely underneath our feet." She says with a slight shiver, "The Cogs are known to harvest such entities."

She goes and sits back behind her desk, nodding to Milotva to open the wards and the drapes. 

"Whatever it is you decide, you will have the full resources of the Guild House behind you. With the addition of Vrailin, you will have moderate transportation to get to your destinations."

Eager to travel through the wilderness again, White Fang shouts his opinion: " Cyran Front. It is the closest. However, what are we hunting for exactly? We can't just go there sniffing around..."

“I think we’re trying to figure who is going to strike next and where exactly. Perhaps try and find this Baron.” Wes answers for the shifter. “Vrailin if you’re providing transport I need room for both myself and Cola. She’s my mount. For those of you who don’t know me I’m Wes. Trained Druid and Healer.” 

"and I am Erthor, Ranger of House Vadalis...." and he'll incline his head slightly in a bow towards those assembled., then get swatted upside the head from the shrub on his shoulder "...and my companion." he'll gesture towards the shrub.

"White Fang," the shifter says, as the name alone is supposed to explain everything.
