Forever lies ahead

[Iron Dragoon]

Bastian was supposed to be spy master. He come up with anything?

[Anastasia]

"So," Bastian begins once you ask him, "I've been focusing my efforts on a group that's gotten attention lately. The Shadow Twelve, a group of elite Sharrans who set up cults that doom entire worlds."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I would have disliked them for being Sharrans, but dooming worlds puts them at the top of the list. What have you found?"

[Anastasia]

"Got some info on them," Bastian says, "The good news is that at least one of them is out of circulation. This stays private until I check if we can spread it, but Jessica told me that Sylica already got Dragodan, one of the twelve members. That still leaves 11 more."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, "Do you think you have enough to go on to use the crystal to find at least one?"

[Anastasia]

"I know of one named Golar," Bastian says, "We can start with that one."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, "Let's go find out what we can, then."

Everyone, meet Bastian and me at the crystal if you can.

[Anastasia]

You happen to meet Emily as you go. She falls in step, "Oh, Alyssa," she greets, "Lasri's settling in well now that she's recovered from that dreadful shock she had."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Thank you for taking care of her. I'll have to meet with her soon and explain exactly what happened. I take it she didn't fully realize who you were?"

[Anastasia]

"She didn't," Emily agrees, but smiles, "She's going fit in here fine."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well, she is among her own now. Bastian here has a lead on a new target."

[Anastasia]

"Let's get on that," Emily says, and soon enough all of you are there.

Go ahead.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Bastian has a lead on one of Shar's high priests. This is the first time we're putting our new crystal through its paces. I'm not sure how well this will work, so I wanted all of you here just in case. We all know how Shar works, so I set this up to alter any incoming damage, and built in some anti-curse measures, but... We still don't know, so everyone be ready.

Bastian, tell us what all you know. The more information I have, the better this will work."

[Anastasia]

"He's one of the Shadow Twelve," Bastian goes on from that, "One of Shar's elite cultists that tries to seed the doom of entire worlds. Here."

Bastian takes out a folded sheet of paper. "A sketch of him. It should help."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa studies the drawing, memorizing it, before passing it around. Once everyone's had a turn at it, she turns to the crystal.

"We all ready?"
