Victorious advance

"Then lets hear it, tell me about your colleagues," Marie prods.

[Anastasia]

"Zylvelyn," Dragodan begins, "The Empty Gale. She is fast as lightning, trained by Shar how to fight with two weapons. She is a storm of weapons that lays anyone low." His gaze turns to Alicia at that, "She surely exceeds even you."

[Ebiris]

Given how Dragodan fancied his chances against Marie, Alicia is inclined to take that with a pinch of salt. "One to watch out for then," she says mildly.

"What's she up to then?" Marie asks.

[Anastasia]

"That lies within the Cavern," Dragodan replies, "I can't tell you, I'm sorry, my love."

[Ebiris]

"Nevermind, just tell me what you can about the rest," Marie says, moving things along.

[Anastasia]

"The next is Ryn," Going right on from that, "A powerful sorcerer. So is Yull, though one is also one who despoils and the other is clad in steel and adamantine." Dragodan says.

[Ebiris]

"Mmhmm. Go on?" Marie asks. Since they're not getting any actionable information this is mostly just trivia unfortunately, but they may as well try and obtain some benefit.

[Anastasia]

"Vetch is the Avenger, a grim blade that cleaves through those who defy Shar. He gets stronger the more his enemy has opposed her." Dragodan goes on, "He's also a powerful jack of all trades beyond that - he once served Selune before he saw the Lady of Loss's dark wisdom."

AT that Syala smiles. 'Oh good, we have reason to go talk to Selune again.'

"Asani is a tormentor, a mutilator and a dark warrior," Going right on from that, "Magic and fingers both rip apart impure bodies and bring all to final rest. There mere sight of her crushes resistance."

[Ebiris]

"So does that mean Asani has no interest in creating undead?" Marie asks, because final rest usually isn't on the cards when Sharrans can still wring some use out of you.

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Is the answer, "Not all are worthy to rise as shadows to serve the Lady of Loss. Some must go straight to oblivion."

[Ebiris]

If not for the fact she obviously has a torture fetish that'd be worthy of respect!

Sadly she is making up for it by being extra horrible elsewhere. "So that's six, halfway through the list if we count you," she prods him to go on.

[Anastasia]

"There is Sartay, a spirit caller who is served as a Princess of the Shadows, for she has a droplet of Shar's blood as her own." Dragodan says, "Not even you can oppose all the spirits which serve her, nor her skill at arms."

[Ebiris]

"Really? So what do you bring to the dozen and how do you stack up amongst them?" Marie asks to better contextualise all this hype.

[Anastasia]

"I am a warrior, a champion. I am average," Dragodan says, "There are others who have grown stronger recently at Shar's direction. " Now his gaze turns fearlessly to Alicia, "You must be stopped. We will stop you."

[Ebiris]

That's quite flattering to hear. Usually it goes the other way around! Alicia just looks back at him with a faint smile on her lips but doesn't say anything.

"Seven," Marie speaks up. "The next?"
