Masquerade

[Dracos]

"Well, odds are pretty good that if you do end up having to fight your way out, worst case scenario and all, that the sword might be used to counter your own."  Dracos rubbed his head a bit sheepishly.  "There wasn't that much more.   Just figured it'd be better if you were prepared for it in worst case than if not."

[Rezantis]

Nathan blinks.

"Counter? How so?  As in, I probably wouldn't be able to break it, or it could potentially do that to mine?"

[Dracos]

"I'd bet the latter, if only because personally if I was making two swords and one had the ability to cleave through magical weapons and armor without trouble, I'd make sure that the other was capable of stopping it cold if it got into the wrong hands.  Though, there wasn't enough information in what I found to tell since by human records, they didn't really care since the Archanoe kept it."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

Nathan shrugs.

"Hm. I'll keep that in mind, then.  Anything key about my ancestor that you found out?"

[Dracos]

"He killed I think it was three generals by himself.  Apparently this whole 'teamwork' deal to fight generals is something new.  They apparently were just sending out one ceremonial wolf each time to fight to the death against the general."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

Nathan looks at Dracos oddly.

"That doesn't mesh with much of anything we know, either from Lord Kevin or the Dreadmarch itself.  Are you sure?  Everyone else has said it's always been a conflict involving armies."

[Dracos]

"Heading to the library?  I'll show you the book.  It would mesh actually with the whole hero stuff.  They have the army fight while one hero goes out to deal with the general."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

Rez hums.

"Can I meet you there in about ten or fifteen minutes?  There was something I wanted to check first, but I need to talk to both you and Bjorn before I go."

[Dracos]

"Yeah.  I can."  Dracos waited to see if Rez had anything else to say before heading back there.

Dracos

[Rezantis]

Nathan nods.

"I'll meet you up there in about ten or fifteen, then."

[Dracos]

Dracos nodded, heading back to the library.

[Rezantis]

Nathan, at this point, stairs looking for stairs up to the rooftop; or alternately just somewhere else he might be able to have a short conversation with Paul . . .

[Brian]

Phil returns to Shrouded Mystery.

It doesn't take Nathan too long to find a secluded spot on a tower-top -- the keep has several, after all.

Once he's there, Durant sighs audibly, though he remains invisibile.  "This is going to be annoying," he deduces.

[Rezantis]

Nathan rolls his eyes.

"Heh.  Well . . . you sort of didn't want me to, which is why I didn't tell him about you, but we'd better talk to both him and Bjorn about you before we go.  They're going to need to know where you are, and if nothing else Bjorn's got his nose in what efforts they're making to find you."

[Brian]

"Lovely," Durant says dryly.  "If it's all the same, I'd just as soon skip town and lay low until this is over.  Except that unlike some people, I won't abandon my friends.  What do you suggest we do from here?"
