Ellis felt better from the healing ,but he still felt weak. Greatful that Vivian and Garekk were helping him. He felt strange though,... He felt different almost as if something foreign resided in his body. He shook his head and rose a hand. "I can walk on my own now." He said unstrapping himself from Garekk's back. It took him awhile to get his balance. He walked into the antechamber and felt he missed something rather cute. From observations everyone was alright. Well side from Ellyn passing out. Then he saw it,... In the center of the room of the antechamber was the chalice. He moved towards it stepping ever slowly until he was at the chalice. He rose up to his toes sliding it off and staring at it.... "I bet if we sold it to the right people we might gey more then 1k each from that mage... Or not." He said. Every step he made he felt more energy return to him. He then took it with him looking for the exit. What he saw was the Lich's sanctum to his right. Hmm bet there are some valuables in there. He moved towards it tossing the chalice to Hugh as he passed him. When he entered the room he found notes that the dread lord made. He began reading them. "I found the perfect vessel, a vessel that if my body was destroyed the mages guild would still bring me closer to them...." He went a little wide eyed and looked to the chalice. No fucking way.... The chalice?... You clever bastard. He would wait before telling everyone the bad news. Perhaps the dwarf can confirm it. He placed the notes within his tunic for later reads. He then saw a spell tome. He flipped it open and read to see which kind of spell. It was a spell called shocking grasp from what he saw at the title. Artos will like this,... He then searched around the room for more goodies. Ellis then located a chest and opened it. What he found was a song book, and few other things. there where silver daggers.... Enough for the whole group to have one. "Oh this is so sweet now this team can be official with our matching daggers." He said as he took them out. Then he noticed some jewelry as well. This is where the thief in him started to work. He had a gift of appraising things and he knew one thing. The jewelry was not ordinary. Side from the fact they glowed in different colors. Odd enough each color was different. The colors consisted of; Red, Blue, White, Green, Crimson, yellow, black, magenta, cyan, and orange. He pocketed those as well figuring he would distribute them among the group later. He then picked up the songbook and looked at the title. He didn't want Ellyn to get something that would fuck them over later on when she sang it. It was titled Bane of the Tenar'ri.... Tenar'ri.... wasnt that a certain class of demon? Perhaps it banished them or something. He took it after understanding it would be good for her to learn. He noticed nothing else of use though. It was all crap. He sighed and closed the chest taking the silver daggers, spellbook as well as songbook. He left the room and noticed the Shaman healing Ellyn. "One of these days the warm hearts of this group is going to fuck us over,... I know it." He said referencing to the shaman being allowed to heal Ellyn. Yes she helped him, but evil does a lot of good to the things it wishes to fool. He sighed and let it be,... he did have one extra dagger after all. Hugh being the closest he moved to him first. "Here you go big fella,... found these in the chest over there. I think its cool that there was exactly ten daggers in there as well as a few other things which I will distribute later.... as in when we are not in this damned cursed city." He said..." See with the daggers we are all now officially a adventure party." With that said he moved to Artos handing him a dagger and the spellbook. "The book should come in handy next time something gets too close to you." He said and then moved to the trio Sana, Ellyn, and Diela. "Here you guys go... daggers for everyone, also Sana hand this to Ellyn when she wakes up." He said handing them silver daggers. He gave Ellyn's to Sana as well including the song book. "I say Garekk carries her while we get out of here...." He then leaned and whispered to Sana. "Perhaps you can fake your legs being weak and get Hugh to carry you out all romantic like." He moved away and turned to look at Sana again. "I mean if you want to get technical your ankles are pretty sore." He said allowed giving Hugh the hint to offer to carry her. Of all the teasing he did they are finally a thing. About damn time,... starting to think I should be a match maker then a thief. I could totally get paid for that too. He made his way to Varis next forgeting him when he was at Artos. "Pardon me,.. here is your dagger, no if's or but's your part of our misfit crew now so take it. I saw some sticky stuff in that sanctum so don't make me glue it to you..." He said. He then moved over to Garekk and Vivian and handed them their daggers. "Thanks for trying to help me,... we can talk more on that later. You know campfire shit." He then moved over to Drizzak and handed him one. "Yes even you get one. You are a valued member to the group after all." He said as he darted back across the ante chamber to see the dwarf. He saved him for last mostly because he wanted to speak with him. "Hey Bjoric,... here have this silver dagger. You know to solidify that we are all a team now." He said and then he leaned in. "Your a cleric right?... I read in some of the lich's notes that he has a vessel to chain his soul to. That vessel... your not going to like this. It think it's the chalice. In his notes he said he found a perfect vessel to fuck the mages guild over even if they managed to kill him. A vessel they would not expect. The mages guild wants the chalice right? good way to say fuck you to them would be to make them decide to want the chalice or destroy it to destroy him." He said.... He then looked to the chalice. "But make sure though with a detect evil spell or something." With that he moved back into the ante chamber and sat himself down pulling out the jewelry... they are different colors soo... he looked at his group his eyes narrowing in thought. Hmmm... okay here is what I think. Red=Artos Blue= Hugh White= Bjoric Green= Tree lover... I mean Deila Crimson= Sana yellow= Me black= Varis magenta= Ellyn cyan= Garekk orange= Drizzak. Violet= Vivian There seperating them he proceed to hand those out as well. Saying simply... "Here, I think its enchanted so when we go into town we can find someone to identify it or maybe Artos can." Of course he replaced the name Artos with you when he got to the magus. Vivian smiled as the little guy made their group a thing now. I suppose if the others didn't mind we could bad together and take future jobs or adventures together. She did not mind. Especially if the plan was to get the hell out of this desert. She thought with a smirk. She then moved over to Artos and Varis, forcibly dragging Garekk with her, after recieving the ring from Ellis. She put it on right away. What it did she did not know. "Well Varis, good to see your trying to make friends. Well to the others anyways. I kind thought and felt special when it was just me you decided to socialize with." She said. Garekk rose a brow... wait are these two going to be a thing? That would be odd. He shrugged and began to look at the earing the halfling gave him and sighed placing it in his ear. "Why did I have to get the Cyan colored one." He said. [u][b].....Meanwhile back at the city[/b][/u] A spider had been summoned by a sorcerer named Danika. Her dark features hard to see through her visage. The spider looked closely like a large black widow spider with a red hourglass on its back and bottom. She gave it orders in a language unknown to the surface world. The spider paused for second taking in the orders. It's eyes darting all around. It then bowed its body and moved crawling out the window. The woman looked to the man who gave her her orders. "Tell Tonya that the spider is in the process of killing the merchant... no one will know of our plans. Especially no nosy Inquisitor...." She said. The spider climbed quietly down and onto a roof top. The building it came from was a story larger then the one it landed on. Once more it quietly moved jumping from roof top to roof top with such ease. It did not take long before she spotted the merchant. On his way home from the market. There was not telling how long it would take for the inquisitor to find the man or how close he was to this location. The spider had to act quickly jumping to the building the merchant just passed by and quietly stepping down the side of it. The spider was on the streets now getting ever closer. It then reached out with it's leg spinning the merchant around and slamming its foot into the mans chest knocking him down. The man let out a scream but was quickly silenced by the spider spitting a sticky substance at the man's mouth. It then crawled over the man its large body almost as big as the man's. Her stinger sliding into place as she got into position and then she stabbed into his abdomen injecting the sweet venomous nectar. Another scream came from a old woman as she saw the situation. She then ran off as if to find the inquisitor himself. The spider would smile if it could. This was perfect, it moved into the darkness of the alley until it found a drain. It opened the drain and climbed inside closing the lid behind it. It vanished in the darkness and kept moving to properly hide. All it needed was to wait for its spell to end and it would vanish into nothing.
