Kayden seemed open to any suggestions that his team had, and to their credit they seemed to have quite a few. Hobnob spoke his piece, the Gnomes among him speaking almost as if they were a hive mind. That would be an odd prospect, Kayden thought. He was glad that wasn't the case. Morek had sat to Kayden's right, chewing on some choice jerky he'd had in his pack. He took a large swig of Ale, and then wiped his mouth with his huge forearm. "Runes?" he asked Hobnob. "That's a hard wrought magic. Where'd you get Rune skills? Do ye mean Glyphs?" 

Kayden had to admit he was curious too. He didn't have the knowledge Morek had on Dwarven magic, but he'd heard enough from his powerful companion to be interested in hearing this. He supposed it wasn't impossible, since Gnomes had the closest relationship to Dwarves among the civilized folk. That is, until he heard Lis speak. Something had tingled his nose earlier, and he had not quite picked up on what it was, though it was a familiar scent... He turned to the Half-Dwarf beside him, listening as any competent Captain would, which he tried his best to be. She seemed to have some expertise on what they might be dealing with. Not only that, but she looked quite lovely this evening, he noted. His left hand was idly toying with one of his earrings as he listened to her, something he often did when admiring a pretty girl. 

Her Vampire warning brought the Prince to his senses however, clearing his throat. That and Nuva chiming in with his opinion. Kayden knew he must have some...foreign knowledge as well. The fact that he very well might be fighting an Undying soon caused some fear to well up within him. Kayden was more educated than most common folk, from his upbringing. He knew the Vampire was stronger, faster, and far more magically inclined than a normal human. The perfect hunters of man, and quite dangerous to about everyone else. 

Kayden pointed to Hobnob. "I don't think Pembrook would appreciate his house being booby trapped, but all in all, you might as well ask him if you're allowed to. Under these circumstances, you might have the reasoning behind him allowing it. Perhaps I can ask him, as long as you don't go too crazy on that. Let's not hang up a dog, if you catch my drift. Also, get that Steam Tank running as soon as you can. When we guard the Safe, you can be outside at the ready with it." he told the Gnome. 

The dashing young Captain turned to Secret, but she held up a hand. "I think I get you. I'll look about for any clues." 
"Strange disappearances, especially." he said. 
"This is an overflowing city in the Borderlands. Strange disappearances are not too strange." 
"Some can be." he said. "Perhaps someone with bite marks, or found on an altar, or someone who is normally trustworthy disappearing. Anything." 
She raised an eyebrow and cocked her hip. "That's going to cost a bit extra, fearless leader." 
Kayden rolled his eyes, but grinned. "Fine. Yoo'll get 20 extra Bronze Bordercoins. Sound good?" 
"What would you do without me?" 
"Solomon only knows," Kayden muttered, referring to the patron God of knowledge. 

Virgil cleared his throat to gain the attention of the others. He looked like an old story teller, his bushy mustache along with his leathery features being illuminated by torchlight. "Ye might need some Silver or Valdium, if it is one of the Undying. Silver's probably easier to come by, though maybe not as weapons. Hell, get priestly items. Those'll help against them and Dark Sorcerers. We had to wear a few blessed cloaks when my regiment fought the Khalahar back in the day. One saved my life from some nasty blood magic. Killed my horse though. Poor thing shriveled up as if its soul had been ripped away."
