Ahnasha shook her head. As much as she hated it, she understood the reality of the situation they were in. "That isn't a promise you can keep. None of us could keep it. We don't have control anymore. Sure, if these cultists turned on us, we could tear this place half to pieces. I don't care if they are mages, in these close quarters, we could kill a good portion of them, but...we couldn't really win. We couldn't kill them all, or even really just get out without taking losses ourselves. Several, or maybe even all of us could die. And their leader...I'm not sure what to think about her. Old mages tend to be powerful, and she's a vampire. There is no way to know how old she really is."

"For now, we have to wait." Meesei began to explain. She sat down on the bed and let out a deep breath, trying to rid herself of some of her worry. "Their leader, Hal-Neesa, said she needs to discuss our deal with her husband. I assume he is a leader of this place as well. By her words, she seemed more inclined to deal with us than Vile, but I do not trust her. Vampires tend to be silver-tongued beings, and she is a servant of the Lord of Schemes. In any case, we cannot leave until she has made her decision. In the meantime, it would be wise for us to learn more about this place, as well as these cultists. Any knowledge could help us."
