They didn't seem to be mere brute Mercenaries, at the very least. This was a good sign. Roman paused for a moment, and relaxed his shoulders slightly before speaking back into the crowd. [i]"First off, to answer your question,[/i] Roman extended a bony finger at Adrian. [i]"Over 1,800 people disappeared over the course of four days. That is not what would call slow, but I understand what you mean. And yes, we did in fact take measures against this. We evacuated the entire District, but many found themselves missing family members or friends the following mornings. Some even left the city, but eventually came telling us of missing persons. While not everyone in the District had disappeared, a large majority have. We do not know at this time what forces are working against us. Whether it's some sort of terrorist group, or some enemy country, we are unsure."[/i] Roman took a deep breath before addressing the next member. [i]"Next, Irvine. Whether or not you are cleared of suspicions is not up to me, it is up to those around you. Figuratively, of course. Not literally. As For Brax's whereabouts, we told him to stay by the entrance for observational purposes, but he may be further in.[/i] Next was the pirate woman. [i]"There aren't any solid leads we have at this point, but there is one thing I can tell you. The people that have miraculously made it out of there, are quite maddened by the whole thing, possibly even brainwashed, but you should all know this already. But what bothers Alex and I, is the subject of their ramblings. They mention... eyes, or at the very least, seeing things. And Cocoons. Something about flesh and cocoons. But that is all we have for now. As for the burning of houses, Alex is... mostly accurate with his spells..."[/i] Roman let out a small grin as he looked towards the court mage. Alex rolled his eyes and shifted his weight to one leg and put his hand on his hips. That answered the questions. Now all that was left was to send them in. [i]"Now, while I'm sure most of you are prepared for this, you will have the rest of the day to prepare your time inside. I cannot tell you what to expect, but I would bring the essentials. Torches, ropes, clean water, those sorts of things. Tomorrow at noon you will be escorted to the Saltaire District by a guard sent to find you. I am telling you this in advance so that you have no fear when you approached by them. Now then, that should be all. Unless of course, you'd like to add anything Alex?"[/i] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/181221/550966d431e3481ddf0e6b294d424256.png[/img][/center][hr] [i][color=6ecff6]"Actually, yes.[/color][/i] Alex turned to the group. [i][color=6ecff6]"One thing Roman neglected to mention is that we have the healers guild at our disposal. Should any of you suffer serious injuries, such as dismemberment, third degree burns, or death, the Healers Guild will take care of it. The Prince has made an arrangement with them to cover the costs. Now then, as Roman said, we will meet tomorrow. Until then, if you need me for say, enchanting services, you can generally find me in the library to the left,"[/color][/i] he points to a large coffee-colored oak door to the left of the group. [i][color=6ecff6]"Otherwise, I'll see you Tomorrow."[/color][/i] Alex gives a short bow, and begins heading up a staircase behind Roman. Roman bows slightly as well, and follows Alex up the stair case. [i]"Oh yes,"[/i] he stops suddenly and turns around. [i]"If you have any questions later, simply ask a guard here, to get me, and I will be with you as soon as possible."[/i] Roman turns back around, and heads back up the stairs.
