[quote=Fanilly Danbalion][i]"Something has gone wrong, and so you must perform the duty I hired you for. It is a black, glossy piece of metal, appearing dark even in a well-lit room. It should be wrapped in several layers of cloth, but if it is not take care not to touch it with your bare hands. Do not allow anyone to come into direct physical contact with the shard. Wrap it carefully and return to me."[/i][/quote]

[quote=Tyaethe Radistirin]"[i]Angroron[/i]. It's a piece of Angroron. What [i]idiots[/i] were keeping that around without telling the Church? Who [i]sent[/i] you?"[/quote]

[quote=Gillian Reynaud][color=00aeef]"You realize we can't exactly let you walk away with the artifact. I imagine your employer is going to be a bit cross about that, but is that going to be an issue with your lot? Don't know what you're getting paid, but I doubt trading blows with the Roses was included in the billing."[/color][/quote]

"[color=yellow]Hold on, guys. What's an 'Angry Moron'?[/color]" Jarde's question was drowned out by the other knights who were infuriated that a piece of immense evil was housed secretly in this fort. But context was enough, if it angered the veteran Iron Roses and somehow managed to cause all of this carnage then this 'Angry Moron' must be quite the artifact. Not only that, it appeared that multiple groups were aware of its location and had come looking for it. The pileup was just making Jarde's head spin.

Sir [u]Gillian[/u] suggested to team-up with the mercenaries for now in search for the evil artifact, something that Jarde completely agreed with, but he made it pretty clear that once found, the 'Angry Moron' piece would be coming with the Iron Roses. Something that might cause an issue with Alette's band who was sent here to retrieve said artifact.

"[color=yellow]W-Well, why don't we actually find this black metal first and then worry about who gets it later?[/color]" Jarde tried to diffuse the tension. "[color=yellow]Who knows, maybe Miss Sharky-Shark may later change her mind about lugging around a piece of wacky evil that took down a fort by just being there. She doesn't want the same thing to happen to her own mercenaries, does she?[/color]"

"[color=yellow]Now then, who goes with who and who goes where? Most importantly, does anyone have some extra sheets or cloths to wrap 'Angry Moron' with?[/color]"
