While, shite. But finally, the pieces were beginning to come together. Sort of. They were uncovering more pieces, and were beginning to assemble theories. "[color=598527]So between what BB experienced last night, and what Master Urmdrus had to say. We should also be careful about what we say where. Though we cleared out the basement, we should be careful anywhere else we may decide to talk. If this is to be a game of wits and plans, information denial will be half the battle.[/color]" Kathryn said trying to think if she noticed anything else out of place. Thankfully, BB was already on top of working with Urmdrus to talk more potential sites to investigate. Kathryn turned to the Mosswaters who were explaining how the region had taken its loses in previous years. "[color=598527]I must also ask you both, do not repeat anything spoken in this room. Please. Not until we have a better idea what we are working with.[/color]" Kathryn asked in a tone that could be compared to pleading, as well as a firm stance on how serious things were. No anger though, just formal. When Lizbeth explained a little about her own motives, Kathryn couldn't help but sympathize. "[color=598527]You've been doing well Lizbeth. Not too many people can make me jump. Especially while in full kit. I am going to have to stop holding back to keep you from winning our practice duels.[/color]" Kathryn said with a chuckle in an attempt to brighten the mood. "[color=598527]Anyone else, I would pity them going against you blade.[/color]" Kathryn then said with less humor, and a bit more grit. Though still a confident smile on her face. The talk of a potential Lich worried Kathryn. She had heard the term, but she could far say she was an expert. Most of what she knew were children's stories of knights facing off the forces of evil in the dark. She felt out of her element. But, she was still determined to be of some help. "[color=598527]We have confirmed that a few of the hills in the distance match those in the dreams. The hardest part we are struggling with, are these dreams memories, or forewarning?[/color]" Kathryn asked. She had hoped to figure that out last time she went into town, but alas, no progress was made there. What did surprise Kathryn was how much Kosara seemed to know on the topic of magical contracts, liches, and undead magic. The tiefling never came across as the brightest in the bunch, but it seemed she knew a few things. "[color=598527]A bride? Or a child? Like trying to get an heir?[/color]" It... wasn't too implausible. "[color=598527]An heir of some kind makes sense. My own father was rather insistent on that while I was growing up. And other family after him.[/color]" Boy would they be displeased now. She almost made a comment how Lizbeth would be way too young to be a bride for someone like that, but before she spoke up she reminded herself that despite a lot of ethics, some people in power simply didn't care.
