I can see the blood dripping from your holier than thou mouth."Tarravan touches his lacerated face. "I believe that's from your assault on me," he says mildly. "Do you consider us not the same species because you're Eladrin, or because you're dead?"

"He's an elf!""You Karrns have a thing about Eladrin, don't you?" he observes. "I was never clear on what they were supposed to have done. Yes, they're heathen savages from a wicked realm, but so are most people. As a people they're not unredeemable.""Uh, they kidnap and murder people?" I say incredulously. "You don't... someone gets taken by eladrin, they're just gone." I look over to the vampire and say disgustedly, "How the fuck did you ever get sent along with us. Does anyone even know what you really are, or did they just decide it don't much matter if you got hungry along the way with nobody else around and didn't bother telling no one, neither?" Did you know? I don't ask, glancing at Olegov.

"Interesting," Tarravan says, watching the exchange. "Tell me more about these Eladrin bands."

I ask. "Everyone knows about 'em. They been attacking villages and stealing people from outta their big tower thing, and they kill or chase off anyone that gets near. Some says they turned all the countryside around 'em to winter, even in Yeargrowth, but either way they come more when it's cold, for sure."
"I'm clearly not from a Spire, genius," I snort, "otherwise I wouldn't have been swanning around with the bloody army for the last hundred years, would I?"But this is something I am suddenly very interested in. I need to get back to the Fort. When are you planning on releasing us?"
"You're implying there are different factions within the Karrnathi leadership," I observe. "You think a bunch of soldiers is going to be up on all the latest political intrigue? Really?"
"Don't recall you saying who you are yet," I note, glancing back with minimal concern as the sarge is dumped on the table. Don't got a lot of worry to spare for something that's her own damn fault, all in all.

I need to get back to the Fort. When are you planning on releasing us?"Tarravan looks over at Oleg. "Are you still sticking to your cover story, then?" he asks, with a gesture toward Val. Then he replies, "Certainly, release is not on the table until I have the information I need. " He looks at the group as a whole. "Tell me everything you know about this artifact, and which faction you're attempting to bring it to."
I look down at Val on the table. Badly injured, but she will recover. In need of a reprimand, though, when she comes to.Well, there goes our cover. I'd rather we not end up like her, or worse."The story is true, at least in part. I am Chaplain Olegov; I am an unordained priest of Kol Korran. And captain, in the Karrnathi army. Many soldiers have gone missing in search of this artifact, and in addition to retrieving it for military purposes, we were to attempt to rescue any soldiers who had gone missing in search of it.""The artifact is necromantic in nature, beyond that, I know no specifics. Typical 'need to know'. Why do you ask about a faction? We're Karrnathi army, if that's what you mean."
