Several days ago
The Dwarven rider,and Harris rode their mounts
into the courtyard of Citadel Drezen.
The Dwarven Templar signaled the Brimorak demons atop the towers that
they could consume the hard ridden mounts before signalling Harris to follow him
inside. They entered through the main gatehouse and walked up the ramp. The Dwarf stood before a ½ orc
houseman and removed his riding gear, grunting at Harris that they would clean
up then eat. Harris was in the act of removing his riding boots when the
Tiefling woman stepped from the Sally Port into their view, a bright head of long white hair and two
horns protruding from her forehead.
“Is my brother aware of my return Chorussina?” the Dwarven
Templar inquired, “Pray tell me he is below and too heavily involved in his
research and duties.” The Tiefling
woman drifted over to the dwarf, draping her silk covered arm over the Dwarf’s
broad shoulders, “He is still engrossed with his research into the Nahyndrian
elixir, it worked on the Chimera!” she confided before asking, “Who is your travelling
companion Joran?”
Harris stepped forward to introduce himself, but quickly
found his thought difficult to form, as if there was something he had wanted to
say, a stupid smile slid across his features his attention fully upon the white
haired woman.

Joran chuckled at the ease with which the charm took his human companion, “So easy, lead him into the dining hall, I will know this man’s secrets. Chorussina smiled at Joran and explained that the human was so ensorcelled that he would freely tell her whatever they needed to know.
“Good, once we have his information we can decide if this information
should be shared with my brother Staunton or perhaps this human will provide us
a new path to pursue?” Joran watched and
listened as Chorussina questioned Harris Fairclaw. The pitiful human was so charmed with
Chorussina that he told her his biggest secret, one they were both very
surprised to learn.
“The Barbarian crusader, they call him Zervo, do you know
who that is? He is last of the Bloodstone clan!” Smiling as he said it Harris
saw the look of recognition that came over the Tiefling woman and
Dwarf Templar, “ I KNOW RIGHT? I mean that has to be worth something don’t you
think?”
Picking up his hammer and stepping up behind Harris Fairclaw,
Joran Vhane spoke before bringing his hammer down on Harris, “It’s
Worth EVERYTHING!”
