The tunnel wound into the earth for a little ways, going darker as they progressed but then lighting up by a number of strange, white orbs that seems to grow on flora stalks from the roots that spidered along the dirt walls - as if they were the very fruit of a particular plant. They illuminated the way as they moved further in.
Then the tunnel would open into a large yet humble chamber - cozy and damp with the heavy scent of turned soil settling in the air. And the place was decorated like a home itself - a small table with a pair of chairs, strewn with books and candles and feathers and ink wells. Another desk sat in the corner, seeming to bow under the weight of the numerous items that sat upon it - from gems to books to bits and bobs to bottles and jar containing bits of this and that, minerals and dried things alike.
Standing by a podium bearing an open volume was an old man, dressed in plain and bland robes fitted with a simple sash. His wispy beard settled as far as his chest as his similar head of remaining hair reached just past the shoulders - with the stereotypical pointed hat upon his head. His bony hands were resting on the pages, a pointed finger running along the lines of text, and his pointed nose followed along as his beady eyes ran along, as well.
They would lift up and sparkle at any new company that came through the door... so to speak. "Well, hello hello!"

Keld follows the tunnel carefully. A deck of cards in his hands, magic gathering at his call. He is mildly surprised to find that the room is... Cozy. Looking more like a home than a lair. He is also rather surprised at the friendly old man who greats them. Still the fate weaver doesn't let his guard down.

Physical Description: Wolf - stature of a large grey wolf, mottled patches of darker grey and black mingle in with a lighter grey coat. A single black patch of fur surrounds the blue eye, while the brown eye is surrounded by the light grey color. Teeth are sharp and well maintained, just like his claws.
Hybrid - His most common form, his coloring perfectly matches the wolf form. This form stands around 7ft tall, weighs nearly 330 lbs, with a fairly long tail.
Human- only used when interacting amongst civilized society, he is tall for a human, around 6'3" and about 210lbs. His long hair matches the grey and black coloring of his wolf fur, and the only distinguishing feature is his canine eyes and elongated canines.
Clothes and Equipment: Clothing - Cairex now wears a custom suit of armor, enchanted so that it will resize as he does, providing his already formidable wolf forms with substantial armor that is lightweight but strong, akin to mithril in both strength and weight.
Equipment - A good sized bastard sword and a small dagger are his only weapons, plus teeth and claws.

The look of surprise that crossed Cairex's face was reminiscent of a dog who just realized that the reflection in the mirror was not a statue but in fact another dog (well, in their mind) and leaps back to bark at it. Friendliness from an evil wizard who massacred an entire family of magnificent dragons was the last thing he had expected to find here. He was also partially grateful for the introduction from Keld, he still could not pronounce Airgitnaglock or whatever properly. So he settled for standing behind Keld and looking large. The menacing part came from the massive teeth, muscles, claws and sword. He didn't even have to try for that part.

The old man hobbled on a gnarled wood staff like a walking cane, coming out from around the book to look at the pair of them properly with a twinkle in his weary eyes.
"Indeed, I am! What brings you two to my little corner I call home?" he inquires, genuinely curious.

This is so very different from what Keld had expected. This was the guy who shoved an evil rock into Ith? He seemed like a doddering old man! Still he didn't doubt what Owein had told him. After all he'd been right about the man being here. So Keld still drawing in power says with authority. Doing his best to sound official.
"By order of his Majesty King Averin Arach, you are under arrest. You are to come with us to Avelius to undergo questioning in trial. You are charged with possession of an eldritch artifact of an insidious nature, use of said artifact on a minor, and abetting an attack on the city itself. Our orders are to take you in alive if possible. Dead if not. Please put your hands in the air and drop to your knees. At which point we will place anti-magic shackles upon you to prepare you for transport back to Avelius."

"Don't forget impersonating a member of the royal family." Cairex added, a hint of amusement in his voice.
Like Keld, he had not expected the wizard to be some wizened friendly man, something was off, he could almost smell it, and as Keld delivered the charges Caorex's muscles twitched as the wolf readied himself. If the mage were to show his power now would be the time to do that.

"Oh... oh dear. Those are some heavy charges..." The eyes of the old man blinked sadly, but he shuffled forward and strained to bring himself down onto his weak knees, hanging onto that staff for dear life as he eased down to the ground. Once he was completely down he let out a heavy breath, obviously tired from the effort.
Yet, despite this he brought the staff to rest on the ground beside him before lifting his frail hands up as instructed - waiting for the pair of visitors to arrest him.

If this old man was putting on an act it was a good one. Keld actually felt a pang of guilt watching the old man struggle to his knees. The masked mage approaches slowly and places the anti-magic shackles on the old man. Assuming the old man doesn't put up any resistance, Keld would not make the shackles too tight and even help the old man regain his footing. Once this is done he'd look to Cairex. Expression unreadable thanks to the mask. His voice sounding more confused than anything else.
"Well, I guess we should get going."
Unfortunately, teleportation was impossible into or out of The Wyld. The chaotic natural energies making it a fools game for all but the most skilled of mages.

The old man's act was convincing, but he had seen witches pull the same stunts. Pretend to be captured just to get in the enemy's camp where they could wreak subtle havoc amongst their enemies. Still, the old man looked frail, and Cairex thought it possible that there was multiple layers of deception here. The being had already tricked Ith into thinking the King had killed his family, perhaps he had also tricked them into thinking this magician was responsible. Or this magician was a liar...although he must be powerful to survive in such lands as these in spite of being so seemingly frail.

The old man smiled in thanks to the man as he helped him to his feet, managing to hobble forward despite the weight of the shackles around his wrists. He was completely compliant, and still friendly despite the gravity of the charges pressed to his name.

Keld looks again at Cairex. Seriously what was going on? Well, it was a mystery for another day. Now that they had the captive it was time to return home. With Keld's probability manipulation and Cairex's wolf pack it should be a safe enough trip. Once they are back in Avelius Catherwane would be taken to the keep to be interrogated by the king.

Cairex shared the look of bemusement. There had to be a game of some sort going on here, but what nature or form it would take was yet to be unveiled. The Pack would come running up to him as they led the strange, cooperating wizard outside of his Den and into the Dragon's Run proper.
"The King will know what to do with him. Let's head out."
