Roxanne nodded. It seemed as though this was all the information she would be getting from the mysterious Mr. Benedict tonight. As she got up to leave, though, she noticed the remaining seven cards on the table. Card number two had contained valuable information. Perhaps these other cards would as well. She leaned back town to look into the crystal ball.
"Benedict, are you there? Do you mind if I take a look at the rest of these cards?"

“I am, and I would. Do not touch the rest of the cards. The rest of the cards are irrelevant. The remainder of the information related to your mission will be given tomorrow morning. Tomorrow, there will be a map, and detailed instructions. But not tonight.”

Thaelyn Mortris
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 310
Age: 22
Physical Description: At 5'7", Thaelyn is just above average height for a woman, with a slender build that makes her just shy of willowy. Slight curves and a womanly shape keep her from looking boyish, if only barely. She has long red hair that falls to her knees, and rich crimson eyes that are usually filled with curiosity, set in a face with delicate features.
-------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Thaelyn wears a set of white and blood red armor which is inscribed inside with a complex series of magical runes. This provides her armor with a strength that belies its lightness, as well as serving as a sort of magical buffer that wards off most spells. She also carries a spear, or perhaps it's a staff - she seems to use it as a combination of both, using it both to fight and to channel her own magical abilities.

"..Uh. What." Thaelyn looked at Alden with an expression verging on mutinous. She did not like being told what to do. But as the waitress spoke, it sounded like there was something about that particular drink that was.. bad. So after narrowing her eyes suspiciously at Alden, she took the menu back and eyed it again. So, not the Heartbreak. Okay then.
"I guess I'll take a glass of the Avalon then..?" She still sounded uncertain, and like she might throw something at Alden if he overrode her again. Probably a good thing she was once again handing the menu back to Ellen, then. One less thing available for her to chuck at the poor guy.

Fenrir Skargard
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 196 
Age: 29
Physical Description: Fenrir is a large Arctic Werewolf, with fur as white as the snow that plagues his habitat. His paws and muzzle are stained a slight pinkish color from the bloody nature of his food, primarily Caribou and Mountain Seal. His yellow eyes are predatory, and would be terrifying to see in the darkness of a cave or blizzard. He stands roughly 7ft tall, and weighs nearly 300lbs. His fur, claws, and teeth are immaculately well-maintained, as the Wolf believes that keeping oneself clean is foremost in respecting another, for if you do not respect yourself, you cannot respect others.
Clothes and Equipment: He wields the mighty sword White Fang, a Frost-Enchanted Sword he took from the lifeless corpse of a White Witch whom had promised him the sword, then tried to kill him with. The sword, imbued with the blood of the witch, gives him abilities similar to hers, mainly focusing on cold and frost related abilities. His legs are covered by plate armor, and his left arm is covered in a gauntlet with fingers ending in wicked looking claws. The gauntlet is inscribed with more Frost Runes, giving it similar, albeit less powerful, abilities to White Fang.

Fenrir drained the last of his brandy as he stood to leave. He had no interest in what the other cards said, was tired of trying to pry information out of the person who called itself Benedict. The free rooms were nice, and he would have to make sure he put the rest of his drinks for the evening on the room.
"Thank you, Benedict, for the job opportunity. I eagerly await its beginning. Is there anything further?"

"Not until tomorrow, no."
With that final utterance, the crystal ball dims, just enough to be perceptible. A few moments later, it goes completely transparent, all traces of magic or something within the glass disappearing in a blink of an eye.
It seems like Benedict is finished too- without even so much as a "sleep well."

Alden Marshal
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,420
Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

Alden can sense the hostility from Thaelyn, but gives no outward sign of being bothered. As high marshal he had gotten used to giving orders to people not used to taking orders. One his kids crawls into his lap, little Naoki he notes after a quick check. He smiles down at her and absently pats her head. He offers no objection to the change in order. |

Roxanne hesitated for a moment after the ball went dark, weighing her options. She could just go to sleep, like Fenrir...but then she'd be wondering what was under those cards all night long. What if they held extra information? It wasn't as though the mysterious Mr. Benedict was above withholding information. And the light was gone, so nobody was watching...right? She ran back to the table, impulsively flipping over the rest of the cards. What secrets could they hold?

No objection this time. Thaelyn realized Alden had been trying to protect her, and her hostility eased. She instead gave him a look that was a mixture of apologetic and grateful, then folded her arms atop the table and leaned against the item. She caught the attention of one of the little ones and grinned at them, crossing her eyes, before turning her focus back to Alden.
"What do you do here in Isra?" She sounded no more than curious. New to the city, it made sense she would be interested in things she didn't know, and learning about the one person she'd really had chance to meet properly.

"I'm high marshal of the sun marshals."
Alden says this casually, but his eyes are intent on Thaelyn. Her response to this could tell him something valuable. Surprise or confusion would be innocent enough, unless they were feigned which he might be able to detect. A non-response would tell him that their meeting wasn't as coincidental as he'd thought. Part of him knew it was silly to be so paranoid of thr girl. Despite her spear and armor she seemed harmless. Still he wasn't known for being careless or trusting.

Thaelyn blinked. And then a puzzled look crossed her face. Even a blind man could see that the expression was genuine, let alone someone as perceptive as Alden.
"I have no idea what a Sun Marshal is, but it sure sounds important. Guess I should be glad you gave me the benefit of the doubt instead of calling down a rain of fire on my head." The blood mage laughed anxiously, once again rubbing at the back of her neck as she offered a crooked smile. Idly, she wondered how she managed to get herself into these situations. She just seemed to have a knack for stumbling into things that could potentially get her in a great deal of trouble.

Our job is to do whatever is needed to keep Isra safe. To do the jobs no normal person or even group of people could accomplish. So I'd say your assessment is correct."
Alden gives her a friendly smile. That unique smile that he was so good at. The one that conveyed perfect friendliness and perfect ability to kill someone in the same expression. It doesn't last long though, he doesn't want to scare his children after all. So he switches the topic by turning the question back on her.

Alden finally relaxes completely. Whoever this girl was she wasn't dangerous. Or at least no dangerous in a way he was worried about. Thaelyn was far too bad at controlling her emotions. At her words he nods his head.
"I was in a similar situation once. I think I even used those exact same words. Conflict of interests."
Alden chuckles at the memory. Though if Thaelyn was watching him she'd see that haunted look in his eyes. The memories of that day were sore. Not the open bleeding wound they once were. But still painful. After a moment he shakes his head and says with a forced smile.
"What kind of skills do you have? I might be able to find you some work."
His children sensing their fathers sadness flock to him. Cuddling up as near as they can. They knew their daddy got sad sometimes and they liked to help in their small way. This act got a small, but genuine smile from Alden.

Roleplay posts: 310
Age: 22
Physical Description: At 5'7", Thaelyn is just above average height for a woman, with a slender build that makes her just shy of willowy. Slight curves and a womanly shape keep her from looking boyish, if only barely. She has long red hair that falls to her knees, and rich crimson eyes that are usually filled with curiosity, set in a face with delicate features.
-------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Thaelyn wears a set of white and blood red armor which is inscribed inside with a complex series of magical runes. This provides her armor with a strength that belies its lightness, as well as serving as a sort of magical buffer that wards off most spells. She also carries a spear, or perhaps it's a staff - she seems to use it as a combination of both, using it both to fight and to channel her own magical abilities.

Thaelyn looked empathetic at the gleam in his eyes. It was one she recognized well. She'd seen it in the mirror a few times since leaving her former job. Doing her best to assume that mantle of composure and control, she straightened in her seat and folded her hands on the table before her, then rolled her shoulders in a small shrug.
"I'm good with books and numbers." It was clear, no matter how she tried to hide it, that there was more in her repertoire than just that. But she also just as clearly didn't want to talk about it, for some reason, and she looked away from Alden to instead idly assess the inhabitants and goings-on in the building around them. She almost felt like he'd figure out her 'secret' if he looked at her long enough. She had a subtle aura of magic around her, but it seemed almost dormant, as though it required something to be active.

Roleplay posts: 1,420
Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

"And I'm good at juggling."
Alden says blandly, though he can't suppress a wry grin.
"You are wearing armor, carrying a spear, and I can see magical residue on you. You aren't about to convince me your skills are limited to book keeping."
Alden drums his fingers on the table absently. Hand stoking Naoki's back. The young cat girl had sprawled out on her belly. The rest of the children were impatiently waiting for their food. The high marshal is trying to figure out what Thaelyn is hiding. He doesn't think she has the disposition for mercenary or assassin. Maybe she was a knight that went rogue or something like that? He wasn't sure.

Thaelyn stiffened, looking at the children, and then fixing her gaze on Alden. She spoke quietly, trying to keep her tone casual.
"I.. you're right, but.. I don't want to talk about.. that.. in front of little ears." Whatever she had to say, it was obviously best not said in front of his children. She liked them, and wanted to draw out her time with them. Because she got the feeling Alden wouldn't let her be around his children anymore after she told him the truth of what she was, and what she could do.

Now that was interesting. Alden thought at Thaelyn's response. What could this woman be hiding? He supposed he'd have to find out after lunch. Which arrived just then. The children cheered and clapped finally getting their food. They dug in hungrily as only children can. Which is to say they picked at everything, eating the entirity of some things while leaving others untouched, and getting a great deal of it everywhere but their mouths. Alden ate his meal with more decorum than his children. Or he tried to, it was hard when a little hand tried to shove forkfuls of food into his mouth. They all wanted him to try their food and tell them it was the yummiest. Of course Thaelyn wasn't sparred from this treatment and she had a fair number of kids trying to feed her as well.

Thaelyn relaxed noticeably when Alden dropped the matter, at least for the time being. And then their food was there! Excellent. Thanking the server, she dug into her food with gusto, and her attempt at being the serious mage was completely lost the first time one of the little ones insisted she take a taste of their food. She made a fuss over every offered forkful and the child who extended it, assuring all of them that their meals were all supremely delicious. She even took the opportunity to clean off the faces and hands of those near her, when given the opportunity. And she managed to eat her own lunch in the process. Clearly all that experience wrangling unruly children hadn't gone to waste. Finishing her lunch with a contented sigh, she wiped her mouth clean and took the final sip of her drink.
"That was delicious. I'll have to come back here and sample more of the menu at another time. Preferably after I find work and a place to live.." This last was muttered absently to herself as she began to dig into her coin purse.

Seeing Thaelyn pull out her purse he eaves his hand. Trying to indicate she should put it away.
"They only accept the in house currency here. I'll pay."
He produces a handful of tokens and lays them out on the table. He didn't actually need to pay of course. He was pretty sure Lady Naoki would wave the bill if he just dined and left. Still he received a portion of his salary in tokens so might as well spend it. Getting to his feet he looks to his kids. Half of them are yawning now that their bellies are full.
"Looks like you guys are ready for a nap. Come on let's get home."
He scoops up Rawr Rawr and Moon Moon two of the yawning children. The rest fall in line following their daddy.
