[IRP] Beginnings of Change

"Sorry for not noticing you earlier, then," He replied with a smile, walking the small distance to the others. He looked down at the prisoner they acquired. He didn't seem particularly harmed, but he was smart enough to be compliant with them. He was making comments about doing Elimine's work which pissed off Ambrose. He also said something about cultists. Before he can make a comment towards their prisoner, Ambrose had noticed their arrival. "Well...a guess a bit of both? Paige, you remember Marcus right? He was really scarred up guy that was with me in Pharae. Well, this is his sister..."He said, motioning towards Cassandra.

Cassandra walked up to the burly man. "Nice to officially meet you Ambrose, Paige. I am Cassandra Carvax, Spymaster of the Hyperion family...and the young lords former fiance," She commented, with a sly smile towards Shad. Before he could speak up, Cassandra continued speaking. "I've been tailing your group since you left that village. Making sure you three weren't being followed. I don't know why the pup didn't tell you about me yet." She finished, shooting another sly smile Shad's way.

"Ignore that fiance bit. Long story. She's just teasing," he said glancing at Cass. He turned towards the archer that followed them. "She was caught up in our little scuffle, but thankfully she seems like she can hold her own." He then directed his attention towards her. He bowed his head. "I am Lord Shadrach Hyperion of Arretium. Or was. The whole Lycian annexation muddled that a bit."

To that end, he moved on to their prisoner. He knelt down next to him. "When did Elimine decree that anima and dark magic are the bane of humanity? Was that when your precious church tore down the Tower of the Saint and put those words into her mouth? How many lives have been lost to this 'work' you've been doing? My baby sister has to live in Bern to escape the wrath of barbarians like those men back there," He said as he pulled out his 'journal'. He began tapping on the spine of the book as he spoke. "I was the guy that shot the fireball back there. Didn't hit any body or do much of anything. I'm pretty rubbish at it really. I'm far better with a sword than I am with magic. Didn't stop me from almost killing myself saving one of your villages from bandits with it."
