His pensive gaze falls upon her, and a few moments later he begins to speak, at a normal tone of voice this time. "You would be right about that," he noted. "The Grangers tend to work on a need-to-know basis, as far as I can tell. But there is something about them I do know..."<br/><br/>He pointed a finger towards the front door, arching an eyebrow slightly. "One of them just left through that door," he muttered darkly. "That squirrel... Her name is Zoe. I recognize her as one of their agents." He shifts his seating slightly, obviously still a bit unsettled by the encounter. "She doesn't look like much, but she is a powerful magician and a potent predator. The Grangers use her as a hitman of sorts, to get rid of people causing problems... most likely me... And know that she knows you're all working with me, we'll really have to watch out for her." He finishes with a shudder, casting his stare at the ground.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Knowledge (local) check: 1d20(16) + 9 + 3 = 28; pass</div></div></div><br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Sillyness wrote:</cite>“So here’s what I purpose, Lesik is allied with a group of lycans that is allowing his movements outside of the city walls to go unchecked, Not to mention the information I have suggests he’s in possession of a machine that allows him to turn ordinary animals to vicious…seemingly magically infused predators. If we were to eliminate the lycans, Or somehow break their alliance with Lesik his movements would be restricted, Then we could then look for this machine and relieve him of it, Lesik would no longer able to move so freely and his ability to renew his forces would be diminished.

There's another lycan tribe out in East Falteen, Hevex, that I'm in pretty good with. Nice guys, mostly foxes. They're not on real good terms with the Gorvax since, like, ever. Not like open war or anything, but I know they keep close watch an' try to pick each other off when they can get away with it. I'll bet the Hevex alphas, Lex and Leesp, would help us out if we promised ta get rid of all those monster animals."</div></blockquote><br/><br/>At the mention of the lycans, Ureck's ears perked up as his eyes tore themselves from the floor. He wasn't aware of many things going on outside the city, but this was certainly one of them. At first, the thought of confronting the Gorvax made his blood run cold. How on earth would they manage to fend off an entire tribe, of lycans no less? However, when Sherani noted the Hevex and her good terms with them, the expression on his face softened as he ran the circumstances through his head. Perhaps this may just work...<br/><br/>"With all the people we have to deal with here," he began. "Heading out of town does sound like a good idea. Talia has her hands full already with all the incidents going around town, and I think the Grangers would be hard-pressed to send their agents into such dangerous territory. And if we have help from that other tribe, the Hevex, right? We might be able to make this work..." The tone of Ureck's voice made it obvious that the prospect intimidated him slightly. He had read many informative manuscripts about shifters and lycans during his time in the library, but then again, he had also read a number of horror tales more times than he should've...
