<strong> Current Location;  Toril, in the southwestern edge of the Milky Way Galaxy.  Time is 11:45 A.M.  Exact location is Baldur's Gate, northern edge in Bloodmire Manor.  Current objective is to find the source of strange pulse in the shadows and what is its purpose.</strong><br/><br/>It had started nearly two weeks ago at first it had gone unnoticed as there is always something moving in the shadows and after centuries Tyger had learned to ignore such things only taking notice to the movements that meant a danger to himself or the world he lives in. Its persistence however finally got his attention. Now as he looks down at the apparently abandoned and foreboding stone structure it is like the heartbeat of some huge and dangerous beast. Each pulse it emits sets his teeth on edge. The wind changes and brings air from across the manor to him and he cringes as the scent of blood, death, decay, and evil power are not centuries old. The outside may look abandoned but there are definitely new horrors lurking hidden within its walls. The energy pulses radiating out from through the shadows and these new horrors have to be connected.<br/><br/>Approaching the ancient building from the back Tyger moves without making a sound and virtually unseen until he reaches the wall itself. There he stops remaining silent and cloaked in shadow as he studies the old rock wall. After just a moment the half elf begins to climb and he quickly and expertly ascends the wall just an odd bit of darkness sliding up the wall. When the ninja reaches a window on the top floor he slips silently into the dark shadows of the unlit interior. Taking just a moment for his eyes to adjust to the darkness he sees a long abandoned bed room filled with cobwebs and dust. One of the posts at the corner of the large bed has collapsed onto the bed which rotted and setting at an odd angle with one leg broken off. Ignoring the rest of the room he moves across the room to the door without leaving hardly a noticeable trace in the dusk the covers the floor. Stopping at the door he listens for a moment but hears nothing directly outside this room and tries the door and finds it locked.<br/><br/>Tyger pulls out his small metal probes in a leather pouch and selects two of them. After inserting both into the lock and a brief manipulation there is a bare audible click as the lock is released. The hinges however start to protest moving after so long of not moving with a squeaking of metal grinding against metal. He quickly stops and applies something to the hinges. He then awaits another moment before trying the door again, this time the door opens silently giving him a velar route to an empty dusk cover hallway. Moving out into the hallway he stays close to the wall taking advantage of the heavy shadows to remain unseen. He moves with the natural grace of his elven half and very cat like with the addition of having mastered the art of the shadow warriors at least two centuries before. The result is just another shadow moving silently in the shadows barely disturbing the centuries of dust cover on the floor. He can sense the source of the irritating pulse is somewhere below him and he begins to search for passage to the lower levels.<br/><br/>Suddenly hearing a scream of pain that is not quite human followed by the sounds of battle Tyger follows the sounds to a stairway leading down. He picks up his pace and his trail in the dust becomes more apparent but that is all that can seen or heard of his passage. The stairs bring him to another unused level and forces him to search for another way down. The sounds of combat become more intense as well as more unusual before he finally locates another flight of stairs leading down. Just he is nearing bottom of the staircase he picks a scent through all other scents that is familiar to him, but one that he has not smelled in nearly half a century. It is the scent of his only real friend, only person to accept him for the man he is even after seeing the beast that he becomes. Giselle Do'Urden the half light half dark elfess ranger. He pauses briefly as the scent brings up old memories of the two traveling and fighting together to stop just one of the threats to Faerun.<br/><br/>Tyger is brought out of his moment of nostalgia when the sounds of fighting stop and he hears a woman’s cruel voice, "Take her to the lab upstairs.  I think we just got ourselves a rare catch." For the first time since he heard the fighting started he looks more closely at his surroundings and sees that staircase he is standing on shows signs of use. Apparently the level he just came from is used at least in part. It appeared unused where he had descended but in his search for a way further down he had missed the signs of use. Not being sure of what had defeated his friend or what powers the woman had he decides to observe for now and rescue her when he has a better knowledge of their foe or it becomes necessary to save her life. He quickly and silently retreats back up the stairs and takes a position in the deepest shadow watching the stairs through angry red eyes waiting to see what brings his friend up and where they take her.
