What seemed to be another surprise attack to usurp their plans seemed so far to go in their favour, thank the gods. The druid's companion seemed to appear into a fiend from hell and within a flash was savaging one of the undead with unnaturally large teeth. The rogue and fighter worked together seemlessly, Both used to battle and each taking advantage over the gains the other had made, and together saw another of the three zombies fall, now a burning mess. Only one remained, and it was hampered by a barrel, and distracted so it wasn't long before the druids magic stones and the warrior had it a a motionless heap. As others were either regaining their breath, sorting through the possessions the zombies had or disposing of the corpses Chloe thought it was time one question that had to be addressed.<br/><br/><em>"Titan, normally there is no reason for us to know what this case is holding but that is the <strong><em>forth </em></strong>time we have been attacked with in six blocks !<strong> Actually five</strong> ! Once trying to leave the tavern, another in the orders own sanctuary where we should sleep safely, two attempts to ambush us on the road, one when we are seeing to our horses, another thrawted by a false signal whistle, and then this ! Five ! Group attacks ! Organized too ! Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if half of the sailors are secret agents that will try again when we sleep !"</em><br/><br/>She then removed the case and placed it before herself, being careful to handle it with gloved hands.<br/><br/><em>"Why would a necromage care for this ? We have got lucky so far, but if this is some relic of an ancient undead-god I think at least that much we deserve to know. I know your a powerful mage of some sorts, so I know attempts to charm you will backfire or worse, but please Titan, tell us whats so important about this thing. <br/><br/>You are a mage of some sorts or have knowledge of this in some way for I recall the spell you made seeing this float above the table to check it was genuine. I assume you want me to carry it as others can feel its presence and its easier for you to see them coming if you know where I am and can watch entry points in secret over always looking over you shoulder, but For the love of all good gods Titan, what in the heavens is it ?
