"Oh, I'm sure you'll like Infernia..." Mareth assured them with a smile, plopping into Lisa's lap and cuddling in as she scritched the catgirl behind an ear. "She's a tiefling wizard, who was petrified by a now-deceased basilisk. She wasn't precisely<em>willing</em>, but I wasn't taking no for an answer. Right now she's re-building her spellbook at the academy."<br/><br/>"As for other adventurers...there are two. First is Deria, a pretty monk who's in the area. I am interested in her, but she's...a secondary concern. More important is Melany, a rather rude paladin of Iomedae, who's in the area. She's starting to...get on my nerves, and I'd like to show her the error of her ways...<em>with</em>both of you, and the bandits, helping of course." Mareth smiled, a bit more predatory this time, and continued. "The map showed three places that would be...good for lairing and converting others, hmm? There's a cave with kobolds, which I'd like the two of you to clear for me, an old cathedral, and some catacombs. If the two of you could clear out the kobolds and then...try to get Melany to accompany you to the cathedral the day after? After the group of you at least<em>partially</em>clear it, we can all gang up on the paladin and whisk her off to the caves for her...lesson."
