She needed only inform she is courtier from Chargoth to allowed the group to pass, so thus indicate her higher status and allowance to enter restricted district which was clearly for wealthy and noble alike. In center of district however was not mansion, but a dark gothic fortress.

Rest of city was normal and varied in decor and appearance but the fortress which had castle and cathredal sort design mixed gothic images of undead and monsters is clearly much older building.<br/><br/>In here Glysora did not bully through social status quo, the gates were guarded by city watch and she politely asked for audience with lord Grimjaw, master of chains. One guards nods and departs inside briefly, coming out and waiting. Soon large double doors open and they are greeted by petite, short and cute maid (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/813762d4-3f9c-4ed7-9b71-26e7b9c57b66/dbcyk5q-0b9ebc9a-1ffa-4a01-bbe9-4f04bf1dbff7.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzgxMzc2MmQ0LTNmOWMtNGVkNy05YjcxLTI2ZTdiOWM1N2I2NlwvZGJjeWs1cS0wYjllYmM5YS0xZmZhLTRhMDEtYmJlOS00ZjA0YmYxZGJmZjcucG5nIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.HsmZBVlSjECGTKCh4okd-drgnSF_lwkj7PiupBqGMCI), which crimson/pink eyes gleam by inner light and her smile does not hide her vampire fangs as she in cute voice says; "Welcome to Dark Keep guests! Lord Grimjaw will meet you at the lounge, please follow me. I do not want clean one of your remains from one the trapped hallways."<br/><br/>The maid leads the group through dark hallways, there were no paintings, mirrors nor light sources besides dim lights through painted windows. Overall place felt haunted and empty, but once they reached large wooden doors which open to lounge area, they are welcomed by warm light by fireplace and in one large windows to outside looks lord Grimjaw. He stands seven feet tall, dressed on dark crimson leather pants, boots and sleeveless shirt. His hair was white/blue and skin pale and overall he appeared very muscular, his body carried dozens of scars in arms and both arms had tattooed black chains. As he turns, burning orange/crimson eyes look on Glysora and the party and indeed he has iron jaw replacing his lower jaw. He has sharp jagged iron teeth in jaw which connect seamlessly to fierce vampire fangs (and other fangs, liked filed) on top side. Without moving his jaw his voice echoes to minds of everyone; "Welcome to Dark Keep, what business proposal you bring to me Glysora?"<br/><br/>Glysora bows courtly manner and informs on situation; group promising deal with wolves and are capable doing so. On request by Glysora party displays the heads and ears they got from earlier wolves as proof. As lord Grimjaw studies each ear and head carefully he replies; "Pity you did not get the alpha, these direwolves have been pest for months."<br/><br/>Lord Grimjaw then tells so far efforts by city to try hunt the wolves; they tried three times and each time was absolute failure. As most denizens of the city are one way or other 'allergic' to sunlight, so when sending parties out they tried hunt during night but then set camp for the day hours. None wolves were found. However during day hours three companies were ambushed by the direwolves, exposing them to sunlight which turned fight for direwolves advantage each time.<br/><br/>Lord Grimjaw continues; "In first sightings there was report of immense sized black direwolf leading the pack with smoking red eyes. I doubt it's natural direwolf but some intelligent entity. Oversized worg perhaps? Either way the packs behavior is not normal, they act tactically and do hit and strikes in organized manner. We are not merely dealing with random bunch of animals; but organized skirmish in form of wolves. There's intelligence behind the operations, clearly the packs are controlled by single powerful alpha and your main goal is eliminate the alpha. As no doubt wolves would not bother us unless commanded by alpha. So far our intel of alpha itself is minimal, but in large scale first attack it was told there was fire magic used in battle but what way it's not known.<br/><br/>The pack's dens have been found but they always are empty, they keep on move and establish new dens when needed and alpha is constantly recruiting more and more wolves. Even several miles away. I have one shipment of slaves coming and I can direct you to them, they can serve as bait and hope you catch alpha or other half of pack and track them down. Also knowing you will be dealing against fire magic I can give you one used tokens which provide a temporal ward against fire attacks. Besides these wards Sanguine Market cannot provide further aid unless you want hire mercenaries yourself. As we had suffered enough losses with earlier attempts and all remaining troops are only for defending city itself along keeping the order.<br/><br/>So what you request as reward if you do this deed?" Lord Grimjaw studies each of the villains, Glysora for once is silent and curiously waits what villains want for as rewards.
