Crassus shrugged at Marissa's first question.  "That is not my place to know.  I've never actually been inside the crypt since it is a place where only those who belong to your House and possess the crest may enter safely.  As far as how I got word."  He pointed to the sigil of Talonius that was upon the parchment.  "That wasn't there before.  As far as I can assume, somebody possesses another one of these maps and is trying to make contact with you.  At any rate, you all should make the necessary preparations for a long hike.  I'll have Ehren waiting for you outside shortly, meet up with him and he'll lead the way."<br/><br/>One of the manor's attendees entered the study before anybody had the opportunity to start heading out.  "Sorry to interrupt, your Graces, but the bard, uh... Mr. Tips wishes to speak to you all regarding something about a legacy to show the world."  Crassus sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.  He had little patience for the academic sorts, especially those who spent days scrawling on parchment telling of fantastic tales another had lived in order to inherit some measure of glory by proxy.  Of course, such a thing was inevitable as a career soldier who had shed blood on the front lines with brave men who gave their lives for the good of Viemera while the academics played with their maps and sand tables hundreds of miles away.  He had gone to great lengths to avoid being cornered by the intrusive bard and had no intention in stopping now.  "I don't have the patience to meet with that man.  I'll leave it up to you whether you decide to humor him or not."  Crassus said addressing the heirs.  "Best get moving then while you still have daylight to spend."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Half an hour later, Ehren had made his way to the manor's entrance adorned in his light scouting gear and prepared for a nice long hike given the size of the pack strapped to his back.  It was there he waited for the heirs to meet up with him so he could take them through the lush forest for the first leg of their journey to their family's crypt.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Once everybody meets up with Ehren, playing out whatever interactions need to be done, I'll jump ahead to them having set up camp.  As such, I'll also need volunteers for night watch and the corresponding shifts (1st, 2nd, and 3rd).<br/></div></div>
