				<div class="floatright">(http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp289/guardianangel98/Agrias7.jpg)</div>Absalom had stood as a center of trade and stood as a testament to Golarian for thousands of years. From the window a young woman looked out at the harbor, using it as a means to focus her attention while she tried to figure out the puzzle that had been playing out in this city of decades. At least once a week there was a bloody murder and they happened all over the city, to men, women and children, to people of all races and classes, to people of all status and station. She wondered how the people hadn't put the few pieces together to realize that this was likely a single killer who had ways of moving around that no one else had realized but she had committed herself from finding and stopping the criminal. <br><br>She sat calmly by the window, her brilliant blue eyes partly on the harbor and partly on the map layed out in front of her. It was a map of the city and had hundreds of droplets of red wax on it, each one marking where a murder by the killer had taken place for the last twenty three years. The candle was still burning, giving a mix of light from it as well as the ever falling sun that blanketed the sky in a mix of orange and darkening blue hues. <br><br>She was a tall and muscular woman as her trade was that of warrior but one could not call her butch either due to the near perfect feminine curves of her body. She had long blond hair that trailed down her back, falling all the way to her butt and that she kept braided and tied with a single blue ribbon yet there were also two long streaks that fell down both sides of her face, just in front of her ears, each one often covering her breasts. Her skin was a fair shade, showing that she was of Caucasian descent. Normally she wore armor and the clothes of the order of crows, a secret society of people who were doing their best to guide societies and make them a better place, however that was all neatly piled and laid out on a desk by the bed. Now she dressed in a simple wool robe that covered much of her but gave a hint at her cleavage and further down fell to the side to show her long muscular legs. <br><br><em>"There has to be an answer, how is he getting from his home to these killing grounds?"</em> she thought while picking up a small glass filled with wine and brought it to her lips. She took a drink while thinking but soon had her concentration interupted by a knock at the door...

				Caelyan had asked her to help with something after their meeting by the waterside, and so they had headed across the city to get to this inn. Zerra (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=30793.msg1722977#msg1722977) had to wonder why they were going there in the first place, it wasn't quite the ideal location. Still, it would have been rude to turn down her request for assistance.<br><br>She wore casual attire, her armor being too uncomfortable to wear when not needed and her hair caught the sun to reflect a shimmering gold. Ascending the stairs, she looked over her shoulder to Caelyan and asked, "So, how long have you known this woman?"

				(http://209.85.62.26/5941/107/upload/p7413370.jpg)<br><br>Caelyan's bright hair whirled as she looked back and smirked at Zerra. "Ha! I met her just about twenty minutes before running into you." She lifted up her hand and looked over her nails in a cocky display. "She observed as I went through a practice session with my blade and board and was impressed enough to hint at some mission she has." She let her gaze go to the stairs as they began making their way up to the inn's rooms. "Now I don't like how vague she was about it all or that she tried to make a move on me as if I was some fawning chambermaid..." Her cheeks resembled peaches with the flash of red that shot through them. "Even if her lips were soft."<br><br>Though no longer clad in the gray practice garb she wore earlier, she still wasn't truly dressed for battle beyond the sheathed short sword and dagger held to her hip with an embroidered leather belt. Matching embroidery swirled and lined about her thigh-high boots and gloves that left only her shoulders bare. Her top split at the abdomen and fell behind her in a short tail to expose the white silk leotard she wore underneath. Extremely fit and quite curvaceous, this noble was in no way shy about offering flashes of her cleavage, thighs, and derriere. At the same time, her toned physique and nimble, confident movements hinted at tremendous athleticism.<br><br>"Since our Captains had little of interest to offer us, I figured, why not? Can't be any harm in hearing her out, right? And if there is, well this sword isn't just for show." She quieted herself as they got within earshot of Elizabeth's room and dotted the door with a solid knocking once she and Zerra stood before it.

				<em>"The innkeeper must be done preparing my bath."</em> she thought as she got up, making sure to readjust the robe so it only gave away hints of her breasts and legs as well as filling her glass to the rim with wine. She walked over casually and opened it, her face showing a bright and cheerful smile of greeting but as soon as she looked over the pair it changed to one of surprise. Once again her brilliant blue eyes wandered over Caelyan, taking in every inch of her body just as they had done that very morning as she trained. Then they looked over to Zerra and did the same. It was only till after she had looked over both of them that she took a step back and began to walk toward the bed as she spoke. "Come in. I did not expect to see you agian but if you're here then that must mean your conviction holds true."<br><br>She sat down on the edge of the bed, waiting for both women to enter and close the door behind them. Once again the robe fell to the side, revealing muscled legs beneath it. "I see you also brought a friend. Let us get introductions out of the way first, I am Elizabeth a traveler, warrior, hunter, and some might call me a mad woman for the dangers I choose to face."

				Zerra smirked at Caelyan's comment as they waited for an answer at the door, folding her arms under her bust in the meantime. Seeing the woman who answered them, she couldn't help but smile at her delicate features yet strong physique, finding her eyes lingered a little too long at what hints she was offered. <br><br>She let her arms fall to her side as they walked inside and she answered the woman's introduction with her own, "Zerra, priestess to Shelyn and I suppose adventuress too." She couldn't help but grin when Elizabeth's legs revealed themselves, stepping to the side and leaning against the wall so she could keep both lovely women in her vision.

				A faint smirk flashed across Caelyan's lips at the conviction comment and she thought, <em>"Or maybe it means we simply didn't find something else."</em> <br><br>She smiled at the mention of Zerra and said, "That I did." as she pulled the door shut and listened to the priestess' self-introduction. "You 'suppose', huh? You'll be losing that word after a few nights on the road with me." Cae then turned her gaze back to Elizabeth. "That said, we were hoping you would elaborate on the dangers you choose to face now."

				"Not yet." she said simply while leaning forward and placing her hands in her lap, folded neatly. "First I have to know something. what do you know about the history of Absolom? the past...say twenty to thirty years specifically. The thing Im hunting began its reign of terror then, its gone nearly unnoticed for twenty three years meaning it must have a cunning mind, or an incredible string of luck. When I go on these hunts, I assume the wost so Im prepared for the worst...Are you ready to face an opponent that may be smarter and stronger then any of us and are you ready to receive no reward for it beyond the knowledge that you made people lives better and whatever spoils we find?"

				"That's a broad question." Caelyan replied before she added, "And 'reigns of terror' and 'going unnoticed' are two things that don't mix. Don't you have to notice something to be terrified of it? What has it done that would make people terrified of it?" She shook her head. "You're being incredibly vague here. How's about you cut to the chase and stop asking us about what we know and what we're willing to risk and for what and instead tell us what we're getting into."

				"You might think that, but the creature Im hunting is a regular boogy man." she said softly before sliding off the bed and walking over to the table. She set one of the chairs at the end, leaving a place for them both to sit as she pointed out the map. "Im sure the first thing you'll notice is the red wax marks on the city map. They mark murder sights for the past two years. I've done a lot of research on these sights and the victims. There seems to be nothing in the victim list that groups them together. They have a wide variety of ages, races, social status, political positions, wealth...theres just nothing that says a certain person will be attacked. So that lead me to the terrain, you'll notice the murders take place all over the city in all manner of places. Rich, poor, merchant districts, religious sites, government buildings, private residences. There was nothing about any murder site linking them together...that is until I went to investigate in person. I found a lot of those sights had storm drains within a hundred feet."<br><br>She reached down beneath the table and tossed over a cut up piece of fabric and threw it over the map, showing what looked like a tunnel system. "With this you see a map overlayed on the city. This map shows a forgotten set of storm drainage tunnels underneath the city. Every government department in the city had forgotten about it or lost records about it. What were looking for is down there, I dont know what it is exactly, I just know that to use a hidden storm drain system like this it has to be very smart, very cunning, or worst of all both."
