**A n old fortification linked to the palace grounds of the Plaza de Juste, along with the House of Lords. They are connected below the plaza through an ancient interlinked system of tunnels that is known to only a few within the government. The walls of the fort itself are constructed of drab gray stonework, magically reinforced with special wards and enchantments. Left over from the monarchy, this is where most of the cities criminals are held until they can await their individual inquiries or trials. The jail is run by the Deputy-Captain of Sylvan, Garrhett de Chatillon, second-in-command only to the Deputy-General himself, who is under direct command of the Lord Chancellor’s office.**
**The young Deputy-Captain of the guard was a tall, statuesque figure. Ruggedly handsome, with blond hair tied back into a single ponytail, his deep blue eyes poured over the paperwork he'd been going over all morning; the reports about the break-in that took place at the House the other night; whoever it had been was as slippery as an Elexian eel that was the truth. The young captain let out a sigh of exhaustion as he met the young girl's emotionless inquiry with indifference. This was Sylvan after all, awhile at this job and the weird just became common place.**
Rhett - I'm sure you have. . . He was last seen roaming the Rue St. Catherine, deep within his cups, but wounding several who have approached him for apprehension. He is a competent sword fighter and duelist, just be careful. Bounty is alive or dead, so don't take unnecessary chances.
Juris enters the fort, carrying the paper he had found in the barracks in Elexia.
Juris - It would seem that there are some demonettes doing some rather horrible things to travelers. I would like to offer my assistance as an arbiter to bring them to justice.
Juris - Yes. Yes I am. But I did fine in the Greevan Civil War, so I figure I'll be fine to do this as well Miss. My name is Juris Aiolos, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Juris gave a short bow out of respect and then offered his hand in friendship.
After finishing shaking Makeda's hand, Juris tries to start some small talk, seeing as he sees nobody that could help either Makeda or himself with information on the bounty at the moment.
Juris - You seem like you're a member of the Warriors' Brotherhood, would that be correct?
**The deputy had been listening to the exchange the entire time, pulling out some files on the fenettes while the two finished talking.**
Rhett - Okay, fenettes, fenettes, fenettes here it is. Right, listen up. There've been reports of travelers disappearing north of the city, right off the road. Apparently the only reason we're aware of it is it's only been males up to this point, but that may just be coincidence. Though I think we can safely assume it isn't. The reports say that the victims were simply lured off under their own power, and the women with them were unaffected. Though one lucky bastard made it out, and that's where we'll start.
**The captain showed them one of the papers he had pulled out, a map of the area where the last known victim was taken, a little northeast of Sylvan and south of Epicrin, close to the fringes of the Night's Enchantment.**
Juris - Oh, thank you very much sir. I must have not noticed you before. What did the victim say about what happened to him before he escaped and about how he escaped?
Juris looked at the map while awaiting Rett's answer.
**Rhett seemed distracted, having already turned back to the pile of unattended work that sat on his desk. Noticing Juris was still there, he looked up.**
Rhett - Mmm? Oh. Nothing really, he didn't get out much, he was in quite a state of shock, though we couldn't attribute it to any physical damage. We know it's a trio of demons, and we know they are enchantingly beautiful because that is all he could get out. My best guess is were dealing with emotionally-charged fenettes, who are formidable with mind magicks.
**The captain finished abruptly, turning back to his work.**
Sly walked boldly into the fort with his ananke escort close behind, and walked up to the desk. "Excuse me darling, but my cohort and I are interested in taking down the mysterious Jack O' Diamonds! What information can you provide us with?"
Rhett - We don't know much. Last break-in was at the Fire, same shtick as all his others, literally left behind a calling card, only Diamond Imbued.
**He handed them a card that shown very brightly, turned over, it was the Knave of Cups from the Elexian deck, only this one was winking and had a nauseating grin on his face. Pinned to it was a Silver Poppy flower.
Rhett - Stop with the darling nonsense, it's unbecoming. Desh wasn't very forthcoming with his exact inventory, just head over to the Eternal Fire, that's where the trail picks up.
To live is to hope, and while we breathe, we hope and live.
"I have been sent to eliminate Horned Lorenzo La Grenouille. I will take the bounty and any information you have." Lilith says emotionless.
Vi - Apollo - Armory - Sokai - Kylar - Gerr - CT -Dmitri
Amaya - Lilith - Lazarus - Yoko the Fox - Eli
Assume Nothing."
Rhett - I'm sure you have. . . He was last seen roaming the Rue St. Catherine, deep within his cups, but wounding several who have approached him for apprehension. He is a competent sword fighter and duelist, just be careful. Bounty is alive or dead, so don't take unnecessary chances.

Makeda - "You're having problems with some fenettes?"
Juris - It would seem that there are some demonettes doing some rather horrible things to travelers. I would like to offer my assistance as an arbiter to bring them to justice.
Come on and check it out. You know you want to.
Makeda - "Bit on the young side, aren't we?"
Juris gave a short bow out of respect and then offered his hand in friendship.
Come on and check it out. You know you want to.
Makeda - "I'm sure you did just fine. Makeda Lupin."
Juris - You seem like you're a member of the Warriors' Brotherhood, would that be correct?
Come on and check it out. You know you want to.
Juris thought for a moment about what he had said and then laughed.
Come on and check it out. You know you want to.

Makeda - "Think you'll be able to keep it in your pants, kid?"
Juris left the fort heading for the location on the map he and Makeda were suppose to go.
Come on and check it out. You know you want to.
Go ahead and run, you'll only die tired.
Those who might never meet are pooled together
