**The oldest and one of the grandest of the estates in Epcrin's Grand Quarter, Corel Manor is a sprawling property that once housed the City Lords. It is not as well kept these days, lacking the servant manpower to constantly maintain it for the endless galas that once made it a beacon of society. However it is stilla beautiful and stately place. Those buildings that once housed a vast number of servants, horses and carriages have since been converted to house a miniature peacekeeper precinct that polices the quarter.**

**A carriage arrived and entered the estate gates. Orin, his guards and the trio of bounty seekers rode up, none of them looking forward to what would come next. The carriage moved up the drive and stopped before the large front doors.**

Kherren pushed out of the wagon and stretched out, cracking his neck as he found himself with more space. He crossed his arms and waited for the others.
**Orin lead them up to the estate, opening the doors. He led them through the foyer into a large sitting room, adorned in various deep blues and green and lit by a massive window that was stained to match. In an antique chair sat a rather comely atarin woman, her hair cut short, dressed in a white sun dress. She was speaking to a tired looking young girl with long black hair in a riding outfit, the pair looked up surprised.**
Orin - Alicia? Thank god you got home safe.
Ameris - You have no idea Orin! She's been letting me about it, and I frankly think you need to have a talk with that school! We may have to remove her!
Alicia - Mom...
Orin - As much as I want to hear about it, these men need to talk to Armand. Is he home?
Ameris - I think so, I heard him moving around up stairs. What is this all about?

Kherren followed, casting and maintaining ferropathy and using his tremorsense to get a better idea of his surroundings. If the young Corel decided to make a run for it, Kherren wanted to know which way he was going to go.
Orin - Agreed.
**They were led upstairs, Kherren sensing alot of metal all around, the spell less than precise used in a home. Orin headed down a hallway and knocked on a closed door.**
Orin - Armand? You in there? I need to see you. Armand From Behind Door - I'm busy dad, I'll talk to you tonight.
Orin - No Armand, it has to be now.
Armand - I'm busy! Later!
Ameris - Oh lord.... Orin - No not later. Get your ass out where now Armand, this is not a now or later situation!
Ameris - Orin, please, don't you two start again....
Armand - ****! Just go away!
Orin - Damnit Armand, you get out here right damned now and bring that totem you stole with you or by the light I will tan your hide!!
**Eerie silence.**

Kherren focused his senses in towards the room, trying to use his sense of the earth to make out what he could of the movement and if anything metal was moving within.

**Before Orin could respond a massive figure burst through it, easily 7' tall and incredibly muscular with the skin and massive neckless head of a shark. He slammed into Orin drove him through the other wall of the hall out of sight. Ameris screamed in shock.**

**Cek came face to face with a fox-man, teeth bared, slashing at him with wicked claws.
Kherren found the shark man atop Orin, pounding on the peacekeeper, who appeared to have encased himself in some sort of force armor and was doing his best to block the hammer blows.**

Kherren ran forward, drawing his grass cutting blade and slamming it into the shark-man's back. He used cow the weak as he slammed the hilt into the man, hoping it would still work despite the bizarre transformation.
Cek - I think I can handle this one Kurt. The vulture's bound to be here somewhere, go and look for him if you can.
Yelgerçek ducked under the swipes and tried to jam his Mage dagger into the fox-man's side while Kurt bashed at him. Yelgerçek also cast Charged Grasp twice while grabbing the dagger with both hands.
**The magic of the blade clashed with the magics altering the sharkman and got the upper hand. The blade bit into his flesh and greatly weakened him. Orin took advantage and use his force magics to launch the figure off him, into a dresser that shattered beneath the force and his weight. The shark man stood there, snarling and staring at them both as Orin rose, his armor now appearing to be titan armor that was extremely form fitting and utilitarian, thicker about the torso and with a round helm and featureless faceplate. He pulled out a peaceekeeper baton.
The fox moved with incredible quickness, pushing off the shields into a backflip across the room onto a bed before the dagger could pierce him. He chuckled.
To the side of the room the vultureman stood, looking quire unsure of what to do.**
