Character:
Subject 67, Vaudeville, Damocles Rex
Location:
Valiance Keep
Walking through the doorway, Damocles closed it behind him and returned his watch to his pocket. He turned to the others who had paused a few short feet away. Chilled frozen air, the sort which leeched warmth from all it touched sent snow tumbling about them. Large stone wall rose around them, they having exited near the walls of the keep, voices and sounds coming from around the corner as testament to the population nearby.
"There," Damocles informed them. "We are two days in the future. The ship carrying the three is due to dock in a few hours. We," he added, fetching a box from within his pocket, "have that long to prepare."

Watching the iceberg laden sea about them, Varyn slowly nodded to himself. Pushing away from the railing, Varyn approached the door leading into the hold, the black foreboding shadow of Mordecai trailing after him at all times.

Gurka didn't answer immediately, sitting on the ground and hugging her knees. "This is all my fault..." she murmured back to the elf, sighing again. "It's all my fault."
Dag'rema watched silently, waiting to catch her breath after the fight.
Character: Malice
Location: Valiance Keep
"Where are we planning to set up the time lock?" Malice asked, looking at the dock. "If it as effective as they one you used on me, we could just set it up on the docks and kill them as they disembark."
Character: Snowmane
Location: Open Sea
Snowmane was fast asleep in the hold, surrounded by crates and with a half empty bottle of rum in her hand.

Vashadya looked questioningly at Gurka, "what is?" the priestess asked.

"Nightbane," Gurka answered, shaking her head. "That stupid quest was my idea. I wanted to get my second name, and they gave it to me, but I didn't earn it. Maybe if I had let her kill her... Maybe if I hadn't come at all, this wouldn't have happened..." she murmured, rubbing her forehead. "I don't know. She was my best friend, and I did this to her."

"It will be around the whole town," Damocles replied as eh stuffed a hand into a pocket. "No one must know anything is wrong until I am done. Entrap solely the dock, and there will be those wondering why those near it are unmoving. Take the town, and probability favours allowing more time to complete the capture."

Varyn rapped his knuckles against the door. "Miss Snowmane!" he called.

"I didn't realize that's how time locks worked," Malice answered. "Whatever, do whatever you need. Just call me when you need killing to happen."
Character: Snowmane
Location: Open Sea
Snowmane blinked awake and looked at the door. Getting to her feet, she straightened her robe and took a swig of rum before answering the door. "Hmm?" she asked.

"As I will," Damocles replied, producing a cluster of citrine gems and parceling them out to Vaudeville and 67.

"Miss Snowmane?" Varyn called once more. "It is time we depart."

Malice shrugged and walked over to the shore, watching for the boat to arrive.

Location: Open Sea
"Oh, uh," Snowmane answered, grabbing her rum and stepping out the door. "Is it time to disembark already? I must have overslept."

Varyn took a step back. "Er..." He directed her attention tot he Baron standing near the edge of the ship, the undead horse eying Snowmane with disdain. In the horizon could be seen the thin line of land. "...in a manner of speaking."

"Had the Dag'rema of our time been allowed to grow stronger countless innocent lives would have been lost," Vashadya reminded Gurka, kneeling beside the orc, "what happened to Nightbane was not your fault... Some things are simply not meant to be."

"Huh..." Snowmane murmured, looking at the horse. "Well that's one way of disembarking. As long as you don't fall in the water. Wouldn't last long in this water..." she added, taking another swig of her bottle.
Character: Gurka
Location: Feralas
"You don't understand," Gurka answered, staring at the ground. "If I had been less useless... if I was the Witchkiller they said I was it could have been different. And then with Ga'Crane, and when we killed Dag'rema... she felt like I betrayed her, and I didn't even notice. If I wasn't so stupid, maybe I would have seen it. She wouldn't be this way if it weren't for my own foolishness."

"You were not useless," Vashadya stated, "and you cannot help what happened with Ga'Crane, those kinds of feelings are not easily silenced."

"Don't tell me that!" Gurka snapped. "Everyone talks about how 'I killed Dag'rema' and how 'We couldn't have done it without you' as if it'd make me feel better..." she went on. "I wasn't a 'Witchkiller.' I didn't earn that name. I killed Dag'rema, but only after Ga'Crane and Flamehowl and the others captured and held her down so I could deliver the killing blow and feel important. And even then, I hesitated! I was barely able to make myself do it!" she finished, shaking her head. "I was too young, too naive, and too foolish, and not only did it get me hurt, but Ga'Crane turned into a monster and Nightbane came back from the grave because she hated me so much."

"Had we each fought Dag'rema alone, I doubt any one of us could have succeeded; our strength came from being together," Vashadya told Gurka, "yet we all failed Nightbane, we should have been there to save her, but now you and I, and the others alike, have a chance to make amends."

"That doesn't make me feel any better..." Gurka mumbled in reply, shaking her head. "I wish I could take Nightbane's place..."

"Oh no!" Varyn quickly assured her, waving his arms before his chest and shaking his head in the desperate negative. "Nonono. We'll be disembarking the same way Mordecai embarked. The distance to the shore is far shorter than that which he traveled to arrive, so promises minimal risk.
"As well," Varyn added in a far more sober tone, "we do not know the extent of your pursuers knowledge of our activities. That they found Mordecai at Booty Bay implies some significant intelligence. That we have not been attacked may lay in testament to the ship's mobility. Therefore, they may well be awaiting us at the port itself."

Damocles pulled free his pocke@#$%ch once more and checked the time. The discordant ticking from Malice's presence he ignored, easily calculating the difference it provoked in order to call the proper hour. "Nearly time," he said aloud.
