Malus:

The Sewers were not exactly the lap of luxury, yet it was the only place in Vilnius that vampires had a stronghold, of sorts. In the dank, faintly lit cistern, there were oaken tables, red and gold-dyed banners with the heraldry of Clan Gern, the Vampiric Venus Flower, being prominently displayed throughout the enclosed circular area of the Gern base. The plipping of disgusting wastewater fell onto the light gray brick basins of the base, which slanted up circularly allowing pools of wastewater to pile up.

Cages lined the light gray walls closest to what the vampires considered a tavern area. Inside the cages were 75 men chained naked to the bars of their cages. Many of whom had become pale from all the blood the vampires had drained. That blood was then filled into oak barrels, enchanted to prevent the blood from coagulating. These barrels filled with blood lined the back shelf of the bar table.

Werewolves occasionally did business here. And it was customary to make sure the relationship between vampire and werewolf was a happy one. Previously, Morta (Lexius’ former lover) did business with the werewolf leader, Lucius. Lucius took his werewolf kin with him for some unknown reason. Leaving the vampire base devoid of werewolves for the moment. However as many as fifty vampires were still in the base.

As Malus, Scarlet and their 5 vergas slaves entered the base. One lean human vampire with curly silver hair, and a gaunt face greeted Malus, mistaking him for a vampire. “Greetings Vyrl. We thought some other miscreants were coming in, but it seems you killed them. It’s been a long time since you came here.” Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

That is good, little one. I do plan to track down what ails you, but now is not the time for that. We are here, little one," Vyras said as he opened a silk flap to an empty room with a single display case and large, heavy incense burners made of brass. Vyras led Annie to it. Even in the glass display case, the ore sample still managed to smell of death.

"Sudovia has always had an Umbrium problem. Even before the occupation. Entire lucrative mining operations have been abandoned due to the presence of Umbrium. Smiths have long desired to figure out a way to smelt and smith the material. There is just one catch: Umbrium kills any mortal that touches it, in a brutal manner. There are four stages of what we call "Umbrium Rot" Stage one is infection: Within hours of being touched, the material inflicts upon the beholder a greenish-black rash. It is extremely itchy, and it is not just any rash. the rash spreads. It is corruption. Whatever it touches, it kills." Vyras began. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Annie:

"This sample is kept so that we may teach about the dangers of the material. We won't be doing anything to get rid of the sample. Any undead can handle Umbrium. Mortals cannot touch it proper. Necromancers discovered a few years ago that if you ensoul a special cloth, you can pick the material up. That's about it".

Vyras noted Annie's nervousness. "Umbrium Rot is not a quick death either. Umbrium Rot frequently begins in the hands and feet, for those are the most likely things to purposely or accidentally touch it. It matters not. Stage 2 Umbrium Rot begins as the corruption leaves the hands and feet, usually within 4 hours. Nothing can cure Umbrium Rot. From there the corruption travels towards the heart, lungs and brain, slowly, killing every organ that it touches along the way. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

"You can always tell Umbrium from its look-alike zirconium by the acrid stench of death that comes from the ore. In a mine tainted with Umbrium, that's a telltale sign." Vyras informed Annie. Unfortunately for the victim, Stage 3 Umbrium Rot only starts gnawing on the heart and brain tissues and lungs. It likes to savor these tissues. During this stage. It is a telltale sign that one may be breathing with great difficulty. Anger outbursts can occur for no reason. Problems with simple math problems may be noticed. two plus two may equal five to the sufferer. Most damningly the afflicted may forget the names and faces of loved ones." Vyras said solemnly.

Annie:

"There's a lot more to Stage 3, that Kunigas can tell you, he's dealt with Umbrium afflicted resistance members At Stage 4, everything starts shutting down. What he told me, is that even after the death of the afflicted, which can take two to four days, their bodies are still dangerous. Umbrium Rot can transfer from one victim to another. He insists that the only way to ensoul a shroud, wrap the body and dissolve it in acid. We can leave now." Vyras said noticing that Annie was absolutely terrified of the ore.
