Xepher would nod. She’d reach into her pack and pull out a slightly damp parchment and present it to Sylvia. “This is the official (Xepher proceeds to air quote) letter granting permission to execute Ragnarok.” She’d turn to the Pharaoh “As I’m sure you’re aware that the reason we’re all being called to this godforsaken land on the far edge of the wilderness is because we have intel that a mass of undead the size of several armies in somewhere out there in an unknown location and its moving.” She’d pause to take a breath. “The reason you witnessed the explosion earlier is because there was a small hoard approaching Daemonheim. It had seemingly gone unnoticed by hiding behind the natural rocky outcroppings surrounding us. I shouldn’t have to say what this would have meant for us if they made it through the pass.”

“Now naturally undead rarely amass in large numbers outside of small hunting hoards and either walk until they collapse from lack of sustenance or their magic wears off. The only time they’re viewed in these numbers is when there is something compelling them to group together. This could be many different things of which we have no certain leads on. But the fact that they were acting intelligently by coming at us strategically provides some clue that there is almost for certain something is in charge of these.” She’d turn to Sylvia. “I need to know if there has been any particularly dark magic being cast nearby lately? The report I received said Mimring was to be apart of this excursion?”

Xepher’s ears with perk with interest as she leaned forward and took the book from Sylvia. She licked her finger and proceeded to flip through the pages. “Hmm..” She paused for a moment. “Let’s have a deeper look here.” Her eyes began to glow with traces of arcane magic. “Ancient text, spells and such yes, this seems almost as if it’s bordering Lost Magic rather than just some old knowledge.” She’d turn to the Pharaoh. “Do you know how your people came into possession of this book? From my guess it was probably brought back from the Land of the Dead itself.” She’d close it and return it to Dayan.

Xepher would start to respond. “Understo-” She gave Sylvia a sly grin. “Are you just trying to keep your boy toy where you can see him? I’m sure he’d love to study the anatomy and tactics on better taking down the undead which are bound to be within that book.” She’d sit back up. “Speaking of Director” she’d squint “Joooonathan, shouldn’t he be here right about now?”

Xepher would nod understandingly then give give Sylvia a thumbs up and a wink. “Ahem. Back to our dire situation at hand. The umm experiment that Mimring performed on Lord Rony has most likely set off the equivalent of an undead magic stink bomb. The crater I made earlier seems like it may have opened up part of the cave system underneath the wilderness and a few Revenant may have made their way to the surface. We need to get those with the knowledge or priests to clear it out before more undead catch whiff of it and come knocking on our doorstep. The Aegis is to be sending some support correct? If that’s so they’d be a big help.”

Xepher would hurry to the window and shout towards the docks. “I’ll be sending a group 7 werewolf to research- Study the thing! Don’t let your servants feint on them!”

Xepher would nod “Off to go cure a hangover?” She’d smile. “Be careful I might just pop in later to make sure the kids are behaving themselves. As for my room don’t worry I’ll get by.” She’d go back to studying the horizon.
