"So this is to be our base. It will take us some time to get there in force but I think with a few prayers we can get it up to our standards." The clocked figure said after being shown the layout of the mine and it's location.

She had traveled from the costal city of Trizq and had at long last arived where her god had sent her. After taking a few hours to stake out the city she then went to meet her contact Embrda. He would be the one dealing with arranging the meetings like this from know on as the underworld contact. He was making a nice little side business doing it and business was already starting to pick up quite nicely.

The woman had come to the city not only to meet her knew landlords but because she wished to take their measure. To see what kind of people they were when they had nothing to hide. That was always when people were the most honest with themselves in her opinion after all and she really did not want to be caught unaware if they were planning anything against her or her people. She had a duity as the head prestess after alll and was not alowed to fail because she got complacent or lazy.

"It will need some work but we have undead cutting out the rooms as we speak, when we do go back and give them more orders we are going to need to take enought supplies for the place to endure. People to defend it and I would personally like to have an enchanter go over the entire place from top to bottom." Embrda said to the woman after meeting her and bringing her to the cellar.

He would need to remember that she was a cultist and a killer for hire. If she was paid for their deaths before a magical contract could be put in place then they would never again awaken from their slumber. That was how deadly it was to cross her on any given day.

"I have an enchanter in my group who can see to all the needs if you have someone to aid him. It does take a lot of work to get done and consumes plenty of time." She decided to trust him with the information about one of her people as a show of good faith.

"We have a wizard who dabbles in necromancy and is willing to aid your enchanter if they are willing to share some of the secrets of the trade. Would this be acceptable on your side?" Embrda asked while volunteering Teamasa's aid. She would not be all that happy about him doing it but would with any luck forgive him for the opertunity to learn more about enchanting.

He knew full well that she was always looking for any chance she could get to learn something more. It was at this point that a thought came to him.

"You would not happen to know any vampires would you?" Embrda had remembered his friends grand wish, to become a vampire!

"I have a few of their numbers in my group but they are not on this contenint and wont be for some time yet. Why, do you need a vampire for some reason?" She said while looking at him. If she could provide a vampire for whatever reason he needed one for then they may be able to strengthen the ties between the two of them. She did not know why but her god had wished for his followers to come and meet this little cabal.

"We may be willing to do business at a future time if you can provide a vampire for one of our number. She has her own plans and at this time all I can tell you is that no harm will come to them." Embrda said while trying to be vague.

"We shall see what happens, I will request one to head over the water when they awaken. I am ready to sign the contract and make this offical if you are." She decided that this was an ok group to be involved with if they were not going to be to demanding and she did have orders from her god to get things done.

"Here is is." Embrda stated while producing the contract which she then signed and watched as it crumbled into ashes.

After everything was settled and signed the went up stares to have a drink with the rest of the gang. It was improtant that they start discussing what would need to be done and who all would be involved with this project before anyone got suprised.

It took them a little while to go over the assassin members who would come to the city in the next few weeks. It was decided that when they went to the mine it would be all together both to make sure that no one got lost and for safety. This way there could be no double cross and it would prevent anyone from stabing them in the back. Before that happened they would need to gather supplies.

Smithy could provide all the potions that would be needed and help with the poisons but at the end of the day what was most important was the fact that this place would also become a dungeon. One that people were going to come to for treasure and to fight the monsters that would be drawn to it. That would be breed to the darkness and inky blackness of the smoke.

"We can fill braisers with green wood and add to the smoke that permeats the place. it will help to make it more dangerious that is for sure. Few want to tangle with a master assassin and fewer still on their home turfe where you can barly see two feet infront of your face." The woman dicided. For those that looked at her face it was both hard to make out and remember any details of what she looked like.

The assassins had a tendancy of gathering the death they causes and taking it with them. If they put down roots in the dungeon then their mear presence would make the place very dangerious indeed.

It took them some time to get to the real meat of the matter, the fact that the place would be shared with others and not just for the assassins personal use. While not the most ideal of news it was still workable and she assured them that the members of her group could play nice and not go on random killing sprees.

After all defending her new home would be much easier with people to take the attention away from the assassins lurking in every shadow.

"That went well and we may even be able to turn Tea into a vampire like she wants. So far so good in my opinion but what does everyone else say." Sasha said after they had retired for the night. They were discussing what all would happen next and no one had the full picture.

"How long do you think it will be before someone from your order does something stupid and tries to kill you my friend." Smithy asked his leader.

"Hopefully long enought for us to get properly entrenched. On that news we may have some problems with the nobility to work through. It seems that they do not like us making so many big moves in such a short time frame. It is making them nervious and even if they can not block us like normally, they can still be a pain in the ass that is for sure." Sasha said, more and more of the big picture was being revealed to them as time caught up to what they had done.

It was not always easy to get thing going and having the nobility working against them would only make things worse that was for sure.

"We need to try and get ourselves in with a noble house. Not as a vassal or servants but as a partner on equal footing. I am thinking one of the younger houses would be best." Tess said with his three pups sitting in his lap.

"This is not a decission to make lightly, we need them to be new, weak and falling. Something that will make them accept our terms and benifit from them while thanking us for our help." Drassisa said while looking at this new problem that had come up. If it were not that things were moving far to fast for anyones liking then they would have more time to look around and cut the best deal.

As it was this would be the fastest way to move forwards and keep their heads above water. Well at least now they had an entire assassins guild to offer the serveces of. That had to count for something among the nobility.
