Tomb of Eternal Night

Palace of Night- Medical Wing

The Healers walked among the scared and wounded of the remains of the Black Blade Clan. Nadal Despval walked among the remains of his clan and openly cried, in relief or sadness Jacob did not know. What was important is that his Clan was alive, severely hurt and barely clinging to life, but alive. "Thank you, my king, I can never repay you for saving them.' Jacob nodded his head at Nadal, the Drow had been told everything and his hate of his former comrades grew boundless. 'My wife was among those you recovered, you will have my loyalty until the day I die. The only boon I ask is that I will be able to see them when I can."

Jacob looked at him confused before understanding dawned within him and sadness came with it, "Nadel, part of me might be a monster, but I am not evil. Your people are here because the best healers are here. As soon as they are capable, they are free to go where they will. You can see them whenever you want duties permitting, I would never keep you from your family though. If they wish to stay and join the Empire of Night as citizens, they are more then welcome too. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go get cleaned up and eat some food, it has been a long day." Jacob turned and walked away, a pair of the Heart Guard falling into step behind him.

Eiloma joined him as he walked toward the Mess Hall, the kitchens there always had food ready and he was starving. Jacob quickly pulled up his status while ignoring all the Alerts from the Dungeons, he would check on them later after dinner.

Alert...

De-Buff Unwashed: Charisma is Halved, Goods and Services costs increase (+10%)(Duration until you clean yourself, Effects can increase with time)

De-Buff Malnourished: Health regeneration is halved (Duration until you eat, Effects can increase with time)

Alert...

Jacob snorted in disgust as he dismissed his status page and looked at his Seneschal, "How can I help you Eiloma?"

Her nose crinkled a bit but then she smiled, "We finished completing the survey of all the slaves you liberated from the last two fortresses. I already sent you the information, they include those specific people you were looking for with the skills you needed. They were made aware that you will want them for another project if they decided to stay and all of them appeared on board."

Jacob nodded and thanked her as he entered the mess hall, "Are you going to eat with me?' Jacob asked her and she smiled coyly and nodded. 'Thank you, it has been...a very long day. You always help make the burdens less Eiloma, I hope you know that." Jacob told her causing her to blush and dart in a kiss him on the cheek real quick.

"Thank you, Jacob," Eiloma said causing him to smile and wink at her. Jacob relaxed as he read through all the popups from the day, It would take time to read them, the loot list from the dungeons, and the report Eiloma had forwarded to him. A King's job was never done though Jacob mused as he lay back in the suds of the huge bath.

Jacob sighed in relief but then heard the door behind him open and shut quickly as Darren and Tarren entered, "Gentlemen, usually it is the females that come to my bath. I am sorry but I don't swing your way." Jacob said causing them both to chuckle.

"Thanks, but no thanks. We came by to get the story on how exactly the Guild got the boost to damage against Demons today...so, story time buddy.' Tarren replied as Darren poured a drink for both of them. Jacob smiled as he began his story but left out anything to do with consuming the blood of Lilith or the Mantle. 'So you did two Dungeon dives back to back, encountered another Goddes, and gained the loyalty of a badass General with an Elite unit attached. Not to bad for a day's work..." Tarren replied once Jacob was done recounting the events of the day."

"Ahh did you see the loot, any DPS Warrior type is going to be doing multiple dives in that Dungeon to get the whole Warden set. Not to mention paired swords for the Demon Knight class which is almost as rare as Legendary classes.' Darren states as he reviewed the loot. 'The whip and dagger though..."

Jacob snorted as he emerged from the bath much to the delight of his two companions who screamed in pain and horror as a new pale moon showed itself for the first time in the Underdark, "Shut up you two. Those two items are going into the collection of items that are getting thrown in a hole and the hole is going to be thrown away.' Jacob replied as he laughed, 'Anyway this is my bedroom, you guys knew I was taking a bath when you stumbled in here to find out why we got a Buff against Demons, now you know. Now get out of here, I am tired and got a lot of stuff to do tomorrow." As his two guildmates left Jacob brought up the last two pieces of information he wanted to read before going to sleep, Eiloma Report and the military page of the Kingdom tab.
