Finally, he sights Mechatack, the page from the keep, and decides that his first priority should be to take the pathetically innocent looking lad back to the keep before he got into trouble. "Come, Mechatack. It's time you got back." he said gruffly, helping the lad onto his horse. The four other guards, Marcus, Beethwax, Walhelm and Jord called Wolf, waited patiently. Mechatack spoke through tears. "It tried ta kill me, Korbic! It was Creepy Charlie, like tha stories, an' it tried ta kill me...!" "No." said Korbic. "It was just another weirdo from the Dragon's Inn." With Mechatack sitting in front of him, Korbic started his horse forward, heading back from the keep. Meshtak, meanwhile, started back to the inn. "Come on, you guys." He said to the others. "Let's go inside and see if we can get any information." He walked into the inn. From a nearby rooftop, Hendrix watched. "Mother will not be pleased." said the little motherspawn. (or was it mother's pawn? Sometimes Hendrix wondered...but he lived to serve mother, that was for sure.) Hendrix was small and wiry, his thin, flexible frame and small size (about .6 meters) letting him get to places others could not. It made him the perfect errand boy for Mother. His sharp eyes blinked, watching as Meshtak and his new group of companions talked amongst themselves. Only for a moment. Hendrix had manipulated things on the surface world for Mother for quite a long time; he was often the man behind the scenes, the one that made sure most things went Mother's way. And he had another mission. Hendrix ran quickly, springing from rooftop to rooftop, following Korbic and the guard. And in his hand, he held a small vial... Hendrix the Spawn -- "You can't help that.
