Nestled among the seedy warehouses and shops of Au Shinduago's port district, lies the center of power for the assassin's guild, Xukuth D'Roesor. Disguised as the Qu'mados d'belaern trade house, only those who are invited see the truth. Through magical means, those not invited walk through the doors to see the offices and storefront of an average trading group, specializing in the transportation of goods and finances for shops in the market district, manned by a group of typically seedy looking Drow and Duergar.
Those who bear an explicit invitation from the guild master (or those powerful enough to break through the wards) are transported via a hidden portal to the guild hall below. Roughly half the size of house Druu'giir, the guild hall bears a shrine to almost every known deity (carefully places away from each other for obvious reasons) and nearly every comfort and amenity an intelligent being can ask for. It's storehouses are well stocked with any supplies it's members may need and it's coffers are equally well kept, funded by the legitimate business shown to the public. Connected to the city's sewer system, those with access can reach almost any point in the city if they know the way. Wards are in place to keep intruders and the monsters that roam the pipe-ways, not to mention the smell, out.
A recent trend among house-less drow within the guild is the adoption of the name Orlylyl in place of their true birth name. turning them into a family of sorts and masking their pasts. Whoever they were no longer matters, only that they are of the guild now. This holds true for all members of the guilds ranks. Any biases and allegiances are pushed aside while in the confines of the hall. Only the guild is honored, the only dominant faith...is gold and blood.

Eilov pierced the veil of magic and stepped through the front door, and into a portal. Alarmed for but a moment he gathered himself and looked around his surroundings. These assassins live in the lap of luxury, it seems business has been well for them. Eilov took a seat near a dark shadow and waited for a member to greet, or try to kill, him...

The vibrant mix of beings within the guild halls seemed abuzz with communication, though none of it understandable. even here they spoke in codes andhidden meanings. A grey dwarf pushed in behind the unknown intruder. "Oy watch were yer standin' lad!" he growled before heading to the armory to turn in his weapons. a small group of yuan-ti joined him halfway across the great hall and together they poke, one of them glancing back at Eilov before slipping down the stair to the sewer access.

Quite a casual setting for assassins, perhaps they don't even notice that I am not one of them; unlikely, but worth thinking. Eilov rose from his seat and observed each member of the guild from afar. Finding that each of them were perfect candidates he moved to another seat and cast a spell "Ori'gato l' wiles d' jal tlu 'zil uss". Eilov now understood the myriad of languages being spoken, however the words made no sense; evidently they encoded their speech even in the safety of their guild...

From across the room, a rather voluptuous female called out to him. "You there! Newbie! Get over here, we have a job for you!" with that she turned and headed up the stairs, accompanied by a rather odd two headed snake.

Great, now they think I'm here to work... Eilov rose from his place and moved towards the seductively shaped woman. Either this helps or I have my mark... Eilov walked up the steps and found them to be just as ornate as the rest of the structure...

"Lord Ironclaw needs a new contact within house Druu'gir, you'll be that spy. Since you're so new here, you won't hav e aproblem masking your allegiance and we'll be able to deny any contact with you should you be caught." she strode across th eroom as she spoke, pasuign at a small chest. Opening the box with a hiss from the two headed snake, Mayolin retrieved a silver crest, identical to that worn by members of house druu'gir. "Can you do this for us?" Behind the drow, Negai slipped into place, along with two other guild assassins. "Mayolin, Ironclaw's back, an' he be want'n ta see yeh." "One moment dwarf. Well boy?"

"Of course my Lady, the Lords will shall be done." Eilov closed the gap between the two and slid the crest from her hand, a slight caress on her skin. I'll need another just in case
Retreating Eilov brushed up against another assassin who had entered behind the new assassin guild member. It worked good, not even a mark on that one! Quickly hurrying out Eilov left the concealed guild hall.
Retreating to a dark alley not far from his target Eilov began to conjure the necromantic energy of the spell, aided by his mother cyst. Eilov felt the energy twist and flow as it coursed and flowed deep through the wards of the assassins guild and spiked straight into the mind of that second assassin. Your mine! Eilov could sense the surroundings of the assassin and could here his thoughts. Perfect, a flawless infiltration. I do hope the Master shall find this method able to qualify for my joining.
Content with his necrotic domination Eilov rose from the ground and made his way back to his master, traveling by shadow plane of course...

When the 'newbie' left, Negai moved close to Mayolin. "Think this scheme of Ironclaw's'll work?" The female gave a sly smile, "why not ask him yourself?" on cue, Ironclaw emerged from the shadows, his gaze faceing the direction the infiltrator had gone. "Eeeae dootsa geta ball Mayolin, Oom dootsa eeeae Negai. Gdootsm oona aetkelgoots naggan gdoot koonmg abbbamgag."
"That they are m'lord." Maylin said with a slight nod. "The next step?" "Ba boogmd, ootg ba boooog."
Two more assassins appeared in a flurry of cloth and fell into a kneel, reporting what had happened at the tavern and in the marketplace.

Eilov spent some more time on the plane of shadow recovering his strength and spell list, "It will appear that I have taken good time to the assassins if I wait before returning." Eilov said to a silent nightwalker that he had posted as the guard to his house. Hours past by as he waited and healed.
Returning to the prime was easier this time around, the wards hadn't changed to any real degree from his last trip to the docks. Making his way through the crowd Eilov grabbed hold of the piwafwi the shadowguard had given him and his mind whirred with the lies that he would use this time along with the various defensive spells that he always used and a host of his most lethal spells just in case.
Eilov passed this time unimpeded to the assassins guild base. Locating the lovely female that had given him his assignment Eilov passed by some other members and bumped into one accidentally with a faux trip just enough to touch him and implant another tumor. Recovering himself and apologizing for his clumsiness Eilov revealed the piwafwi and reported, "My lady I have returned with news. I have infiltrated successfully infiltrated House Druu'giir and have become one of the shadowguards blacksmiths! My luck doesn't end there I have also eliminated another shadowguard and obtained his piwafwi as proof." Eilov pulled out a crystal ball and revealed to her the perfect illusions of a shadowguard members corpse being buried and of himself working to forge an enchanted longsword.
