Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Eh, touchy!" she said, raising an eyebrow "Anything I can do to help? I'm rather bored of sitting in a cheap motel room. I'm pretty good at sniffing out troublemakers."

She couldn't help boasting a little, just a little.

And so, Decruda would step up to the exact spot on the wall and mark it with a few quick scrapes of his glass dagger. The dagger he had now of course, was crudely made, little more than a piece of jagged glass with a smooth handle, having lost his other one in an encounter while obtaining his eighth sample. He would then walk directly south and then mark the wall there as well, and of course, east and west as well.

Oh, and the improved invisibilty spell? It would end right about now. Decruda was dressed as a traveller. Relatively simple clothes built for the road, with a leather vest with many pockets as well as a belt with the same set-up. His back however housed a backpack at the moment, and around his shoulders was a cloak with a hood. It was nothing special, mostly an earthen coloured cloth, but it served its simple purpose of keeping the rain off one's head and a body warm at night. It wasnt like he was going to stick out like a sore thumb by wearing some mysterious cloak with the hood up all the time in a highly populated area, thats just dumb. Oh, and as for his face? It wasnt even his. And thats why he was in the city. He looked just like a nobody, and as a nobody he was here.

He put the pack down on the table as he sat down and retrieved a tome. In fact, it would be the same book he was reading when he had gotten Gavin's message back at the lair.

Lilith, still travelling in gaseous form, reached Lament in half the time it'd normally take walking. She was still tired, though. Too bad the city was on lockdown and she probably not be admitted entrance. Not knowing that, however, the priestess approached the North Gate with confidence, coming out of her gasous state and becoming solid again, appearing as if she had walked out of a small patch of fog.

"Hey,"she yelled calmly, "I was sent here by R.I. to help out, I'm an investigator, so why don't you let me help you?"

May have been stretching the truth just a bit, but it was for a goood cause.

He kept walking but spoke as he walked off.

RI is rebuilding sections of the city. If you're with them, that's where you should find them. We're thankful for your offer, but this is a military issue only.

Well, that was it. He'd been nice. He'd been polite. He'd been as tolerant as he could be of her, but now she was disobeying an order from a military officer in a lockdown zone. He turned around, his automatic weapon aimed at her. She might notice the safety was off.

You ask too many questions! I'm doing my job Miss. And I suggest you listen to what I have to say and get moving to the RI area before I have to do something I'm going to regret. I don't know who the HELL you think you are, but you're in LAMENT now. Here, you obey our laws and orders or you get dealt with. Now, do I make myself perfectly clear?

His finger was ready to pull the trigger if she made the wrong choice. He REALLY didn't want to shoot her, but if she continued to interfere with military activities he'd have no option. He had his orders...

Go somewhere else? Lilith didn't really have that option, seeing as how this was the only place standing between here and the Northernlands. She certainly wasn't going to traverse through the entire mountain range just to get around the city. That, and she had her orders. There was more than one way to enter a city. If not from below, then she'd enter from above.

"I see. Very well then," Lilith said, sounding disappointed. She turned around and walked away, but as soon as she was out of sight from the guards, she would resume her gaseous state - the spell hadn't expired yet, she simply came out of it - and floated up into the air, moving toward the city. She would appear as nothing more than a wisp of grey mist, easily mistakable for a puff of smoke.
