un: a civil serpent | video
( Emilia di Carlo's hair has seen better days.
It looks suspiciously nest-like, and one of her sleeves singed and torn. The further she and Wrath walk back into the village, the more she feels it: the mark of hollowed things. The withered trees and the dying river beds. ... To say they have missed out on recent developments is an understatement.
But they do not come without news of their own. )
We were able to go very deep into the volcano and discovered something in the process.
( For this rare moment, Wrath appears to be somewhat disheveled as well. His hair is out of place. There's light scratch marks upon his cheek. His suit is singed. His sleeve on the right sight has been entirely burned away, revealing a muscular arm. In his pocket, he carries with him a piece of what they found though he has little interest in mentioning that out loud just yet. He wants to understand what it is first, and so he glances at Emilia with a grim nod and then supplies further: )
At the center of the volcano, an apparent naturally made mirror is being used as a cork to hold back a mounting level of lava, a potent flow of magic, and an unimaginable number of spirits. The pressure appears to be mounting.
( ooc: vi and i had a hiatus in april, and this help explains the absence of emilia and wrath during that time. EDITED the following day when i realized i missed a detail about the volcano. it was naturally made from a large pool of dark water. )

I will. Difficult without knowing his weaknesses.
( He has never attempted to fight one of the Undead Warlords one-on-one, but the temptation is there nonetheless. The Huntress is not an option, but the Beastmaster? Wrath would find it utterly satisfying to bring the entire volcano down on top of him. )
I will use this time before the eruption to better understand his motivation and use it against him if possible.

Winnie had always been an advocate for pinning them against each other. If Wrath had been around back then, they'd probably have made it further in that argument.
It'd be easy to assume his motivation is gaining power, but from what he's overheard, it's probably more complicated than that. ]
That's not a bad idea. [ He almost mentions how he's heading into the House of Ravens, but he's not sure how much he wants to spread that around the network. ] ...I'll let you know if I run across anything useful.
