I spoke with our old friend the Huntress earlier. She confirmed a few suspicions. Her and her husband the Beastmaster were granted their powers by the White Wanderer. From him, she says, he used no artefact. She took it willingly, she says, but he didn't explain the full consequence. She was offered a shield, a way to defend herself. He asked for nothing in return, only to spread his message. She couldn't say exactly what that meant, that he was here. That his creatures are. She believed his daughter was important in some way, to this.

She believes they have all been used. That it all began with Matthias, and must end with him. She wants him dead, I am certain.

Incidentally, it seems it isn't her choice to ride unclothed. She says clothes burn when they touch her. A somewhat crass touch, I think.

I will be around the auction if anyone desires to find me.

Information gathering, Red - not revenge.

[damnable]

Well, yeah, she is unlikely to be there so the information will serve us later, but that is the ultimate goal, right? She needs to be stopped.

[reparo]

I don't disagree with this, she does. But if we head out there with revenge on the mind, we will be reckless. And trust me, I know this is rich coming from me, after I dragged you - both of you - into the forest to find her heart.

[damnable]

If you know how to channel your emotions well, you don't have to be reckless about it. It's like having your cake and eating it too. Granted, I'm not so great at channeling but I am real great at compartmentalizing, which works the same. Not ruled by my feelings. No recklessness will be part of this, but fuck that shithead, lets take her down.

Well.

That makes one of us. I know I'm terrible at channeling my emorions.

[damnable]

I think it takes practice. So information gathering then. No feelings allowed.

[reparo]

Correct. Purely intellectual endeavour. No feelings.

If a group gathers willing to go find Kathul, we would need a map.

[damnable]

The sailors that told me where it's located told me I could look at a map in the House of Commerce. Don't know that we can just take 'em, but even if we could copy it down or some shit...

[reparo]

I can duplicate a map, that shouldn't be hard.

[reparo]

[ A little pause, while the dots get connected. ]

[reparo]

Are we going to break into the House of Commerce?

[damnable]

Much as I like how immediately you jump to breaking and entering... I don't think we have to? The sailor said I could look at the map on display there, and there's that party being held there.

[reparo]

Wait, the party Wrathion's at? Wrathion, can you look a the map?

[reparo]

I'm not actually sad there's no need to break in, just for the record.

[damnable]

Noted. Still we'll find another opportunity for some breaking and entering asap. For a treat.
