'You let her get away! You could not capture a feeble old woman!!' the Viceroy walks over to the assassin. 'Amanda Lightpoint was to be in my custody by now! Her good for nothing son would have given anything to secure her release!' the Viceroy's face still bares the scar of Master Berk's lightning blast. His teeth exposed through his cheek and his eye milky white. 'Now off with you and do not return again without some good news.' the Viceroy tosses the assassin's left hand into the fireplace and turns to his advisors. 'Tell the council that they will meet here I will not travel to their forum we must maintain the upper hand Royce must be mine.' the Viceroy sneered in the mirror relishing his new look just a little. 'Send the Onyx Force after that vampire bitch's sister and that self righteous ass of a Queensguard! Kill the paladin, the gnome and Vhoori's daughter, bring my the Berk woman I enjoyed the last one maybe I will keep this one around a little more. Capture the professor he is valuable for trade.' Later that day a door made of black gemstone swings open with a creak deep in the catacombs below Ravenna and the Onyx Force march out from their long exile.
