Takuma looked around the garden, staying ready in case more ghouls came. "So, where do you think we should start looking?"

The mercenary woman motioned to the survivors, "Come. Follow me. I know a place, abandoned for many years, I call it my home avay from home. Ve should be somevhat safe zere. Keep moving, my shade vill let find ze lich and let him know of ze plan. Ze first zing ve will do, is come up vith a plan."

Her shadow flitted through the halls, backtracking in an attempt to find the lich. When she did find him, her shade would whisper at Karthus, "Lich. You have fallen behind. Ve are moving avay from ze manor and moving to a more secure location." The shade crept along the floor over to the lich, "Simply take control of zis shade, and you vill know ze location ve are going to. Time is of ze essence."

Takuma walked up beside the mercenary. "What about Darkeye? If he dies then coming here in the first place is just time wasted. We should find a way to stop the ghouls from attacking."

The mercenary looked at Takuma with an incredibly condescending stare. "Darkeye. You are concerned about Darkeye, yes? Ze man who can probably bench press half of us vith one arm? One of ze most feared names? Zat Darkeye? He vill be fine. Move."

The mercenary took off in a run.

Her shade gave a slight bow to Karthus, "Consume zis shade once you are ready to depart, Herr Lich."

Cruciatus shrugs and follows the woman.

Takuma didn't really care about the condescending look, he wanted to ensure that he was going to be paid, though Darkeye probably could handle himself, he would prefer to be more safe than sorry. Still, he followed the mercenary.

Lizzie followed near the mercenary, as close as her right arm was. She kept looking around, feeling more and more anxious without the family sword. She never realized how dark and misty the isles were.
