vivalaWho: Open to all Corsair characters
What: Warning about Gaurus the Bleeder, and creating a holy artifact
Where: A workspace in The Vault
When: Shortly before the Vindess Liberation
A. Network Message [Audio]
As I said in my last message, I have information for those of you going into battle at Vindess. I've noticed a pattern ever since I took the title of Hades- a large number of souls arriving in the Underworld speak about an individual from the Empire murdering them. He is called Gaurus the Bleeder, and he has a reputation as one of the most feared torturers. These people were tortured and killed by him, and their souls are so traumatized that they can't remember the exact details of what led up to their deaths. All I've been able to add up from their accounts is that he is just as brutal and dangerous as his reputation suggests, and he enjoys maiming others.
There's a very real risk you'll face him in Vindess.
I have a request if you can find the location where he normally keeps his victims. Not every soul expected to arrive after falling victim to him has appeared in the Underworld. I believe his home is haunted by a large number of ghosts.
I want to create a holy artifact that will help guide those souls to the afterlife. I am gathering materials now- any help is appreciated. I'll list what I'm still trying to find in writing.
Anyway, once it is complete, I ask that you bring the holy artifact with you to Vindess, and if you can either sneak into his torture chamber or defeat him, leave the artifact there for the spirits.
Materials - only need a small amount of these
black wool- preferably from a ram
snakeskin
crow feather- this one is the most important
B. Putting together the Artifact [Action]
Matt borrowed a table in one of the many rooms of The Vault where Corsairs will regularly create art or tinker with small inventions. The Vault was able to provide the majority of what he needed, and he has started to pour his power into the materials gathered so far. Puffs of a black fog billow from the table surface and sink and fade into the floor below, almost looking like a dark version of a chemistry experiment in progress.
Matt stands over the table, eyes closed tight as he concentrates. When he hears footsteps nearby he greets the person approaching. "Hello." He says, but stays as he is without turning his head, his arms outstretched just above the dark fog.

Teleporting to the Vault always feels a little fraught from the Elysium side, but at least finding a crow wasn't hard. It feels more so when you're carrying strange items on your person, items that might be remarked upon...
Well. If you weren't a decently respected shipping company. Seeing such people with strange packages, for the edification and enjoyment of the various nobles, is not unusual. And bluntly, finding a crow feather was brutally simple. There were crows everywhere. Full of crows, full of crows, full of crows--
Still, she hopes that Matt will be there at the gate.
