She stepped away from him cautiously "How do you know that?" she asked looking around warily.

"That big guy told me... He says they weren't going to hurt you." Belthazar explained. "They just needed you to go with them.."

Her hands gripped the pot of her plant about to use the plant to tie up the stranger, but she felt sorry for the guy, he seemed so pathetic. She sighed, "Fine I'll come along"

"Wow, really?" Belthazar asked, surprised. "I honestly didn't think you would." He turned around, walking back to Mortoog. "She'll come." Charisma looked at Belthazar. "Got a date, do ya?" Belthazar's face turned red. "No!" He quickly replied.

Mira walked back to the others with a suspicious expression she turned towards the girl "Thank you for helping me" She then turned towards the large man "Why would you work for someone like the dark lord? He's evil, you don't seem like you'd want to work for someone evil. What do you gain by capturing us? We barely know how to use our weapons."

"The Dark Lord? Absolutely not. He is who we are trying to stop. Please, if you come with me, you will find your friends and everything shall be explained." He turns to Belthazar and Charisma. "You two may want to come along as well. There is something about both of you... Yes, it is important that you come along with us. Will you come?"

Charisma took a step back, as Belthazar replied. "Sure." She raised her eyebrow. "I don't have a damn clue what's going on.. But whatever, if that wuss is going, it can't be bad."

Mira nodded "Ok as long as this isn't a trap." she said suspiciously. She remembered how the group was always so often in trouble due to their terrible luck.

"Then let us go."

Mortoog led the three back to the manhole Leonard went through.

"This is the entrance to our lair," he said.

Charisma looked down. "That other guy, Leonard, went down there.. I almost followed him, but I figured I'd better find Belthazar first." She stated.

"It was probably a more comfortable for you to not follow him. You would have most likely been overrun by other members of the organization and held inside the lair."

Mortoog motioned for them to head down as he picked up the manhole cover with a single hand.

Mira looked at the man doubtfully even after what he said but she put her plant in the crook of her arm and climbed down into the lair. She desperately hoped her friends would be safe, she wondered if the man that had helped them before knew of this place as well. That time he helped them was so convenient. "Where is he now?" she thought to herself, she put aside the thought then continued climbing until she reached the bottom.

Belthazar and Charisma both went down.

Mortoog went down and replaced the manhole cover. Torches lined the round walls and the floor was dry and fairly clean for a sewage tunnel. Mortoog led the group down the tunnel for a while, then took a left turn. This corridor was square, like an actual hallway. He led them up to a pair of ornate doors, then pushed them open. Before them was a well-lit, large room with a high ceiling. Pillars were lined up at two sides of the room, and the floor tiles shined, as if they were freshly polished. Men dressed like Mortoog and Leonard lined the room with their hoods up. One stood in between each pair of pillars. At the far side of the room there was a small throne, on which sat an elderly man wearing the usual maroon gown, but had a tall, decorative hat. On either side of the throne stood a man holding a spear. In the center of the room there were five figures lying down.

Lift - The tunnel finally ended, and after a few seconds, a whirring sound could be heard. The section of floor Lift was standing on started to rise. Lift was lifted into this same room.

OOC: It was bound to happen some time.

Charisma was intrigued. "So, where are we?" She asked.

Belthazar looked only at the old man. "Who is he?" He questioned.
