*He grins*
I remember that. Weren't all the high-ups of your house assassinated by polymorphing them to puppies around the city Umber Hulks?
*Shrugs*
I left six years ago. The Matron made a stupid little mistake and got killed- after that, the house was weak and the others brought us down. The city is the same as ever, as far as I know. Why, are you homesick?

*He laughs, remembering it all to well.*
That is how it happened. For the mistakes they made, they were lucky to have a fate that gentle.
*He laughs again, though without mirth this time.*
Not at all. I was just curious about...the city.
*Something about his speech says that wasn't what he was going to say.*

Oh yes. Demon Web Pits at the very least.
I see. Well as far as I know it survives.
*He looks at him rather curiously, but in a detached way, because though he is curious what the Drow left behind in Dar'Forek, he doesn't care much about the others' feelings*
How long ago did you leave, then? Couldn't have been more than fifteen, thirty years?

Couldn't have been more than fifteen, thirty years? About twenty years now. Might be a bit less. *Bing interjects here.* A bit less? You joined 17 years ago next month. *The drow rolls his eyes.* And you would know this how? *Bing laughs.* Knowing is my job, isn't it? *He turns to Pher'zl, his feet dangling above the floor.* A shadowmage, you said? What exactly does that entail?

That means I can do tricks with shadows, wael. What did you think it meant?

*The halfling eyes him strangely.*
There are shadows, and then there are shadows.
*He looks at the drow, who all look like they have heard this before, before the halfling whispers to him.*
Advar dag pendrellis.

*His eyes shoot across the faces, eventually resting upon the Halfling's again*
.. what?

*The halfling sighed and shruged.*
Nevermind.
*One of the drow, Griz'zal rolls his eyes.*
Bing here is convinced we are really part of some even larger, interplanar organization known as the shadow alliance. Says that phrase - agar dar pendis
*the misprounciation is obviously diliberate*
is the secret code they use to identify each other. Load of rothe dung, if you ask me.

Shadow Alliance?
*He frowns*
Never heard of it. What is it supposed to be?

*Griz'zal rolls his eyes when Bing starts talking, intently.*
Why, it is the largest theives guild in existance, composed of hundreds of thousands other, lesser guilds on every plane of reality. It has its claws in every government, and its agents are everywhere. The leader consorts with gods and goddesses and fiendish lords, all in the goal to obtain godhood himself and rule the multiverse, twisting it all in his dark image.

Sounds more than highly unlikely, if you ask me.
*He runs his hand through his hair*
So, how exactly are we connected to it?

*Bing leans closer, as if imparting a great secret.*
Barath'Daubre is on the upper council, working directly with the leader of the Alliance They have big plans for Eluria. Some peole tried to leave the Alliance. He tracked them here. That's the reason the Guild came here in the first place.

*He blinks*
I don't even know who this Barath'Daubre is.
I see. Big plans? Heard that before, the Houses were full of them. Usually became someone or other's untimely demise though. What kind of plans?
People left the Alliance? Who, why? If it's such a great club...
*His tone makes it clear that he's not taking this too seriously, though he is slightly curious*

Oh, it led to the leader's demise once or twice, and his foes demise even more than that, so the stories say. Some say he had a hand in the death of Orcus, but I don't give that credit. If he had killed Orcus, he woulda stayed dead, ya know what I mean? They left the Alliance because they couldn't stomach it. It isn't for anyone, after all.

Oh, okay. I thought that female did.
*Chuckles*
I see. That certainly sounds like an interesting figure. Who is he?
Just like home then. Who were those idiots? And why not let them rot? Why would such a powerful organisation worry about a few run-away-members?
*These are the sort of questions that are obviously meant to catch Bing at a loss*
