Stormwatch I [Gilded Slumber] || Ley'Ork, Cahyali

Listen close, children, as I tell you the tale of my freedom.

It began in a city bathed in sunset, at the top of a silent spire. Eight adventurers, none of particular social nor moral merit, gathered after being called together through airwaves, and dreams, and letters. A man met them there, calling himself Stephen Rykers. An agent for Ley’Ork.

His mission for them: infiltrate the laboratories to the south, Sparkpoint, and exfiltrate two researchers. One man, one woman - one human, one elf, both dressed in red robes. Ryker, of course, would accompany them. His rewards: a handy sum of money for most, and a convenient blind eye for the two revolutionaries. Coins are handed out to each of them: National Security and Intelligence Division identifiers - permits for magic.

The group accepted, and made their way back to the street and onto a train bound for the laboratory. On the way to the front doors, the party discussed their plan, involving many bombs and a few magical spells. Upon arriving, Rykers used his coin to gain access through the front doors… despite the lab being entirely empty, it being after hours.

A security camera is on in the corner. Barely audible is an otherworldly breath.
