  1. With the attention of both acquired, the man would slowly begin to guide them towards the sewers! Passing countless corridors until them reached the main structure that served as home for his abominations.
  2.  
  3. The Fleshcrafter's den.
  4.  
  5. Entering the site, the presence of the undead was increasing at every moment, such creatures most of the time could be seem wandering the corridors and doing other shores around, but this only happened until they arrived at the laboratory, which was empty. In countermeasure to that fact, the undead were exchanged for resources! That is, bodies which were everywhere.
  6.  
  7. As expected.
  8.  
  9. On hooks, boxes and mainly over the necromancer's table. Such bodies on the table were the ones that attracted the most attention, as these were the body of a Stone Ogre, a Mutant and innumerable pieces of human flesh!
  10.  
  11. The resources to be used in the future.
  12.  
  13. "Well, as you may well know already.. The Lovers died. Sadly.. I know, it's TRULY sad.. But it's how life works! The people of Esshar don't understand these beautiful creatures and so they execute them consecutively without even thinking twice.
  14.  
  15. But for that they will pay.
  16.  
  17. However, we cannot procastinate until that, we must work! We must create new things. Especially considering our current situation.." He would say initially in order to explain what they would be doing, "My plan for the days ahead is to raise my next child! Create a new abomination, as you two may already expect.
  18.  
  19. Ultio.
  20.  
  21. And the main resources for that are on the table!" Concluding his speech he would point to the pieces of meat and bodies huddled on the table, before turning around.
  22.  
  23. Going to the board, he would take a piece of chalk and start making a list of objects, more materials to be used in the project! Among them were two potions, which would be extremely important, since they have been circulated several times!
  24.  
  25. "But not only the bodies will be what is going to be used, because we will need more materials as is expected. For you Enrica, it will be a start for your studies, so watch well during the time that we will be working.
  26.  
  27. Or if you want, bring something that can help! Until we do the ritual that is, which is when you will help us the most!
  28.  
  29. For you Wesley, we will continue our creations and studies together starting today! But for that I will need your skills as an alchemist once again.
  30.  
  31. For what? Simple, two potions! One of total resistance, Stone Skin. And another one for regeneration! Rejuvenation. Things that will be injected into the creature's body, in conjunction with this.." Turning to them, the man would pull a jewel from his pocket! One that many there could already see what it was about, an Nethradin fragment, "So, everything understood until now?"
  32. (Nidaz)
  33.  
  34. With her attention being grabbed by the waving councilman, Enrica starts to make her way to follow her. Only with a concerned smile for what's to come. Wesley, Nidaz and Enrica… the trio going towards the Fleshcrafter's den.
  35.  
  36. The undeads were sufficient things to place a smile even more joyful just looking at all the undeads working left and right, and making random commentaries about each one of them!
  37.  
  38. "That one... looks too fat. Captain Niffty would make him workout a lot.", that she is sure.
  39.  
  40. But arriving at the laboratory were all the undead activity was simply ceased, now with them laying around the laboratory, ready to be used as resources for what's to come.
  41.  
  42. Resources for the future.
  43.  
  44. She glanced at Nidaz, starting to hear him all-so-attentive!
  45.  
  46. She takes one, two, six steps and leans against a wall, grabbing her note book and starting to write down notes after notes about just what Nidaz is talking about. The Lovers are dead. There are interesting corpses of a mutant, ogre and a lot of humans!
  47.  
  48. No procrastination.
  49.  
  50. Ultio! The new abomination... with the mutant and ogre being the main resources... with the list being made with chalk on the board. She starts to write down on her book everything.
  51.  
  52. This is going to be the start of Enrica's studies! Not that she wants to be turned into a fleshcrafter, she will only learn from it! She doesn't need to practice something to be able to be knowledgeable of. And it seems she will be most of help during the ritual...
  53.  
  54. "Yes, Councilman."
  55.  
  56. A simple affirmation to his question.
  57.  
  58. The nethradin fragment...
  59. (Enrica)
  60.  
  61. Ah, brought down into the depths of Hel for another informative meeting. Wesley had a bit of a spring in his step, for science was his aphrodisiac of choice. When they do reach the familiar housing, he stops before the table. The parts begin to grow in number, ushered in by exterior forces. He glanced about the meet.
  62.  
  63. Almost certain this all came from their tragic loss at the Mines.
  64.  
  65. "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, Councillor." Truthfully, Wesley was horrified by them. But they were a fascinating display, of course. "Not only did our aims to capture quite useless spirits fail, the lovers were eternally separated. It is tragedy."
  66.  
  67. Still, on the bright side, a new abomination!.... Wonderful...
  68.  
  69. Upon mention of potions being required! "Ah, rejuvenation potions are expensive. But with my market capital I should be able to make quick work of the resource acquisitions." After all, the man had just spent a fortune on a rare samplefrom a distant country. The corpses of Fae were a trifle effort in comparison.
  70.  
  71. "Everything is quite understood!" A new day, a new horrible creation. But an advancement of his studies!
  72. (Wesley T.)
  73.  
  74. "Excellent! We will need exactly three potions of resistance, plus two potions of rejuvenation! And as always, I will be extremely grateful for your contributions my dear friend.
  75.  
  76. Truly.
  77.  
  78. In addition to this stuff.." He would pause, opening his satchel and removing drawings from inside, which looked more like doodles made by a child!
  79.  
  80. He was not the best at doing this..
  81.  
  82. In the scribbles there was something written, in addition to another drawing of the Nethradin gem. What there was written is simple, blue mercury! Where beside it was the illustration of what seemed to be something allocated in the head of what would possibly be the creature!
  83.  
  84. A kind of hole made interconnected to the brain, to put the gem!
  85.  
  86. "You and me, my dear Wesley, will be creating this to increase the creature's powers! Everything perfectly planned!" He would say commenting on his plans, "Any questions?"
  87. (Nidaz)
  88.  
  89. Enrica just stood there, taking notes after notes of everything said between the two men and just smiling silently. Awaiting for her to do anything... but it seems she will just remain by taking notes of everything said.
  90.  
  91. Every word.
  92.  
  93. Every act.
  94.  
  95. Noted.
  96. (Enrica)
  97.  
  98. Wesley grabs his notebook from the satchel by his side. He makes sure to note down the requires resources.
  99.  
  100. Three potions of resistance-concentrate.
  101. Two potions of rejuvenation.
  102.  
  103. The notebook closes. Where would Wesley be without his note? Likely wandering aimlessly wondering what that feeling of forgetfulness is that he just could not shake. "Hm. I see." As for the continuation of Nidaz's statement.
  104.  
  105. Wesley looks over the provided example. Something clicked in that moment while he was reviewing Nidaz's sketches. An implantation not entirely unlike the neural mesh he installed within Skoupidia. But the alteration was the implantation of a Gem within the cortex that would allow its entire body to channel spiritual energy for vigour and repair.
  106.  
  107. The gem he bought, said to provide glimpses into the lifestream. Why constrain oneself to a single sense, that of sight, when they could simply feel and understand what surrounded them? Not entirely unrelated to Nidaz's sketches, Wesley smiled. A scheming look was in his eyes.
  108.  
  109. A neural mesh to replicate Ethric's telepathic resonance.
  110.  
  111. It was genius.
  112.  
  113. "This will go quite well, Councillor." He looked up, the yellow-toothed grin still adorning his features. "I look forward to the surgery." To both surgeries.
  114.  
  115. Only, Wesley had his own diagrams to draw up.
  116. (Wesley T.)
  117.  
  118.  
  119. [18:57] Wesley T. asks, "However, I must ask. Is this abomination named after anything in particular?"
  120.  
  121.  
  122. While they were both taking notes, the man would snap his fingers so that the undead appear and take the bodies to an extremely safe place! Nothing could be damaged.
  123.  
  124. Not even a bit of those bodies..
  125.  
  126. "Me too, me too my friend! First we will shape the body in such a way as to make it subject to changes in the head and introduction of fluids.
  127.  
  128. Truly.
  129.  
  130. Maybe we'll put the body in a vat, we'll see." He would say, thinking about how he could do all of this, "And yes! Ultio is a word derived from revenge, I remember hearing it once..
  131.  
  132. Makes sense to what I have in mind.
  133.  
  134. The revenge. A creature that aims to take revenge against those who took his life, who betrayed his people, who betrayed me. That destroyed the beloved The Lovers.. Among other things." Simple in any way possible, as always, but maintaining a basic idea for his creations.
  135.  
  136. Nothing was done without reason after all.
  137.  
  138. "That would be all for now, if any of you have an idea to add in the middle of it or materials that we can use! Go ahead and speak." He would say smiling for a few moments, before sitting down.
  139. (Nidaz)
  140.  
  141. Watching as undeads rushed in... she looked at a funny looking one.
  142.  
  143. "His face is melting... might need some fixing."
  144.  
  145. And then back at noting down things... a creature that aims for revenge looming over all of Esshar! Prepared to destroy everything with all of it's mightiness! How lovely... taking after The Lovers. Yes. Without doubt... quite interesting.
  146.  
  147. Well... that's everything... but that's the start of this project too! Something to keep in mind. She just nods towards Nidaz. Closing her book after taking notes of what Wesley said and how he reacted and acted!
  148.  
  149. "I will be sure to come with ideas for Ultio, Councilman."
  150.  
  151. And with that, she left!
  152. (Enrica)
  153.  
  154. Watching as undeads rushed in... she looked at a funny looking one.
  155.  
  156. "His face is melting... might need some fixing."
  157.  
  158. And then back at noting down things... a creature that aims for revenge looming over all of Esshar! Prepared to destroy everything with all of it's mightiness! How lovely... taking after The Lovers. Yes. Without doubt... quite interesting.
  159.  
  160. Well... that's everything... but that's the start of this project too! Something to keep in mind. She just nods towards Nidaz. Closing her book after taking notes of what Wesley said and how he reacted and acted!
  161.  
  162. "I will be sure to come with ideas for Ultio, Councilman."
  163.  
  164. And with that, she left!
  165. (Enrica)
  166.  
  167. This surgery was going to be an interesting display of his prowess! Nidaz was right to involve the man. After all, few can claim to be both an Alchemist and an Artificer. Although, Wesley did have to make up for his abysmal combat skills in that regard.
  168.  
  169. A jack of all trades... Master of none.
  170.  
  171. "I have already experimented with brain implantation on animals and even a live human subject. This should be more than doable, overall. Will this creation also lack a soul and a mind, as the last one?" Wesley of course was given no mention of a Core to power it. Only of a gem implanted into the skull.
  172.  
  173. If the gem itself was to empower this being to act, then that would be a most curious modification. "Ah, as for materials. Before Kael's mysterious departure and strange creatures hailing his name-" He still found all of that rather odd. The man shall be missed! "I did acquire an organic sample from him. He originally wanted it built into armour. I never got around to it."
  174.  
  175. "It is supposedly part of a wing from some best during a heist or whatever. Resonates cold and occult energies, if that is something you wouldn't mind woven into the abomin- Into Ultio's flesh." He truthfully had no use for anything quite so contaminated! It wasn't a metal, it was not something particularly meltable.
  176.  
  177. It was stinking up his workshop.
  178. (Wesley T.)
  179.  
  180. Leaning in the direction of Enrica, the man would nod firmly to this one, while she moved towards the exit. For today, unfortunately, he had little to offer them, since it was just an initial planning..
  181.  
  182. But there would soon be more!
  183.  
  184. More practical things..
  185.  
  186. "Mm, I don't see the need to create a creature with a very advanced mind, so it will be something like Mistakes. She will know how to speak, but she will not be very smart.
  187.  
  188. As should be." He would reply briefly, looking out of the corner of his eye in Wesley's direction, still bent to the side, "And I don't mind! The more material to add, the better.. As always.
  189.  
  190. More power for Ultio! We truly need it." He would say nodding a few times, while returning to his position.
  191.  
  192. Anything, even the smallest possible, would help in the project! Nothing was thrown away, everything was reused and given a new purpose in the hands of Nidaz.
  193.  
  194. Just as everything should be.
  195. (Nidaz)
  196.  
  197. Leaning in the direction of Enrica, the man would nod firmly to this one, while she moved towards the exit. For today, unfortunately, he had little to offer them, since it was just an initial planning..
  198.  
  199. But there would soon be more!
  200.  
  201. More practical things..
  202.  
  203. "Mm, I don't see the need to create a creature with a very advanced mind, so it will be something like Mistakes. She will know how to speak, but she will not be very smart.
  204.  
  205. As should be." He would reply briefly, looking out of the corner of his eye in Wesley's direction, still bent to the side, "And I don't mind! The more material to add, the better.. As always.
  206.  
  207. More power for Ultio! We truly need it." He would say nodding a few times, while returning to his position.
  208.  
  209. Anything, even the smallest possible, would help in the project! Nothing was thrown away, everything was reused and given a new purpose in the hands of Nidaz.
  210.  
  211. Just as everything should be.
  212. (Nidaz)
  213.  
  214. Well, though Wesley was reluctant to part with his growing supply of odd materials, he was more than willing to be ridden of that particular sample. How generous he was, truly. "Understood! I shall procure and deliver it to you at your earliest convenience." And much like Enrica's sudden departure, it was time for him to leave as well.
  215.  
  216. "A pity about the mines, as well. The market will be struggling from the sudden lack of metals in circulation. We shall need beasts of war more than ever." He once had reluctance towards creating something quite so horrific. But if you take his mines from him? The lifeblood of his Artificery? Hell have no wrath like a Wesley scorned.
  217.  
  218. With that, he does nod to the man and begin his departure.
  219. (Wesley T.)
  220.  
  221. The man would nod firmly, "In war everything happens, where unfortunately the blind Esshar do not see tha Osrona is already in power of everything, where after our fall? Moxtli and the Fireblooded will be next.
  222.  
  223. And no one see this..
  224.  
  225. Followed by the pirates and Shadowmire." He comments, somewhat calmly even in the face of such words, "But I am confident that with our creatures, in addition to our soldiers, we will soon be able to win!
  226.  
  227. And also something that Marcel has in ind.
  228.  
  229. And then regain what belongs to the Empire.. But, for now, rest young Wesley. You will need it, as we will soon work!" He would conclude, closing his eyes and leaning back against the chair.
  230. (Nidaz)
  231.  
  232. [18:57] Wesley T. says, "Yes, of course. Do take care, Councillor..."
