She grins broadly her tone filling with a most undustman like excitement.

"Yes you are, and look at you... So pretty so..."

She stares fathoming what has happened.

Emila realizes this one is different- more.. advanced?

The crushing of the Holy Symbol was not part of the ritual but defiling Pelor's symbol that way seems to have increased that ones resistance against turning as well as its overall toughness.

"...you did this? You freed me?" She looks over at the pain extractor. "He is dead?"

"We did this, you and me. He is dead but he was holding you back you have the rest of forever now to study to learn to advance yourself, and I know just the people who can help you, and unlike most you are so close already."

She beams proudly from ear to ear as without a thought she tosses an obsidian at Durwin's corpse reanimating him as a much lesser unthinking zombie.

"We... yes. I remember. I put him in there." She pauses, turns to Emila. "I had reasons."

Unmoving she watches him rise again, more curious than horrified- unlike the others in the room.

"Very good reason. We are done here though."

Emila gestures her new charges to follow her. She would head through the crowd and return to The Mortuary. She is pleased she has a second specimen to show her superiors.

They follow of course and the pain pit returns to its normal business as well but Emila feels the guards and scrubbers treat her with more respect now, even with a hint of fear

Not long after Emila returned to the Mortuary she sees the shadows ripple between two upright sacophagi and Xifan appears, stepping out of his hiding place, as usual bowing deeply.

"Your High Malevolence! Let me congratulate. The mercenaries were most successful!

The winged one and the giant destroyed the Headquarters, killed the leaders and shooed a demon of Juiblex... if it is killed or incapacitated I do not know yet.

The other one showed a promising talent for cruelty.... inspiering some wretched addicts to acts of cannibalism, even doing the same. I was most surprised and increased that one's bonus.

Sadly this grisly and most cruel display also attracted the attention of the Harmonium and the ire of the Xaos- who are now hunted and harrassed as people remember their own Starved Dogs Barking group.. and associate those with what has happened. Both groups have placed a bounty on that man's head, I fear."

Emila listens as she continues the process of embalming a corpse. The members of The Cabal she knew only through the records she had taken from Neefe. Mauric's name however she had recognized as an acquaintance of hers from Khazeet's. She had always considered him a harmless if not entirely unpleasant buffoon. She was suprised to learn of his involvement and even more suprised to hear how well he did.

"I hope he didn't make them listen to the bagpipes. I know I said I wanted an example made but their are depths I did just not wish to stoop to."

She smiled mostly to herself before addressing Xifan.

"Keep an eye on him if he falls into the hands of the hardheads he could expose you and that would result in me having to do something regrettable to the two of you, and as you are both so very useful I would rather avoid that."

She adds as an after thought

"If he returns to the temple I'd like to be made aware. Obviously make sure everyone is well paid but unaware that I am the one paying them. We may have work for them again soon."

"If the Hardheads get him he will not be able to tell them anything, your Vileness. I am a mere Babau and not directly affiliated with you.. the mercenaries get their orders from a certain Nalfeshnee that once commanded me but now is indebted...."

The creature seems to smile at something, then continues. "The reward will be what was promised by Neefe.... and I will keep you informed."

She casts a look of scrutiny in the Babu's direction. At least one of these developments is news to her.

"I see you have thought of everything. Very good, keep me informed."
