"We are of the Imperial Legion," Hafnir explained. "We were trailing a bandit ship, which we thought was taking hostages to be ransomed back to the Empire. Turns out, they were delivering them here."

"Our ship was destroyed as soon as we landed here. We docked, and they threw us in here, the... bandits that were holed up here... Then the birds came, slaughtered everyone, and we had to keep hiding down here..."

He glanced at the girl. "And so what are you doing here?"

"That's superstition," Xavier said. "Although, if someone has been here and looted the place before us..."

He peered out the door. "Baros has been in that basement for a while now..."

Goriyn grinned. "About 5 years ago, I squelched a little rebellion that sprung up. The Warlord, big Argonian. Brought him down, and got paid handsomly by the Dominion. Might have heard of it, news should have reached your tribe. Told me to forget this island, and if I tried to tell anyone, they'd send assassins on us. But I didn't care about the island. My interest was with the creatures..."

He glanced down. "I did a little digging in Summerset. Lots of things to learn when a guard loses his throat and I have to take over the document-keeping. Lots of notes about... experiments. How well they were going. How ferocious these new concoctions were. How... effective, they'd be in a fight..."

He chuckled. "Now, back when I was on the Island, I had a feeling these elves were messing with us. But, what I didn't about was... the source. The papers mentioned an original creature. "The Xiv Recruit," that's what they mentioned."

He was silent for a moment. "That... That's why I came back."
