Emila watches the exchange cooly. Within the deep crypts she seems different. There are no bubbly eccentricities, no jokes no word play none of the quirky charm she displays outside. She does not bother to direct blood to her skin to appear alive she is quite clearly a walking pale fanged corpse. Her response is a simple blunt clipped command with no inflection or feeling positive or negative.
"Show us."

The creature bows to the vampire, leading the women deeper into the halls and tunnels, ralking as they go.
"He is both at peace and restless. Some say he is waiting for something, others think there is still a matter unsolved, a few argue that it is regret that prevents him from passing on."
The tunnels change subtly and they get calm and deserted, soon they are the only living/undead creatures around. There are doors and dark alcoves, gravestones on the floor and walls, urns are hidden away in crevices while others are displayed openly on pedestals.
They stop in front of a heavy door and their guide pushes it open and behind them they see a mummyfied corpse sitting on a throne carved from solid stone.
Several runes are carved into this stone, Kala recognizing them easily but the way they are bound and combined show the Factor that they were created by a master indeed. ((SC to find out more))
Emila feels this corpse is still aware- not undead, not alive, not yet fully dead, talking to it should be possible. ((SC should Emila want to find out more about the creature's condition.))

The runes are bound together, forming new patterns and uses this way. Kala identifies them as strong wards, both passive and active, designed to protect the corpse, to preserve it and also to reject whoever might try to tamper with it.
Emila on the other hand notices something else- this undead (or spirit?) clings to something. There is a small matter that is so important that he cannot let go, cannot find true death, despite being so close already.

At the sound of Kala's voice the creature stirs. It is a slight, easy to miss motion of its left hand and the vampire would also feel that this almost-dead is aware of their presence.
(( lets try again: Is Wednesday the 30th, 17:30 GMT ok for you two?))
