Emila gives thanks to Vecna in a silent prayer that the hive is as it is. She grabs the tieflings good wrist and drags her through the crowd to the safety of The Mortuary. Once there she heads straight to the deep crypt stopping for nothing and no one. Once safely sealed away with the two bodies she turns to her captive.

"What is your name?"

The girl stumbles after here, whimpering but not struggling anymore- too scared of the monster that just killed her protector and friend in a most brutal way.

In the mortuary she gets her share of curious glances from some namers but noone approaches her or stops her- and most higher ranked or undead factioneers stopped caring a long time ago.

Soon they reach the lower crypts and the girl's voice trembles as she answers: Gat.. Gat the Mouse."

She is scared and her surroundings and company do nothing to calm her.

"Alright Gat. I would like you to sit down and be calm please."

She stares into the tieflings eyes trying to exert her will over the frightened girl. Presuming Gat does as she is told she then fetches the reposed body and the gem she brought from the bazzar. Placing the gem in the corpses mouth she reaches out for its departed soul drawing it back and shackling it to unlife.

The girl's will is broken quickly and she goes silent, sitting down on the ground in a corner, rocking slightly, her eyes empty.

Yet inwardly her mind screams with horror as she witnesses the what is happening, the negative energy filling the body the sound of flesh ripping as the bones grow, the rips popping out as the chest expands while the organs are shriveling.

The creature staggers to its legs, towering over Emila now and it lets out a loud scream of pain, despair and... hunger.

It looks down at the Vampire who created it, its body tense.

"Who are you.... will you feed me?"

And in the corner the tiefling's mind snaps- only Emila's magic keeping her up and going now.

"Of course."

Emila picks Gat up by the hair and throws her at the newly created undead. The girls death being for the sole purposes to ensure a friendly relationship with the sentient free willed undead.

"Once you are finished though perhaps we might talk?"

The creature whirls around, its hunger, its greed something familiar to Emila- but its way of feeding is very different.

It closes its hands around the helpless trembling girl and she gasps- and dies.

At the same time the Devourer relaxes and when it turns around to face the vampire the cavity in its chest is no longer empty- a small figure, its features so very close to the now dead tiefling girl claws an unseen wall, its features marred by utter horror and despair.

"Yes... we can talk. Talk. What do you want to talk about?"

Emila is not shocked by the tiefling's fate. She knew the devourer would do exactly this.

"I'd like to know what you remember from before."

Here came the gamble. She had turned the elf into a relatively intelligent free willed creature in the hope it would recall at least the most recent moments of its life.

"How you came to be here?"

As she sees the flash of divination she mouths a word at whoever is watching.

"Boo."

She takes a wand and casts gentle repose on the corpse. She has it stored with the other away from the other's being processed. Then she takes the claw and heads to the lab in the lower ward.

Hard to say if whover watched was appropriately scared- however Mazzy is quite nervous as he sees the woman again.

The lab's air is full of alchemical fumes, liquids bubbling in the cauldrons and a low hum fills the air, the creatures in the cages appearing sullen and tired.

"L...Lady Valios. What a pleasure." A smile appears on the gnome's face- a polite one, appropriate to the situation but it is more nervous than warm.

"What can I do for you today?"

Having clearly forgotten exactly what terrible thing she has done to make the gnome so twitchy Emila settles on a pleasant smile as a means of expressing herself.

"How are you Mazey?"

She does not wait for answer, instead she shows him the claw.

"What is this?"
