Kelly walked the streets of Minoc greeting the townsfolk and tending to many questions they held in concern. Most of which concerned the Lich Lord.
"Will you be siding with it?" A nervous shopkeep asked.
"There is history between liches and vampires. The two have never mixed well. " Kelly paused and turned to address the crowd.
"Worry not my people of Minoc and those of Vesper. The affairs of Umbra do not affect our affairs here. Keep your eyes and ears alert however. I have not met the Ancient One who now has a firm grip on Umbra. I do not side with those whom I do not know or have not met. " She smiled to the people. "This is a time of peace for us. We will remain neutral. For now. "

"So you don't like the lich lord?" Another commoner asked.
"Would you side with the others to fight the lich?" Came another question.

Kelly ran her fingers through her hair knowing this was going to be a long day. "I never said I liked or disliked him. I simply stated that liches and vampires rarely get along. Rarely. As for siding with other to fight him? I doubt Sanctus or the Protectorate would invite us over for wine to discuss such an affair...though it is entertaining." She chuckled at the thought of her and Ian sitting across a long elegant stone table tipping goblets of wine with a frustrated Vian Skyfire then dismissed it.

"Have you ever killed a lich miss?" A young man spouted off which surred the crowd closer to Kelly.
She looked directly at the boy wanting to slit his throat but held her temper in check, praying the lich lord would never catch wind of this.

"Well?"
"Have you?"
"Yeah. Tell us! Have you killed one?"

The onslaught of questions became intense and relentless as Kelly stood in silent rage. Finally, after a long few moments, she answered.

"ENOUGH!" She shouted and brought silence to the crowd, startling about half of them. She paced like a sleek predatory feline before the crowd eying them all.
"You want an answer that could draw HIS attention to us? Fine! Yes!" She stopped and faced them all.
"Yes I have killed a lich before. It was not easy. Nor do I enjoy talking about it. Now. Go back to your shops and homes. Tomorrow I will answer more of your questions should you have them."

She stood and watched the crowd disperse before pulling her runebook out and heading home. She hit the steps of her home and went to her lab. I forgot how curious mortals can become. She rummaged through her bottles and ingredients. I can only hope the lich lord keeps his attention from us. Soon enough he will catch wind of our existence. She remained in her lab the rest of the night mixing ingredients with blood....her blood.
