"Very well then. Two years ago, Sarius worked for certain dark cult, that kind of cult using people as sacrifices in bloody rituals. I don't know why, but he was helping them obtain some ingredients from dangerous, dark creatures dwelling deeply in some caves. The cult apparently tried to not pay and kill him, but he managed to run away. I believe they were also scared of their cult being reported to local authorities. I've found from that time onwards he was constantly on the run, and he formed your mercenary group of young, promising people to teach you mercenary work. Unfortunately they've got him last year."
"The cultists however didn't think much and the poisonous herbs that were used to murder Sarius were specialty of only one assasin. I've found him, tried to bribe him, and interrogated him in the end. So that's how I learned who was responsible and I began to search for their temple or gathering place so I could avenge my half-brother."
"Then, when I was ready to strike them this winter, I learned that their group was murdered violently. I'm not sure here, but apparently some assasin or other of such kind decided to clean them by themselves. I couldn't find him; I tried to contact the last family that he worked for, but the Forsaken's - if you ever heard of them - are really reclusive, not to mention the last two months of in-fighting left them weary and unwilling to spare servants."
"Unable to get support, I've decided to track down some of Sarius' pupils, but I've learned that two are dead, few moved to Deynastia and some went to Berebia. I've got to you mostly because I carefully listened to rumors and news, and a charming, handsome swordmaster for hire is a rare sight in this parts, apparently, so you stand out... Apologies for drawing you out earlier with the help of that young man. I simply didn't want to bother if it turned out you weren't who you are." Arvin took a deep breath.
"But that's not all. I searched for you because I have something important to tell you - last month I've found out that the cult is still active. Apparently some priestess of high standing in the cult managed to escape with handful of cultists, or maybe she wasn't present at their temple when the assasin got to them. But they're definitely trying to rebuild their convent."
"Conveniently, I managed to learn where they're hiding. There's a small ruined outpost in middle of the swamp, just few hours travel north of here. I'm going to cleanse that place and get rid of the damned cult once and for all. There; you know what I know and I hope my tale wasn't confusing; I'm man of war, not a storyteller." Arvin went silent for few seconds.
"Would you be interested in coming with me? I have no money to offer; I'm myself driven by vengeance and nothing else. Your lady friend... pardon miss, I didn't get your name - she can wait here if she isn't interested in our 'crusade'."
"Yeh, I like dark, 's like in my cellar. Dark an' cozy."
