Hsiao remains indifferent to missing students, figuring that is why Moraad left in the first place and that he'll handle it easily enough.

The Rancor grapples the air where he was just in case it was not a teleport. If not, The Rancor then yells, "CHEECH SAID EROS WILL GO WITH THE RANCOR!!! START WALKING!!!" and escorts the three out the door and towards the tower.
[ooc] So Vampires need air to live and are not undead? [/ooc]

[OOC/]They are undead and do not require air but he beat your Initiative and teleported.[/OOC]
Eros chuckles and starts walking flanked by his Bladesingers.
TIME-WARP
Hsiao notices the Rancor approaching the tower along with three new people one radiating evil, necromantic energies.
Kelnozz you see coming up the path the Rancor following three cloaked figures. The furthest forward figure is wrapped in black flames, all three are armed with two swords, the front one with 2 additional weapons, All three are wrapped in long black leather cloaks that cover them from head to mid-calf and keep you from seeing their faces. Strangely enough one of the guards comes forward and hesitantly tosses something to the Figure with the Black Flames.

[ooc] Somewhere along, I got confused and lost track of what's going on. I guess that's what I get for being gone for a week or so. So... What the hell is going on here? [/ooc]
Cyrus woke up. Again. He looked around the dining room and noticed everyone was gone. "Wasn't there people here earlier.... By the gods this hang over is nasty... Note to self, kill whoever created the hang overs." The adventurers got up from his chair and began searching for the others.

[ooc] Whoa whoa whoa, the guards don't toss shit to Eros. He's not getting a token to get inside this building, are you out of your mind? Lol, The Rancor catches the token and bites it in half. If the guard tries another thing, The Rancor turbo-dices the guard. [/ooc]
The Rancor looks up at the building and attempts to locate any of his people looking out a window (assuming that's pretty standard at this point considering the 'red alert'). If The Rancor spots anybody, they hear inside their head at about 180 dB, "THE RANCOR HAS EROS THE DROW!!! NEED ASSISTANCE!!!"
The Rancor turns to them and yells, "YOU WILL WAIT HERE!!" The Rancor yells to any remaining guards, "GO GET SOMEBODY SMART!!!" and the guard simultaneously hears in his head "OR A STUNT DOUBLE FOR MORAAD!!!"

Sitting at a desk surrounded by several books, Braeden searches for any sign of something useful to this situation. His concentration is broken by a someone yelling outside. "This can't be good." Braeden grabs the stones given to him by Moraad and makes his way outside with haste.
Once there, "What's going on? Who is this?" Braeden stands in the path so that anyone trying to go to a front door will have to pass by or close to him.

[Does Hsiao know who this "Eros" is? Would I know why he is interested in coming to the tower?]
Hsiao sees them approaching and hesitates for a moment. "What trouble have you brought in your enormous wake now Rancor?" He stands slowly and heads to the teleporter, appearing out front, walking towards the Rancor. "Eros the drow hmm?" Hsiao vocalizes, knowing better than to even encourage the Rancor to use mental communication. "Tell me Rancor, why bring them here?"

Kelnozz will walk up to the group to see what this is about. Another drow?
[ooc] Sense motive to guess these guys' power level - 23, 25, and 20

[ooc] I'm gonna control my cohort here for a while Rob, assuming you don't have anything against that.[/ooc]
Feldwin suddenly walks out from the front door of the tower. "Please, everyone, calm down. Eros is an associate of Moraad's, and a friend of the Tower's." Looking at The Rancor Feldwin shakes his head. "And please, could you not destroy those stones? They are fairly expensive. And Moraad has standing orders to the guards to give certain people stones for entrance. Eros is one of those people." Looking over at the guards he motions to one of the pyre's that stands burning nearby. "Douse that would you? Those black flames are kind of disconcerting, and I think we already know of our friend here's.... nature." The guard grabs a bucket of water and douses the flames of a nearby standing Pyre. The instant the flames go out, the black flames around Eros Dissappear.
Looking around Feldwin smiles. "Now, could someone tell me what is going on, so I can relay the message to Moraad? Consider me the middle man for communication to him. We have a link that lets me talk to him, even while hes on his current... expedition."

The three figures simultaneously toss back the hoods of their cloaks. All three are Drow, Eros is easily distinguished by the scaring on his arms and the Glowing Blue Eyes. Eros addresses those gathered. "We are here on the request of Cheech and need to speak to Moraad. I assume that if you are greeting us Feldwin, then Moraad is not at home. I am sure the Rancor can tell of our colorful encounter at the bar well enough to satisfy you all as for me and my people we need to see Moraad as soon as he can return." There is a strange echo to his voice and it sends chills down the spine of anyone not immune to fear.
[OOC/]ok on to questions. Hsiao you have heard rumors of the Son of the Highest Blade Master turning rogue and leaving the underdark, this is not uncommon since there are large surface drow settlements here now but still you would have made note of both Eros and the other famous Rogue Montoya (actually a family name of rogues and assassins.) Kelnozz they are Bladesingers and very powerful. Bladesingers are an elite fighting force trained to wield bardic magics, arcane magics, and sword play into a deadly force to reckon with. Cyrus, man it would take forever lets just say that all hell broke loose lol.
For anyone who is curious about Eros here I need knowledge Arcana or Religon, the only exceptions would be for clerics or select Specialist Wiz who would know of this. [/OOC]

Braeden looks as if he has a thought but is plainly waiting on Feldwin's response.

"Moraad is not here. You can speak your purpose to Feldwin or I." Hsiao remains with arms folded behind his back.

The Rancor spits the two pieces of warpstone at Feldwin and throws him a bag of 200 gold. Then The Rancor yells, "FLIPPER FACE AND FALLDOWN SAID TALK!!!" at Eros. "START WITH WHY CHEECH IS A VAMPIRE!!! THEN TELL THEM ABOUT THE WHITE WARRIORS THAT SUCKED!!!" Anyone with any kind of familiarity with The Rancor is aware that this is much calmer than he was when he approached (in case it is hard to tell, lol).

Feldwin opens his mouth to say something then suddenly closes his mouth. Stepping to the side a bit, he watches a spot a few feet off behind the group, a small smile on his face. As if on que, Moraad appears, resplendent in his usual vestments, minus his signature mask. Smiling pleasantly, he nods to Feldwin, and claps him on the shoulder as he walks by. Feldwin turns, bows to the group, and turns and disappears into the tower.
Moraad simply walks forward, looking from face to face. "Thank you all for your concern, but let me clear up a few things real quick." Looking at the Rancor, Moraad frowns a bit. "Perhaps I should have explained this sooner... when I first found out you had met one of Cheech (OOC: And no thats not a typo. Thats exactly how he says it.). Cheech is.... well for lack of any better term, Cheech is many. His mind has split, and in doing so, his body as well. There are many incarnations of Cheech. Generally speaking, one for each type of polar personality, and who knows how many for everything inbetween. From the description I have gathered so far, I believe you have met one of the Evil Cheechs..." looking around the Rancor towards the city he smiles. "And from the fact that half of the city isn't destroyed or burning, I have to guess it was one of the more self controlled Evil Cheechs. Yet they are all Cheech. It is very complicated."
Turning he looks at Eros. Bowing low, he greets the dark elf in a very respectful manner. "And pardon my callousness my friend, and the lack of hospitality. Difficult times, I am sure you understand. They aren't as well acquainted with you as I am. How are you Eros? It must be something Dire to bring you all the way out to my tower. And I fear it has something to do with the war breaking out across the world, am I wrong?" Looking around he sighs. "Perhaps we had best all move to someplace a bit easier to talk in?" He looks around at the group and makes motions for everyone to get a bit closer. "If you all have no objections, I will take us to the Grand Dining hall again, where we can talk in at least some semblance of comfort."
Assuming he gets no objections, Moraad will cast Teleport without Error, including all party members, Eros, and the 2 blade singers, and take everyone to the Grand Dining Hall.

Eros smiles "As usual Moraad you are far better informed then I knew. It seems that the information Cheech asked me to bring you is already in your hands."
[OOC/]Ok for those who rolled it Arcana gives you that Eros is filled with powerful Necromantic magics. Religion tells you that he is undead but more then that he is a Death Knight.[/OOC]
