"Do you need something? Food? A drink?"
"Drugs?" The Dread Knight! suggested.

"Oh there you are," Ava said, rushing over to the man that gave her the necklace. "You won't believe what I found!"

"Try me," Faust suggested with an indulgent smile, gesturing for the elf to take the seat across from him.

Ava quickly sat down across from the man and sprawled her findings on the table in front of them. Her face became serious, but her eyes twinkled with delight.
"As I was examining this necklace with every tool I have in my arsenal, I could tell there was tremendous power hidden behind this necklace. As I prodded it with various, highly scientific, very fragile materials, it opened up. Inside I found a map of what looks like the Storm Peaks." Ava raised her head and pushed her glasses in to her face, looking the man straight in the eyes.
"You don't happen to know the origin of this necklace, or what this map may be leading to? By the way, I'm Ava, I don't think I introduced myself."

Character: Morec, House of Rivendare
Location: Dalaran - Legerdemain Lounge
Description:
Morec has forsaken his typical red, skull-adorned armor for black chain mail and cloth, and short and tattered black poncho - barely reaching past his chest - is draped around his shoulders. His boots and gauntlets are black plate, but provide plenty of flexibility since the fingers and toes have been removed from them. He wears his hood up, most of the time, but it's prone to falling down in combat. His eyes glow with the same unnatural blue light as ever, and he still carries Armageddon with him.
"And I am Morec," the death knight said, walking up behind Ava and placing his hands on her shoulders. "And while I know not who you are, dear miss, I am most interested in your conversation; mostly due to the fact of how I'm wondering
you're
still alive." He looked at Faust. "Something tells me you're more than human, arn't you? So come; speak up. I'm in the mood to hear a good story."

"Here's a good one. You, my perfidious fellow, gave me heartburn, which I must say disappointed me greatly. I thought you had more class than that. Now I have to drink these concoctions," Faust informed the Death Knight, holding up the fizzing drink. Though he smiled demurely still, the fact that he bit off the edge of the cup with his serrated teeth betrayed his annoyance, the broken glass tinkling as he chewed and swallowed.
"Anyway," Faust continued, turning to Ava, "I must say I am most impressed by your speedy decryption of the necklace, most impressed indeed. I will tell you all I can as to its source.
"You see," he began, "I was given it from a most learned if somewhat fastidious fellow, if were to be any judge of his character. He was obsessed with knowledge, and the Storm Peaks in particular! Before his, ah, unfortunate end, he had learned much of the secrets of the ancient place. And, in his own words, had made the discovery of a lifetime! He was positively ecstatic! Going on and on to me about it in his excitement, to the point he frequently delved into gibberish. I, naturally, encouraged him and he seemed quite cheered for his next expedition.
"Sadly, it was not to be, for it was about that point that he disappeared. It was as if he had vanished as smoke on the wind, not a trace left and no clues of his alleged discovery," Faust informed the pair in a sorrowful tone, sighing sadly and leaning back in his seat. "Truly, a great loss."

Ava spun around and slapped the hands of the man who grabbed her. "I'm sorry, but I am not here to fall for the clever wiles of–" once Ava's mind had the time to process what Morec was saying, she suddenly stopped. Ava wrinkled her nose at the stench that lingered on the man, who was undoubtably forsaken.
"Am I missing something? Do you know each other?"
Ava's mind continued to listen to the story Faust had told her. It replayed in her mind several times within the few seconds she paused.
"And that cup . . ." Ava said, pointing at the chewed cup.

"Hm? Oh, look at that. Ha, oh well. It happens." Faust laughed, turning the glass so its broken side was not facing her. The hatted figure leaned forward suddenly, whispering: "I wouldn't take anything he offers you, by the by," before retreating casually.

"That dosn't answer my question, my friend," Morec said, stepping closer to Faust. "That poison I gave you should have melted through your stomach and destroyed your intestines before you had a chance to seek medical aid. Not even a gronn's flesh could withstand the sheer corrosiveness of the toxin. Which makes it clear you're not human, maybe not even mortal." His hand ignited into blue cold fire. "Last chance; what are you?"

"Me?" Faust asked kindly, glancing over Morec's shoulder. "Well, why don't we ask my good friend here."

Morec just laughed. "Last time I thought I knew I failed to kill you, so I'll respectfully decline to answer for you." He looked over at Ava. "Me, however; I am Morec, of the House of Rivendare, former death knight of Acherus and currently a plotter of greater schemes in life. When you look upon me you look upon a man who survived death not once, but three times. A man who cheated the uncheatable thrice." He smiled. "And the man who will make this world what it was meant to be."
He looked back at Faust. "Your turn, good sir."

"I'll roll the dice then," Faust replied blithely as he picked up his glass.
Then flung it to shatter shrilly against a tauren's skull.
"Bar fight!" Faust shrieked, flipping over the table and shoving it into the death knight.

Morec blasted the table with cold, necromantic fire; burning it away with rot. He then advanced forward, scowling at the human; his eyes darted around to keep his eyes on the other bar patrons, to prevent himself from being ambushed.

"Time to run!" Faust shouted over the din of the ensuing brawl, grabbing Ava by the arm and dragging her towards the entrance.

"Let go of me!" Ava screamed, legs and arms flailing about, but nonetheless being dragged along. "What do you want from me?"

Morec froze an orc that got in his path and continued to make his way through the crowd towards the fleeing Faust. He could have frozen the door shut if he wanted to, but that would have just attracted the attention of whoever was outside. Dalaran was a ghosttown except for Mercinaries - who would not have cared - and the magi living here - who would have noticed immediately. It was this second group he was trying to avoid. He backhanded a woman out of his way and continued forward.

"The necklace and to save your life. Is that apropos or should I let go?" Faust asked, glancing back to see how far away Morec was even as he slipped through the crowd.

Ava nodded her head furiously, letting Faust drag her along with him. She glanced back to see if the undead, Morec, was hot on their tails.

Morec scowled. He couldn't catch up with them, not like this; and he had lost sight of the door to freeze it closed. He wrapped his right hand around a rune-engraved metal pendant hanging around his neck. Two ghostly essences flew from the necklace and wormed their way through the crowd at an unnatural speed, making it through the door before either Faust or Ava. Once outside they fully materialized; taking on the form of a mounted human knight and an also mounted orcish wolf rider that blocked escape from the inn. Morec continued to fight through the crowd towards the fleeing pair.
