[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7819394, member: 2012"] "False Elites in the Gardens?" Custodio looks at his commander with concern. "I hadn't heard anything about that." "It's only a rumor, but one I'm taking very seriously," Oakfirst replies. He looks at Tuck with some admiration. "You seem to have the heartbeat of the city in your soul, Mr. Tuck. The Regulars could use someone with your talents, but I sense that you'd prefer to keep your independence. Still, maybe something to consider for the future." The lord commander looks at Big Tim. "Several citizens visiting the Gardens during the dusk hours have said they've encountered guards, Elites, they've never met before who tell them that the park areas are off-limits after sunset, which isn't true at all. Yes, the city encourages the use of the Gardens during the day, but the main gate to the Gardens remain partially open until the midnight hour. There are more guards stationed in the Gardens at night, but I've not assigned assigned anyone [I]new[/I] to the Elites there since learning that Phelix is in Old City. The guards stationed in the Gardens are all men and women I have known for years and trust with my life." "If any of them have been corrupted, or enchanted," Custodio shakes his head. "I doubt corruption or cruelty," Oakfirst insists. "However, Del Cannitha could have charmed one or more of them. I'm having Lady Émilienne keep an eye on the Elites stationed in the Gardens." "As long as he hasn't corrupted her," Custodio retorts. "If Del Cannitha can dominate or corrupt a Seventh Order wizard who is also a cleric of Sky and Air, we are all in serious trouble." Oakfirst looks at Akos. "But prepare your divinations tomorrow, just to be safe. Hopefully you won't have to use them."
