Nathaniel.

[Bethany's voice is quiet, almost hoarse.]

I cannot raise Senior Warden Hansen, so this information falls to you.

[A sharp breath inhaled.]

They're dead. They're all dead. Including a dozen Circle mages - I don't recognize them but I have their effects. Blood magic, every last one.

Who is dead, Bethany?

Warden Warriors, Nathaniel. I will ... I will have the final numbers soon, but I found at least fifty bodies. Sixteen Circle mages, below in the dungeons. I said twelve before but I forgot the last ... the last cell. I'm sorry, I am a bit muddled.

[There is a long, long pause. When he speaks, he sounds shaken.]

It's done, then. Clarel murdered her own army to get a different one. We were too late.

I do not think this was all of them - I do not think they took the time to finish all the rituals ... there are signs here of a hasty departure. You will either find them on the road, or at Weisshaupt, but I would send word ahead. Perhaps to stop another tragedy from happening.

Any word sent to Weisshaupt could be intercepted and used to set up an ambush. Do you know where the demon army is now?

We are working on it. We have all the information gathered -- it will simply be a matter of getting someone to analyze it.

[She paused, then added.] There is a young man here, who seems particularly adept. I would ask Zevran to lend me his Kestrels but he has been sparse.

[Another pause.] I could also ask the Nightingale.
