End of Agent: Â Revisiting the Dawn
(Events took place before End of Agent: Broken Tool)
After the meeting on the Agent’s next step, Reks, Autgar, and Viktor elected to visit the remaining two members of the Golden Dawn as they were continuing their recovery at Rhalgr’s Reach. The goal was to get Barais Steelshield to elaborate on the intelligence the Golden Dawn had acquired that led the Spinner’s Shears to wipe out his guild, though they also wished to ensure that the man and woman were doing alright.
Upon arrival they ran into Barais in the Barber. He seemed to be in much better shape both physically and emotionally, but the Roegadyn merely claimed that he was out of tears for now. Once again he assured the folks he had no desire for revenge as he rolled a golden linkpearl between his fingers. At Rek’s behest, he explained the way the the Spinner’s Shears operated when the struck and a few known methods and tools they possessed.
Eventually, Barais’ own health came up, and he explained the menders had discovered the poison remained in his body and would periodically flare up causing wounds to open once more and extreme pain until the doctors could cause it to go back to being dormant with aether and patch him up once more. Viktor pondered about the nature of a poison and remarked with a sample he could perhaps create an antidote.
Barais confessed he had a sample and borrowed Autgar’s knife to bleed his own arm enough for Viktor to gather a vial of his blood for further experimentation and analysis. They offered Barais and Jessie linkpearls incase they thought of anything else that might be useful for the Agents and escorted Barais to the tombs to find Jessie.
Jessie had not answered her pearl for a bit, but not due to any threatening force. She was sobbing and holding on to X’alan’s cesti at the small shine Rhalgr’s Reach had allowed them to put up for their fallen friends. Autgar spared a few more words to Barais before letting him go comfort his sister. The Agents left, unsure of how to help the broken pair but armed with new information about the Spinner’s Shears and tools to help cure Barais of his poison. A tool Viktor was unaware at the time he would need for some closer to the company.
