She had to laugh a bit about his desire of money over sanity. It was a boast, clearly, but it made no difference. He was in, and whether he knew it or not, he was helping her deal with a harsh chapter in her life, the one that remained to haunt her, even after she had overcome the issue of her parents' deaths.
"That's the spirit, and no time like the present."
Rena stood up after quickly finishing her tea, pulling Spark from the wall and on returned it to her back. He was arming and armoring up, which was always a good idea, and was back in plain view within moments, suggesting they take this out of town.
"Agreed. He might've done. Depending on the kind of person he
is, he could make real trouble for us if we don't handle this right."

A famous actor once said 'Irony can be very ironic, at times.'. It was a comedy, of course. Even still, the point remains that the conversation had
definitely been heard, and even as Rena and Julien were to move out to go find him...the black magus was already making his appearance.
The middle of town was, as always, a bustle of activity. Well, it was about to get
a whole lot more active! People were suddenly shocked and blindsided by a fast-moving shadow that leapt past them, higher and higher, before standing atop a building and appearing now in the form that Garlock had been in whilst drinking in Yahbrook, the very same that had watched Julien from a nearby table.
With a sweeping gesture, Garlock extended a dozen or so shadowy tendrils all over the market square and general town circle area, slamming their spiked ends forcefully into the pavement, breaking through and cracking it wildly with their heavy impacts! He whipped the appendages up and they flailed against several buildings, causing more damage as they retracted to again become his hands, hands which he now raised overhead.
"People of Whiteriver, BEWARE! I am Garlock The Destroyer! I come to say that I am...basically going over that way, should anybody ask! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha haaa!!!"With that, he changed shape and became to leap from building to building, in the direction he had so indicated. It would be, perhaps, the strangest thing an evil magus had ever proclaimed to a populous, and it had been done on purpose. Those two were to find him, alright. But while they were coming for
him, he was waiting for
them. Make no mistake, this was to be the confrontation, and he would not be running from it.
