Ashar pulls out a vial filled with a red liquid that Shay would only be able to assume is blood. "This... The sample here is from a unicorn. I wanted to study it and saw an injured one one day. It's fine now. No longer in pain." He put the vial back in his pocket. "I'm trying to get a sample from each of the 11. Dragon blood has many properties useful in potions and other things. I need quite a bit for what I'm studying, though. A few vials from each Lord. I haven't found a way to synthesize or replenish blood without having the actual body do the work so I need enough for a few years of research. I'm not asking you assist in killing the Lord's, that's your choice. Actually I'd prefer they stay alive. But for each vial I can promise a pretty hefty sac of gold. I'll be joining you all but the lairs I can not go into. At least not with you all. I can offer much information to your group however." Ashar looked at a pocket watch, quite an ornate one that even had a calendar in it that turned with the time. Then, he pulled out a second watch. This one looked the same but had the correct time and date. "I always get those mixed up. Well we should be on our way to your group. Lead us to them? Oh, and the deal on the vials is just between you and me."
