She dipped her head. "I'll have one of my doctors bring a sample from the morgue." She looked to the doctor at the door, who nodded and retreated. "Have you made progress without the sample?"

"I believe so, I can't be entirely sure that the transmuted virus will attack the demonic flesh until I have the initial virus, but I have gotten quite a lot of preparation work done. I should be able to get started right away."

"Excellent." She nodded. "It's important work, to be sure. I'm glad somebody's bothering to do it."

She nodded fervently. "I hope that bastard's been eaten or torn up."

"I'm sure he has. I very much doubt we would have gone this long without hearing a peep from him if he wasn't dead."

"I suppose so. Or he could be planning his next move."

She shrugged. "Who knows?"

(Is the warlord dead, what is his name, and who plays him if he lives)

(It looks like in our initial planning the 'warlord' isn't actually in control of the demon army. Like, they gave the command 'destroy' and wasn't able to make them stop, decimating their own lands. It's ambiguous if they're still alive at all, but if they are they probs wouldn't be opposed to what our guys here are trying to do)(I've got a few ideas for the character if you don't wanna play them, but i also have an idea for how we could both play the 'character')

"Indeed," he agreed. "Has your family been effected by the darkness?" he asked, a somber note to his voice.

(I'm definitely down for playing them; we could always have two)

"Whose family hasn't?" she asked grimly. "My husband and his mother were traveling in the area that was first affected."

(I was thinking 'tough figurehead' + 'background influence' type dynamic for the villains. We wouldn't necessarily have to have a 'dumb' + 'clever' thing, just one is more public and the other is more inspiration to the first, if that makes sense)

"I'm sorry," he said sadly. "Your loss is felt by the gods."
