Things have rarely felt more bleak, which is saying a lot, given the downward spiral that has been the last few years. In a bold move, leader of the Church of the Lord's Humanity, Draken Crombe, came to the doors of the Knighthood itself, accompanied by the dangerous Mind Master, to 'parley' with Wynn in front of his Knights. The bargain, however, was particularly one-sided - they leveraged Jeanne Gar's life to pressure Shadowkind revolutionary and former assassion Rafael Giovanni into going with them, his life ostensibly to be placed on auction to his many enemies. Draken also took the opportunity to reveal to the Knights who had gathered to watch that Wynn was interested in creating a Gate to the Shadow World, and warned them of the dangers this could pose, encouraging them instead to consider what good might come from permanently sealing the Veil instead. It is to this end, apparently, that he had kidnapped Gar, although her fiancee, Dragon's Claw Jack Chessing, refused to believe that she would assist the zealot.

Allowing Rafael to make up his own mind, Wynn watched as the half-elf elected to go with the villains and said his goodbyes to his beloved, Buffy Summers, convinced that she would find a way to save him. Thinking quickly, Felicity Braddock managed to drop a phone on Rafael, which Topher Brink used to hopefully track down the captured Knight and Rafael...

Likely, this is the very reason that Wynn has now called the team together, at least. Wynn and Jack are already present when they enter, standing at the far end of the table gravely.

[This is exactly the kind of thing you don't want to come home to... Rose looking more than a little somber as she enters the round table room. A weariness about her that has much to do with that downward spiral of these last few years.

Her gaze touches on Jack, offering a nod by way of greeting before pulling up a seat not far from where the men have assembled.]

Jack... [Her gaze shifting to Wynn and lingering there for a long moment.] Wynn.
