Randall plops down at the invitation.

"If you think knowing they might exist is terrifying, just think of meeting one in person. With one exception that I am aware of," he nods at the boy among them, "they are as bad or worse than I described before the throne. I probably downplayed how evil they are, to be perfectly honest."

"If our presence is a problem, I'm only too happy to return to make our report to Eviana and your cabal can pretend we never existed. But I don't think that's why we are meeting here. As Jametor says, what can we do to aid you? We are not beholden to your cabal, but if they think we oppose them, well, we don't know the rules around here. Someone might get hurt." He tries to put on an innocent face at this last part.

"So, the fellow that was following us - not a friend, I gather? And the doors that are not doors - do they all go someplace like this?"

"Doors that aren't doors, queens that aren't queens," Asht'el mutters as he joins the others sitting on the grass. "I thought only the dark elves were this strange." Looking up quickly, he adds, "Sorry, no offense intended. But this is all very odd and scheming - I thought only Jametor was that way, but it seems it's an elf thing."

Nodding at Jametor's question, Asht'el gives the queen a kinder look and says, "Yes, what can we do to help? Having seen the way the drow are, and having some idea what they have in mind, it would be a good thing for your people to be willing to believe in them, for a start."

Xiddik stiffens. "Knew it."

By the way, rereading this the next day it looks ridiculously unlikely. I blame Xiddik's simplistic way of speaking. To clarify, she "knew" the elf queen was up to something. She's not trying to pretend she called it on the whole "queen in disguise" thing.

Xiddik takes a moment, then speaks, her voice dry and brittle. "If I may be uncharacteristically cold, what reason have we to be involved in this? High elf politics. Only thing more pointless for us to dabble in than dark elf politics. What does this cabal have to do with the deeps?"

Jametor snorts as he attempts to stifle a laugh when Xiddik mentions being cold.


Moar Mappity

Telandia listens as each of the group says his or her piece. Njord's suggestion makes her shudder. As Jametor speaks, she meets his gaze and smiles at him, inclining her head and seeming truly honored by his words of allegiance. She turns her smile toward Randall, and laughs musically at Asht'el's observation about elves. When Xiddik expresses her cold, reptilian view of things, the queen winces visibly.

"I don't know if they're working with the dark elves," she tells Njord. "I... I cannot imagine it being true, but they have done truly horrible things over the years. The fact is, I know very little about them... no one knows much, and anyone could be working for them. Yril, whose guise I took to come and see you, is one of a very few in the palace in whom I have absolute confidence. She very much wished to guide your tour after speaking with you this morning, but she understood my need to take her place."

She sighs and turns to Xiddik. "Only this, friend and dragonkin: that if these 'drow' are plotting the demise of the world, they must be stopped... and to be stopped, they must be acknowledged. For that to happen, the Winter Council must be exposed for who and what they truly are; for what they've done to elven society for so long. I have been trying to expose them for years, now... every time I think I have something, their agents intervene."

Her long hair splashes across her shoulders as she turns to Randall with a nod. "Not a friend, indeed. I have seen him about the palace before; I suspect him to be a servant of the Council. We are safe here, though. Yes, each door leads to a place like this, and no one who leaves the tavern remembers the faces of any they saw for the first time within, as a safety precaution."

"You are correct," she assents, giving Asht'el a smiling nod. "With the Winter Council in power, though, it would be suicide to attempt to convince them." She glances around at everyone. "The Winter Council must be exposed, and I have no way of doing that. If you were to find their hidden fortress, from which they carry out their clandestine rule... perhaps you could obtain proof of their dishonor, and show this nation that they are real and not to be trusted."

Jametor frowns and says, "Guess that means we aren't going to go back to the Goblin and live out our days in wealth and splendor." he then sighs, the corners of his mouth twitching a smile.

Randall holds up an index finger and states, "Yet!" to Jametor.

Turning to the queen, he asks, "In order to find anything, we will have to have a certain degree of freedom. And in order to look around without arousing much suspicion, we will have to be here a while so others get used to us. We will still be unusual and very noticeable, but if people are used to us being around, they are more likely to relax and share more."

"On the other hand, it will help if it seems that you don't like us. If we appear to be allies of yours, the Winter Council you called them? The Winter Council will close ranks against us. If we appear to be treated with suspicion and distrust but are not allowed to leave, they might even see us as potential tools to undermine you further."

He looks around, especially at Jametor, "That's how I would expect a crimelord to do it, anyway, but they work on a much shorter timeline, usually, than an elf can afford. They could also just choose until us short-lived ones go to Pharasma's care." He makes a gesture of respect to the goddess as he says this last. "What do you think, my friends?"

Will I get to throw fireballs in your plan Randall? because if not, I cannot support you as evil overlord.

"Hidden fortress? How do you hide a fortress?" Njord muses aloud.

He shrugs at Randall's suggestion. "You'd know 'bout this kinda thing than me. If you think layin' low for a while is the way to do this than I'll help however I can. Where should we even start? We don't want this Winter Council to know we're lookin' for 'em. You got anyone else that can help us out?"


Moar Mappity

Telandia nods thoughtfully as Randall unfolds his proposal, her attentiveness a far cry from her seeming boredom in the throne room the day before. At Njord's question, she nods again. "Yes, for some strange definition of 'help'. A number of years ago, I captured a succubus. She was attempting to infiltrate the Winter Council for her own means, and claimed to have discovered the location of their fortress... but would not tell it to me."

The queen pauses and shakes her head. "I have no sympathy for demons, nor do the others of my court; she is in prison. She wears the guise of a young and beautiful elf— to better seduce her victims, I suppose. I am certain she would not help you simply to be helpful, or to gain her freedom... but perhaps there is a way."

She turns back to Randall. "This fits with what you've suggested, and I believe you are right; there can be no whisper of my alliance with you, though the Council must already suspect simply by our presence here. If I were to confine you to the same prison as the demon... it would appear as though I had rejected you, and perhaps you could gain her trust somehow. It would be difficult. I could provide minor assistance in your escape afterward, but it would primarily be up to you."

Xiddik grits her teeth. "Seen how high elves fight the drow," she mutters. "Seen a lot of dead high elves. But if you think getting your words out will make a bump in the dark elves' road, let us start complicating. Communating. Communic...icating." She spits.

She listens as Telandia reveals her plans. Her eyes roll. "Ugh. Keep telling you all that demons are not my speciality. So tired of dealing with the monsters." She pauses, seeming to think. "But think that high elves bleed similar to dark ones. Let that I can cut them just as deep."

She gestures at Covakis and the goblin. "What of...the two seabirds that hang around our necks? Cannot follow us to your tunnels. Need somewhere to keep them." Her eyes get bright. "Maybe two boxes? Small boxes." She gestures with her hands, indicating a box roughly three-quarters her size.

Jametor's brow knits up as he tries to convert the words Xiddik spoke in common to Draconic in order to try to find her meaning. He shakes his head.

"I need a couple of weeks to recharge my staff and perhaps get some scrolls together for this fight. We might want to see if we can get some scrolls purchased before we get thrown in prison. Could we have a day or two before we get jailed? Rest up, get those who need healing, healed., etc. Guess it might be hard to get a priest or priestess into the prison and all. I am no illusionist, so I don't know how to hide our weapons and such, but we'll need those, plus spellbooks, for those that have need." Jametor says, ticking off his fingers as things come to his mind.

"Ruxi wants to go home," adds Fíriel, "though I don't know where exactly her home is. I suspect it's somewhere in Varisia."


Moar Mappity

The elf-queen nods at Xiddik and Jametor. "I cannot say exactly how long you will have... a few days, perhaps a week. Each day you are free is another day the Council will have to attempt to sway the masses against me. As for Covakis and the goblin... that is difficult. The goblin I might smuggle out of the city without too much difficulty; but it seems to me that Covakis, too, should go to Varisia. The people there accept those different from them, and perhaps there he could begin a new life without fearing the Winter Council."

She frowns slightly and looks at Jametor. "Have you yet any contacts at the Arcanamirium, Jametor Darksbane? The dark-elf—Covakis— seems comfortable with magic; perhaps he could study there for a time?"

"Well, my departure from there was a bit forced. Happens when you set the idiot son of a powerful man on fire..But perhaps, that would work. Wait, Riddleport. Perhaps we could use our connections to get him into the Cypher Lodge?" he looks at Njord.


M Ifrit Sorcerer 14 | HP 92/92 | AC 15 | T 14 | FF 12 (with mage armor 19 / 14 / 16) | CMD 19 | Fort +11 | Ref +10 | Will +12 | Init +9 | Perc +13

"That's an interesting idea, Jametor," Asht'el says, slightly bemused by the fact that he's suddenly got a child to look after, or at least find a place for. "Though I thought I recalled something about the Cypher Lodge not being all rainbows and unicorns..."

Tugging idly on a few strands of red-gold hair, he ponders a bit more and asks, "And how would we get Covakis to Riddleport? If we've only got a week to sort things out here, there's not much time for an overland journey. Unless you or the queen can teleport us there and back? I'd feel better about him being there if I were there to get him set up."

The notion of splitting up in such dangerous times worries Njord but he understood Asht's interest in personally seeing the boy cared for. "Jametor, you mentioned havin' magic capable of movin' people real far. Do you think you could get Asht and Covakis back to Riddleport tomorrow. The rest of us can lay low here in the meantime. You won't have a lot of time Asht but in Riddleport even someone like the boy won't stand out too much."

Xiddik's head tilts as she finally recognizes something. More-or-less. "If you teleport, can you take me as also? Not safe to send one off alone, especially when the one is breakable elf wizard who fights with a stick and wears as much armor as the courtesan. Besides, do not like this place." I've heard such talk of this great roofless city. Sounds like it might be a nice change of pace!


Moar Mappity

Telandia listens as the group discusses a plan, but shakes her head when there's a pause. "I would strongly advise against your leaving at this juncture. It would serve only to confirm all the fears and rumors that you are spies and betrayers. However, I could likely arrange for his transport there in secret, if that is where he wishes to go."

At this last, she turns to study the boy, who frowns thoughtfully and studies her in turn. When the proposal is translated for him, he nods slowly. "I would like to see this place, and perhaps to study there," he replies (in Undercommon).


Male Elf--Drow (Jamleus) Wizard 14| HP 80/80 | AC 15 | T 15 | FF 11 | CMD 22 | Fort +7 | Ref +10 | Will +11 | Init +4 | Perc +20 | Sense Motive +18 |Effects: Mage Armor +4 AC

"Queen Telandia, we should probably figure out more particulars, like communication and such. But the length of our conversation is probably getting too long. Perhaps we could make arrangements for long distance communications? I think the boy will fare better at the Cypher Lodge, at least he will have an upperhand on the trickery and deceit there. Absalom may be a bigger city, but that carries a few extra issues. To be honest, we should hope he develops lighter toned skin than some of his family."

Jametor translates for the boy to and from Undercommon.


M Ifrit Sorcerer 14 | HP 92/92 | AC 15 | T 14 | FF 12 (with mage armor 19 / 14 / 16) | CMD 19 | Fort +11 | Ref +10 | Will +12 | Init +9 | Perc +13

Asht'el defers to Jametor's judgment on whether the Cypher Lodge is the best place for Covakis. I wish I spoke the kid's language. And that I could go with him to get settled in Riddleport. He probably feels like I yanked him from home and am now shipping him off.

He studies the boy closely as he takes his part in the conversation, and a small smile appears on Asht'el's face as the boy expresses his reservations about any studying. Sounds like he's still Covakis, and like he's okay with this. Modding to Jametor to translate, Asht'el lays a hand on Covakis' shoulder and says, "I think you'll be fine there. When I left home, I went there, and the city and its people took me in. It will do the same for you, and I will return as soon as I can."


Moar Mappity

I'm sorry, you guys.

Covakis nods at Asht'el as the ifrit's words are translated. "I will do my best to blend in... but return soon."

Telandia nods at Jametor. "I fear I am constantly watched in my palace, so communication will be difficult... if I am able, I will come here to speak with you by magic."

She turns to the rest of the group. "Thank you all for what you are about to do. If you have no other questions, we should go."

Those who need healing should get it, you want to plant your plant? I'd like a few days to make some scrolls and try to recharge the staff a bit.


Moar Mappity

Telandia indicated that she could probably buy you guys a few days to get things in order.

Njord gives the elven queen a nod. ”Let’s get out of here.”

Okay, we'll lay low for a bit until it's time to infiltrate the prison.

Assume each day Jametor takes a fireball spell and stores it into the staff, number of days we have including the last two, since I had one left.


Moar Mappity

Telandia nods and speaks a word, causing her visage to shimmer as it changes into that of Yril. She approaches the doorway, and a moment later the group finds themselves in the tavern's hall of doors.

Leaving the tavern is easy enough, and just as the queen said, the group finds that they are unable to remember any of the faces they saw within for the first time. There is no sign of their pursuer; at this, "Yril" frowns worriedly.

After a short 10-15 minute walk, the group finds themselves approaching a verdant park. A number of elves make their way around the area in silence, tending the plants or setting small candles afloat on the crystal-clear pond in the center.

"Yril" glances over at Njord and indicates one of the elves with a discreet nod.

Catching the hint, Njord approaches the elf with his carefully wrapped cutting in hand.

"Hullo there! Your garden is beautiful", the burly ulfen offers along with a big friendly grin. "Our guide says you might have space for this little cuttin' I picked up. It'd planned to plant her at home but I don't think I'll be gettin' home anytime soon. It's mighty rare and I'd hate to see it die."

"Come," Xiddik says to Firiel. She jabs Firiel in the shoulder. "Should hurry to that priest. The devourer's taint still covers us both."

Silvanas said to come back tomorrow.

The elf turns at your greeting, and his eyes grow wide. He stares at the lovely purple blossom with its red star for a few seconds, then stammers, "Where... where did you get that? No, nevermind... do you have any idea what that is?!" He shakes his head in wonder. "Brothers!" he calls out, "Sisters! Look! This... this man has brought us siyana riyu, star of the mid-autumn sun!"

The other elves in the park turn and stare, then slowly begin to gather around, eyes wide.

Njord grins. "Har! I'm glad you all appreciate it as much as I do. A pretty thing like this will fit right in around here", he says. "Just take good care of her."

Randall tries to crowd in, looking at the bloom with new eyes. "So... it's more than just a pretty flower?"


M Ifrit Sorcerer 14 | HP 92/92 | AC 15 | T 14 | FF 12 (with mage armor 19 / 14 / 16) | CMD 19 | Fort +11 | Ref +10 | Will +12 | Init +9 | Perc +13

I believe the Queen is arranging it, I don't think I can get there with my teleport spell. 1200 miles is my limit and I think Riddleport is farther than that...I think.


Moar Mappity

The elf who'd accepted the bloom nods excitedly at Randall's question, and there are various nods scattered throughout the group. "It is indeed... it is... astonishing. We must get it planted at once. Siyana riyu has not blossomed in a thousand years, at the least. For it to do so now... I do not know what it may mean."

He turns to Njord and bows deeply. "Thank you, friend. We will treasure and nurture it here, and you are always welcome among us. Here," he adds, "take this, as a sign of our brotherhood despite our differences in parentage." So saying, he undoes a clasp from his tunic and hands it to Njord. Its shape is a mint leaf and a sprig of Kilianis fern, and it is crafted from a single piece of fine silver.

Njord gingerly takes the finely made trinket in hand and pins it to his collar with a big grin. It was a good feeling meeting others that appreciated the natural world in the same way he did and a welcome reminder that not all the elves were poncy pricks like the patronizing Winter Council lackeys they'd encountered earlier. He grabs the elven gardener in a crushing embrace. "Har! I'll wear it with pride!"

Any other sites worth seeing in town?


Moar Mappity

Njord:
As you pin the clasp to your collar, you feel somehow more in tune with the natural world. It provides an untyped +2 to Knowledge (Nature) checks.

It's a big city... anything in particular you have in mind?

Do they got some kind of wizard school or something? I’m sure Jametor would like to nerd out there for a while.

Randall's eyes get wide at the description of Njord's little flower. "Wow - that's a treasure, for sure, Njord. Good eyes you have."

I'm drawing a blank. Randall is satisfied to tag along with the others, trying to absorb everything possible as he goes - especially potential unwanted company. Please roll for him as necessary.

Jametor would love to steal some spells...I mean love to look over some books and such.

And Asht'el would like to see Covakis safely sent off to Riddleport.

Alrighty.

"Yril" leads the way back to the palace, promising to take you all out again on the morrow. A veritable feast awaits you in your quarters, and after bidding you all good rest, "Yril" takes her leave.

The room is a bit of a mess (it appears Ruxi got bored), and the goblin demands to hear about everything that happened. At the mention of Varisia or Riddleport, Ruxi's eyes grow large. "Ruxi go with Coco." she declares, motioning to the dark elf. "Ruxi think 'Var-iz-ee-ah' longshanks' name for Ruxi's home... Ruxi want to go home."

The meany bag is trying to get rid of our rescued friends.

"Yes," Xiddik says. The kobold has spent the day sulking in corners and leaning against tree trunks, avoiding the rest and working on her ballad. She scowls. "Am weary of these creatures follow us like adherers on our shoulders. The goblin should go. Can stay in inn you run, if you fear her safety in the city."

Njord enjoys the meal noisily despite the room's ruined state but takes a moment to rest a hand on Asht and Firiel's shoulders.

"Try not to worry too much. The boys and girls we left at the Goblin are good and loyal. They'll get 'em where they need to be. The boy's clever - he can take care of himself for a bit until we're finished here and I'm sure Riddleport's got nothin' on Ruxi", he says with a chuckle at the goblin's antics. "It sounds crazy but I'm sure they'll be a whole lot safer there than here."

He pauses, unsure of how secure the room was.

"In the meantime let's try to focus on our friend's problem.", he finishes with a decidedly unsubtle wink.

Fíriel sighs. "I just worry about her. She's... well... I guess not really innocent, but... naive? Vulnerable?"
