Tower rushes to the source of the sound, quietly activating the runes of Air. His hands start glowing with faint white light as the symbols carved on his hands channel magic from his core into elemental might.

Ilbryn will move that way, but cautiously.

Oops. I assumed you were in a library. The Rekkenmark Academy library to be precise. It's a three story library with students there getting educated and educating themselves with reading books. You are on the first floor, and the chaos generated by the brick through the air has prompted the guards to also investigate.

[Sorry about that.

Still here. Just waiting to see if something happens.


M Half-Elf (Aerenal) Hedgewitch (TG) 1

it's all good, was just trying to set the scene in my head.

As for Garra, some of her old buddies show up. "Garra, where have you been?" They ask.

Tower goes to investigate what made the noise, without releasing the magic bound to his hands.

Tower, you find a brick with a note attached to it. The note is written in common and has a signet impressed into some wax. Meaning that the note was written by a noble.


Female Human Slayer 1 HP: 9/11 NL: 0 | AC 16/13/13 | F +2, R +5, W+1 | Per:+5, Init: +5 | Arrows: 39 | Daggers: 4

Are these members of Rath's gang or the other guys? Either way...

Garra spins towards the voice, a dagger in her hand and ready to be thrown. From the look on her face, it's obvious they caught her off guard.

Members of Rath's gang.

They quickly put their hands up, to show that they don't mean you any harm. "Garra, we just want to talk," one said. "We don't mean any offense."

"Sorry, I've not had a good time of it these past weeks," she says as she puts the knife away.

"How'd you get away that night? We were supposed to kill that bureaucrat, but everything went wrong. I thought whoever is was that laid that trap for us got everyone else but me," she tells them quietly as she settled back into her perch.

That's what they had told me anyway, right when they told me that if I didn't do as they said, I was dead. At least there's not a chance of Rath coming back, not from the way he was screaming.

Tower quickly reads the note.


M Half-Elf (Aerenal) Hedgewitch (TG) 1

Ilbryn comes up behind Tower some moments later. "What's going on?"

"A note tied to a brick, as a rather crude way of delivering a message, although an indubitably effective one at getting the attention of someone. Magic could be more accurate and effective, but can be traced much more easily. And now that I think about it, the brick could also be seen as a means to intimidation. Once again crude, but I believe that people fear heavy bludgeoning tools. And they fear sharp implements, and volatile alchemical substances as well, even when properly stored and handled, something that always struck me as rather foolish. Is it not the use, or rather misuse that one makes of a tool, that determines its dangers? There is no more inherent lethality in a brick than there is in me. Although that may not be a good comparison, since my lethality was intrinsic to my creation, I should think about it."


M Half-Elf (Aerenal) Hedgewitch (TG) 1

"That is correct, but there must always be something to be outraged about. Such is life, among the humans at least."

Tower:
The note is a threat to those in the library. They want a certain book for ransom, then they will return the commandant's daughter. But only if the tome containing the Genealogy of King Kaius is delivered at a certain address.

"Huh, fascinating. Whoever sent this note has apparently kidnapped the daughter of the commander, and will not return her unless the tome containing the Genealogy of King Kaius is delivered to them. Could they not have just walked here and asked for it, if it is in in the library?"


M Half-Elf (Aerenal) Hedgewitch (TG) 1

"I don't think they intend on returning it, and I don't imagine what they learn will be good for the rest of us. We must report this to the head librarian at once, and the Captain of the guard."


Female Human Slayer 1 HP: 9/11 NL: 0 | AC 16/13/13 | F +2, R +5, W+1 | Per:+5, Init: +5 | Arrows: 39 | Daggers: 4

Garra starts to feel uneasy as the two members of her old gang continue to say nothing.


Male Warforged Mageknight (Doomblade) 2 | HP 26/26 | AC: 21, T: 13, FF: 18 | Fort: +6, Ref: +3, Will: +5 | BAB: +2, CMB: +2, CMD: 15, M.Attack +7 [1d6+1], R.Attack +7 [1d6+1] | Init: +3 | Perception: +2 | Spell Points 6/6

"Let us do that, then."
Clutching the note, Tower heads towards the librarian's office.


M Half-Elf (Aerenal) Hedgewitch (TG) 1

Ilbryn follows Tower, at once amused at what the small warforged might say and puzzling out how this situation can be solved to the maximum benefit.

Note in hand, Dolos would be happy to show up at Garra's hideout if that suits her and the GM.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Suits me fine.

The librarian's office was built as a standard office. It was a little bigger than Earth's typical offices. The office was large enough to hold a desk and some filing cabinets. sitting at the head of the desk was a gnome.

"My I help you?" he asks.


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Approaching carefully, Dolos notices that Garra has company. In the guise of a homeless drunkard who has found a spot to rest for the night, he waits nearby, ready to intervenes if needs be.


Female Human Slayer 1 HP: 9/11 NL: 0 | AC 16/13/13 | F +2, R +5, W+1 | Per:+5, Init: +5 | Arrows: 39 | Daggers: 4

Works for me. I'm just waiting on the GM to respond to Garra's question here.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

I must be slipping.

"We got away easily enough," said one of her old teammates. "We slipped out after we killed the bureaucrat. You were just easier to catch. We tried to get you out of the Academy, but there was no way."


Male Warforged Mageknight (Doomblade) 2 | HP 26/26 | AC: 21, T: 13, FF: 18 | Fort: +6, Ref: +3, Will: +5 | BAB: +2, CMB: +2, CMD: 15, M.Attack +7 [1d6+1], R.Attack +7 [1d6+1] | Init: +3 | Perception: +2 | Spell Points 6/6

Tower's eyes glimmer as he notices the gnome and unleashes a torrent of words.
If there are any Russian speakers here, please forgive my Google Translate.

"О, мой, о, мне приятно встретиться с вами, сэр! Меня зовут Башня, я был личным телохранителем Высокого Биндера Штейльмана, надеюсь, вы слышали о нем. В этой академии невероятно приятно видеть гнома, я считаю, что вы крайне недопредставлены. Это может быть из-за отсутствия интереса к бою, однако, я помню, что Арканикс был переполнен ими. Ты был там? Плавающие башни невероятно впечатляющие, я упал с одного из них один раз, увлекательный опыт.
Но мы здесь не для того, чтобы сделать небольшой разговор, по крайней мере, не сразу, я бы не стал тебя беспокоить, хотя я был бы рад, если бы тебе понравился чат позже. Так или иначе. Раньше был кирпич, довольно неприметный предмет, обычно, поскольку в городе много кирпичей, что было примечательно, так это то, что этот кирпич был брошен через один из окон библиотеки, и в нем была заметка, в которой говорилось, что Генеалогия короля Кая должна быть доставлена ​​им в обмен на дочь командира, по-видимому, похищенного кем-то, кто бросил кирпич.
Я бы предложил использовать заклинания, чтобы найти девочку, или отправить связанные духов, чтобы исследовать, но это не мое место, чтобы решить это, а не прямо сейчас, поэтому мы пришли к вам с этой информацией, чтобы мы пошли и .. Каким должен быть наш следующий шаг, Ильбрин? Волонтер, чтобы спасти ее? Кажется довольно авантюрным."

He turns towards the half-elf and realizes his mistake. "Ah, do you speak Gnomish? I asked you what our next step should be. Volunteering to rescue her?"

Gnomish:
"Oh my, oh my, it is a pleasure to meet you sir! My name is Tower, I was the personal bodyguard of High Binder Steylmahn, hopefully you have heard of him. It is incredibly nice to see a gnome in this academy, I believe that you are woefully underrepresented. This could be because of a lack of interest in combat, however, I remember that the Arcanix was overcrowded with them. Have you been there? The floating towers are unbelievably impressive, I fell off one of them once, fascinating experience.
But we are not here to make small talk, at least not straight away, I would not bother you, although I would be delighted should you like a chat later. Anyway. Earlier on, there was a brick, a rather unremarkable thing usually, since there are many bricks in the town, what was noteworthy was that this brick was thrown through one of the windows of the library, and it carried a note, saying that the Genealogy of King Kaius needs be delivered to them, in exchange for the daughter of the commander, apparently kidnapped by whoever threw the brick.
I would suggest the use of spells to locate the girl, or sending bound spirits to explore, but it is not my place to decide that, not right now, so we came at you with this information in order to let us go and... what should our next step be, Ilbryn? Volunteer to rescue her? Seems adventurous enough."


M Half-Elf (Aerenal) Hedgewitch (TG) 1

"Well, I'd hardly say that is a goal for us alone. A contingent of guards, for sure, and the real knowledge must be prevented from falling into their hands. A magically-reproduced dupe book would be my suggestion."


Female Human Slayer 1 HP: 9/11 NL: 0 | AC 16/13/13 | F +2, R +5, W+1 | Per:+5, Init: +5 | Arrows: 39 | Daggers: 4

"Why? No one really ever cared what happened to me," Garra asks when they mention trying to get her out of the academy.

** spoiler omitted **...

"Hello, Tower the Tiny," said the gnome. "Yes, I have heard of the high binder and was wondering when you would show up. He happens to be my first cousin. Now, about this book. You can't have it."


M Half-Elf (Aerenal) Hedgewitch (TG) 1

"Yes, I don't think we should have it either. I was wondering if the library could quickly, magically create a passable dupe with false information. The real item should be under heavy guard. The increased guard could be on the pretense of the brick being thrown. If these folks want this information, it seems likely that we don't want them to do whatever they plan on doing with it."

Garra sighs settles back into the nook she'd always used when she needed to be alone.

"Sorry," she mumbles in apology, "I'm– I almost died today, and I'm wondering when some dark stranger is going to come up to me and say, 'The time has come for you to do our dirty work,' or something like that. I'm worried what the others will do when they find out how and why I'm at the Academy, and on top of all this, I'm attending classes and having to do investigations that are gonna get me killed."

She curls up tighter in the nook and shivers.

"I'm like a dancer on a razor. Too far one way or the other and I'm dead. I can't tell anyone else about it, and I don't know if I can run away."


Ifrit

Not sure if Kut is even there. Regardless I am around but don't have much to add


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

For the record, I also am paying attention!


Male Warforged Mageknight (Doomblade) 2 | HP 26/26 | AC: 21, T: 13, FF: 18 | Fort: +6, Ref: +3, Will: +5 | BAB: +2, CMB: +2, CMD: 15, M.Attack +7 [1d6+1], R.Attack +7 [1d6+1] | Init: +3 | Perception: +2 | Spell Points 6/6

By background, the Binder is dead.

"It's my pleasure to meet you, Sir. I, well, have no experience with subterfuge, so I'll let Ilbryn speak."


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

"Yes a copy is possible," said the gnome. "It would be rushed, and it should take 2 to 3 days. Less if we employ House Cannith in the copying."


M Half-Elf (Aerenal) Hedgewitch (TG) 1

"Given that a hostage is involved,. that might be how you want to play it. Consult the Commander if you are worried about payment as it's his kid on the line. And if Cannith quotes you too long, threaten the Commander's wrath by proxy."


Female Human Slayer 1 HP: 9/11 NL: 0 | AC 16/13/13 | F +2, R +5, W+1 | Per:+5, Init: +5 | Arrows: 39 | Daggers: 4

Um GM? No comment from Garra's friends, or Dolos for that matter?


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

Still here. Still paying attention. Ready to intervene if Garra needs a hand.

The others shivered. One of their gang members was killed. "Tell us who tried to kill you and we will get our revenge."

"Damien Dahrk, but I don't think that you'll want to tangle with him. He's... terrifying, and now he has some mystic artifact," she tells them.

"The best thing you two could do is stay away. This mess is just as likely to get you killed as it is me."

The gnome gets up and heads to the water closet.
