@ Torsk, You can tell that they believe what they are telling you. In response to Ijen, Jaldan shrugs it off: Well, Torsk brought in Xaven and that prompted a response, a bit excessive but now that we know they are Chelish, it is not so hard to believe. Mah, All them Northys all look the same to me... Ulfen, Galt whatever... hahaha! Of course, Scepter, overtly being against us. Well, Main thin is getting to the pyramids of Ascension first before whatever their sinister machinations are come to fruition....
Jaldan jumps in I suggest you either go back to the Crook Bearer and get the mask from him nicely or take it from him. The Paracount obviously WILL steal it from him when he finds out who has it. she then turns to the prisoner. You should probably have asked this question Where are you supposed to meet up with the Paracount after you successfully complete your mission?
Kirsteen and Khaldrun Spoiler:
You find 1 flask of alchemist's fire, 1 unholy water, 1 holy water and a cure light wounds. The other two are not magical. Going to see the Arch Docent may be a good idea, he could be persuaded to let the Lodge borrow the mask as long as we provide the museum with a couple items from the tomb
Alistair Spoiler:
Imivus was a famous Osirionologist from
Cheliax. His written work now rests in the Grand Athenaeum (museum) of Cheliax. Aucturn is the eleventh planet from
Khaldrun Spoiler:
the pharaoh of Numbers was
both an astronomer and an architect. his passion was his study of the distant planet aucturn, and some legends claim aucturn inspired the magic that fueled the pharaohs’ binding pact and its influence infused the design of the pyramid that now entombs the bodies of the four pharoahs. Are any of you going to check what liquid is in the flasks?
Later, By all means, We will start interrogating him after you leave. winking at Kirsteen, [b] You guys need to start hitting the pavement to find that mask.
Scepter, that little rat bastard, he disappeared about a year ago and we haven't heard from him since, except he may be working with the Paracount. We didn't know the Paracount was in Osirion last time we heard he had been in Katapesh. turning to Cooper. Alistair being one of our officers means you need to read our communiques thoroughly or at all. Had we known about him, we would have informed you. She then turns to the halfling. Who is this little bugger?
She scratches her chin, then she looks earnestly, This is an opportunity that comes maybe once or twice a century, there should be lots of potential threats. Normally, we have our hands full with the Aspis Consortium but they are usually more long term profit oriented.. but I do smell something sinister, my magix tell me something may be out of place but I can't put my finger on it... Anyway, keep your heads on a swivel and everything should be fine... Without further questions, I bid you adieu...
She paces a little bit. And she explains to you what the secret coding gestures for identification and then turns to Khaldrun: You mistake my meaning. I am not saying you need to buy anything at all. But there may be items there that may be beneficial for the expedition. Make no mistake, once speaking with Raegos, exploring the Ascension pyramids is extremely important and the Lodge will help you afterwards. Cooper can attest to our thoroughness. I was giving a in game hint or was I?
Cooper Spoiler:
You know that there are illegal antiquities auctions in Sothis and the really big ones aren't very often, but lots of people attend and its by invitation only... As for Mithral Scab, you have never met, but you do that the Scab is one of the best agents of Krenshar and she is very secret about her agents, Sothis is a dangerous place, as you know. The lodge has acquired you all invitations in a discreet manner where noone knows that you actually work for us, which is how we will keep you, Raegos and the Scab safe. Discretion is key in this city. You surely have enough gold between the lot of you to get your hands on something important. By the by, keep your eyes out for fakes.
No that is what the agent's code name is... The meet will be at a discreet auction tomorrow in the Malhitu Bazaar. There are some very interesting antiquities there so keep your eye out for things that may be able to help you on the expedition the pyramids. Plus you know the drill, standard 10% for the lodge and please bring us back a useful map or maybe a diary.
Oops, I misread your post... it was 5am and I needed to run but may as well run with it. The whole guard thing was a bit weird too... "Hahahahaha! Indignant... I like it. Most of our fellow wizards especially the human kind are involved in the studying aspect. And would back down lightly from a challenge... hmmm.... good! Turning to Lanfear,
After everyone sits down in her office, she looks around the room and says, You have all most likely heard about the revelation regarding the shifting sands, this has revealed the tombs of the four pharoahs of the ascension. My agents have located the only survivor of the previous expedition which was over 50 years ago, however, the Scab is... deep cover. Why I contacted you is simple. I need you to make contact with Mithral Scab and speak with Raegos about his previous expedition.
In response to Torsk's query, I have been Captain here for about five years and in Sothis about ten total. I have done most of my tours in Garund She looks at Khaldrun a little annoyed and says Son, the spellbook which you would be able to benefit from is in my home where I leave the junior spellcasting material. You are an insolent little man aren't you? But I digress... Two sphinx statues flank the approach to the main portico
She leads you through the doors which magically open with a twitch of her nose and then through the common room and finally to her office. A small oil lamp reveals a large wooden desk in this office.
She orders a drink of water for Kirsteen and then says, Patience is a virtue to Cooper. That old thing, I got that while I was a Venture Lieutenant in Azir, we were looking for some evidence on why religion was outlawed their but I was bushwacked by a dire scarab and it cut me.. that must've been 40 years ago.... Hahahahah!
Broken tusk? Jaldan looks at the half-orc and says "You must be the student of Jamarl, he has told me much about you through his letters" She then claps and then a servant girl runs over to them. Ale and a raki, please! Torsk [spoiler] you notice she has a slight hardly noticeable scar on the inside of her left elbow.
El Kapitain, made a mistake in his background .... :) After hearing the commotion, the tall slender elf wizardress with black hair and copper skin wearing a white dress walks over to the front gate and says, "Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, you should not be upset at someone trying to do their job properly, which is something that Cooper can definitely appreciate." She turns to the guard woman and says "Good Job! But you shouldn't question the Captain." She then puts on a big smile and turns back to the group, "Follow me, we will conduct the meeting in my office. Would you like anything to eat or drink?" feel free to rp with her You follow her through a large garden where sycamore trees dominate this central courtyard. Strung between them, a wooden framework
