Calardanion takes the ring, looking at it curiously and showing it to people.
"Odd hiding place for something so valuable."
Nim watched what Calardanion was doing and urged caution, saying "Wait. Let's make sure that thing is not enchanted..."
Nim softly chanted the words to a cantrip that would allow her to visualize any magic the ring might, or might not have.

It glows a baby blue, indicating that it's enchanted with abjuration magic.
Kel sighed at her own lack of perception. I need to up my game, she thought to herself.
She then proceeded to check if there were any secret doors or similar hidden things in the walls.
It's a ring of shielding, upon wearing the ring the wearer is protected by a magical shield as per the spell. :)
Excuse me for not realizing that your spellcraft roll wasn't included. :)

You do find a secret door. Opening it reveals jewels. There are assorted gems here, equalling about 1,500 gp in worth.
"Quite a stash for a librarian," Kel commented as she directed the others' attention to her find.
Looking at the items he ponders out loud These might be treasures used to entreat the powers of the Lower Planes for their servitude.
religion check to see if he knows if these items might be used for summoning spells or purposes.
1d20+12 religion check to see if he knows if these items might be used for summoning spells or purposes.
Yes, they are used as payment for denizens of the lower planes to entreat servitude.
Calardanion nods, and asks Nim: "Are you able to identify what it does?"
"The ring is a ring of shielding" replied Nim, "A boon for the wielder if they get into a fight."
No, there isn't.
"So what next?" asked Nim, "This was disturbing, but it seems we've dealt with one problem. I wonder if there's more issues here, or if we should push on to Myth Drannor?"
Taking a look at the valuables he nods his head in understanding. I am correct, these are used to summon foul denizens from the Lower Planes, it looks like she just summoned imps but I wonder if there are other things she could summon listed somewhere like in her spellbook or other wrtings.
"I wonder where she got the money to fund this little operation," Kel said as she gathered the jewels into a pouch. "And there's stil the question of the mysterious 'Sleepers'," she added.
"We will investigate the 'sleepers'," says the constable.
Now the initial excitement was over Nim considered for a moment if the term 'sleepers' meant anything in particular to her.

Nim mentioned to the constable, "Sir it's probably obvious but the librarian's words imply there's other followers of Bane around. Please be careful."
To the others she asked, "So what now then?"
To the others she asked, "So what now then?"
"Well, we're still on our way to Myth Drannor," Kel pointed out. "Shouldn't we continue on our way? Maybe find a caravan to join that's going in that direction?"
"We will investigate the 'sleepers'," says the constable.
"Would it be possible for you to write a letter of recommendation on our behalf, please?" Kel asked the constable. "Some of us are seeking employment in Myth Drannor and are therefore in need of character references from a local person of authority."

"I can," he says. "When do you need it?"
Nim chipped in, saying "Thank you sir. In the next day or so, if possible please."
Nim chipped in, saying "Thank you sir. In the next day or so, if possible please."
"I'll work on it tonight," the Constable says. "Perhaps they will deputize you to find these sleepers."
"That would be helpful." Calardanion comments.
The cleric will thank the constable for all of his aid.
"Thank you," Kel said to the constable.
"In the meantime, have a stay at the inn," said the Constable. "One thing about this shrine that it's connected to the sleeper agents."
"In the meantime, have a stay at the inn," said the Constable. "One thing about this shrine that it's connected to the sleeper agents."
The deputy gives you directions to the inn. "It's just south of the library and located in a great oak," he explains. "There are stairs leading up to the common room. There you will find an elven bar offering good wine and ale. It's just forty paces south of here."

"That sounds excellent," Kel said with some relish. "I'm already looking forward to enjoying the libations there!"
Nim nods and heads off in the direction of the big oak.
Nim climbed the stairs and walked into the bar where she ordered a glass of elverquisst before selecting a table. As she savoured her drunk she briefly studied anyone else in the bar.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
You notice a stranger in forest green sitting at his own table. Most people give him wide of berth.
Hoping to be subtle, Nim indicates the stranger with a slight head gesture and a slight quizzical look. Hopefully somebody more empathic than her could determine if they had a situation on their hands.
Kel followed Nim into the drinking establishment and reserved a table for the group.
When Nim returned from the bar with a drink in hand and indicated the unknown person in green, Kel looked briefly in that direction.
Curious herself about the green-clad stranger, she went over to the bar to order her own glass of elverquisst and ask the bartender about the man in question.
"It looks like that chap in green isn't too popular with your other guests. Who is he?" Kel asked the bartender as she paid for the drink.

Wow, good rolls. You recognize him as Deleran, the elvish ranger. And heir to the throne.
I forgot to add a check to determine if the bartender is lying/bending the truth. Again, not expecting any fantastic results here ...
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Again a good roll. He's not lying.
Kel returned to the table where the rest of the party were seated.
"He's Deleran, one of the rangers and the heir to the throne," she muttered quietly to Nim and the others. "But I don't remember much of his history from our ... point of view."
"Good job." murmured Nim, "Not sure I remember much about him either, he was after my time..."
He asks if anyone is familiar with Deleran's story.
Know history
Calardanion thinks back to what has heard and read of the history.

"Well, it sounds like we should at least try to make friends with him," Kel suggested quietly to the rest of the party.
He nods. It might be prudential to do so. he says, agreeing with Kel.
* The bard in the group can entertain the crowd.
* You can order food to eat.
* You can order some wine for your group and Deleran can present himself.
* You could get beds to rest for the evening.
* One of you can divine what is up with the Sleepers. This would mean using magic, of course.
* One of you can also divine what your trip to Myth Drannor could be like.
* And yes, one of you can introduce yourself to Deleran.
The cleric/wizard will rise and go sit down next to Deleran.
Greetings child of the Seladrine, you seem...troubled. A burden shared in a burdened lifted.
