The Ambassador smiles sadly, "Suit yourself Doctor, however the offer remains open to you and anyone else who manages to sufficiently impress..." His eyes take in the crowd before tipping his hat, "I bid you all good day." And with that he leisurely strolled out almost as if he owned the place.

The meeting will break up shortly after, however the various NPCs are still there if you wish to ask any questions.

Unperturbed Skarbek replies, "I'm simply here to wish you well. I've been following your journal entries in the Miskatronic Press for some time now and I must say I've become something of an admirer... Despite operating on a shoestring you've had some remarkable successes. Just imagine what you could achieve if you'd come and work for us, Nalanda University has more or less unlimited funding and has fielded up to two hundred trained archaeologists alongside a small army of labourers. Imagine what you could achieve!"

Turning to Edwin, Skarbek favours him with a sardonic smile, "I wouldn't presume to know the mind of the Emperor in such matters, but it's entirely irrelevant Viscount Syneco is a consummate professional. The man is a force of nature, when he takes a task on it is as good as done."

Sense Motive DC 18:
There's clearly more to it than this, but he seems sincere.

Sense Motive DC 25:
As much as there's truth in what he says, he uses it as a weapon to distract and disguise his true intent - whatever that may be.

Kn: Geography DC 15:
Nalanda is the largest university town in Midderland and it’s university one of the main rivals to the Miskatronic University.

Before Dr Munroe can speak, the ambassador suddenly does an about turn and makes and expansive gesture as if welcoming an old friend, "Ahh the renowned Dr Munroe! I must congratulate your on the Kinkaku dig, the mummified remains of the high priest Xinjaa where quite the find! I trust he didn't cause you too much trouble? I suppose you did violate his tomb... Anyway of on another expedition, how exciting! Too bad your's will be the second survey of the land. You'll be able to confirm of course the findings of Viscount Syneco..."

Kn:Local DC 15 or Kn: History DC 15:
The Kinkakudig was Dr Munroe's most recent expedition, in which he found an extensive pre-sundering temple complex. The burials included the high priest of the dead god Amunsaea and all his clergy, unfortunately while dead they where not at peace and a good number of the expedition succumbed to their rotting curse before the undead could be sent onto the next life.

Kn: Nobility DC 22:
Viscount Syneco has a reputation as a ruthless privateer and explorer. He personally conquered several small islands, pacifying or driving off their inhabitants before presenting the newly annexed lands to the Kez crown. Rumour has it Syneco is driven by an impossible love for Princess Ardula. The crown would never condescend to allow her to marry a mere viscount and every time he asks for her hand in marriage Kez Marhatbarran III demands an even greater feat from Syneco.
