Drel clears his throat after you finish introducing yourselves. "As you know, Venture-Captain Dreng has history of waking agents in middle of night with emergency mission," he begins, "so you should have known daytime meeting in office was too good to be true. The Venture-Captain wishes for you to meet him in front of Pig's Paunch tavern in the Docks. Here is map. Go meet Dreng. Of course, is raining," he observes, smiling sardonically.
Greetings, Tahonikepsu, keeper of wisdom. I have heard of you, although much of my time has been spent farther afield recently and I had not heard of the changes in Amenopheus' job description. I am pleased that he remains involved, as my loyalty is to him for the services he rendered to me long ago. While I was a slave in Nidal, agents of the Sapphire Sage liberated me while recovering several magical secrets of shadow-casting from my master, and I have served the Society in his name ever since. If his order is growing in prominence once more, I will be very pleased to aid it, and you.
(posting as Drel, halfling shadowcaster, since Venture-Officers can't post under aliases) Amenopheus, As my debt to you transcends mere national affiliation, I will of course continue to collaborate with you. Knowing that there are other "jewelled sages" intrigues me, and I wonder both what knowledge they keep, and why they have remained hidden for so long. You can count on my support. For myself, being free of the shackles of a national interest appears to be a blessing in disguise. Much of our effort over the past year have been focused on what amounts to a personal errand for a political figure, and not true exploration. Being free to follow where discovery leads and share our knowledge without political interference will surely lead us to greater knowledge. I wish you well in your quest, and I hope to see you again when the Society sends me once more to the sands of Osirion. |
