Finishing her glass and pouring another she continued, "How did you fare Falto?"

Falto spread his arms. ”Oh well, you know, we found plenty of unique stuff. But if you want to see them, I COULD take you up to my suite?” He leered at Inferis.

His Nexian Summoner snorted and choked on his beer.
”Quiet you!” commanded Falto, slapping the back of his head.

With all your success it seems only right that drinks are on you this time around."

”Yes! Drinks all around!” Falto said, sitting back down at his table. He may or may not have been aware of the free drinks with a meal policy the house had.

Cerastes wrote:
"What have you heard of the other groups?”

”Bah! They tell us nothing! They’re jealous! “ He complained. "Ain't that right boys!" he called out. The rest of the Cryptfinders, a more disreputable crew you would need to find a pirate ship on, gave him a various response from mumbled yes to hearty assent.

Cerastes wrote:
”And anything yet about what the next exploration areas will be?"

”Naw. You know those priests; they’re really proud about ‘playing fair’ and choosing by lottery.” Falco continued to grouse. ”Say, who was that dish with you earlier? She looked like she needs some comforting…” He leered.


Male Human

Seeing you come in, Falto comes up to you like a long lost friend, throwing his arms around both Cerastes and Rosalind.
"Cerastes my brother!" He yelled in your ear drunkenly. "Who's the new dish?" he said, leering at Rosalind.

”Hello again Jade Ravens! Oh, and you Savage Krakens too. “ It said.
Now that you can see it more clearly, you see it is an image of Vanthus Vanderboren!
”By now you have noticed Lavinia’s absence from your little beach party. Sorry about that, but she’s family and doesn’t deserve what needs to happen.
“I’m afraid your safe little harbor and resupply base there our parents secured just won’t do. “

He holds up what looks like a large black marble.

Int check DC14:

It looks like a small version of the black pearl weapon you found fragments of; the 'savage tide' device that twisted a full two square miles of jungle into a little bit of the Abyss.

”To that end, I’ve left a little sample of my patron’s power. As soon as this seed has opened up, that whole island will be transformed into the future of the world! But I don’t need to tell you, you’ve already seen a sample of it back at that little cove outside of Port Sasserine. What was it called?
“Ummm… Well nevermind. Enjoy what’s left of your little lives!”
He said, then his image winked out.

Sense Motive DC15:
At Annie's outburst, something dark and complex crosses Vanthus' face; but he recovers quickly.

Vanthus grins down at you.
"Now, now; no need to worry about the family. I'm here now, and we certainly don't need the likes of you."

The stone lid begins to grind close, the overcast daylight beginning to narrow and dim.

"And give my regards to Penkus! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..."

The stone lid grinds shut with a thump of finality, leaving you in absolute blackness.

"You all be careful; he's got six guys with him too. Dockyard thugs, knife men; nothing you can't handle. But... be careful of him. There's something really wrong with him."

With that, he slinks out the back door.


Male Human

He also draws you a quick sketch of the complex itself.


Male Human

"OK, here's the map to find the smugglers complex."

He draws you
THIS map.


Male Human

"I'll be good! Just... keep him away from me." He said, glancing at Dgrim.


Male Human

The half-elf cringes, carefully keeping Annie between him and Dgrim.
"No, no, I'm good. No need to bother the Watch. My time is yours."
