Here is my submission.
Where is the damn thing, I know I left it in here... A middle aged dark haired woman digs around under her bed in a fashionable Waterdeep apartment overlooking the bay. Marth, MARTHA! Did you move my pack, I am sure it was in here. A ruddy faced halfling woman pokes her head around the door. Madam, you know your broher was very clear, there is to be no more running off, your duties here to the Alliace, she cuts her off, Bugger my brother and to botheration with the Alliance! The Thayans are on the move again and who knows what they have found or woken up on that damn glacier. Now, get my PACK! I cannot go hiking into the wilderness without provisions.
Gathering her equipment the woman heads downstairs muttering, No, Mulmasters circle is no good, the place doesnt exist any more, the Zhents, I think not. Maybe Phlan, thats probably close enough. She strides into a circular room lit by shafts of sunlight from several high windows. The halfling woman silently hands her a backpack as she enters. What should I tell your brother My Lady? She scowls, Tell him, oh bother, nevermind, just tell him I've gone and send a message to Laeral. I should be back within the tenday I hope...
With that she sweeps away a rug, revealing the outline of a teleportation circle inscribed into the floor with runes of silver and gold. She adds several more notations and a shimmering portal appears floating in mid air. Be good Martha she shouts as she hops through.
