Free City Adventurers / Seeker Ring

[QBert]

Has anyone had a PC wear Ulavant's seeker ring and be seen by Khellek? My party was in Lazare's, one of them wearing the ring, and Khellek attempted to use the secret phrase. He of course got no response and succeeded on his Sense Motive when the PC tried to Bluff that they had just found the ring on the roadside. So he asked Tirra to find out what she could about the party. Early on they were recruiting in town to replace lost party members so I'm assuming her +8 Gather Information will allow her to find this out. Now that I have the Free City Adventurer stat blocks I'd like to stage some kind of follow-up of the encounter in Lazare's.

After Tirra finds out that they are exploring a cairn, what do you think the group would do? Search for the cairn on their own? Follow the PCs? Try to charm their way to the info? Tirra has already failed in her attempt to seduce a male elf in the party. However, Khellek could use charm person on an isolated PC. Since Tirra has no ranks in Hide or Move Silently, she wouldn't be good at tailing them. Does anyone have any ideas or have something that worked well in your campaign? Thanks.

Well, the Wizard in the party sported the ring after leaving the Cairn, and Khellek noticed it, gave him the "secret handshake" and knows he is a fraud. I told him he has noticed, in the following week, 2-3 more guys wearing that ring showing up. He is nervous. I think to start 3FoE, I will have an attempt on his life, by a seeker Rogue.

My questions are this, does Khellek play any further role, later on? I know Tirra does, as well as Auric. My PC's have befreinded Tirra, so I was thinking that perhaps she could aid them, and turn coat on Khellek. I would think Auric could be talked out of helping, if the PC decided he wanted revenge on Khellek for sending a few hitmen.

Some of the players met Khellek at Lazare's and spotted a similar ring on his finger. The Elf ranger was too afraid to show him the ring they found or get it out of his pocket so the entire Seekers plot sort of stopped there.

But it might get picked up again in the near future though...

Auric's Warband reappears in the Champions Belt. I had a pre-quel where this group already fought my players in a mock arena (non-lethal) combat and trounced the party so the party already hates them.

My characters found the ring but found out about the Seeker organization (they were told to keep knowledge of the Whispering Cairn away from the Warband) so they have kept the ring hidden away.

They know that Auric's Warband investigated the Stirgenest Cairn but have not followed up on that point. I already have this group at 10th level so they see the party as beneath them and have in fact already left for the Free City to get there in advance of the Champion's Belt games.

IF Khellek saw the ring I would probably have him approach one of the characters individually to find out where the ring was discovered.

My wizard wore the ring and when Keleck was in a dragon chess tournament against another PC I made a intimidate roll and suceeded giving my buddy the +2 for the win.
Keleck asked me all kinds of questions about where I found it but I wouldnt tell him anything about the carin. We eventually settled our diffrences because he didnt want to fight a PC as evil as I was.
He left town and the party died in the greyhawk adventure. None of us were real sad about the TPK, heck the barbarian taunted the wizard just so the npc would kill him.
