A young, gorgeous woman enters the tavern. There was just something unreal and eerie about her. Her face, somewhat luminous, had a pale tone to it. The eyes were a piercingly sharp shade of gray. Eyebrows were arched over the curve before dispersing onto the bridge of her danity nose. Plump, the lips had the strangest curl to them. This enchanting face was framed wavy, ebony-colored curls, each falling to her hips. Overall, she was truly an unearthly beauty.
"Greetings, I am here looking for some help and you look like a fine collection of adventurers that could be useful" she purrs, "I am Miranda d'Cannith and I represent House Cannith, who are looking to contract a group of adventurer's to help us recover a lost piece of information. If you are interested, please come see me." the woman continues.

So it seems there's 5 people around?
Harressh - Dragonborn sorcerer - striker
Varak - Half-Orc Barbarian (TWF) - striker
Kirska - Dwarven Battle Cleric - leader
Alex - Human Wizard - controller
Vistrathis - Githyanki Swordmage - defender
Sounds like a pretty good party, with one more spot open for sg's warlord when he's able to come join. I'm also fine with you jumping in now stonegod.
Note: This will be a decent length adventure, probably not as long as my other one, but this ain't a 3-4 month one either.

Cannith is the creator of the warforged and the lightning rails. The Mark of Making is the Dragonmark associated with their house. The symbol of the gorgon is stamped on all Cannith made goods. Most of their postwar revenue comes from the Fabricator's Guild and the Tinker's Guild.
[sblock=History DC15]
The Treaty of Thronehold was particularly devastating to House Cannith as it freed all of their warforged and shut down their Creation Forges.[/sblock]
[sblock=Streetwise DC20]
Rumours abound in Khorvaire that the House is on hard times, as well as rumours of a schism in the leadership have contributed to the decline of Cannith[/sblock]
[sblock=Streetwise DC25]
Merrix d 'Cannith is one of the trio battling for control of the House, himself a gifted inventor and located in Sharn. [/sblock]
