[QUOTE="Ghostknight, post: 1443727, member: 15338"] The last course is eaten with gusto and many burbs (musical and otherwise). Gerohg stands and addresses all of you. [COLOR=Yellow]I trust you have all eaten your fill and enjoyed the meal. The [I]music[/I] around the table would seem to indicate that the food was enjoyed! Now for why you were invited here tonight. Recently some information has come to light that needs to be investigated, but I will let Telim elaborate.[/COLOR] Gerohg sits, smiles and Telim and indicates to him to stand. Nervously he does, wringing his hands, clearing his throat and eventually starting to speak, in a surpriingly clear and powerful voice considering how nervous he appears. [COLOR=Teal]Some years ago scrolls were brought to the temple for investigation, several of these revealed new magics which could be used to completely seal off a city and cut it off from the rest of the world. It was believed that these were theoretical, and I have long studied these scrolls to see if anything practical could be gathered to aid in defending our own city. Small gains have neem made, but nothing of real import. Now, we have evidence that at least one city may be hidden in this way. A patrol found a man, near death, grievously wounded and suffering from some unknown disease. Delirious he cannot tell us much, his disease is slowly destroying his remaining mental faculties and all we have discerned is that he comes from a city that sounds significantly larger than Tumil, is completely hidden and within a few days travel. He has managed to draw a simple map, it does not tell us much but it should lead to the city. We need to find this city. They have magics that could help us. Also, if this man is anything to go by their defenses may be failing, he left the city which, if built according to the scrolls in our possession, should have been completely cut off and impenetrable from both inside and out. If the city exists they must be warned and, hopefully, convinced to trade their knowledge with us.[/COLOR] Quickly he takes his seat again, resuming the investigation of his hands, nervousness apparent again now that he has finished talking. Gerohg stands. [COLOR=Yellow]You have heard what Telim has said. The Temple of Mithlond has approached the city to undertake an expedition to see if this city does exist and to initiate contact if it does. They feel that they are understaffed and undermanned, unable to undertake such a task. You may have guessed why you are here. You are the ones that we would like to perform this task. You have all been chosen for good reasons, Sychella and Gor for their trade and travel knowledge, Argentus to go with them to help quell any suspicions at a half-drow and minotaur appearing uninvited on their door step, Racid will be there to asist Gor in the protection of the group and to give some official city presence, although not voice, to the expedition, and Brother Farlor, opefuly his calming presence will asist in any negotiations and help to establish our intentions of goodwill.
