[QUOTE="talien, post: 3120892, member: 3285"] [b]The Senator's Seal - Prologue[/b] “Well, at least it’s better than Freeport.” Vlad stood at the prow of the Shrike, staring out at Grand Coryan. After the assassination attempt, Captain Baldric was eager to leave town for a while. He took them up immediately on an offer to visit Grand Coryan. “Senator Okpara’s note said a ‘mutual associate’ recommended us to him,” said Dril. “I wonder who.” “Quintus, of course,” said Ilmarė. There was a hint of admiration in her voice. “Being a legionnaire has its advantages.” The capital city was a bustling hive of activity as half of the population tried to sell something to the other half. “I’ve never met this Quintus,” said Dril. “Who is he?” Ilmarė’s expression flickered with surprise at the inquiry. Her icy exterior quickly returned. “An acquaintance,” she said coolly. “Quintus Aurelius Ignatius served under Senator Tensen-Balin. He also led an attack on Ymandragore.” Dril looked at the Elorii sideways. “Quintus sounds like a good man to have around in a pinch.” Vlad chimed in. “He is. I’ve fought at his side before.” Correctly interpreting Ilmarė’s demeanor, Dril avoided the subject after they disembarked. “I’ve done some research on Okpara. He is a senator of the Toranesta province and not particularly well-liked.” “What senator is?” asked Ilmarė. Dril had never been to Grand Coryan before but was curious about it. Altherians looked upon Coryan with a mixture of admiration and disdain. Their efficiency and organization was undeniable, but all of it was bent towards war--a waste of Altheres’ gifts. After a few discreet inquiries to locate the Senator’s villa, they arrived at Okpara’s home. His aide showed them into a chamber adorned with many plush and ornate cushions. “Please, make yourself at ease,” said the aide. “I hope this pays well,” said Vlad to Dril. “We went through a lot of trouble in Freeport without much to show for it.” Vlad’s bruises from the beating he suffered at the hands of the sailors in One-Eyed Jack’s Stand were only starting to fade. “Speak for yourself,” said Ilmarė. She wore converted purple leather armor emblazoned with a yellow sign on the center. “Are you sure it’s a good idea to wear that armor in public?” asked Vlad. “Isn’t that the symbol of the Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign?” “This, from the Milandisian who wears painted over Nierite armor?” Vlad coughed. “Point taken.” Behind them, Dril idly stroked the yellow sign seared into the purple boots he wore. But he kept it to himself. [/QUOTE]
