[QUOTE="Malvoisin, post: 2846201, member: 40128"] Still smiling, Arakk answers, "Excellent questions, both, and the answer to the first depends on the second." Turning first to Aeligim, he says, "To be frank, I have no idea. Rumors say that the cloak was fashioned by a demon prince from the hide of a pit fiend, and offered as a gift to his lover. Zarlag's notes indicate only that it is powerful, but no further details are offered." "As to what it's worth..." Arakk now returns his attention to Harval, "that all depends on what it does. Clearly, if the cloak is in Cold Stones Keep, and you return with it, it will need to be independently appraised of its powers and valued accordingly. I will pay your group the full value of the cloak, once its powers have been determined." Arakk laughs. "This lot? Why, the same way I found you, good sir. Good advertising! Ruined keeps, inhospitable swamps, peril to be faced, treasure to be won... Adventurers always come calling for this sort of business, it's in their blood. The very fact that you all sit here before me is proof of that." Arakk shrugs, "Who knows, a remnant of some lost empire perhaps? I haven't seen anything in Zarlag's writings to answer that question. But, yes, it does seem that the keep is abandoned. Or, at least, it was when Zarlag visited it years ago...although his exploration was not exactly what one might call thorough." "Excellent! Our first willing soul! This young lady..." Arakk's voice trails off and his eyes narrow as he leans forward to peer more carefully at Gnro's hooded face. "Hmm...there are no Wolf Nomads in this room, perhaps you might consider lowering your hood? If these others are to be your travelling companions, it won't do to try to keep a secret such as this. You are safe here." [/QUOTE]
