[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 7476828, member: 813"] Noon has passed as you arrive at the home of Keleri Deverin. The house steward greets you pleasantly and escorts you to a sitting room, a room with several stuffed chairs, a sofa and two lounges. One by one four people arrive in the room sitting or standing, admiring the small book shelf of fiction or the knick-knacks and baubles on the other shelves. At around one, Keleri enters and greets each of you personally. She keeps the conversation short and after a few moments says, "Let's go to the dining room." In the dining room, a formal room, the table is set such that there is no chair at either head of the table. One side has four chairs to the other's two, set somewhat apart. She heads to the far side and indicates the four chairs are for you to sit in. Once you are seated, entering from another door is two men-at-arms between which, walks a goblin. "This is Elkran Snarklesnit," Keleri says. "He will be accompanying you on your mission if accept it." Keleri sits. The men-at-arms flank the door as Elkran walks up to the table and sits at the seat she is indicating for him, next to her but not too close. She indicates you should sit, if you haven't done so. "I was going to serve lunch first, but I am impatient. "Last night my basement was broken into by some goblins. They took some meaningless heirlooms and some coins. But more importantly, the stole a blessed jewel I was to deliver to my cousin, the mayor of Sandpoint. It is to be featured in Sandpoint's Swallowtail Festival next week as part of a dedication ceremony for the recently completed Cathedral there.
