Description:
Questor stands 4'1" tall and weighs 77 pounds. He is slender with piercing
bright blue eyes that shine out from his dark face. His hair is raven black
and most days he sports two days worth of stubble on his face. His long
hair is kept in check by his gleaming silver Circlet (of authority). His
dagger has a long, slender, wavy blade and its hilt is set with rhinestones.

Background:
Questor (at least he claims that's is his real name but he never
offeres a surname to go with it), was born and raised in the
halfling communities not too far from Karameikos and
Specularum. Upon coming of age, he moved to Specularum
intending to ply his arcane talents for fun and profit. He was
making a decent living using his talents to redecorate homes,
repair pots and pans, rid houses of rodents, etc. when he
heard about the Swords of Darokin looking for talent. He
immediately applied and was accepted. [Stolen from Rhun's
post] "And immediately had to flee for his life with the
half-orc Vrashek, after pissing off the Veiled Society!

Insight

Adventurer
The map room is a large 10ft x 20ft space. The entrance is along the "long" wall. Opposite the entrance is a single shelf filled with all sorts of maps and cartographical art objects - stylized maps, mapping tools, compasses, sextants, and so forth.

The owner's prized possession appears to be a large cloth map of the "known world" - it includes the continent of your homelands, plus outlying island chains and small landfalls on nearby continents. From your brief appraisal, this map would have to be the most complete of its kind and was crafted with the utmost skill and care.

You note a number of scroll cases lying on the shelf. Many of these are very old and sealed with royal crests and those of merchant houses that you readily recognize.

As expected, of course, there's an odd-looking clay vase, painted black and orange, sitting prominently among the other treasures.

OOC: Vrashek is still entertaining the nobles so that nobody gets suspicious. Somebody else needs to take the lead here.

Skaros sniffs at the halfling's indecision (he know magic well enough that you did not need to maintain that ritual that "kept him in place") walks up and takes the urn. Anything that happened next would simply need to be burned and or intimidated out of the way.
OOC: I'll fix this problem. Or get us all killed. Which I guess fixes it a different way.
