[QUOTE="megamania, post: 5019748, member: 9255"] JOHN PLAY “Play To Win” SEGMENT 003 “Basic Homework” Rhaan 22nd, 996 Sharn, Breland The Dancing Dragon in Upper Menthis Plateau John has always liked this tavern. It was always open with many people within it. He knew and trusted the owner and managers. He was even known by name by many of the dancers here. But he liked it the most for its food and the namesake of the tavern. A 20ft by 30ft stained glass window of a golden dragon that seemed to be dancing. It always brought a smile to his face. Seeing his war time informant made his body more than smile. “Jasper, I see you are looking good. Very Very good.” The scantly dressed ½ elf smiled and sat down across from him. The perfume (magical and expensive) enchanted him as it always did. The semi clear silken strands that covered little of her athletic form did the rest. “John, Baby Dear, What brings you here? Feeling Lonely?” “Not tonight. As much as I enjoy seeing you I came hoping for information.” “Oh Pooh. Still ever the Lantern.” “Correction. Hero for Hire.” Hahahahahaha “You really took that nickname and ran with it. Alright, so what are looking to know about?” “I have been asked to locate an Aundairian. I suspect he is a war criminal. His name is Challa ir’Yanger.” “Yanger is a very common name in that country. Was he military for sure?” “I suspect so. Maybe even a Royal Eye. I know I have heard the name but I can not place it.” “Have you ever heard of the Cutthroat of Calbert?” John listens to Jasper’s description of the man known as the Cutthroat of Calbert. Much of it comes back to him as she describes the man and his infamous namesake. Suddenly much of the story his sister (if she is even his sister) gave him makes sense. “Thankyou Jasper. How can I ever repay you?” “I can think of a few things you can do to me but that will have to be another night Hero for Hire.” A mischievous grin and silent laugh escapes the alluring ½ elf as she says it. Two hours later, John returns to his apartment in the new Healer’s tower also in the Menthis Plateau. The Dragonmarked halflings bought the building at the close of the war and rebuilt it much of the top levels. Breland’s war heroes, maimed and mentally scarred, live here under the watchful eye and healing hands of the small people with big hearts and bigger bank accounts. He uncovers the permanent light globe by the door and sits down heavily on his cushioned bench. “THE Cutthroat of Calbert.” He repeats quietly as if spoken aloud was an evil act. “Well, she is paying good money and its been a while since I visited the great woods. Maybe I’ll met a happy and horny Fey woman.” He silently considers this adventure to himself before he packs his traveling bags and clothes then falls asleep. It is morning before he knows it.
