[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6211310, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN 02 THE BODY SEGMENT 017 “TRUTH’S GAMBIT” 10/02/13 EYRE 15, 999 The adventurers have returned from the swamps and word quickly spreads about their success. This makes things both harder and easier for Truth to sneak away from his teammates. There are many more eyes watching him now as he steps out of the common room they have rented from the Frog’s Leap. But there are many more distractions to the group including Tom and RAF whom are suspicious of the warforged. He quietly moves down the stairs and waves a hello to the tavern keeper and his wife. He goes outside onto the maze like docks and series of bridges that make up Yrlag. It is late evening. The warforged artificer walks down the docks taking in the activities of the local merchants and returning fishermen. He pauses at an alleyway between two small buildings. He looks both ways then steps into it. “The world is coming to an end!” calls out a warforged wearing a wooden plaque on his chest. A well-dressed human steps out of an alleyway and pauses at the sight of the warforged. “Great evil is in the swamps. It grows in power every day!” it calls out. Zolan Keth has heard of this homeless and possibly insane warforged. His name is 9s. Rumor has it he was severely damaged in the war and ran away to the Shadow Marches…. Still unrepaired from a mental trauma. Zolan feels for him. He almost pities him actually. “It is coming! It is coming for us. Coming for all of us.” It turns suddenly and stares face to face with the human scholar “It is coming for YOU!” If it startles or bothers him, he doesn’t show it. He passes the warforged as it continues to call to him. After ten minutes of walking he enters a better section of town and goes to a tavern named “The Gypsy Rose”. He walks in and climbs the stairs until he reaches the top floor. He knocks on the door named as “4”. He hears a faint “come in”. And enters. Inside is a beautiful woman dressed in glittering silver and platinum. “You found the place easily I trust.” “Yes. As always, you gave very good instructions my lady.” Zolan closes the door and walks to her. She smiles and gently touches his hand. She makes eye contact that Zolan is both exiting and also makes him nervous. Emotions are still hard for him. “Have you found a reliable source for exploring the swamps yet?” “Yes. I have a strong group of good intentioned adventurers to aid in our quest and even a descent, though expensive, pilot.” “I wish I could go with you. It sounds so exciting.” “You could.” “For reasons I cannot even begin to explain you know I cannot. Only you can locate the ruins I seek. Together we can find the clues and Prophesies that will unlock the Hidden truth.” She sits down on a soft chair and looks up to him. “Just be careful Truth. The swamps are dangerous….
