[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6286089, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN 06 THE DRUID SEGMENT 057 “THE DEAL ” 4/06/14 LHARVION 2, 999 They return to Yrlag with the gnome and six young men. Payment is made and the gnome is about to leave when Truth motions for him to wait. He then chases after the gnome whom is ignoring him. “I wish to talk to you.” says the artificer. The gnome looks at him. “Why?” “You WERE reading Xoriat. I wish to learn it myself.” The gnome at him in bewilderment. “Why? It’s the language of Chaos. Some say it is unsafe to understand. Some even say it leads to madness….”. he pauses as he thinks about what he just said…. “Course I’m not sure if that is true.” The gnome looks at him closer. “I know you don’t I?” The cat familiar peeks out of the robe to look at the warforged himself. His eyes dilate greatly in recognition. “I have not always gone by the name Truth. It is what I seek however.” “Me too! Only I like to draw it as maps.” “Would you teach me the language?” The gnome thinks about it a few times. He concentrates a great deal then asks- “What do I get in return?” Truth sets down his pack and withdraws a red glass rod. “This and where it came from.” The gnome looks at it closer. “Where did we meet before?” “In the university you toppled a shelf of books onto me.” Silence. “I ….ahhh…. have been around several toppled shelves. Which university?” “Morgrave. I was retrieving a book about the legendary dungeon builder Drogan for a professor named Geldem, Bonal Geldem. (anyone remember the very first session of the Creation Schema Storyhour?)” “Yes…. He studied artifacts. Did you know he was murdered in Sharn? Poor guy.” “Yes, well I was the librarian known as Books. I retrieved books, tomes and occasional scrolls for professors like you. It was during that collapse that I found a book that spoke about Xoriat. It’s in part why I am here.” The gnome looks closer, takes his glasses off and rubs them with his muddy sleeve and puts them back on, now the mud is swirled instead of on evenly. “What is the glass rod?” Asks the gnome fearing a trick. “From our experience, it is used like a key. It opens portals within a vast underground complex north east of Yrlag. If you teach me the language of Xoriat the key is yours and I can make a map for you so that you may go there yourself.” The gnome is uncertain. “Think of the glory to Morgrave.” The gnome smiles some. “Think of how much the students and facility will look up to you- the mapper of the vast underground halls of Yrlag- a never known about dungeon.” The cat familiar looks up to his master and sinks back in mewing quietly. Assimo smiles as he envisions it. “I think we can reach an agreement.” [/QUOTE]
