[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7174070, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN: BEYOND NEW WATER 01 WORK COMMUTE SEGMENT 094 “PASSAGE INTO ELDEEN: PRELUDE” 7/18/17 OLARUNE 10, 1000 SHARN, BRELAND The half-elf quietly strolls through the public hallway of the Durran Tower at about mid level. He stops and looks at a notice on the wall and quietly says “Hurrm” before starting off again. Oddly he turns at the end of the hallway to access stairs leading up instead of walking out onto the open bridge connecting to the next tower and a Sky Coach landing spot. He walks past a series of sculptures (some damaged by vandalism) and pauses near the top as if waiting for someone or something. Then he continues on to a new hallway.

At the 78th level he steps off and looks about both ways before setting off. Shortly he comes to a door marked “ ART 238 “. He looks the door over before knocking and reaching for the knob. He steps in and finds a rather strange looking warforge. It is tall with two pairs of arms. “Tyson Murray…. Exactly on time. Excellent.” States the warforged. Warforged are hard to place due to accent. The half-elf guesses it is ex-Cyre but it really doesn’t matter. “I am.” The Master Inquisitive states as he looks about with his eyes only. Table, two chairs, two shelves, plant. “I wish to hire you for a job.” “No.” “no…?!?
