[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7179003, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN: BEYOND NEW WATER 01 WORK COMMUTE SEGMENT 096 “PASSAGE INTO ELDEEN: PRELUDE PART III” 7/18/17 OLARUNE 12, 1000 SHARN, BRELAND Eleven adventurers. Many talents and skills involved. The group with his daughter, Gussa, looks suspicious at best. IF this mission is undertaken, more information will be required. A soft knock is heard at the door. It startles him. Three of the twelve steps are loosened and warped to creak. The person at this door is floating, incorporeal while traveling the stairs and landing or……. “Come in- it’s not locked.” But he places his hand on the repeating crossbow hidden under his table and a trigger switch on the floor that activates a pollen pepper spray that causes most to cry and sneeze to the point of being helpless. The door opens and a woman dressed in black leather armor steps in. Gentle steps that place her feet in a way to dodge or charge easily. The leather is pristine, magical, the trench coat shows subtle signs of weight. Her eyes move about locating details and possible foes much like he would. She has confidence, money, beauty and…. Yes…. Special talents. Sliding the folders aside, he leans back and once more places his hands in a triangle before him. “How can I help….. the Crown today?” “I was told you were perceptive. Yes- I am here on the behalf of Breland and its King. Breland and all of her people. Motioning to a chair, “May I?” He waves to it. “Chairs are meant to be sat in.” “I am sure you are aware that sometimes the government….” “The Dark Lanterns, sorry- go on.” With a tight smile more akin to a grimace she restarts. “Sometimes the Breland Government, through the Dark Lanterns, will hire outside talent.” She closes her eyes as if in pain. “Sorry….
