[QUOTE="dungeon blaster, post: 2847672, member: 30575"] Ehrune knew he had found something special. Well, rather, the local cartogropher had found something special, but is was all on account of Ehrune pushing and prodding him to look over his oldest maps for signs of undiscovered cairns. And there it was, scrawled in a barely legible hand and marked with a small triangle, 'Whispering Cairn'. Of course, a copy of the map was neccessary, and the old cartogropher didn't part with one easily. Said he was looking forward to retirement. He asked for a half-share, but Ehrune bargained him down to a third-share. Map in hand, Ehrune set forth to gather a posse. Even a mud-headed half-orc knew that exploring bandit-infested lands alone was apt to end poorly. 'Riches and fame await the bold. Expedition to undiscovered cairn. Only the strong of body, heart, and mind need apply. Meet at the Menhirs after dusk' he wrote on a small note and passed around. He guessed that most of the people who would show would just be there out of curiousity, but he hoped that a few would have the talents he required. At dusk they arrived, alone or in small groups. He counted forty-three people in all, most of them miners and of no use to him. They waited for him to speak and he spoke, describing in vague terms what he had planned. Most of the people left after a few minutes, but a few lingered, and he spoke with these people one-on-one. By midnight he had found only one who was both willing to join him and possessed useful abilities. It was one of the men from the Emporium. He said his name was Etherik and that he had magical powers. 'Like a wizard?' 'No.' 'Like a sorcerer.' 'No.' 'Then what are you?' 'Don't know.' It wasn't a good start, but it was a start. [/QUOTE]
