Alara nods polite gratitude to Liutbrand as the group starts filing through the threshold. "How do we proceed?" she asks the House scion. "Do you want to stick together, or split up?"
Alara cocks an eyebrow at the sergeant's statement that she is not risking good Watchmen on this. Her concerns are not allayed when the group is deputized.
"We'll have to ask around to find him," the Aundairan observes. "And we'd better keep that scroll in our pocket unless there's no way...
Alara waits patiently, watching the busy little kobold interview the guardswoman while her other compatriots engage in byplay. She wishes she could share their enthusiasm for the size of the reward being offered. And she it bothers her that she needs it so badly.
Alara looked at the note, nonplussed, and passed it on. It was a measure of the company's desperation - and her own - that they were even considering this. If the Sharn City Watch was looking to get rid of a job, it would be unpleasant, impossible, or both. Still, she literally had nothing...
Alara sat through the meeting, quietly sipping her tea. When it came to her turn to report, she relayed the information concisely, and leaving out the pathetic tea party that had culminated events. She settled for making clear she believed the bank draft to be no good, and their clients having...
Alara moved quickly up the street, slipping around the small crowd that was just leaving the House Ghallanda inn and under the striking new sign. She was not quite late, she reassured herself as she stepped into the firm's offices, but she had cut it very close. Well, that was fine. Even if...
How about simplifying your last entry to "Discreet Investigation and Security Services". We're DISSed.
Whatever we call ourselves, I propose one other bit: Assuming we're going with the proposed "Genius" story, a Deneith operator who spoke to the press disparagingly referred to the group as...
So, we need to be geniuses? Hmmm...Let me pitch a plot:
The group was hired by Nalas Rilard, owner of Rilard Essences, a firm specializing in high-end oils and extracts for flavors and fragrances. The firm was facing a high theft rate from a workshop in Sharn that pressed exotic nuts and...
OK, yes, that seems like it would work. Of course, Alara's real plan is to negotiate a special arrangement that would allow her to negotiate special arrangements with the Aundairan crown that would allow the Etrielle family to form a joint venture with the Finder's Guild to import Dragonshards...
Urk. I like the idea of a Group Patron, but Alara's goals make it a bit hard to picture how to fit her in. Maybe some more specifics? Prior involvement in the War, or a family connection?
I think I'm going to make up the Aundairan wizard, unless that leads to problems for party balance. Any concerns?
Will you allow the Variant human trait rules from the PHB? (+1 to two char, 1 skill prof, 1 feat)
Got room for one more? Haven't done PBP in a while but have been thinking of getting back in.
Character pitches:
An Aundairan human wizard. A noblewoman who served in the Last War and came home to find that her ancenstral lands had been sacked. She is out adventuring in an attempt to earn...
