"This way!" Lief says, an insistent hand on Starn's back as he helps him onto a horse.Nature r17 + 3 + 2 = 22Intent: Call the horses for a fast getaway.Complexity 2 SC, Level 2 (DCs 9/13/20)Goal: Escape the Crumbling Tower.6/6 Successes/0 Failures/1 Secondary Skills Available/Primary Skill Training exhausted; Perception, Acrobatics, Arcana, NatureThe trio gallops from the tower's collapse, dust pluming into the sky behind them. They splash into the crossing, urging the horses through the water and headlong into whatever lies ahead.[HR][/HR]Starn gazes longingly back as they ride away, wondering if he will ever get a chance to uncover the mysteries and wonders in those vaults! Sighing, he turns his attention to the others and asks "So, what are you all doing here? You mentioned needing an Arcanist. I'm merely an apprentice, but if you help me find my master, then you will have found a true arcanist, though perhaps not one so great as the old masters."Starn Minor QuestInform Lord Markalhey of the disappearance of Nimozaran, and particularly Lady Markalhey, whom he understands is related to his master in some fashion, perhaps cousins. He also suspects she may have at least one of the three keys needed to get back into the Septarch's Tower.Lief is uncertain what to do with this information. Sariel, brimming with confidence as usual, doesn't hesitate:"My eldest brother, Riandris, Rain Falls Among Us, has absconded to The World after a failed coupe attempt on my father, the Ghaele of Winter. My father divined that we three are linked by the stars and that you Starn might have knowledge of the peerage of Fallcrest that might aid in my search for my brother's whereabouts. I seek for signs of my brother's agents.I do not come to The World in search for an arcanist, Starn. I came to this tower for you specifically."Sariel Minor QuestWith the help of Starn's knowledge of mortal politics, search for signs of unseelie influence in Fallcrest."Ah, in that case, let us proceed to Moonstone Keep and see if we can get an interview with the Lord," Starn says. He figures there's at least a fair chance he might get to talk to the Lady as well. Bringing what appears to be an unusual set of visitors seems to him like a good in.Lief pipes up, too loud. "Moonstone Keep sounds very fascinating! Could we maybe swing through town first? Just an errand I have to run. A quick one!"Lief Minor QuestAnonymously leave some coin for the widow of Renne, the Loremaster's apprentice who Lief kidnapped for the cult, to tide them over a bit longer. And while he's there, make sure the Elect or anyone else hasn't hurt that family even more while Lief was away."Oh," Starn says, "I think that won't be a problem!"</blockquote>
