(Adventure) Retrieval of Fallon's Key (Macbeth Judging)

[Kahuna Burger]

"I have made arangements for your stay here in the city tonight. You can get started tomorrow morning." the elf says standing. "Were there any other questions?"

Sara has remained standing behind Iggy and now leans down to ask him quietly, "Do we need to find out something about these thieves?"

 

[Gurdjieff]

It would be nice if you could tell us what we are up against, Lord.

 

[Mithreander]

Mithreander looks to the paladin and sits down again. "I'll tell you what I could devine, which is not much, which tells me that you may have a VERY hard time acomplishing this mission, for someone to be powerful enough to block my scry may well be to powerful to deal with, but at last you are all that I can afford at this time." He takes a large breath that causes the blue of his viens visible under his near transparent skin.

"The group, for we believe it was more then one person, had to be very stealthy, and have magical help. They came into the city and out of the city without being spotted. They were able to bypass locks, both mundane and wizardly without a trace and disabled two guardians that even the most skilled should have had a problem bypassing. They had used cutting weapons to deal with the guardians in such a skillfull fassion that the captain of our guard refused to send men out to get them. Any other questions?"

Sara manages to stand a little closer to Iggy and reaches up to her shoulder to twirl the ribbons on one of her sheathed swords... She looks as though she would say something, but holds her tongue with obvious effort.

 

[Mithreander]

Mithreander sees the odvious desire to say something in Sara and asks "Do you have a question or comment, Sword Dancer?" he asks.

 

[Gurdjieff]

What would others want with the Key they stole, Lord Mithreander? What motives could this group of bandits have to steal the key?
Rogier frowns as Mithreander describes the mission, as it sounds pretty hard. And you said that large amount of Mithril might become a problem, could you explain why that is?

He smiles. And as a final question, what does the key look like?

Sara gives a grimacy smile. "Your son came a long way to get us... was it looking for the right people for the job - or just those crazy enough to take it? Your guard looks pretty competent, is all... yeah I'm cocky, but I fight in my own battle class back home..."

 

[Mithreander]

"The motives are unknown to me, for I do not know who took it, though the most agreed upon it to see the destruction of Fallon, though that is very unlikely to happen if I can duplicate the key in time." Mithreander answers and then smiles at the second question and answers "It confuses the homing device, for the key is made of Mithral. In the vecinity of a large amount of mithral, the homing device gets confused as to the location of the key versus the source of the mithral. As to your last question... that is a good one. The key looks like a rectangle piece of metal, mithral as I mentioned, about this size... oh, here." He makes a few gesters mutering a spell and hovering in front of all of you is a 3" x 4" flat piece of metal with echings in it. The echings seem to glow slightly as it turns before you. Soem of you recognize the symbols as magical writings, usually resurved for scrolls, wands or other magically enhanced items.

 

[Mithreander]

Turning to Sara, he says "Yes."

 

[Kahuna Burger]

Turning to Sara, he says "Yes."

Sara pauses for a moment and tries to remember the exact phrasing of her question but is distracted by the discription and illusion of the key. The words "Mithral Buckler" flash almost visably above her head...
