"I think you should all know that someone just hired me to plant a magic device near Alistair."Dame Brionna looked deeply concerned, but Kit just asked, "What would the device do? And where is it now?""I don't rightly know. They claimed that it would allow scrying, but I didn't confirm that. I don't actually know where it is. I had an unseen servant hide it, along with the payment they gave me, by the river, without telling me where. I can send the unseen servant to recover it if we want it."Dame Brionna glared sternly at Marcus. "What I don't understand is why you agreed in the first place.""As long as they think I'm working for them, they have a reason to keep me alive. If I said no, I go from being a useful asset in their eyes to being an enemy who knows who one of their agents is. I prefer them to think I'm useful."She nodded grudgingly. "I suppose that makes sense. Any idea who they were?""The man I talked to seemed human, but he paid me in strange black coins with an elf's face on it.""That sounds like the Noldar," Kit said. "In which case, I know exactly who we should talk to."The grandmaster of psionics on the elven valar that had transported the group from the edge of the Archduchy to Canberry City greeted Kit warmly. "I hope that your studies go well.""They do," Kit replied, "but that's not why I asked to speak with you. My friend Marcus was asked to plant an amulet near Alistair and was paid in black metal coins with an elven face on them. Dame Brionna determined that the amulet wasn't evil, but it has some sort of psychokinetic power in it. I thought that the coins might be from the Noldar and hoped you would be able to deal with the amulet."The grandmaster nodded. "A wise choice. Do you have the amulet with you? May I see it? We have wards here that should keep us safe."Marcus reached into a pouch and drew out the large ornate disk, along with the four coins. The grandmaster barely glanced at the coins, but carefully examined the amulet, turning it over several times before looking up."It was well that you did not deliver this as you were instructed. It would produce a powerful psychokinetic blast-- a Grand Concussion-- upon being within three yards of Alistair."</blockquote>
