[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 1269275, member: 118"] The room at the bottom of the stairs is a smaller hall. Two officers sit behind a couple tables at one end of the room and a handful of soldiers are standing nearby, apparently waiting for their daily orders. Branching off either end of the room are barracks quarters, though from the bottom of the stairs you can't see much of them. A small door in the opposite corner from the stairs likely leads to the latrine (judging by the smell). Yaren leads you to a door near one of the barracks rooms. The soldiers look at your group with a bit of interest, but say nothing. Yaren knocks sharply at the door and then opens it without waiting for an answer. The room beyond is about half the size of the main hall above. A great glass panel situated between two pillars of black marble dominates the opposite wall. Only bare stone can be seen through the glass. In the center of the room is a lowered area with two sets of stairs leading down the five foot depth. Centered in this depression is a short pedestal, again of black marble. Standing next to the pedestal is a well-dressed human woman of middle age who looks up from a book she is scribbling notes in as you enter. (Pyior immediately recognizes her magister's staff leaning against the wall nearby.) "Lady Truthspeaker," Yaren says stiffly. "Adventurers are here to answer your call." Yaren waves you all into the room. The woman sets her quill down. "Ah, at last!" she says. "You're the first group to arrive. Thank you so much for getting here this quickly. We can hope that the rhodin have not taken the ring too far in this short time." Iriana walks up the stairs and looks pointedly at Yaren. When the litorian doesn't respond, Iriana thanks her and pointedly dismisses the sub-commander. Yaren turns and departs without another word. Iriana closes the door firmly behind Yaren, then leans against it and sighs deeply. "If it were not for the military types, fighting would be so much more pleasant." She looks at each of you in turn. Her eyes are penetrating and suggest great intelligence. "So, you're here about the job to recover the Ebonring. Tell me, who are you, what skills do you bring, and what sort of credentials might you have?" [/QUOTE]
