Filani greeted them "To what do I owe the pleasure?  I'm glad to see young father Dawnguard is alright after last night's attack on the church.  Can I offer you some tea?""How did you..." Began Calrom but Alya interrupted him."Filani know everything that goes on, it's basically her job" she told him "We would love some thank you.  We have some items we need you to identify and a favor to ask.  Last night Darian ran across a revenant and was lucky to escape with his life.  We'd like to know if it's possible to reason with the creature, or understand why it's attacking us."Hmmm" Began Filani addressing Darian "What do you know of these creature's young Master Dawngaurd?""Well" began Darian "They are corpses who have animated to avenge some great wrong, they are driven by anger and vengeanace...""And as such..." prodded Filani"Probably can't be reasoned with" finished Darian"Indeed, they are also immune to turning.  What did it want from the temple?" asked Filani"It appeared to want its sword back" said Darian"Hmm, well if that's the case, the great wrong was the robbery of its grave.  It will likely continue until such time as all of it's possessions are either reclaimed or returned, or until it is defeated and destroyed." Said Filani"Ahh speaking of which, we have some of those possessions with us." began Alya "There have been no other attacks so it's probably safe to assume it won't attack during the day. we were hoping that you'd be able to identify these for us before he reclaimed them."  "We will of course be back long before sunset to retrieve them from you." said Calrom in between loud slurps of tea "We wouldn't want you attacked.""My thanks for that." replied Filani. "Until then I will merely have to trust that the magic of my tower is enough to keep the creature out should it decide to attack.  You have money for my payment of course?""Ahh yes" said Darian "We were wondering about that, is there anything we can trade to lower the price somewhat?""Well information is always of value, the rarer the better, what have you to tell me?" Filani asked."Would you perhaps like this?" asked Darian pulling out a glowing piece of sculpted crystal.  "It could light your workshop on dark nights, and it's light will never expire.""You mean like these?" said Filani pointing to the various ever glowing lanterns already dotting the ceiling of her workshop."Yeeees" began Darian "But this one is a completely unique creation, a one of a kind piece of crystal craftsmanship.  You would honor me if you would accept if as a gift for all the service you have done for us in the past.""Very well Master Dawnguard, have you anything else you wish to offer me to defray the cost of my work?" Filani asked."What about a complete map of the barrows as far as we've explored them so far?" said Darin, pulling a map out his sketch book."Let me see" said Filani as she examined the map "Yes, yes this will do, I will waive my usual labor fee and the cost will be only 300 gold.""Oh" exclaimed Alya "I had almost forgotten, do you know of anyone who would be willing to purchase some rare Netherese coins we found in the barrows?  Would you be interested?"Filani looked over the coins "No I'm afraid not, the coins have little value to me, though I've heard that House Vladaam has an estate just outside of town they are known to collect such things.  You may wish to speak with them.""Our thanks" replied Darian "We do have one final request, from the High Father of the Rose Altar himself.  We are holding a conclave this tonight an hour before sunset to discuss what to do about both the revenant and the quest for the Sword of Truth.  Given your vast areas of knowledge we felt it would be beneficial if you would be there to lend your expertise to the situation.""I would be most honored to attend" said Filani  "Your items should be identified later this afternoon, if you want to stop by before then."And with that the party finished their tea, said their goodbyes, and left for House Vladaam.</blockquote>
