Brave New Planes

Brystasia Purelove: Half-Nymph/Female (Avenger/Favored Soul/Heartwarder)

Brystasia gives a simple smile as she quietly wonders and slightly worries about the return of the colder Sanderol, Please don’t let my actions change you.

The words echo loudly off the stone of the hallway as an angry Brystasia scolds her companions, “A war! May Sune save us but that’s the last place I would willing ever go! Do you know how many cultural treasures are lost every time someone gets that kind of an idea?”

She gives an encouraging smile as she hopes that her companions will see it her way, “Undermountain though, is still largely unexplored and probably worthy of our interest.”

She addresses the large Cimmerian, “Conan if we could barrow your new sword it would help us immensely.” Choosing her words cautiously as she gives him her best smile and continues, “We are on our way to see a wise man that hopefully will be able to tell us more about your sword.”

 

[Serpenteye]

Sandorel answers her in a light and friendly tone,
"We wouldn't be starting a war, only escalate it and bring it to a quicker end. An end far less bloody for the victor, and less devastating to the world in general. If we cut out the heart of one of the combatants their ability to wage war would probably be destroyed and we can arrive at a favourable and profitable peace-settlement. It shoudln't take us more than a couple of days, if we decide it's worthy of our effort."

 

[Endur]

Conan smiles and says, "If this smith you seek out may know the smith that forged my blade, I'll be glad to go with you and show him my sword."

Brystasia looks slightly sad as she replies, “The Sunite church has strong feeling about maintain loving and helpful relationships with everyone as this helps us promote love through out Faerûn and also to help us protect the things of beauty. We simply do not take sides or “cut the heart out” of one of the combatants and to do so and favor one side over the other would jeopardize everything we hold dear. If you want to go to Luskan and Mirabar and negotiate peace between the two cities without blood and destruction than I’m more than willing to go for that noble cause. If you’re wanting to go their as combatants then my hands are simply tied as I cannot be associated with such things."

Brystasia smiles at the Cimmerian, “He isn’t a smith, per say, but he might still be able to help you with the information you seek.”

 

[Endur]

Conan responds to Brystasia,
"Men do not seek war for fun. If there is a war, there is a reason. Know the reason and you will know which side to choose.

"I have never been to Luskan or Mirabar. What can you tell us of these places?"

Regarding the wise non-smith:

"Well, then, lets go meet this friend of smiths, then."

Brystasia looks for support from Sandorel hoping that he can help explain the need for neutrality to the large man, “Conan, it’s not that simple as there is no side that Sune can chose and openly support. Obviously, its not something I agree with totally but it’s a rule a must adhere to. If I where to go too chose a side word would get around as I’m to well known for it not to happen.”

She looks embarrassed when asked about the two cities, “I must confess that though I have been to both places most of what I do know isn’t going to be helpful in this situation. Luskan is a port city that can come across as quite lawless and its form of government does little to dispel this belief as it’s ruled by a group of pirate lords. Mirabar, is the big mine area in that region, why these to cities would be up in arms is beyond me but I can only imagine that Luskan is being aggressive again. I’m sure the two of you can hunt down someone with more information than I can offer.”

Hoping to change the subject she address them, “If you do not seek war why do you favor going to Luskan and Mirabar over Undermountain?”

 

[Serpenteye]

"As far as I'm concerned either option is as good as the other. Undermountain would present much greater tactical difficulties. It would probably be a greater risk, and the monetary reward would be unknowable, though possibly higher. Luskan could be broken in a day, but most of the rewards would vanish when the city collapses into chaos following our intervention. Mirabar seems likely to be the richest target, but we have no moral grounds to attack them if they are not the agressor."
He shrugs, and smiles rogueishly.
"All things considered I would rather wage a campain against some vile church. Which one of the evil religions on this planet is the richest?"

Brystasia laughs at delight at Sandorel charm, “I don’t know who the richest is. Sunites rarely socialize with worshipers of evil faiths so your guess would probably be as good as mine.” She winks at him obviously realizing he wouldn’t even know of the name of a church, “Besides I suspect that declaring war on a evil church would be a greater tactical difficulty than Undermountain. Though Undermountain has been described by Elminster as...” She closes her eyes as if trying to remember a line correctly, “The most famous battlefield in which to earn a reputation as a veteran adventurer, and the largest known grave of heroes in Faerûn.”

She grins wickedly, "But Undermountain has a few advantages, no politics and no need for an army."

She beckons the two men with a smile and a small hand movement, "Come we can discuses as we walk." She turns and walks away not giving the two men a chance to object.

OOC: I figure we should at least start to move through the city. We can always arrive at the school of magic when the discussions is done.

 

[Endur]

"I know not who this Elminister is, but what kind of warrior fights underground when he could fight above ground?"

Brystasia giggles at the Cimmerian’s comments, “I’ve honestly never giving it any thought. For me it’s the unknown and the chance of finding a truly lost work of art.” She turns to Conan a playful look on her face as she giggles again, “My noble warrior isn’t afraid of the dark is he?”
