Curse of the Azure Bonds chapter 1: Tilverton

[Thanee]

Dawn

“Now that's interesting... considering all things that have happened, I would say it's likely, that the hairbrush was left there on purpose. But... to what purpose? Obviously we are meant to come here and talk to you, but why?”

 

[Scotley]

Charum

Charum ponders the others' words and finally interjects something. "The wedding seems to be the biggest thing going right now. I think it would be prudent to have everyone wearing Lathandrite vestiments checked out. You really don't want some terrible act being done under the guise of your order."

 

[Raylis]

Ferrik of Rasheman

"What if this is a false trail? In Rasheman the ettercap does such thing to ambush its prey. The Red Wizards whose butts need kicking may have put this false trail so we are looking for a deer instead of looking for a moose." Ferrik says trying to keep as much near the door as he can.

“Now that's interesting... considering all things that have happened, I would say it's likely, that the hairbrush was left there on purpose. But... to what purpose? Obviously we are meant to come here and talk to you, but why?”

"I am not so sure. It could be that they hoped our wrath would fall upon the lathandrites and the robes and brush were meant to aim us here like a bolt resting on the channeling groove of Aelkin's crossbows. But I would not discount the possibility of foolish errors. The brush could have been left behind accidentally instead of intentionally. I do not believe we know enough to make solid conclusions yet. Several elements of our situation are anomolous." The giant shakes his head then turns back to the priestess. "Do you know lore of rune magic, priestess?"

Maesnir il'Jazariel

"Was there anyone else who might have seen something suspicious that day?"

[sblock=dominic]I tend to agree, says Anya, however of these five sigils, the one closest to your hand, the one with the mouth inside the palm, is the only one I recognize. It is the symbol of Moander, a long-dead god of mold, fungus, corruption, decay, and such items. He was a thoroughly vile deity as you might imagine, and did battle with many of the human and elven deities when he and his clergy were active. Finally a thousand years ago, a united force of elven wizards and Seldarine priests destroyed Moander's aspect and banished his essence to a pocket dimension. In the ensuing millenium, a number of cults have risen and fallen, dedicated to the revival of Moander as an active deity. The last of which was rooted out about 15 years ago in the town of Yulash, a few leagues north of here in the northern Dales.

She studies the bonds a little further. If I may offer a word of caution about these symbols. I'd be extremely cautious about directing spells at them. Casting spells on unknown runes is about as wise as sticking one's head down a dragon's maw, and these runes may carry any sorts of wards against unwanted divination and removal.[/sblock]

I am well versed in runes, glyphs, wards, and other such types of magicks sir giant. What would you ask of me?

[sblock=ooc]I apologize for the lack of postage. I am out of town currently and thought I'd have internet access where I was staying. But they had problems with their wireless network here and haven't gotten it up until tonight.[/sblock]

 

[Falkus]

[sblock]"Thank you for the advice and the information," Dominic said, nodding his head. "Is there anybody you know who might be able to tell me anything about the other symbols?"[/sblock]

 

[Eva of Sirrion]

[sblock=dominic]The sage Filani is well-versed in all manner of lore and history of Cormyr and the surrounding areas. If anyone will recognize them, she will.[/sblock]

Xi-Selorn rolls up his sleeve. "Everything you can tell me of these."

"Thank you for your assistance," Dominic said, bowing, and then he took his leave, taking the box back to Undreir.
