Dungeon Adventure Path: Life's Bazaar

[Argent Silvermage]

"Well" Says Sando lighting up his pipe. "It seems that this is a starting point in our investigation. If the Familiar is still alive then there may be hope for the children after all." He takes out a scroll case and retrieves the paper, pen and ink from inside it and says "Lets start off with a map if you can. Are there any ways to tell these creatures from others? Better yet... Are there any here now?" Sando looks around as he says that with equil bits of curiosity and fear.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

"That's an admirable idea, my almost-kinsgnome, but may I suggest using this instead?" Ghelve reaches into his robe and pulls out a small roll of leather, neatly bound. "My father left this with me. I think you may find it useful. I give it to you as a plea to help me and also as a way to start making up for my weakness. Hopefully it will help facilitate a speedy rescue of the children and Starbrow. It's Jzadirune, at least as it was over 75 years ago." He pushes the tube across the table towards Carrach tentatively.

"Most interesting...Ghelve have you been down there?"

 

[Old Fezziwig]

"Not since before the Vanishing. My people shut it off from the city and came to the surface, the last step in our exodus from the deep parts of the Reach. Not to say that life on the surface isn't enjoyable mind you." He half smiles for a moment.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"Jzadirune..." Sando says, his eyes far away for a moment. "Were you here for the Vanishing?"

 

[Old Fezziwig]

"My father had moved into town a long time before the Vanishing. Occasionally we would visit friends down there, but, no, I wasn't there for it."

 

[Jalon Odessa]

"Thank you for your assistance, Ghelve. I understand the horrible position in which you were placed after Starbrow's disappearance, but hopefully with your help we can prevent any further harm from bealling the city of Cauldron, and you shall be redeemed."

Turning to her companions, Liandra continues.

"So... it seems we've finally made some progress in our investigation - the question remains as to how and when we should set about exploring Jzadirune."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"I hope I'm not being presumptuous but I say the sooner the better, now is a good time. The obviously have spys and will learn of our plans soon enough so we need to act while we have some element of surprise." Sando says. "We have little time and much to do. can we get the supplies we will need from one of the church's in the area? We need to keep as low a profile as we can and churches have all kinds of pull that we do not."

 

[gordonknox]

“No presumption at all Sando, rather good precaution. Lets get organized as soon as possible. I can be ready in the afternoon. I believe it would be wise to enter the lost city, via Ghelve’s store, utilizing the darkness of night.”

Carrach can't help but raise his eyebrows at Liandra's (all-too-) friendly treatment of the gnomish locksmith. Still, all that talking had brought up an important point which remained unclear.

"That 'Vanishing' disease, is it still down there? Also, can it affect others, like that kidnapping scum or us?"
