came in and out of view from behind the trees.  Lake Galifar was a haven for fishing and boating.  House Orien had a large center here for electric rail repairs.  Shortly, once the officials of Sharn and Wroat were done with it, their original coach would come here.  Someone tried to murder a woman whom had the cabin next to theirs.  Jay Blueheart and Grot Nicklestone tried their best to help her but a mysterious shifter saved her instead.  A strange trip for a strange adventure.Jay was hired by House Kundarak to find and retrieve several family heirlooms lost during the war.  Nic was there to make sure the job was done and stayed on budget.  Neither were the obvious persons for the job.Jay was an irresponsible but likeable guy that had a lot of bad luck.  Grot spent the vast majority of his 156 years within a 10x10 room in the basement of a bank as an accountant.  Neither had ever left the limits of Sharn, the biggest city of the continent of Khorvaire.  Now they have traveled the length of Breland, spent a day traveling through a bit of Thrane and now traveled in Aundair.  Just a few years ago these three countries were at war.  It is unclear how much was against each other and how much “friendly” fire had been the cause of conflict.  Alliances shifted quickly and often the people of the countries did not know why.  Neither Jay nor Nic saw any war.  Sharn was never under attack officially.  There were some strange incidents that occurred but where they due to war hostilities or possibly too many drugs with ill intentions towards the government.“Don’t wander off Jaykodie Blueheart.  You don’t know this city.” Laments Nic.“Last I knew-  neither did you” answers Jay as he fumbles with both bags.  His is very light.  Nic's pack is hefty.  Nic insists on carrying his shoulder pack.  Jay has watched him and suspects he has a bag of holding within it.  If so-  who knows what he has within.The streets are wide which is good.  Many carts travel from shipping to electric rail to air ship to standard caravan routes.  Passage is a trade town.  House Orien is thus in command within this town.  Also, wherever there is money being transferred, there is House Kundarak.Nic spends time studying his map and instructions.  His thick glasses suggest his poor eyesight.  Jay finds this quite humorous watching this neat freak dwarf try to get by in a city like Passage.  Near the docks they find the Kundarak house.  This is where they are going.Aaron Lessjust has been kept here for several weeks now.  He tried to sell stolen jewels from the Neadder family heirloom.  House Kundarak hopes to find the rest of the lost treasures by using this man.  There are three more missing items.Portrait of Gregor Neadder painted by the famous artist-  Hero GleasonHeadpiece of the Forest said to possibly have magical properties useful within a forest.The Neadder Ring which is believed to hold a Siberys, Khyber and a Eberron fragment within itAlso lost was about 250,00 gold but the bank has replaced that with their gold already.  Of course, if it is found, then we need to return it.We found the bank.  It is a very sturdy and plain building (as expected) with a few small busts outside of  a horrible looking man (Manticore).  A dwarf stands at the door.  He is dressed in simple looking clothes with a perfectly tailored outfit.  He opens the door for them to enter.  Later, Jay would be amazed to learn the dwarf was wearing glamored armor.  He was as an armored guard as much as a door greeter.Jay sits down in the lobby as Grot goes to locate the dwarf named Dru Hardstone.  Five minutes go by then ten.  Jay is bored and begins to check out the people coming and going.  He sees many local merchants.  Some have agents of House Deneith with them.  These humans act as bodyguards.  Some have ½ elves with them.  These may be from House Medani.  They sometimes act as guards also.“Hello-  how do you do?” comes a voice from behind Jay.Jay literally jumps up and twists in the air preparing to swing his pack in defense.  He still considers it when he sees whom it is.  A shifter.  The very shifter whom he saw in Breland when the cabin was set a flame by the man in black.“Why does Whisper want to kill you?”  she bluntly requests with little emotion in her voice or on her face.“…who?”  Jay says confused.“The man on the rail.  He is known as Whisper within certain groups.  Why does he want you and the dwarf dead?”Jay notes that she has a relaxed stance but her feet are spaced so as to move aside very quickly.  She is a warrior and a person on the go.  Possibly a ranger.  “He wants US dead?!?!” stammers Jay in alarm.  He tried to kill that Thrane woman.  Not us.  You forget-  I was there.”“He has shadowed you through much of your travels.  By luck and possibly fear of being seen by myself he has yet strike again.  But he will.  He has a need to cause death, destruction and chaos.”Jay stands before the female shifter.  He is uncertain whether to believe her or dismiss her.  Where is that damned dwarf thinks Jay.  Where?</blockquote>
