Fists of the Long Death

[The Thayan Menace]

Flamerule 23 (Late Afternoon)

The cloaked man sighs.

"Put that paper away, son. We know what you are here for and, by this time, so does the neighborhood."

He briefly nods towards the Cathedral of Shadows. A vagrant sitting on the steps of the cathedral, the one you spoke to earlier, nods back at him.

"Look," the cloaked man says, "go around to the back door and knock twice."

He pauses for a moment before continuing.

"And next time, just do that instead of pestering the locals. Okay?"

He turns to walk away ....

 

[Ra'Faz]

Nods....and starts to walk to the back of the building.

While walking there I crumble the paper and eat it.

Standing in front of the door I glance around looking in the shadows....feeling like a thousand eyes are watching me.

Knocks twice

Takes a step back from the door.

Flamerule 23 (Late Afternoon)

A guy who looks almost exactly like the cloaked man opens the door a crack.

"Currency?" he whispers in Rashemi.

 

[Ra'Faz]

Looking at the cloaked figure

I reach down and jiggle my coin sack

""Good Thayen coin.....<winkl>" whipsering

[OMG reaching down to jiggle my coin sack!!!! that is funny lol]

"800 sovereigns, my patriotic friend ...."

 

[Ra'Faz]

Before handing him the bag.....I slide 5 more plat into it.

"Here you go...." Whispering

looking over my shoulder......

Smiles at the hooded man.

He hands you a small leather pouch and quickly closes the door.

When you open the pouch, you notice that it contains a brown ceramic flask (elixir of hiding), a green ceramic flask (elixir of sneaking), and a vial of black glass (potion of invisibility).

[The items are labeled in crude Rashemi shorthand.]

What do you do now?

 

[Ra'Faz]

I head back to the Crows murder.

Taking the long way

I stop by the Temple of Umberlee... <justifing my new rank in Kwolege religion> I'm just walking in and looking around.

Flamerule 23 (Late Afternoon - Early Evening)

You briefly admire the fine architecture of coral, marble, and mother of pearl.

After a few moments, you are approached by an elderly Mulan priestess in blue and green robes. Her headdress looks like a cloth rendition of a stylized jellyfish.

She looks at you with a clear measure of disdain.

"Are you here to give an offering to the Queen of the Depths, Rashemi?"

 

[Ra'Faz]

"My lady...excuss my iggronace. But who is the Queen of the Depths?

"I'm sorry my lady I have never given any offers to a temple"

"I'm new at this. I just came here to learn a thing or two"
