Kirran grins at Valdir. "Rolf's right. Especially as I'd be laughing too hard to pull the glass slivers out of you." He then looks sidelong at Fleck, slyly. "It's looking for something, you said you thought. Even if you don't know what precisely, any guess about what sort of thing? Or what we might do with the sort of thing this blade would seek out, or gain from it?"

Valdir smirks again "Oh, I think the glass would be the least of my problems. I'm making a specially padded quiver for them anyway"
Then, turning his attention back to Fleck, "So, we should hang around here to try and see if we can hear some news of the blade?"
Shrugging, "Well, that will give me some time to finish my 'special' arrows. All I need is a good glassblower and the alchemical mixtures. I've gotten the arrowheads designed and made already." Pulling out a bag of arrowheads he hands them to Fleck. "You see the tapered plug at the end? I figure that the impact will not only drive the arrowhead in as usual, but the tapered end here will cause the glass shaft to shatter. Even if the arrowhead doesn't penetrate, if the shot hits solidly enough, the shaft should still shatter. I figure to put Alchemist's Fire, Acid and Holy Water in them. They won't be able to carry a full vial of fluid, but their range will be much greater.
"I'm hoping that you might know of a good glassblower Fleck. If so, commission him to make 20 for now and let me know how much it will cost. And, are you able to produce the Acid and Alchemist's Fire? If so, make enough for 5 Acid arrows and 10 Alchemist's Fire arrows and I'll foot the bill"
(OOC: Damage smaller by one increment than the normal size, automatic shatter on successful hit, otherwise roll a Ranged Touch attack to see if it contacts enough to shatter)

Delwin is restless and decides to leave Lalyns camp in the morning. He has some buisness to tend to, and he figures he makes a better living in the city. He tells the others and prepares his gear.
Delwin spends the winter in Mittendien working some odd jobs for the local guild there. Mostly the winter was good for Delwin. One night he heads to the tavern for an ale, to his surprise he sees Valdir and Fleck there haveing a drink. As he approaches he notices most of the others are there as well. He pulls up a chair and sits down. He orders an ale as he listens to Fleck who is speaking about a knife.
"What would we do with the knife should we find it,again?"
Delwin looks at Fleck as if he had come in late,then smiles.

Fleck lets out an exasperated sigh, and pointedly ignores Delwin's question. He's not going to explain it for a fourth time. "There's a good glassblower on the Conant Square, not too far from here." He names a square a few blocks away, where specialized merchants are often found. "His usual customers are alchemists such as myself, but your arrow shafts aren't that different from sample tubing. Just the end sealed, instead of open. As for the contents, I can make it, but it would take time. A couple weeks, at least, and I don't have that much already made, on hand."
"As for what we do now, we need to ask the right questions to figure out what the blade is looking for. The Solinburg branch of the family in question hasn't been attacked, yet. We can watch, to see if anything happens, or if anything is moved."

Delwin looks at Fleck,
"Well it sounds as though this dagger is possesed.How does it change to look different?What I mean is,is it an entity so to speak and just find a new weapon to embody?How do you know that you can even tap its power as you mention?I am certain there have been others who think as you do.Yet it still moves about in time, and others who are used by it are driven away or slain.It seems as though it may be cursed."
Delwin taps his fingers on the table thinking for a second."I don't know much of these things but I will go along of course.Maybe I will learn something here.
Delwin smirks and looks over at Valdir.
"Sorry I had to go Val, I am not cut out for that kind of life.Pauses,
You know the winters are cold and I was out of place there.The city is somewhat soothing to me,but it is good to hear your lands are better off of late.
Delwin looks back at Fleck

Delwin looks around at the others,
"Maybe we should watch the place for a day or two.Maybe get a look at their actions to see if anything odd happens.
Delwin raises his hand to alert the serving wench.She appraoches the table,
"Could I get another ale, and some of the roasted boar?"
Delwin looks at the others,
"They make some great roasted boar here.You guys eating"
Delwin smiles.

Kirran looks over at Delwin with raised eyebrows. "We already know something odd is happening at those houses. Families don't sit around and think, 'My relatives are getting killed, but I think I'll increase my guard just because I'm bored.'" He taps his fingers against the bridge of his nose for a few moments, thinking. "Humor aside, though... watching the place can't be a bad plan, and that kind of thing works best from the inside. Any chance you know from your investigations whether they're shortstaffed, Fleck? Kitchen duty'd be far from the worst I've done in my time."
(OOC: Delwin, that color's pretty hard to read. Could you try another? And on that note, if anyone's having trouble with this weird reddish, could you let me know?)

Fleck shrugs. "I have no idea. Really, I hadn't even located the place exactly until recently. But I expect that they'd be especially leery about hiring new people, at a time like this. Sticking with people they trust."
He shrugs. "I don't imagine there's any harm in finding out though."
