[QUOTE="Tellerian Hawke, post: 7086667, member: 6790669"] [gm] Time you left: 10:45 am. 10 minutes to city gate. 20 minutes to Margull's tower. Arrive at tower: 11:15 am. Reach the top of the tower at 11;25 am. Search roll (you should take 20, because there is ample time.) Search time = 40 mins (finish at 12:05 pm) Search result = 20+11 = 31 (success) = You find (3) books and (2) maps of interest, all written in the same, ancient tongue as the book on the desk. Knowledge (Arcana) check DC 25 = 32 (Success); the mirror has runes at the top, which are in Elvish, and represent Compass Directions (N, NE, NW, E, S, SE, SW, and W) and distance in miles (1, 15, 30, 150, 250, 500, and 1,000): You determine that the forest depicted currently in the mirror is to the NW direction from Dyvers, and the 250 and 1,000 markings are both glowing. Decipher Script check DC 25 = 27 (Success); The three books are entitled: "History of the True Vampire, by Margull The Black. VOL 1, 2, 3"; the book open on the desk is volume 4. The page to which it is opened has a picture of a brunette, female vampire with blood smeared across her lower face. The caption reads[COLOR=#ff0000][B] "Lynalla The Traitor."[/B][/COLOR] You glance at the text, and recognize the following: [COLOR=#0000FF][I]"...Lynalla always thirsted for power. She sought to kill all the second generation True Vampires, in order to steal their powers, in hopes that she would then be strong enough to kill Symval himself, thus taking his powers as well, and becoming the Queen of the Damned. Out of her three children, only one of them (Jarren) agreed to help her. The other two advised her not to anger The Originator and invite his wrath. She did not listen. Lynalla and Jarren killed Ferrindar together; Lynalla ate Ferrindar’s heart, and Jarren ate Ferrindar’s brain. To consolidate her power, Lynalla then betrayed Jarren, killing him, and draining all of his blood, and lastly, eating his heart and his brain, in order to ensure that the “powers of the strongest blood” remained entirely with her. Xavier knew that Lynalla’s next target would be either him or Margull; more likely, it would be Xavier, since Margull had not been seen for over 200 years.

[/I][/COLOR] Spellcraft Check DC 25 = 25 (Success): The orb is a scrying device, as is the mirror.

Respen surmises that a single person with enough power to use the orb alone and un-aided would need to be an Arch Mage of the highest order. Obviously, Margull falls short of that level. The two maps of interest are old, and have mistakes (?) where the political boundaries are; or perhaps, they are[I][B] really [/B][/I]old, and the boundaries are correct, in the sense of marking where the boundaries ONCE WERE. The first map is a map of the entire Flanaess; the second map is a close up of the Northern Regions, specifically, Blackmoor, and the Burneal Forest. All of this information is gained quickly. It is now 12:45 pm. If you leave now, you can be back at Dewydd's manor by 1:15 pm. [/gm] [B][I]Respen: What do you do?[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
