Hero's Quest (Solo Eberron Campaign)

[Blackrat]

"Oh no no no. We Sivis Heirs are trained to write and forget. I couldn't remember the content even if magically forced. And I just can't remember the name to whom it was. But the sender was this pretty Cannith lass. What was her name again..." She looks at miss Frostkiss. "But the message you have been waiting so anxciously miss Frostkiss finally arrived yesterday evening. It should be somewhere here." She says as she goes through a pile of messages that were obviously scattered from a nearby shelf.

 

[Kaodi]

Valsamath cocks his head slightly and looks at the gnome sideways, eyes looking worried. " Would that be Elaydren Vown d'Cannith, by chance? " he asks, brow furrowed and subtle frown apparent.

 

[Blackrat]

She gets back and hands miss Frostkiss a sealed scroll. "Here you go dear" Then she looks at you and says. "Why yes, yes that was her name... Oh my gods, it was your message, was it?" On the side you notice that when miss Frostkiss opens her letter and reads through it, her complexion turns totally. Her shoulders drop and her beautiful face turns somber. She looks as she would burst into tears at any moment. It seems she had some bad news of her own too.

 

[Kaodi]

" I am sorry, but if my message was so important that your station was attacked, I must make haste and seek out Lady d'Cannith, " says Valsamath, pulling away towards the door.

" If I am able, I will return another time to see that you are well. And I am sorry for your loss, Miss Frostkiss. "

With that, he turns to leave the message station and head for the meeting place of Elaydren at a run.

 

[Blackrat]

The two women stare at you leaving in such a haste. Last time you met Elaydren in the Broken Anvil Inn and quessing it to be a good place to start you hurry towards there. About halfway the way you suddenly hear flapping sound above you and notice an owl descenting towards you in circles. When it gets to a height about a meter above you it drops a scroll case it was carrying and flies away. The case lands to your feet.

 

[Kaodi]

After recovering from a brief moment of surprise, Valsamath stoops and picks up the scrollcase. Removing the lid, he carefully pulls out and unfurls the message so that he can read it.

 

[Blackrat]

The sheet contains a short message:

My friend.

The normal means of communication have been compromised. I am once again in need of your help. Meet me at Broken Anvil as soon as possible. I will be waiting you there.

Lady E

Well it seems great minds think alike as you were already on way to the Inn.

 

[Kaodi]

Quickly tucking the message away in his pack, Valsamath proceeds towards the Broken Anvil with all possible haste, making full use of his ability to move on vertical walls to take advantage of possible shortcuts.

 

[Blackrat]

A moment later you arrive to the Broken Anvil and shake the rainwater from your coat. There is not many clients present at the moment. A few eating an early lunch and a small cloaked figure sitting near the door. It has a hood on and is crouched above a bowl of steaming soup preventing you from seeing any details. Elaydren doesn't seem to be in the common room though. As you look around a maid approaches you. "Hello sir, may I take your order?" She leans in closer and whispers in a flirty tone: "And your name please"

 

[Kaodi]

" Just some bread and cheese, please, and a mug of ale, " answers the kalashtar warrior, keeping a close eye on the hooded figure. " The name is Valsamath. "
