The old bugbear looks very alarmed when Kilcif says he is planning on opening the pot.

He recommends you leave the inhabitated areas of the cavern and go someplace where nobody else is around. He suggests opening the jar near the abandoned warehouses.

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif seems annoyed by the suggestion and could really careless about the others but it does give him an idea, Hmmm, Maybe it’s time I found a lackey. Looks back to the old bugbear, “Gnarck, your right of course.” Kilcif picks up the pot and heads towards the abounded warehouse stopping along the way to find a lesser being. He’ll offer the “lucky” being 1 PP for his help.

OOC: By lesser being I mean a goblinoid, preferably a goblin. I’ll also take an orc, kobold, or a decrepited what ever. They just need to be strong enough to undo the lid. I also want to look for any good size length of robe or chain. Preferably the later and it need not be longer than a foot or two.

Did I discover and traps or what not?

Also is this an exact copy of the pot that was in my dream?

Rope is easy to find. So is a goblin. Dingy yellow in color, Gorbo smiles a big smile when you mention platinum.

"Gorbo the goblin at your service. One platinum piece in advance and another platinum piece after the work is done."
 

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif grunts and anger and drops his head down to the goblins eyelevel and screams at him, “No negotiation!!!” Calming down some and at the same time hoping that the goblin will be more timid now Kilcif continues, “Be lucky I don’t break you for even suggesting it. 1 platinum piece when the work is done or I will find a different goblin to help me, deal?”
 

Gorbo does not seem intimidated by Kilcif's ability to yell. Without blinking an eye, he continues.

"One gold piece in advance and one platinum piece after the work is done."
 

After he finishes resting and visits his mount in the stables in the drow commoner area, Marckarius goes to find Matron Ki'Willis and presents himself to her.
 

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif still annoyed but with out wanting to try and find someone else... “Fine, one gold piece now and one platinum when the work is done.” Kilcif digs for a go ld piece and drops it into the goblins hand thinking, I’ll just have to make sure you earn it. Kilcif points to the pot, “Carry that.”
 

[I don't want to go too far back in time, so here's just the important stuff.]

Narcelia, upon being shown the room, immediately claims the larger bed as her own and settles into a light reverie, more in an attempt to hear Lolth's voice than to get any rest. (She would have checked the entire room thoroughly before sitting down.) When Carcelon speaks, her eyes snap open and she rises gracefully to follow her sister, glad for the interruption of her unanswered prayers to the Spider Queen, and hoping Carcelon will do something that will show her the right way.
 

Torrellan isn't really happy to find out that his 'targets' have skinless guards posted at their doors. They're probably not going to let him pass even if he asked, and neither are they easily coersed or bribed to leave their posts. But I guess there's nothing wrong with asking anyway. Even with a negative answer, I'm not worse off than I'm now.
He approaches the guards at Velasta's door, bowing slightly before speaking to them. For the first time, he feels a bit bad for not accepting the token he was presented earlier.
"I'd like to talk with Mistress Velasta, would either of you inguire her if she has the time?"

Torrellan isn't excactly sure how commanding he should be towards the skinless females since undead are apparently held in high regard and he's merely a male.
 

Solom Ned'razak continues his conversation with Quertus, showing great interest in everything Quertus says and watching his every expression closely.

In contrast, Eilos is obviously bored and not paying attention at all.

Quertus suddenly realizes that he has seen previously the amulet that Solom is absent-mindedly playing with. His brother Eilos used to wear that amulet.

Solom continues,

"I noticed the look of rage and despair on the face of Matron Ki'Willis when she learned that all the goods from the warehouses had been sent to Maerimydra.

"You didn't come here for an old reunion, did you? You came here to take all of the trading goods back to Menzoberanzan!

"A pity the caravan is out of Matron's reach.

"It used to take the caravans two to three weeks to get from here to Maerimydra. And that was with an experienced caravan master and crew.

"I wonder how far that group of misfits and undead that Dorina sent with the caravan have traveled."

Solom steps down from his high throne, walks over to a silver mirror, and speaks the incantation for a Scrying spell.

"Show me Dorina's caravan."


The mirror reveals a long caravan traveling through a cavern on the shore of a black lake. Approximately one hundred lizards are carrying various goods in packs. Probably one hundred Rothe. One hundred zombies and skeletons are also traveling with the caravan. You see very few drow, maybe a half dozen at most.

Solom speaks again as the image in the mirror fades.

"They have crossed the Lake of Shadows. At their current rate of speed, it will be another three to four weeks before they make it to Maerimydra.

"Sending zombies with a caravan when speed is of the essence.

"I tell you, Quertus, this is proof as to why Wizards should rule the world."
