House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen II

[Endur]

Solom continues speaking to Quertus, almost like a kind parent to a favored child,

"Quertus, I think great things will come from your association with the Inverted Tower. To further your magical prowess, I would give you a gift."

Solom claps his hands and there is a puff of smoke and a tiny demon appears (of the type known as Quasits).

"This is Icho. He will be of great assistance in your arcane research. Think of him as an apprentice or a familiar."

 

[Xael]

While speaking with Solom, Quertus takes notice of Eilos' amulet and his boredom. He considers asking Solom about the "incident" between him and Eilos, but decides not to. When Solom mentions the reason for their being here, shrugs and says: "Quite right, we were expecting that our partners had betrayed us - as they had - , so reforming trade wasn't really high on our priority list."

When Solom shows the caravan, Quertus' interest really awakens.

*We could still catch the caravan and seize it with my spells. Matron probably wants to know...*

Quertus chuckles and nods approvingly when Solom mentions about wizards ruling the world, slightly surprised that he bought the subjetc up. While he thinks that Solom is right, talking about such things in public would be a suicide.

When Solom presents the Quasit to him, Quertus makes a clearly exaggarated bow. "I thank you for your gift. It will certainly be of use to me in one way or another." Quertus gives a quick, appraising look at the demon and then straightens up and looks at Solom. "And while I would like to believe in your generousity, I tend to think otherwise. One doesn't give gifts for nothing, there's always a catch. You want something of me, do you?", he says, keeping his voice polite rather than accusing.

 

[Dalamar]

"I couldn't think of anything before our conversation, but now it seems that you would do well with an assortment of personal slaves. A few to do your cleaning, a slew to suffer your frustration when needed, maybe a few competent males to satisfy your other needs..."

 

[Endur]

Solom responds to Quertus, "Well, yes, of course, I want something from you.

"I want you to put in a good word for me with Matron Ki'Willis. I had nothing to do with either of the recent takeovers of this place by Matron Morcane or Dorina T'sarran. The Inverted Tower was strictly neutral in both of the recent conflicts. We can be expected to maintain our neutrality in the future."

 

[Endur]

Velasta responds to Torellan with a big smile on her face, "I have heard of the perfect slave. His name is Randal Morn! Will you bring him back from Dagger Falls, my champion?"

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

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

Kilcif inspects the items for trickery while he slides the few potions he has from his backpack into the pouches on his new belt. As he debates rather or not to ask the drow commoner it he’s been in the noble section he decides to small talk first, “Do you have any potions to go in the belt you are selling?”

OOC: If he does I'm wanting: cure light wounds x8, hide from undead x2, 500 GP. If he doesn’t have hide from undead does he have holy water? I honestly doubt it but who knows…

 

[Xael]

"Ah yes, of course I can do that. I'm sure matron will be pleased to hear it..." Quertus grins as he speaks: "Are you perhaps concerned about another possible revolution?"

 

[Endur]

The merchant, a sarcastic female drow commoner named Kilrawen, says
"The only potions we carry are Cure Light Wounds. And you are lucky that we have two of them in stock. Every potion we had was shipped out with the caravan two weeks ago."

The female mechant laughs hysterically when Kilcif asks for "Hide from Undead" and "Holy Water." She taunts Kilcif and says he would have better luck visiting a merchant in Dagger Falls.

There are several other male and female drow in the tavern/store.

 

[Endur]

Solom responds to Quertus,
"No, I have no concerns about another revolution.

"I am certain that Dorina and Matron Ki'Willis will get along fabulously.

"I am also certain that if there were any problems, the problems would be resolved before the Inverted Tower even became aware of the problem."

 

[Dalamar]

A thinking look overtakes Torellan's face.
"Randal Morn... I'll have to remember that... Do you know how he looks?"
With a smile, he also adds "I doubt I could just ask my way to him."
