[QUOTE="Insight, post: 5536134, member: 11437"] A frown crosses the shop owner's face. [color=gold]"I wish things were that easy, friend. You see, that map you were interested in. You're not the [i]only[/i] ones with an interest in finding it. Or, more correctly, finding its creator."[/color] [color=gold]"A rather rough gentleman from the Veiled Society paid me a visit not too long ago. I didn't appreciate his tone. Or his threats against anyone looking for said map or a Mr. Rory Barbarossa. I've no idea who that is. Well... I suppose I shouldn't be so [i]coy[/i]. Of course, I know that he voyaged to the Isle of Dread and sketched the map in question. I have to play dumb or... that foul man would drip candle wax on me or worse!"[/color] A nervous look appears on Boloum's face and he shifts in place. [color=gold]"Nevertheless, it's been made quite clear to me that seeking that map is going to run someone afoul of the Veiled Society and I have no wish to cause myself any further trouble."[/color] He looks at the assembled heroes. [color=gold]"There's no doubt in my mind that this information does little to deter your effort. That courage should be applauded. Unfortunately, applause does little to protect you against the three dozen Veiled Society thugs headed here RIGHT NOW!"[/color] Boloum turns to a bookshelf and pulls out a book. One of the walls swivels slightly in place, revealing an opening. [color=gold]"Go. Quickly. And if you can warn your cohorts in some way, I would suggest doing so. You will be well protected if you use my safe passage, but they must not know where you've gone. Hurry!"[/color] [/QUOTE]
