[QUOTE="Iron Chef BBQ, post: 812543, member: 1844"] [b]Entering Vesh (game run on 12-16-02)[/b] Our band of travelers covers 60 miles in three days, hardly a grueling trip. As they travel they begin to see mile markers for the town of Vesh. The landscape changes from forested rolling hills to cleared pastures. Villages begin to sprout up and then prosperous, well-tended farms. At the 10-mile marker they enter a suburb with houses, warehouses, casual guards in blue uniforms, public spaces. At the 2-mile marker they see row houses and come to a large white post fence across the road with a guard in front sitting on a stool. “You’re new here,” he says. Deke replies, “What gave that away. Oops, I need to stop talking.” Five silver pieces and some paperwork later and our band is through the gates and on its way to see Starkey for animal permits and then on to the Temple of Enkili. As they travel through the market district Deke and Lucre notice someone bump into Borin in a suspicious way. When Lucre calls to the boy, he starts to run. Lucre lunges into the crowd and surfaces with a small boy by the scruff of the neck who declares he didn’t take anything. Borin checks his pockets, and oddly nothing is missing, but he has a note that wasn’t there before. After Marja has a nice chat with the boy whose name is Lefty Pete, the group decides to keep him on retainer. They ask him for a recommendation for a place to stay, and he leads them to the Inn of the Knowing Wink. As Pete opens the door they hear a terrible, familiar sound and see a small Halfling playing the bagpipes – It’s Fergus! Fergus is delighted to see the group and introduces them to the innkeeper, Harley Quinn, and a human bard with a winning smile, Kenyan, who shakes his long brown hair that perfectly frames his well-chiseled features. He’s 5’10, clean-shaven and wearing well-fitting, attractive studded leather armor. The group move to a private booth to read the letter slipped to Borin. Kenyan stops by the table to chat about the new casino recently opened at the Temple of Enkili. Borin has discovered that the previous owner (or should we say rightful owner) of his body runs gambling halls for the temple. The letter reads Miss Tallen Windrush Temple of Enkili Holy Street Vesh My Dear Miss Windrush, We are overjoyed that you have come to join us once again. All is in place, and I believe you will find the staff adequately trained. The operation is running smoothly, but not as smoothly as it will with your exquisite hand on the tiller. The Donations and Forecasting portions of our enterprise proceed apace. However, recent downturns have meant that we will need to step up our Inventory Acquisitions. I know this will be difficult, given Veshian law. But I trust your resourcefulness. You may want to consider looking outside of our operations. The Veshians are a charitable people, and those seeking charity are often nameless and easily overlooked. I cannot tell you how pleased I am that you’ve chosen to continue our mutual venture. It has proven to be a very pleasant and profitable association for all concerned, and I trust you will continue to be satisfied with the financial rewards. And, it goes without saying, with the continued security of the collateral you have entrusted to us. I remain, my dear Miss Windrush, your humble and obedient, Victor Diehl P.S. Do stop looking for the Eyes, M’dear. They find it irritating. They do get your messages, and you know they will report as necessary. (end of letter) [/QUOTE]
