Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 6740794" data-attributes="member: 2012">The common room of the Felled Ogre:"I fancied myself a treasure seeker in my youth, but I found I had no stomach for fighting monsters," Dongar says. "Fought a web of giant spiders once. It gave me the shakes. I'm now happy making coin with my forge.""Durst drank something that didn't agree with him? That sounds fishy. He's got a cast-iron stomach," Wilie says. Dongar nods in agreement. Wilie asks Aileen Borya and Durst are upstairs, "in the family room." She nods and Wilie excuses himself to check on Durst and his cousin. Aileen hands him a big bowl of stew for Borya before he heads upstairs.The note is, surprisingly, written in Draconic. The same as Sarten's own note. The quill-strokes seem different, however. Not written by the same hand. The note reads as follows:"To Mr. Wilie, keeper of the Market Bridge in Bard's Gate,I have a task for you of the utmost importance. In time, eight heroes will come to see you in Bard's Gate. They will not all arrive together although some of them might know each other. I cannot tell you why I've recruited them, but it should become clear once they have gathered together on the Market Bridge. A message will be delivered in a timely fashion once enough of them have gathered together.I know there is a toll for using the bridge, so I have included 1 gold for each of them. That is a total of 8 gold plus another gold for your time regarding this matter. While it might be to your benefit to keep this information to yourself, I am not concerned with secrecy. Everything has already been set in motion and my enemies are unlikely to learn of these heroes before they are gathered. Once together, they will be a force to be reckoned with, of that I am sure.Thank you for your help in this matter.Sincerely, S.H.p.s. Mr. Wilie, you an I have never met, so do not concern yourself with trying to put a name to my initials."The message is written clearly and without any hesitation. Sarten can tell the writer is highly intelligent and speaks like most human mages he's dealt with in his life. Just as he is about to hand the note to Jagr, the ink on the page glows and another postscript magically appears on the page."Sarten, I am glad you have arrived safely. Please gather with the others on Market Bridge once more than six of you have arrived in Bard's Gate. You will receive directions that will guide you in the quest that must be completed. Please make sure Mr. Wilie is there as well. He can direct latecomers if the rest of you do not wish to wait."OOC: BTW, I use one of the black background themes here on EN World.</blockquote>
