Lost Homeland

Entering the city, you notice that everything is going on as normal in Lecrutia. People are selling their wares on the street. Upon closer look, you notice that some consist of food, some of jewelry, some clothes, etc. The food, for the most part, consists of simple fares. From the breakfast in the Dead Man Walking Inn and Manifest, you get the distinct feeling that there isn't a huge variety of food within the Land of the Dead, or at least not that the common people can afford.

Their fashions consist of everything, from boring, drab outfits, to outlandish costumes. Unsurprisingly, this city has the appearance of people bringing in their own nation's sense of fashion and combining them with the fashions of other nations and what is current.

You come to a building with a sign hanging of the door with words you cannot understand beneath an open book. Standing in the street just far enough to ruin the flow of traffic is a statue of average height. It is of a woman with long hair streaming from a cowled head. Her face, although visible, contains no true features of any sort except lightly indented positions where her eyes should be and a slight bump for a nose. Her figures, although decidedly female, could easily be hidden to become a male had this been a real person. Her clothes are of a nondescript nature, simple leathers.

Assuming this is the place from the directions of the city guard, you enter the building. Inside is but a single room with a small desk. Sitting behind the desk is a slim young man with beautiful feathers resting down his back. His eyes are slanted and his ears hidden by the white hair down to his shoulders. He looks at you with intelligent, light blue eyes as you enter. Sitting in front of him is a thick tome on which rests his hands.

"Yes? How can I help you?" he asks, speaking in Gnome. His eyes slide to Vita. He says something to her that neither of you are able to understand before returning his eyes to you two Gnomes. "I assume you're looking for someone, else you wouldn't be here," he says, returning to Gnome.

Walking up to the desk I nod my head saying "Good day sir. As I'm sure you can already tell we are from Lecrutia and are indeed in search of someone. A kobald was recently slain in battle a few days ago and we wish to speak with him on his fathers behalf. The kobold went by the name of Meinrad (insert last name here)."
 

The Vita Ghost: Don't Leave Home Without Her

Alth bows and says, "As Freylin so elagantly described the person, we hope that you have knowledge of the person. The matter is urgent and we were rushed into this land with little knowledge of this realm too." Pauses abit and says, "I have not seen a person of your kind before. Pardon my rudeness, but what is your race like, and what is the name of your race?"

OOC: I don't know if i need to make a knowledge check for it, but I figured after being around my masters unique habit of collecting odd stuff and lore...that this is another oppurtunity to learn something new.

Skitter stands up straight shuffles over to me abit aggitated, and says something softly in my ear.

[sblock=To DM Only] Skitter stands up straight shuffles over to me and whispers, "Is Zalhown The Changer in there too? Your ability to find wizards to change me back, is getting as feeble as a halfling playing a drinking game."

I am putting this in an sblock because I am seeing if you would perfer this way when Skitter actually bothers to grace us with his 'uplifting' speeches. Sometimes, he is so impossible!! Anyways, if you would like it this way, I can put things like this if you want. This is just a test.

"Meinrad, eh?" He repeats the name in a whispered tone as he begins flipping through the book. A couple of minutes later, he looks up to you. "Nope. There's no Meinrad in here, family name or no. That means he has either been incarcerated or he has passed on for whatever reason or I suppose he could already be alive and you just don't know it yet.

As for what I am, I am an Avariel, a winged Elf, if you will."


[Sblock=Alth]I don't think your companion can speak that well with only a 2 Int.[/Sblock]
 

Standing there in silent thought, a displeased look plain upon my face, I focus back on the man and ask " Thank you for your help so far, but a couple questions has been raised in my mind. Is there any way to find out weather he has been incarcerated or been brought back alive? Or perhaps there may be a way to tell if he is a ghost but hasn't checked in yet, perhaps even checked in with a different registry branch, assuming others do exist?"
 

"Across the street and two buildings to your right is the Hall of Farewell. It isn't absolutely going to have the answers you need, but if the person hasn't signed up, that's the best place to look," he tells you. "This is the only Registry, so if he has arrived and not yet signed in, then there's absolutely nothing I can do for you. Sorry."
 

Giving the man a slight curtsy I say "Thank you for your aid sir."

I then glance at Alth and ask "ready to go?"

Assuming he is I then follow the directions to the other building.
 


The man returns his attention to the book, flips to near the end, scans the names, and then looks up to you. He shakes his head. "No, I'm sorry, I don't see that name in here, with or without the addition of 'the Changer.' I hope you two are able to find those you are looking for."

As you are leaving, he says something to Vita who nods.
 

"Hrm, seems like the guy we are looking for either hasn't been to this place, or isnt dead dead. Now, we gotta figure out where to go from here."
