[QUOTE="CRGreathouse, post: 1182817, member: 474"] Walking to the wealthy North Quarter, Taliz heads for the Terta estate. Knocking, he asks the doorward for the Lady: "I'm afraid that the good Lady is not available this moment; may I ask your business?" Hearing your answer, he continues: "She left for Landris some four days past, intending to return in a fortnight. As to your other questions: it has been in the Tertae family for five generations, during most of which it has been in Brightstone. I don't know to what end it was taken: none, an unlikely random theft; ransom, perhaps an inside job; or defamation by association? It is difficult to trace, perhaps, until the robber or his agent sells it. It is quite distinctive: a jeweled amulet perhaps this size [gestures with hands, about 6cmx4cm] with script letters along the side. It has small figures in relief along the edge, [...description continues...]." Asked of its use: "As an heirloom of the House, it's insulting to have it stolen and bandied about like so much silver. They've always said it blessed the House with luck, and blame it [i]in absentia[/i] for minor misfortunes. To you, though, I'd say it's worth is 6 gold bars." "I don't share your optimism on the elves, and so have interest in finding more. How much do you ask?" Go ahead. I want Andy's input before going further on the cult, but other areas are open.
