Lady Elaydren replies.

"The reward is equitable to the danger, yes", replied Lady Elaydren.

" A servant of the Lord of Blades killed Bonal and I know the warforged prophet wants the schema for his own dark purposes.

Other than the Lord of Blades, who may have other agents seeking the schema, who knows what lurks in the hidden places beneath the city? Now that I think about it, Bonal did say that he would definitely need to bring fire on the expedition. I wonder what he meant? Anyway, I urge caution, but I am completely confident that you can handle anything you may encounter in your search. ", continued the Lady.

If the party accepts the quest Lady Elaydren is willing to give the party 100gp upfront to outfit the expedition.

OCC: If someone wants to add anything to their inventory let me know and we can come up with a short list for the party up to 100gp.

Adal bows to the Lady

"If this is to be a struggle against a killer of men, then I can certainly walk this path. I accept your payment, and your mission."

Amazed at the journal more than anything else, Morphain looks on in wonder until he realises The Lady has stopped speaking. "My Lady? What exactly is the Heirloom?"
He drinks some water and thjinks about how House Cannith used to think the warforged were posessions not people and wonders if she's asking them to become slavers.

The relic I seek is an adamantine plate in the shape of a seven-pointed star about the size of your hand," Elaydren explains. "It has no special power by itself, but is an ancient schema—a piece of a pattern used by the Cannith artificers of old to craft unusual items. Recover this piece of history for us, and House Cannith will be extremely grateful."

Day 2, 07:30.

Lady Elaydren thanks the party for their help, smiling at Adal in acknowledgement for the respectful bow. She hands the party a small leather purse containing 100gp and a map showing how to get to the sewer level of the Dorasharn Tower.

OCC: The walk to Dorasharn Tower is not far so the party will have time to resupply if needed along the way.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Morphain

"Oh this is exciting. I've never been below street level before. I wonder what's down there? I have heard tales of people buying baby Clawfoots and when they get too big they let them loose in the sewers. Do you think that's true Adal?" Morphain says as he tries to mimic the look of a dinosaur without much success.

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

Adal looks at Morphain with a very serious visage.

"I believe that truth is what we will find at the end of the path we walk."

He then breaks into a broad smile

"Even the truth of Clawfoots in the sewers."

Day2, 15:20.

The party can easily follow Elaydren's map to the sewer level of the Dorasharn Tower. The tower, one of the more ancient spires of the city, is inhabited from its middle levels on up. A complex sewer system separates the inhabited levels from the lower levels that have been closed and sealed for more than a thousand years.
The party needs help finding the E-213 Valve Cluster, and the best place to find such assistance is at the Rat's Market.

The tunnels and corridors at this level of the tower are narrow and dark. An occasional window slit looks out upon the crowded walls and foundations of other towers, and infrequently placed torches sputter here and there, giving off pallid pools of light and clouds of smoke. Even so, rough and dirty people crowd the narrow corridors, and the smell of sweat and sewage permeates the stale air.

One tunnel opens onto a large chamber, where a mix of goblins, humans, and shifters gather around a small pile of garbage spread across three rotting blankets. One of the goblins shouts, "No pushing! No pushing! There's always enough for everyone at the Rat's Market!"

What does the party want to do?

OCC: If combat starts any player who has not posted for a couple of days will automatically be a NPC for the combat.

 

[Morpheus]

Uri pushes his way through the crowd to see what everone is so interested in. When he gets to the front and sees that there are goblins selling junk, he spits.

"Goblins! The filthy scum. It's a sure bet that if goblins are sellng something, it's either stolen, worthless or both. I wouldn't trust 'em as far as I could throw 'em."

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

"Uri, it would be wise to reserve judgments upon knowing with whom you are dealing."

Adal approaches one of the goblin's wares and examines what the goblin has.

 

[Ringmereth]

"Like it or not, we need their assistance," Aronsetash tells Uri. He follows Adal, on his guard for scammers, cutpurses, and other varieties of criminal.
