Project Black Dagger - MISSION: SIREN'S CALL

[Viking Bastard]

Fergus's interest is spiked and he literally jumps onto his feet.

"Yes, I do remember such a crest actually. Now where did I put
those files?"

He works his way through large piles of files, books and folders
until he finds a large red folder with the Guild's logo on the cover.

"Here it is! Crests, logos and shields issued by the Guild."

He looks pleased with himself as he opens the gargantuan folder
and dives inside.

"There are three ways to get a crest: Firstly, you simply inherited it,
either by a Guild citizen or from a foreigner. Second, you get issued
one by the Guild, for examplary service for the Guild. The Guildmasters
for example get one the minute they accept the title. Third, and the
most common, you simply buy one. But it doesn't come cheap. You
need a lot of money to afford that."

He smirks to himself as if at some private joke.

"And I think... that... this one... waaas... eh... a bought one... Defalietti!
That vain bugger. Hah!"

He pulls a file out of the folder and throws it into your arms. The first
thing you see is a picture of a green marble crest with a golden 'D'
below a ingraved picture of a dragon or monster of some kind.

"
Defalietti has always seen himself as noble and claims he has blood
connections to the Kentaari royal family. As far as my research tells me
he's only connected to farmers, fishermen and the occasional scoundrel.
No blue blood in his veins."

He laughs loudly after that last comment. This is obviously very amusing
to him.

"Brandy anyone?"

 

[Festy_Dog]

"Brandy anyone?"

"How could I refuse?" Fealnns replies jovially, "You seem to find much reason to celebrate this find. You have something against this Defalietti, yes? If you do you'll be pleased to know that he's now a prime suspect in our current case."

 

[Viking Bastard]

"Is he indeed?" *Snicker* "Not that he is in any way a criminal mastermind. Far as I know he is as a legimate business man. But he is though a snobby, cocky, vain son of a bitch that just really bugs me."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

McAllister has been looking at the books all this time and listening to the exchange when he suddenly picks up a book and says, Astounding! You have an original copy of "VanHuzans Dichotomy of Reality" And it's signed! Mac turns to the half orc and looks both shocked and very impressed. I've been looking for one of these for years.
He realises he has gone off on a tangent and says, Is there any way we can can scry this Defalietti?

 

[Xael]

"Well, now that we finally got some leads, that brandy would be appropriate.", Jack says. "I think we still have time to get depressed when we visit Mr. Defalietti."

 

[Viking Bastard]

Astounding! You have an original copy of "VanHuzans Dichotomy of Reality" And it's signed! Mac turns to the half orc and looks both shocked and very impressed. I've been looking for one of these for years.

"Ah, yes. I bought that of some old man in Carthill. I was able to get him to
drop the price because of that scribble on the inside of the cover."

He chuckles at his own cleverness but quickly stops when he sees that noone
else is laughing.

"Yes, anyway, what about that brandy?"

He gets glasses and fills it up with his best brandy and hands it over to the group.

"Cheers!"

 

[Keia]

"Cheers!"

Keldor walked into the library, safety plugs in hand, and looked around in surprise. "What are drinking to?" Keldor asked.

Then Keldor saw Fergus pouring the drinks and a smile appeared on his face (which was odd to the group because usually that smile was reserved for after blowing things up). "Fergus, ya old hoot! Nobody said you were hidin' here in the library course I don't think I've ben in this room in years. Haven't seen you in, what, 8 years? How are you? Good news, huh?"

 

[Viking Bastard]

"Indeed! Far too long. How have the years been treating you, you
old wanker?"

He smiles a wide smile that showcases his orc-ish fangs.

"I see that you moved on from blowing up stone to blowing up
people from the look of it, that is, if you really are hanging out
with this shadowy bunch of people. You finally got bored with
mining for gold and gems, eh?"

 

[Keia]

"Nahh, I still mine, but there 'are too many people mining right now. Can't get anythin' decent done without bumping into someone or another. Most just don't get the idea of enjoyment of simply being alone. Maybe I should start hangin out in the library, could probably get some alone time then." Keldor grinned.

"As for these guys, they had need of my services, and now they needed yours too. What do you know, they must be okay. You find them their green do-hickey? And if so, you think they'd be at the ball tonite?" Keldor asked.

 

[Viking Bastard]

"The 'Annual Guild Ball' tonight? You think there's something
gonna happend there, eh? If so, I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Whe you say it, it would be a perfect place to hit if you are
wanting to take down the Guild. The majority of it's members will
be here, well, minus some 'lost' invitation cards."
He laughs.

"The Guild has some members the high-ups would rather forget."
