For Gorion

St Macedone is the St with the portfolio of knowledge. It is unknown if he would support Cuthbert or not. His order is mostly librarians and researchers.

Figure you have about 1200gp available.

A cleric can only Commune with his own diety, so what the elf told you was right.

From the Spell Description:
"In cases where a one-word answer would be misleading or contrary to the deity’s interests, a short phrase (five words or less) may be given as an answer instead.

The spell, at best, provides information to aid character decisions. The entities contacted structure their answers to further their own purposes. If you lag, discuss the answers, or go off to do anything else, the spell ends."

You will be able to ask 11 yes/no questions of St Macedone. (if elf casts it) or St Cuthbert, if you successfully cast it from the scroll.

Do you have any Cleric levels? If No, then the scroll is not an option.

Mylander smiles.

"I will set up a meeting then. I'll contact you. Step through that door there."

He gestures to a small door in the rear of the cabin.

Zoick, knowing his time with Mylander is up, steps through the door and finds himself again in a back room of Kings Cross. He is politely escorted to the main dining area and seated at a table.

Antioch

Randall and Elbereth check into the "Mongrel and Mitre" and have a dinner of vegetables and light wine. They talk quietly in a corner before most of the usual crowd arrives.

R-" I believe the gems to be the real thing. The red one is almost surely the one I had carried for a while."

E- "I, too believe they are real. Salix's blade was not even close to what it looked like. The historians only had two things right: it had a blade, and the correct inscription. The gold - certainly not on the blade we saw being forged. The metal was not like the ore we brought to the smith."

R-"What did you notice about the security?"

E-" You pantomime was funny, but it did allow me to look all around the case with the gems in it. All the cases and displays appear to be similar, but the workmanship varies. Some cases in the museum are good and some are nice and functional. But the precious items have specially made cases. This is such a case. It is physically locked, hinged on the inside. I suspect it is magically sealed as well, considering the perfectness of the jointery.

I also noted that windows are barred. Some do not look like it, but the tracery in the leaded glass windows is certainly stronger that it first appears. The doors to each room are well maintained and clean. I suspect the are closed nightly."

R-"We know for sure that we can not teleport in or out of the museum. My guess is that any magic uses will be detected, unless at a level far higher than we can do to avoid detection. As the gems are real, it would be hard to replicate them well enough to switch them without notice. In other words, it would take a thief of high caliber to to this job. That is not us."

Elbereth nods in agreement. "So, that leaves us with getting the blue gem from the store in Malta, and having Master A. help us here. Perhaps we can pick up some other news of the murders, the pasty white haired elves, or whats going on with the funeral and conclave."

R-"That sounds right. Shall we return to Alderweg after the funeral, hope for news of our friends, and then return here for the conclave?"

E-"Two days here would be enough..."

They continue talking about common topics as the tavern fills with others and privacy can not be assured. They plan to listen in around town to conversations, high ranking people especially.

Towards evening, Randall and Elbereth go out scouting for information.
After Randall leaves the inn, he enters the stable and transforms into a common barred owl and leaves a few mice quaking in the straw as he flies toward the inns frequented by the higher eschelons of the church.

Finding a few men entering an inn, he alights on the roof in the shadows and strains to hear any snippets of conversation. He repeats this as conversations dwindle or groups leave for another inn or meeting.

Elbereth, performs a similar transformation, but heads for the poorer districts and the areas by the wharf.
To Be Continued...
 

Gori'On

Well since i have no clerical ability to cast thet spell from a scroll it seems i will have to get my answers through your saint. First question will be "Did the patriarch Dion get poisoned to stop St. Cuthberts rentry to the pantheon?" 2nd question is "The person or group who poisined him are they affiliated with the church?" 3-8 i ask if they are affiliated with St jonas, st keoghtom, st salix, stxantas, st dismass or st angus..stopping when i get an afirmation . Of course these questions only follow a confirmation thet they are indeed affiliated with the church. the next question will be determined by the answers.
 

Location: Malta

Durodiel stops you.

"No no no, the spell doesn't work like that. It happens much too quickly. You need to write out all 11 questions. It takes about 10 minutes to cast the spell, I weave the questions into the spell casting. Then in about 1 minute, you get rapid answers to all questions. Please take your time composing the list. I will get the incense and holy water and prepare to cast the spell."
 

1)those who poisened Patriarch Dion related to church?
2)are they affiliated with st salix
3) " " st angus
4) " " StDismass
5)was the patriarch onto something concerning those apposed to cuthberts reentry
6)Does fergus know anyhting concerning his own poisining, ie who may have done it.
7)Does cuthberts reentry pose a threat to another sect
8)do you know who poisined the patriarch
9)what is his name
10 )can the poisoner be found here in malta
11)will i get to kill him
 

Location: Malta

Durodiel emerges several minutes later washed up and wearing priestly robes of St Macedone. He spends a few moments in prayer, then begins an elaborate ritual that involves the holy water and the lighting of the incence. The smell of incense thickens dramatically as he incants on his knees, weaving your questions into the spell. The strain and fatigue this generates is evident on his face. After about 10 minutes of this, he stops chanting and is silent. His face glows in an unearthly manner and his eyes remain closed. His lips move rapidly, saying nothing for about an minute, then the incense abruptly clears and he slumps face first to the ground, the spell complete.

"Read me the questions, quickly." He says

Gori'on does so:

1)Are those who poisoned Patriarch Dion related to church? NO
2)Are they affiliated with St Salix? NO
3)Are they affiliated with St Angus? NO
4)Are they affiliated with St Dismas? NO
5)Was the Patriarch onto something concerning those opposed to Cuthberts reentry? NO
6)Does Fergus know anything concerning his own poisoning? NO
7)Does Cuthberts reentry pose a threat to another sect? UNCLEAR
8)Do you know who poisoned the Patriarch? YES
9)What is his name No Answer
10)Can the poisoner be found here in Malta? UNCLEAR
11)will i get to kill him? UNCLEAR

Durodiel stands and spends a few moments composing himself. "That'll be a thousand gold please. Anything else I can do for you?"
 

Location: Malta

Zoick enjoys a very late nice dinner seated by himself at Kings Cross. Though he maintains constant watchfulness, nothing other than what would expect at an expensive restaurant occurs.

He makes his way across town, back to the Golden Hind and check into his room. He is promptly asleep.

He awakes late, to a pounding on his door. He slips his blade into his hand and cozies up to the wall next to the door. "Who's there?"

"Its me, Miriam, lets go, its almost lunchtime."

Zoick lets Miriam enter. "Found out anything?" She asks.
 

Elbereth in Antioch

As Randall flies off, Elbereth walks around the corner of the inn to an unoccupied dark corner to shift into a dark barn owl and takes off for the wharfs and any ships currently docked. After listening to all she can find there, she heads to the poor areas to do the same. En route she swoops down in a field chasing dinner - a mouse she sighted among the wheat stalks.
