Alderweg - secret room /books

Randall looks through the books, taking a few minutes each to get a better idea of what each contains. The book on "leadership and influence", as well as the one on "intuition," seems more interesting to Randall. [plz describe the nature of each booka bit]

He also peruses the book set on chronomancy while the others look at the books.

"Current coin - how could that be? I guess a time traveler could have come from the past to now, the future to now... Wait - it would have has to have been since we raised the keep. We have to figure more about this time travel thing... And probably figure out if we can prevent someone from teleporting into this room."

Adlerweg - The Secret Room

Each book is a thick tome that appears to enhance a particular ability of a person.

The book that Callitheus is holding has a title page the clearly indicates that reading this book will augment the readers intellect. Your knowledge of spellcraft leads you to believe that each book can be read only once before depleting its magic.

The books are

Leadership and Influence- Claimed by Randall.
Understanding - claimed by Callitheus.
Clear Thought (Intuition) - Claimed by Elbereth
Bodily Health - Claimed by Zoick
Gainful Excercise - Claimed by Trailen
Quickness of Action - Claimed by Miriam

The set on Chronomancy is a (long) discussion of the forces of magic utilized in Time Magic. It describes the actions and training needed to study this branch of magic. It is essentially a textbook that a skilled trainer would use to instruct someone toward the end of being a Chronomancer.

Zoick's actions

Zoick wanders over to the alley that the young lad had pointed out.

Turning the corner he sees three men loitering outside a doorway with a painting of a large rat that has a gold earring and is clutching a dirk in it's right front paw.

"Ah, Spadefish, how did I know you'd be here wasting your time with these no good low-lifes?" He nods to a burly human with a glass pipe in his hand. "Tuggert, how's the missus?" Then Zoick whips forward and pins a small woman against the wall... she's wearing a dirty white dress and has tatoos and piercings all over her body and face. " And Estuela, I believe you still owe me some coin from our bet regarding the cost of a rasher at the Tubby Stoat... don't worry...", easing off his grip now, "I'll settle for a kiss." Zoick leans in.

"In your wildest you blind dotard," Estuala smiles, "2 GP, just as I'd said and not worth half that."

"What brings you to these parts again?" asks Spadefish. "Surely not to collect on old wagers."

"Actually," Zoicks says, "I need to see you in private old friend."

"Sounds OOOMMMIInus." jokes Tuggert.

"Okay, lets head to the Stoat for a pint and a rasher," Spadefish laughs and winks at Estuela.

Zoick and Spadefish make their way to the favorite pub of the sailors, thieves, gladiators and spies that frequent the Upper Docks.. The not-so-legendary "TUbby Stoat."

Entering the dingy establishment Zoick is reminded of all that he loved about the place... it's like walking into a fuzzy cave... all the walls lined with skins and furs of various beasts that patrons have hunted, stolen or sought revenge on. In some corners the furs and multi-colored skins are nearly a foot thick. Then he turns to the bar and remembers what he doesn't love about the place. Alcanzuz Whippot, the incredibly good-looking and savvy bar keep. The one whose heart he broke... since then his food and drink at the Stoat had cost him nearly double the GP. He notices her eyes widen in suprise and then, just as quickly, narrow.

Zoick - "Maybe you should order our drinks."

Spade - "Yeah, that's the best route I think, be right back."

Zoick - "Make sure you watch her pour it..."

Coming back to the table with two huge Copper Chalices filled with dark brew..

Spade - So what're you looking for

Zoick - Am I that easy to read

Spade - yup... that's why you haven't hoped over me in the Order.. you always were a
better thief and fighter, but you read like a book under candle

Z- Okay, I'm looking for information on the location of a gem... a very inportant blue gem.
A star gem.

[Gwaihir]

Gori'On Location: Malta

Mencken looks the strange dwarf over. The immensly fat dwarf gets up, walks over to a big keg of pipeweed behind the counter, dips his big black pipe in, lights it, puffs a few times and blows several large smokerings.

"Been a while, you ugly thing. You here to buy something, Ise gots the finest rare cloth from all over Rhiannon, or you justs wants information? Smoke?"

 

[Gwaihir]

Zoick Location: Malta

Spadefish laughs loudly. He is a large man, with a thin face and a large jowl making him look almost fishlike. His large belly indicates that his trade-whatever that may be- has amply provided creature comforts for him.

"Next youll be asking after that Saint's long lost sword too." He smiles broadly. " You know thats the toughest mark in town."

"So lets be a little more basic, " Hisses Zoick, "What large mysterious shipments entered Malta about 40 years back? And where did they wind up."

"Hows I to know, I'm not much older than that? Land or Sea?" Chuckles Spadefish.

"What do you know?" prods Zoick.

"Nuthin, but I bet Mylander 'members."

"He's dead I heard."

"Nope, Jus reformed."

"Where can I find him."

"It'll cost."

"You owe me" Says Zoick, "I'm not paying."

"It aint for me, it to set up a meet with Mylander."

"How much?"

"200, in advance. No magic. What do you say? He was dockmaster for the undermen, 40 years back."

 

[Wadioka]

Z- Okay I'll pay up... but today's drinks are on you then.

S- Fair play. I can set this up for you but it'll take a few days.

Z- No. I need to be quick with this. And, no, it's not your business what the rush is.

S- Your starting to wear on me lad. If not for the ale already bubbling up to my head I'd tell
you to piss off.

Z- Really, I'm not feeling anything much.. maybe it's this book I just read (OOC sidebar...
Zoick decided that he's like to read the tome about "bodily health" and thinks that
his abnormal tolerance might have something to do with his recent jump in Con.)

S- What the heck are you droning on about?

Z- Nothing... I'll come to see you tomorrow afternoon.. if you can have a meeting with
Mylander set up by then It'll be worth a few gold for you, friend.

S- Okay, drink up.

Zoick spends the night playing chess with Miriam and explains that he's got some unfinished business to attend to tomorrow.

Then next day he heads to the Upper Docks again and meets up with Spadefish.

Z- What's the story Spade?

S- Your lucky I helped this guy smuggle in some Red Tornkey Root just last month!
You've got a meeting with him (Mylander) tonight at the Stoat. It's the best of
the options I was given if you can believe that. Don't get too comfortable there though.
I hear that Mylander likes to bring unsavories like you onto his boat... makes him feel
a bit more safe. He'll find you so don't worry about finding him.

Z- Great, I'll be at the Tubby Stoat tonight at sunfalling. If this guy doesn't have any valuable information then the next time we meet drinks will be on you again, pal, and the time after that as well. Take care and thanks... now go play some drumbu or something, you're getting fatter by the minute.

Gori'On cont.

"to the heavens no, smoke'll kill yah quicker then drink.......as for the cloth lets have a look....then some talk."

 

[Gwaihir]

Gori'On: Location Malta

Mencken casts a cantrip that keeps the cloth bolts from smelling like smoke, then waddles off and pulls several bolts of cloth. Once you are interrupted by a customer, A tall wealthy palor skinned, impossibly skinny woman who looks with disgust at Mencken, with delight at his cloth and ignores Gori'on totally.

As you start to talk, you are once again interrupted by "Me friend Enris from Arras, a fellow merchant in cloth." who enters the store. "One minute Enris, I be with ya in a bit." He pulls Gori'on outside with surprising strength.

Mencken takes a long pull from his pipe.

"Theres something strange afoot fer sure. But most of it is going on in Antioch me thinks. First yurn friend Fergus gets invited up to the Big Church, then they find that saint fellers bones, then the Big Priest man turns up dead. I heard some other folks turned up dead too. No namers. Still, Thats all too much coicidence for my sniffer. But ude know more bout that than me I thinks. Cuthbert be gloried, I think use close to gettin accepted. Somethings trying to get in the way though."
