Okay, here's what I've got to say to that. First, I am on your side. The King is too big for its own pants and needs to be cut down to size. I think the Church can do that, Fact is, there probably the only ones that can do it. Second, I'm glad you mentioned coin, cause its gonna cost. I hope you got a lot of it. Your word is good for me, Zoick, but it might be kinda pricy."I can do that, as long as I have time to get it together." Answers Zoick.He nods, then continues, "You may notice that I'm not so young anymore, but I wasn't stupid then and aint now. Thirty some years ago there was a big political fallout over some high placed knight who slew a bunch of other high placed knights. The Church in Antioch tried to keep a lid on it, but it was just too big. About the same time, a big deal in Malta went out to add that third face to the mountain, but that proved to be a cover, really a big dungeon complex was built back there using magic and all.  Over the next months, all four mages that worked on it were killed. Six weeks later a big shipment arrived in town by sea and promptly dissapeared, and a couple weeks after the ship that carried it vanished in a freak storm. Thats just way to much coincidence for me."So I poked around a bit, as long as I've been alive, there always been the legend of a secret religious archive in Antioch, and I figured maybe this was it. For years I ran into discrete dead ends. Really Dead ones sometimes. Until one day about 15 year ago, I was poken around and overheard a conversation, where is none of your business, about some books that "Come from the Temple, powerful stuff.""So, I decided to throw caution to the wind and break into that supposed dungeon behind the faces. Toughest bit o work I ever did. Took me three years of trying but finally got in there. Theres not much comin and goin into the place. The only way in is, well, nevermind that. All it is is rows and rows of crates, filled with old stuff, old scrolls and old books. Anyway, I poked around for a couple hours and then got caught! But the catcher was an old elven priest, who had been sneakin in too, and couldn't get out. We struck a bargain, and eventually a friendship. He is currently the foremost authority on the hidden stash and has a bone to grind with the government. But getting to him will cost you, but you may even like the price. You In?"</blockquote>
