Message: <blockquote data-quote="Krago o'the Mountain" data-source="post: 2513363" data-attributes="member: 34882">Jenya shakes her head a bit at the formal introductions of Konstantine and William. "Please....just 'Jenya' will do. I'm an ordinary woman who speaks plainly. There is no reason to stand on ceremony with me."  "High Priest Sarcem Delasharn is on an extended visit to Sasserine for the dedication a new shrine there. In his absence, I am entrusted to oversee the daily affairs of this temple." (OOC: We'll presume that Galen, also, expresses some sort of interest...) Jenya seems pleased at the group's interest in her proposal. She begins, "As Ruphus has said, four children were kidnapped from the Lantern Street Orphanage three nights ago. It does appear that these are the most recent in the series of strange disappearances and robberies that have plagued Cauldron in recent weeks. In the wake of these kidnappings, the Church of St. Cuthbert has publicly vowed to locate the missing children and bring the kidnappers to justice. We simply could not stand idly by any longer." Jenya continues, "To aid in locating the children, I borrowed an item from church's vault, a magical mace named the Star of Justice. It has the ability to divine the will and wisdom of our lord St. Cuthbert directly. Its use is normally restricted to only the High Priest, but in his absence, I felt justified in calling on the mace's power. I asked of it the question, "Where are the children who were abducted from the Lantern Street Orphanage?" The response I received was a cryptic riddle, which I have written down." Jenya hands the group a notes which reads:  <img src="http://www.freewebs.com/nrfc49/Riddle%20Note.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />  Jenya says, "I believe that the first line of the riddle holds an important clue, but I don't know what 'locks' the message refers to...perhaps those at the Orphanage. In any case, I need your help to decipher this riddle, find the missing townsfolk...especially the children...and punish those responsible for their crimes. I offer a reward of 2500 gold pieces for your aid. What say you?"</blockquote>
