Looking above, you notice the awe-inspiring sights of the towers of Sharn. From your position, the Skyway is partially blocking the sun, but you can still make out hippogriffs and gargoyles darting from tower to tower. A skycoach comes flying by, with a figurehead of a swan embedded on the bow of the ship, and its wings engraved along the side. Knowing what you know, there are slim chances that the skycoach will be landing anywhere near your current location.You find yourself strolling thru a section of Sharn known as Deathsgate. Deathsgate, located on Middle Tavick’s landing, is where most neophyte adventurers in Sharn end up at one point or another. While traveling through the streets, you notice all sorts of adventurers, mercenaries, and explorers, all busy with their own agendas. As you are walking, you take notice of some of the newer developments of the quarter: Maynar’s Menagerie, a House Vidalis owned shop which specializes in exotic pets and animal companions, seems to have gotten a shipment of two blink dogs; Bottled Silver, the potion merchant, is running a deal: 20% off Cure Light Wounds potions (limit 2 per party); someone has yet again busted down the door of Karr’Aashta’s Investigations, and it seems Karr’Aashta himself is overseeing the installation of a replacement door; and the other shops, from Ancient Blades to The Labyrinth, to Dark Words, all seem to be enjoying the hustle and bustle of the day. Like wise, the various Dragonmarked houses (Jorasco, Deneith, and Sivis) seem busy, while the temples (to the Silver Flame and the Sovereign Host) and shrines (to Dol Dorn and Olladra) seem empty. The guilds seem to be recruiting yet again, to your frustration, seeing as how you do not meet the requirements to enter either the Deathsgate Adventurers Guild or the Guild of Starlight and Shadow. And while your companion Fixer’s shop is down the road a few blocks, you’re all here for one reason only right now: Redblade’s.As always, Redblade’s tavern is a hodgepodge of activity. The tavern seems to be catering to its usual host of adventurers, and good old Redblade himself is behind a bar, flirting with a fellow half-orc that seems to be encouraging his advances, if for nothing else than the free ale. As you walk in, Redblade takes note of your entry. "Ah, friends!" he shouts across the loud room "check out the posting board… you might see something that meets your liking!"Posted on the board is a pristine placard, which seems out of place with the other weathered and worn postings. Written in common, the placard reads:WANTED!!! Intrepid adventurers to help protect the Cogs! Seeking a party of stout adventurers to investigate the disappearances of an excavation team in the Cogs! Protect the remaining excavation team from giving their lives for Ashblack! 100 gp each up front, remaining reward negotiable! For employment, see Vestan ir’Simul in Platinate, Upper Menthis PlateauFor Ka’ash:[SBLOCK]As you and the rest of your party are reading the posting board, Peaches perks up her head and looks at a nearby table. Following her gaze, you notice a group of adventurers watching you. As your party is reading the board, one of them (a human male wearing a chain shirt) seems to shake his head a bit in what appears to be a vague warning. After being assured his message was understood, he turns to his companions and joins them in their conversation.[/SBLOCK]Actions?OOC: When posting here, please put your character's name, race and class in the title. Please choose a color for your character's speech, as it makes it easier for me to skim thru who said what. And for OOC discussion, do what I am doing here. And off we go...</blockquote>
