"Oh COMMON!!!  What in the nine hells is happening here. We had a sweet gig, a house, funds, work  of a sort, and a place for me to play.  Now we have to find these assassins, who know where we live, what you look like, and now thanks to tall dark and stupid over there that I'm involved and where I play.  If that wasn't enough, now we are being forced to carry out an assassination for a priest of mask... grrrrrreat!  Because you know, mask is known for trustworthiness and forthright honesty, so a Geas by one of his priest isn't likely to be anything more than it seems...  And YOU Alric, what in the nine hells did you commit us to?  Is it YOU that's going to convince no less than eight religious groups to get along?  Going to convince them of the error of their ways were you, or did you perhaps think I would sweet talk them into a big giant religious orgy???"  Kirio forces himself to calm down, counting down from 10 in Elven he continues in a calmer voice.  "alright, well I know little of geas, but I am certainly not submitting to one.  A geas is a powerful spell that requires the recipient to undertake a specific course of action. Failure to do so, while under the influence of the spell, can result in any number of negative effects whose impact on the subject are limited only by the imagination of the spell caster; I'm sure a priest of Mask can think of a few things to inflict upon you Lars if you fail in his assigned task, the least of which is probably death. Seems to me if we are going to bother, we might as well eliminate the person/persons who hired merrywinter in the first place.  That's Caladan of House Galavir, long may he take banes cock in the ass after his death, but killing him may be difficult, although we could convince him it is not in his interest.  Arnir, we ran into Thalan outside the city when we first arrived.  Do you think he could be of assistance?  I'll do a bit of asking around about embassies, but it's likely a temporary one set up by the shahalesti blockade.  From the letter it sounds like merrywinter is an apprentice in the local assassin's guild, and they seem to worship Cyric, Lord of the Three Crowns is one of his names.  For those of you not versed in the pantheon, I'm looking at you here Alric because it seems now we have two more gods to worry about, he is also known as Prince of Lies, the Dark Sun, the Black Sun, and the Mad God.  He deals with wonderful things like murder, lies, deception, illusion, strife, intrigue. In days gone by, Cyric and Mask worked together to kill the god Bhaal, who was then known as the Lord of Murder. Since the end of Bhaal, both Cyric and Mask have warred for control over various aspects of that God's portfolio - most notably murder and assassination.  So now you all know why this lovely priest of Mask wants to mess them up. IF we mess up that organization, likely satisfying the priest, maybe it will be harder to hire an assassin to kill Arnir's bitchy ass, but let me tell you, the prospect of attacking an assassin's guilds is... how do I put this... about as enticing as being forced to sexually pleasure an army of the undead." with that Kirio leaves in a bit of a huff to go see what he can find out about this mysterious embassy...OOC: Kirio taking 20 on Kowledge check religion for Lord of Three Crowns, total 27</blockquote>
