Spheres of Influence:Rhiannon in Jepardy? GAME

Airith's pick

Airith turns to Inwe, "Yes I would also like to get to it." He reaches for the immovable rod. "I think I would like to borrow thiiiis." He strains as he tries to move the rod but his attempt is useless. "Ah yes the button." Airith moves the button and sits back down in his chair examining the rod and pressing the button back and forth. "Unless someone else wanted it." He continues to play with the item like a kid with a new toy and waits for the others to pick what is left.

Relsyn

Relsyn partially stands, leans over the table, and looks curiously at the four items revealed by the Archbishop. " I would carry the immovable rod, with the consensus of the party, of course." He pauses, "And I am ready to begin the adventure, and I think we should have a short chat with Monsignor Wescott for starters. If the rest of you do not wish to come, I could meet you somewhere tommorrow after talking with the good Canon."

He stands fully and places the coins given by Archbishop Irwin in his belt pouch.

Wrinkle Waybright

Wrinkle stands and looks at the rod with the circle part as Relsyn and Airith grab for the same bar. He picks up the rod of safety, along with his coin, and mouths 'ready' and signals for the door with a shrug.

Reslyn

Relsyn shrugs as Airith takes the immovable rod. "As you will." He says with more than a hint of disapointment. "Unfortunately, I have no need for the the remaining item, the ring of hiding. Monsignor, I await your convenience to meet with the Canon." He sits and takes a long drink of water from the fancy glass.

"If you would like to borrow the rod I could make do with borrowing the lizard ring." He puts the rod back on the table and picks up the lizard ring. "Probably for the best anyway, less likely to lose this." Places the ring on his finger. "Shouldn't come of of that finger for anything."

Airith also takes the small pouch of coin meant for him, opens it and examines it, and then places it among his possessions. "Are we going to meet with the museum people tonight or tomorrow?"

 

[Gwaihir]

Relsyn

"Are you sure Airith?" Relsyn asks, " I have no desire to create any bad blood in this group, especially given the task and its mentor. While it is true that I see no use for the lizard ring and would find the stationary rod more useful, I will submit to the will of the party. In any case all these objects are for the furtherance of the mission and should be used by all toward that end."

He picks up the immovable rod and experiments with it a bit. Eventually he sets it near his shoulder, and Jewel alights on it.

He directs his attention to the Archbishop, "Monsignor,I would prefer to speak to the Canon yet this evening, if it can be arranged."

 

[Tinuviel]

Inwe stands, puts her bag of coins into her sack. Cildar rises from where he has been lying on the floor to stand by her side, ready to follow her. "I also would like to hear from the canon. And I echo Relsyn in saying tonight if possible."

 

[Zachian]

Airith

"Don't worry about it Relsyn, the ring should prove useful." Airith jumps down from his chair, "Lets get to it, don't want to be up until the wee hours of the morning." He puts the pouch of coins in a bag on Smoke. "Don't worry boy, it's not to heavy." He gives Smoke a pet on the head.

To the Museum

Irwin finishes his tea and sets the cup and saucer down. "Well then, it is to the Museum we go. I thought you might want to see the documents, so I warned Monsignor Westcott that we may be stopping over. The museum will, of ourse, be closed. But, he is more that willing to show you around."

Irwin opens the door to the hall and allows each of you to leave. After signing a paper at the inkeeps desk, Irwin leads your party out the door and down the street toward the center of the city.

The gardens are beautiful, even in the early spring. You approach the museum from the front, the paths of the park flow right up to the raised entrance. After climbing a dozen stairs and you come to thefluted marble façade with heavy iron bound door. Irwin opens the door, allows you to pass in, and then locks the door from the inside. You are in the main entry foyer. Irwin walks over to meet a small man inconspicuously seated at a table in a corner, reading some papers by candle light. After a short talk and a brotherly hug, they walk back to you.

"Welcome, friends, I am Monsignor Westcott, Cannon and curator of the facility here. Monsignor Irwin thought you would like to visit our museum, and I would be delighted to show you around."

"I leave you in Monsignor Westcott's capable hands. You may contact me at the City Hall any time before you leave town. May the flame of Eli light your path." Irwin turns and leaves the building, re-locking the door behind him.

"Well, a brief tour first?"

 

[Gwaihir]

Relsyn

"A tour, Certainly! Monsignor, please lead the way." He bows his head slightly toward the small man. The Canon leads the way toward the first exhibit, limping slightly as he does so.
As the party walks further into the dimly lit building, their footfalls echo loudly on the ancient stone floors.

"How many years have you been the Canon here Sir?" asks Relsyn. After hearing the answer, Relsyn continues to engage the priest in small talk surrounding the man's scholarly pursuits and his interests.

The Museum of the Ancient and Venerable Church is a marble building as marvelously artistic in its own way as many of the treasures stored therein. Marbles of various colors highlight various areas. Stone pillars as large as mature trees, and carven to approximate these, support the building. Gold inlaid lettering in many walls points the way toward various wings and exhibits. Many objects of art are present, as the tour group passes through "the gauntlet," a hall of religious statues depicting many Saints, Blesseds and others of significance. The small priest proves to be consumately knowlegeable about the Art of many eras.

"I have been considering pursuing my Doctor of Letters degree, on which topic did you write your dissertation?." He pauses to wait for an answer, "I have been considering writing mine on the character and generalship of St. Salix," replies Relsyn when asked.

The tour continues, with Msr. Wescott pointing out several historical highlights, including the Iron Spear, The Codex ur Devda, The Journals of St. Dismas (Forged), and St. Xantas' Star Gem.

"As pleasant as this private tour has been, as you well know, we are here with a more pressing agenda: What more can you tell or show us about the Elioim Staff or Eli's tear, Monsignor Wescott?" asks Relsyn as the brief tour ends.
