Tea?" As Inwe comes in, a badger follows her through the door, nose in the air and on high alert. The huskie, neck hair straight up, is restrained only by the hand of Airith. After a few seconds, both relax into a tense peace - wary eyes on each other each time the other twitches. Inwe sits at the table, puts a few items on her plate, and begins to eat. A husky dwarf, all dressed in black, stands up in the corner of the room, and moves to the remaining chair at the table. His black beard and mustache hide all but his eyes and a scar along his throat. He nods in respect to Irwin. "Welcome friends, each of you was chosen for this task based on either a talent you have, or by someone who trusts you can help with our assignment. We are in need of a party to search for and recover an item of historical and religious significance. I am Archbishop Irwin, Archbishop of Antioch, and consul of antiquities and artifacts for the church of Eli. The Church of Eli Museum and Archive, of which I have oversight, houses the documents of the church, going back nearly to the arrival of the Remnant Ships that landed from Eire. We are also charged to find and recover items from antiquity, for the benefit and display for all the church. It has been nearly ten years or so since our last party went out to rediscover and return the three sapphires found by St Xantas in the bright desert. They were able to find one, and it is now on display in our museum. The ever greedy king, Sullivar Cuthbert, went to great lengths to hinder the quest, and even imprisoned the party for some time before we could negotiate their release. We believe his daughter and reigning sovereign, Matilda, is every bit as greedy and opposed to us. We have kept this party as secret as possible from the queen in the hopes that this quest is successful and timely for you. You all are unknown to the Queen, and none but myself will know who you are until the assignment is complete. After that, fame is yours, or absolute anonymity, as you wish. Before I go into details of the artifact we are trying to recover, and your payment, are there any questions?"</blockquote>
