Message: <blockquote data-quote="Halford" data-source="post: 4582738" data-attributes="member: 64844">Joe smiles in greeting and walks over to the groups reunion. "Welcome back Rinaldo it has been too long since you last graced the Red Dragon. Nevertheless I may have reason for you to leave it shortly. I have recieved a plea for help from an old friend in need and am hopeing to persuade some of your peers here to lend their aide. If you care to hear more come with me I will have Rowena bring us a meal while I elaborate." So saying the enigmatic barman moves over to a large table and beckons one of the barmaids. As the interested parties take their places at the table Rowena takes drink orders from each and hurries off. Joe leans forward placeing his elbows upon the table, he frowns in thought and then produces a sheet of parchment which he lays upon the table (see attatchment). [sblock=Spellcraft 24]This message bares all the hallmarks of a sending, 25 word of short to the point information.[/sblock] "Ladies and gentlemen please take your seats. Only minutes ago I recieved a message from an old friend, a Cleric of Ulura by the name of Eleera - called the Moonkissed. Eleera is a powerful practitioner of divine magics, and in particular a master of the summoning and calling of creatures from other planes. I don't pretend to fully understand the message, but i believe I have the gist. I will tell you what I know and you can make up your own minds." He smoothes the parchment and begins to point out sections of the text - written in his own hand. "Auronan is a Leonal Guardinal, a Celestial creature who Eleera claimed was sent to her by Ulura herself, they are, or were, lovers - apparently, you know Ulurans. He appears to be a muscular man with a lion's head." [sblock=Sense Motive 20]Joe seems more than a little uncomfortable discussing this, and perhaps a tad jealous?[/sblock] "I have no idea what this barbed circlet is or could be, but I know Balsra Darr; its a trading outpost in, or rather adjoining, the Underdark beneath the Stonespike Mountains. It is basically a hub for ellicit trade in magics, gambling, and slavery. And its all contained in the Fortress itself. Last I heard the place was run by a Hag, but that was a long time ago, it sounds like things may have changed. I don't know what she means by beware forbiddance, is it some magic perhaps? I do know that it is typically entered through a cave system from the surface, and I will also be willing to pay for Rilithorne to transport you there." [sblock=Spellcraft 25]If Joe is speaking of teleportation this might indicate that he believes the Rilithorne has prior knowledge of the location.[/sblock] He sighs heavily and leans back looking from face to face, "I would consider it a personal favor if you would undertake this quest and free Eleera. I am willing to vouch that she will reward you generously, so much so that I am prepared to do so if she does not - you have my word." OOC: Please let me know if I am going against any previously established information and I will gladly make changes accordingly. Manzanita: Let me know what you decide, I would be delighted to have you onboard. I will save the Knowledge checks until I know, not because I am lazy, but because, um, well, I, uh, gotta go! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
