"It appears that Ishare Jare is the best lead that we have so far. Let us pursue it, barring any objections from the others." Morden looks about for objections.
 

Fast forward mode, engage!

Ishara Jare lives in a fairly simple dwelling, filled with books and scrolls from floor to ceiling. She is middle-aged and pleasant, but quiet. She has a gentle, soft-spoken manner and seems exceedingly intelligent and well-informed. Her assistant, a short, fat man named Vesto Kama, fetches books or papers when she needs to reference something. Otherwise, he serves beverages and edibles while you consult with the loremaster.

Ishara listens to your questions, occasionally writing notes to herself. Eventually she asks you for two days to do some research. She has some ideas but wants to confirm her suspicions with facts. She will need 120 gp to cover her expenses and time.
 

Fallon looks at her and says "Please, accept these 220 gold pieces for your help and for the honor of seeing you again." Fallon kisses her hand winks at her and after saying goodbye to Vesto he leaves with the others. He turns to Malikar and says "Knowledge is the most beautiful thing on the plains, And a Knowledgable woman even more so."

OoC:Sory for the delay, my HD blew up Sat.

IC: Verakka turns to Dyrnas,as king the Diviner if he has any further Knowledge of this Key.

The Elf turns to the Lady and offers his aid 'Madam, if I may be of service, I am a Diviner myself, and I would be glad and honored to help in any manner possible as to your research.'

Morden almost chokes to death on the cookie which he had in the brief instant before popped into his mouth. If not for the quick action of Malikar, he certainly would have died on the spot! He thanks Malikar for his aid and for the rest of the day does a poor job containing the enormous smirk on his face whenever he looks upon Fallon.

OOC: My internet was down for the past week and a half or so, and I regret that I was unable to post. Sorry. With luck, further misfortunes won't occur.

Malikar appreciates Morden's backing regarding the fate of the two lamias. Too often were misdeeds disguised as the choice between two evils.

Malikar did not appreciate Fallon's actions towards the loremaster. Ishara Jae was a skilled professional and did not need to be overcompensated for her work. In fact, she may have been insulted.

Oh well. Too much divisiveness had been in the group of late. Malikar well understood Fallon and Verakka's intentions to kill the dangerous lamias. Morden's insult towards the honorable lizardman was uncalled for and ultimately dangerous towards the group as a whole. Malikar didn't intend for the heroes of the Banewarrens to break apart because of two rivalling good intentions. Such actions could cause their quest to fail, to the doom of all.

Well, we accomplished the Church's mission. What's next to do? First, I say we head towards a bar. A friendly drink at the local tavern could restore tempers in the group, and be pleasant as well.
 

Ishara thanks Dyrnas for his offer of help, but says she prefers to work alone. Dyrnas himself does not know any useful information.

After a much-need drink at the local tavern and several days wait, you return to Ishara Jare. She tells you the following:

The Banewarrens was said to be sealed with the highest level of spells. If the lore of such spells still exists, it is probably locked up in the Banewarrens or in Jabel Shammar, the fortress atop the Spire.

Even the walls are enchanted and laced with exotic materials that make them virtually impregnable. Certain doors of the Banewarrens are sealed with extravagantly powerful spells that only a special key can open.

The key which allows passage through the Sealed Door you encountered is rumored to be in the possession of House Vladaam.

Ishara confirms the information Krug and Verakka gathered about House Vladaam. She also tells you that there is reason to believe that House Vladaam funds criminal activities ranging from extortion to assassination to slave smuggling. If they learn the value of the key, they may use it for their own evil purposes.

"Just great! She might as well have thrown in a legion of demons and devils to defend the thing! It seems quite an impossible task to retrieve it. And just what are we supposed to do? Knock on the front door and ask for it? I think we're really back to square one." Morden's whines and complains seem to have died down for the moment.
