The Banewarrens

[Keia]

Concerned that others could hear their conversation, Titus took a casual look around the inn, especially at the nearby tables.

Assuming he didn't find anything, Titus will sit down with Jevvica and started answering here questions, "Well, ma'am, there are some definite issues regarding the Banewarrens. It appears that there is a group attempting to enter the Banewarrens, or at least I think there is, what with the same bone rings and all."

Titus will go on to explain the situation, providing the update she requested when engaging our services. He will also mention that divinations have revealed a ket that can be used to open the Banewarrens and ask if she could help locate the key.

The halfling smiles at Fallon. "Teilbarith Starlook at your service. You two must be new in town. Poking around the noble estates is not a very safe way to find work. I'd send you to the Guildsman District, but it so happens that we are looking for a few servants."

Teilbarith asks some questions about Folo and Bono's background, which Fallon answers with reasonable imagination.

"Come to the house tomorrow afternoon, and bring your identification papers," the halfling concludes. "I'll be sure to put in a good word with the lady of the house." With that he holds out his right hand, palm up.

-----------------------------------

Jevicca listens intently to Titus' tale. "This key may pose a threat, should it fall into the wrong hands. I will consult with my colleagues about its location, but I would encourage you to pursue other avenues in the meantime."

"I would also be happy to look into the identity of this organization. Would you give me one of these rings you have recovered?"

"You and your companions have done well. Please convey my thanks to them along with the payment." The female wizard hands Titus 420pp. "If you are willing, I would be pleased to extend our working relationship in this matter. The Inverted Pyramid is determined to see the Banewarrens sealed and those attempting to get in stopped. If powerful forces are at work, I need to know their chances of success. I am prepared to offer each of you a magic item of your choice worth up to 2000gp, deliverable within two weeks, if you continue to work as my agents."

"Um.. well.. back to the tavern," says Krug. "That was too much work. Some ale would help me think." He goes back to meet the rest and pass the info.

"Let me be so bold as to suggest a plan. Let us break in to the estate and take the key. That way no innocents will be harmed, and the house will be unable to use the key for evil. I have studied their guard patterns and their defenses, and I believe I can get a handful of people in without raising an alarm."

"What do you think, Malikar? You are probably a better judge of character than I. Sorry if we have concerns regarding your words, but caution is a good thing when dealing with matters revolving that House."

If Malikar does not object, Morden speaks up, "Excellent. Our comrades are sure to be delighted at such a promising development. Sure we proceed this night, or is another better? After all, you know them better than us."

"Come to the house tomorrow afternoon, and bring your identification papers," the halfling concludes. "I'll be sure to put in a good word with the lady of the house." With that he holds out his right hand, palm up.

Fallon Knows this may be Thieves "talk" of some sort but trusts that this will work better for him if he does not try to flub the signal.
Oh.. Go ahead and signal your a thief. sends Bilbo, It's not like he would know the difference. Fallon ignores the Psi Crystal and shows his right hand palm up and then shakes Teilbarith hand. "Thanks Teilbarith, We are hard workers and Bono here's mute. He don't make no noise at all. so the lady will be pleased that he can't tell no secrets or nothing"

 

[GruTheWanderer]

After shaking Fallon's hand, Teilbarith looks at his empty palm with some displeasure. Then his expression quickly returns to a smile.

"Good day to you then, brothers Folo and Bono. I have some business in the Guilders District." The halfling flips a coin to the bartender and makes his way to the door.

----------------------------------------------

When Krug returns to the inn, Vesto Kama is waiting with a message from Ishara Jare.

The message reads:

"I confirmed another piece of information which may be of import to you. It is said that Danar Rotansin, builder of the Banewarrens, could open the sealed doors of his citadel by touch. It is also recorded that the Dread Lord's hand was taken from Jabel Shammar after the great battle in which he was destroyed. Several years ago the Vladaam's purchased a number of relics including a mummified hand."

------------------------------------------------

Nicalon responds to Morden, "Tonight or the next, it should make little difference. We will need to be in the Noble's Quarter before curfew. We can climb the wall of the estate around midnight, after they have run the dogs for the first time. The secret door to the vaults is in the library on the first floor. We can enter the library through a window on the back side of the house."

"Anyone entering the estate will need to be able to scale a 12 foot wall and keep a low profile, or use magic to compensate. Is one of your companions is familiar with locks and traps?" Nicalon asks.

 

[perivas]

"Excellent. One of our companions does possess such skills. May I suggest that we adjourn and meet here again tomorrow at dusk, when all may be better prepared?" Morden enthusiastically rubs his hands together in anticipation.

 

[Krug]

"Hmm.. interesting," thinks Krug. He can't wait to tell the others. Infiltrating the Vladam's looked inevitable.

"Well, I would have to take this proposal to the others and get their opinion. If we continue to be your agents, what is it that you want accomplished?" Titus asked.
