[QUOTE="Tellerian Hawke, post: 8382647, member: 6790669"] Rolled Start Date: Sunday, Ready'reat 7th, CY 576. A Beholder by the name of Yaardem The Wise approaches the party, and asks for their help. He is a member of a Beholder sect that espouses coexistence, rather than conquer, as their main philosophy. He says that his community has been taken over by another, powerful Beholder, by the name of Morketh The Bloody; Morketh is a servant of Ares, and therefore, the blood enemy of all followers of Athena, much less her three children. He says that his mentor, Gariloch The Seer, was imprisoned by Morketh, who then began to pillage his research; Morketh is looking for something that he thinks that Gariloch might have acquired.

(i.e., he's Chaotic Neutral.) Thus, the party decides to trust him, and Flea invites him to his father's tower. There, in the second-story library, Flea shows his father's magical mirror (Mental Prowess) to the Beholder, and tells him to think of the entrance to his community's lair.
