The Forgotten Forge

[DarkMaster]

As Pohl agrees the lady continues. "The relic I seek is an adamantine plate in the shape of a seven-pointed star about the size of your hand.

It has no special power by itself, but is an ancient schema"
Spoiler Zane :

(roll knowledge arcana 10+7 DC 15 Zane rembers reading somewhere that schema are a piece of a pattern used by Cannith artificers of old to craft unusal items.

"Recover this piece of history for us, and House Cannith will be extremely grateful"

He then goes back to listening to Lady Elaydren and rubbing his chin he says "Well the money is not as important to me as to finding out who was responsible for killing Provost Geldem. It seems logical that they might well have been a connections...

"I see no harm in accepting your offer. Perhaps, as Master Marcela suggests, it might bring to light who is behind Provost Geldem's death, so that the community might be safer."

"The poor Bonal was killed by a servant of the Lord of Blades. The warforged prophet wants the schema for his own dark purposes."

Thinking a bit more he adds "M'Lady Eladydren, I am not overly familiar with this city, but almost 50 levels below the sewer... is this area really old or build for some other propuse? Do you know a way to reach this level?"

Bonal discovered that the schema was abandoned in an old fundry. Probably dating from Galifar or Pre-Galifar Sharn. Bonal would have obviously been better placed to answer that question. She then points on the map she just put on the table.
"This map shows the way to reach the sewers of the Dorasharn Tower. Somewhere beyond the E-213 Valve Cluster you'll find a sealed door with the same mark as the one on Bonal's journal. Open the seal, and the tunnel beyond will take you to the long forgotten level far below, where the foundry resides.

She then looks at you to see if none of you have more questions.

OOC Zane with knowledge history +7 knows quite a bit about the commonly teached history of Sharn.

Zane nods his head "Well, will be there any climbing involved to get to this door? I am not sure from looking at the map. I'm just worried about being this deep in the earth, spelunking is not my area of expertise, but I would guess we would need rope, lanterns, climbing spikes. Anything else?" he asks looking at Tai and Pohl and then nods also to Grechen.

 

[DarkMaster]

The map leads to the old forgery entrance. From what Zane can see no spelunking will be necessary to access it. But once inside the forgery, who knows (OOC Well I do )

"Well then, if we are all in agreement, I say we grab a few extra piecies of gear and get moving." Zane says with a smile, excited to be going on his first adventure

 

[Delemental]

Tai smiles at Zane's enthusiasm. But the smile fades a bit upon hearing him talk about 'grabbing a few extra pieces of gear'. Her mind wanders to the meager few coins she has remaining, realizing she will be able to contribute very little to the supplies for the journey. I'll deal with that when the time comes, she thinks.

"Lady Elaydren, if we are successful in finding this schema for you, how should we get in touch with you? And should we be on the lookout for more agents of the Lord of Blades?"

Tai will then address the shifter. "Mistress Grechen, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Tai. Tell us a little about yourself."

 

[DEFCON 1]

'Dorasharn, eh? Can't say I've ever been over there... at least not that far down. No worries though, should be okay.'

Pohl takes a glance at the map and commits the area around the E-213 valve cluster to memory. He also asks for the journal so he can see the seal that's printed on it and does his best to get that in his head as well.

'Well then, if we are all in agreement, I say we grab a few extra pieces of gear and get moving.'

Pohl nods and stands up.

'If you need anything specific, tell me now and I'll run over to Tharashk storage and get what we need. You can reimburse me for any items that you aren't able to return later on. We won't have a lot of the more esoteric equipment items you might think of, nor any magical equipment that I'll be able to borrow... but most basic stuff I can get without problems. I'm very much favored in my House, so no one will question me if I sign out some stuff for our use. I'll just have to donate some of my reward back into the kitty after all is said and done. So what do you need?'

Pohl takes a mental note of whatever standard equipment Zane, Tai and Gretchen may request, and will run off to the Tharashk warehouses once preparations get underway to get what they need.

She turns to Tai and begins. "Well..." But she trails off as if trying to remember something. "I have been trying to learn a profession from several of the others with House Canith over the last few months. But I am told that it can take many years before one learns the ru-di-ments. Yes! That was the word Master Kyssis used. I am sure of it. Oh!" She gathers her composure once more. "Sorry! Anything else?" She smiles.

 

[Delemental]

Tai addresses Pohl. "To be honest, I really wouldn't know what would be best to bring along for something like this. Some of the items Master Marcela suggested sound wise." She will pause for a moment, thinking, then talk to Pohl again. "However, if we are going into sewers... perhaps if you happen to find yourself near a kitchen, you could ask one of the cooks for a small bundle of aromatic herbs - not more than a handful, I'd say."

(OOC Tai will name a few specific herbs that would be common in a kitchen, but produce a strong odor when crushed - she has one rank in Profession: Cook.)

Then she speaks with Grechen. "It's good to learn a trade. Anything that you've tried that you particularly enjoy, or find you have some talent in?"

The young shifter thinks for a moment. "I am good with my hands and I am an accomplished acquirer." She smiles.

Zane llstens to the young shifter and nods his head smiling a bit. Turning toward Polh he says "Unless the others have any more suggestions, I think that at least a 100ft or so of silk rope, a grappling hook, one or two lanterns, a small hammer and maybe 20 spike/petons. Anyone else have some ideas? I am not really sure if what we might need."
