The Forgotten Forge

[DEFCON 1]

'Very well. And to set the record straight. I never said it was addressed to Lady Elaydren. I merely said I was taking it to her.'

Pohl nods at this, as she is correct in what she said. He then falls in step next to her as they make their way towards the Broken Anvil.

'So tell me something about yourself, Gretchen. You were not with the three of us last night when we got to know each other a bit... so you're sort of stuck on the outside. How did a young woman such as you find a place within the Builder's Guild? I remember you said this morning that you were looking for a job... is that within the House, or outside of it? I would think that if you've already found a place within Cannith then you could be set for life... but perhaps that isn't what you are looking for, eh?'

 

[DarkMaster]

Gretchen heads towards the small house Canith guild located nearby the broken Anvil. Pohl following her footsteps. She knocks on the door and a friendly well dressed human opened her the door. The men is dressed with the color of house Canith and must be around 20-25 years old. "Good day, Gretchen" He says without too much conviction as if it was a duty. "May I help you in anyway." Pohl and Gretchen are still outside of the modest looking guild. The can see a few hundred feets on their left the Broken Anvil insigna.

It's now the middle of the afternoon and the streets are packed with people attending various business. Tai and Zane makes it fairly easily to the Broken Anvil. As they enter the Inn they notice the eyes of the halfling Matron lit with excitment. She leaves her current customer and quickly approaches the two hero. "So .... did you brought it back? should I notify Lady Elaydren right away? says the halfling all excited. Before any of you can add anything she adds in a much less excited and dissapointed tone "HoHo... the young human warrior is not with you? He didn't made it back, didn't he? She doesn't say a word about Gretchen faith.

As the two head out and Pohl begins making conversation, the young shifter listens to what he has to say with casual interest. "Let's just say that I haven't yet found my nich in the well oiled machine that is House Cannith. I seem to be having difficulties in learning even the basics of a Cannith craft. But I feel a loyalty to the house all the same. As to how I came to be with House Cannith..." She pauses here as if trying to remember something. "My patron, Riktor, has gotten me into the House. While I find the normal professions of the House daunting, I have been able to help out in other areas. Hence why I was chosen for this particular job. As to what I was doing prior to several months ago, I do not know. My memories of that time are gone."

Once they are at the guild, she addressed the man. "I have information reference our mission that I wish to pass on to Lady Elaydren. Is there any way to reach her directly at the moment or should I send a note?"

Zane smiles gently “No need to be embarrassed, I am sure he will forgive you. If you do not mind asking at your church, than that would be quite good for me. I don’t need anything fancy, a cot to sleep on and a desk to read my spellbooks. But first something to eat maybe? Almost being killed again seems not to agree with me, but it has not spoiled my appetite”

It's now the middle of the afternoon and the streets are packed with people attending various business. Tai and Zane makes it fairly easily to the Broken Anvil. As they enter the Inn they notice the eyes of the halfling Matron lit with excitment. She leaves her current customer and quickly approaches the two hero. "So .... did you brought it back? should I notify Lady Elaydren right away? says the halfling all excited. Before any of you can add anything she adds in a much less excited and dissapointed tone "HoHo... the young human warrior is not with you? He didn't made it back, didn't he? She doesn't say a word about Gretchen faith.

"There is no need to contact Lady Elaydren," Tai will say to her. "Mistress Grechen and Master D'Velderan are well, and have gone to report our progress to her directly. We are simply meeting here to plan our next excursion into the lower city."

To Zane she will say, "I think a meal would be a splendid idea, or at least something to hold us until everyone can meet back here. Perhaps that little table over there?" She points to a small table toward the back, out of view of most people in the tavern.

(OOC - Darkmaster your call on the bed for Zane at the temple; it'd be something Tai would at least try, but she'd be expecting the answer to be no.)

 

[DarkMaster]

The hafling matron eyes lid as Tai tells her that Pohl is still alive but sadden that they weren't able to bring back the artifact.

"Look like you two had a rough day. The meal is on the house, hopefully that will bring back you moral and your strength.

She invites Tai and Zane to sit at a nice place in front near the window, but when Tai tells her that she prefers something more quiet she invites them to eat inside the kitchen. They pass a swingning double door and enter the kitchen. The inside of the kitchen contrast with the dinning room. The walls and floors are clean but much older and painted in a dull shade of grey, making the place a bit depressing. The halfling points them two tables which are visibely used by the employee to eat their lunch. The table is away from the kitchen and allow for some privacy. The halfling reappears and say "If your two friends show up, I will let them know that you are here, don't worry She leaves and comes back a few minutes later with a large piece of meat with a delicious sauce on it. Fine vegetable are also served with a nice but delicious salad. The small halfling while small is carrying the two large plates with quite ease. She smiles as she gives you your plate "Enjoy, I beleive you deserve it" She then leave back to the dining room.

OOC Bolderei is a lawful good god of the community so I don't see why they would refuse a room to a friend of their priest.

'As to what I was doing prior to several months ago, I do not know. My memories of that time are gone.'

'GONE, you say? As in... you can't remember anything that happened more than two months ago? Well, that's very... unfortunate... for you. I'm sorry.'

Pohl's eyes drift away from the shifter and he looks up to the sky thinking to himself.

By the gods... who has the Lady given to us? A deceitful, shabby, conniving, and now apparently adled-minded young woman? What is her purpose here? What can she possibly lend to us in our duties down below? This job is getting worse as we go along. I certainly hope the Lady is willing to tell us what Tellarr wanted... because I am not liking this one tiny bit.

He walks with Gretchen as they finally reach the guildhouse... and then she knocks on the door. When the young man answers the door and is asked about the whereabouts of Lady Elaydren... Pohl stares intently at the gentlemen to see if he's speaking the truth.

'You by any chance also wouldn't know if the Cannith house has a connection to a halfling gentleman by the name of Tellarr, would you? He apparently knows our young Gretchen here and gave her a note to pass on to the head of the House.'

 

[Delemental]

Tai will engage in small talk with Zane as they eat. She's still a bit edgyfrom their harrowing experience at the valve cluster, and occasionally jumps whenever there's a clattering of dishes from the kitchen or other light noises.

 

[DarkMaster]

The young men looks at Pohl for a few moments wondering what his he talking about. He politely answers"I am sorry Sir, but I don't know anybody by the name of Master Tellar, but I must admit that I am not involved in all Lady Elaydren business. I you don't mind waiting for a few minutes I will go get her" He invites them to wait in a richly decorated room. A few confortable chair lying around and old copy from various newspaper lying on small tables nearby.

A few minutes later an young elf enters the room. Gretchen recognises him, he is one of Lady Elaydren very close associates. "Good day Gretchen, Tramor, told me that you had private information to give to Lady Elaydren. She is currently busy working with the professional artificer, preparing a sales pitch for a new generation of cooling system to put on the ligthning rail brakes. So I will replace her. If you want we could go in my office to discuss more privatly The elf warmly smiles at both of them.

OOC Pohl sense motive xxxx feel that he can trust the elf

"That would be fine." She follows the man into the office. Once all three are in the office and the door has been closed, Grechen pulls the piece of paper from her pack. "First off we seem to be haing some difficulties in recovering the schema. We were attacked and our wounds were such that we needing healing. The attacker that I saw was a warforged who wanted the journal. We went to a Master Tellar of House Jorasco for the healing. I was unconscious and when I was revived the healer asked about the artifact we were searching for. I guess someone in our group told him something about it. When the changeling told him that we were already hired to fetch the item, he placed this note in my hand." She hands the note to Lady Elaydren's associate. "I wanted to inform the lady of the information. We will be returning to try to retrieve the item tomorrow. We will double our efforts to be watchful of others. Apparently the Lord of Blades is indeed very interested in this item for unknown reasons."
