The Four Lands

Tetsu

Tetsu will speak openly to Etta of his thoughts about the future, and ask her permission and her aid in putting together such a company and these plans.

"It would mean a lot of travel for me, both in putting the company together and in running it. But it would provide a stable population for this mountain pass and the valley, along with a means of income, infusion of fresh stock into the population on a regular basis, and protection all in one.

Also, what would you think about building a small monastery here at the towers? If I could find a few of my bretherin with an urge to expand our teachings outside our halls, this would make an excellent location."

Tetsu - Chat with Etta

As he confides his plans to her, Etta is most agreeable to his idea of the company. However when it comes to his mentiong a monastery within these walls he is somewhat surpised by her reaction. In a frosty tone Etta says "Monks within these walls, over my dead and dried bones. I will have no such filith individuals withing the valley. Nothing but ill could come of it"

Tetsu

"I don't understand, Lady Etta! Where does this animosity towards monks come from? Surely you realize that I would not countenance a Monastery of the Light here? Just as magi and clerics, mercenaries and visionaries come in all shapes and sizes, so do monks and monasteries vary in their scope and purpose! Please help me understand the reasons for your objections!"

"First my associates and I need to survey the goods and then we'll arrange for shipment."

Tetsu - Lunch with Etta

"Nothing but trouble has come from priest or men of religon from any sort. It is the religous ones that brought the time of sorrow to us as well as who destoryed what was once this valley. Relgion is nothing but a target for those who disagree with it or a refugee and excuse for those who are unwilling to make the tough choices and life and who would rather say "The gods did it" A plague on all religions, there will be none here in the valley until I have been shown they know the way of peace."

Angelo - The Warehouse

"Very well, it is understandable. Follow me and we will go to the ones on this level. The others may take a bit to find, but we should have them ready by the time you finish inspecting your other wares."

The young fellow then takes Angelo and Crusher into the depths of the warehouse. After about 5 minutes they arrive at a series of storage bin. Pointing to one of the bins on the left, theman says, there it is. Looking into the bins, Angelo discovers that there are 10 large wooden boxes, about 3/5/3 stacked one on top of the other.

 

[Scotley]

He raises an eyebrow to Crusher and says too softly for the warehouse man to hear, "seems like a nice amount wouldn't you say? Maybe Roderick wasn't as hopeless as we thought." Then more loudly, "lets have a look."

Tetsu

"Ah, lady, now I comprehend the misunderstanding! The monks of whom I speak do not follow a particular religion -- they are not a religious order, but a spiritual one. They seek to perfect the balance between their physical and their spiritual selves. They seek no excuses, but instead take responsibility for their balance. Additionally, they are doughty fighters, and would be a valuable addition to the defenses of the valley! Before passing judgement on them, I should like you to meet with some of them."

"HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...you may have a valid point. I just dont know. All i know of religion is that it's adherernts alwasy cause trouble in some way."

"Now what do you think we need to get people here. Is that enought money.Where shall we start?"

OCC: Remember that were on the silver standard. The gems she just handed you have a rough value of 150,000gp by normal D&D standards
