She finishes with a cheeky grin."If I remember correctly; it was once a military outpost in the war against the Shadow; Shaowseal Keep it was called, but it is now in ruins. Bren, did the keep not have something to do with that story you uncovered involving your god's knights and some ancient evil dragon?"Cheysuli nods along with Miranna's account, adding to it when she finished; "There was the inn's landlady; who is also the towns bard, Sakura. She was quite helpful and know a fair bit about the history of the town. She sang a woeful song that may have ties to our mission. Ellian was an old dragonborn that Mr. Bricks got the promise of some old stories from if we were to visit him again. And a shopkeeper new to town called Bairdon, he came from Daunton I believe though we never spoke to him."[sblock=Skill Challenge & Sakura's Song]Discovering the cult was an open skill challenge that i believe we had made 2 successes in.In shadowed keep of tumbled stone, A peril lurks, for years unknown,The Kinslayer's spirit guards it yet,'Gainst a newfound vile threat.The Kinslayer once was proud and strong,Until the Night Lord came along.The thing of evil sent dark dreams,Nightmares wrought of tortured screams,The vowed defender's mind did bend,And with his blade he did rend.Awakened to the awful truth,Shattered bones of men and youth,His wife and children, pride and joy,Mistaken for demons, forced to destroy.The Kinslayer fled to meet death alone,For wicked deeds he must now atone,And so the fallen Knight must wait,For heroes to arrive and reverse his fate.But twisted whispers echo through the halls,And ghostly blood runs 'long the walls,None can face those cursed remains,Fear like water in their veins.The Night Lords Brood from a cursed line,Now threatens to awake the unholy shrine,Dark power craves as men do thirst,Confining spells to be reversed.Storm clouds gather with the demon's approach,And the living dead will soon encroach,The forces of good will never survive,For the Kings of Night will soon arrive[/sblock]"I agree, that is a good idea, and could get us some potentially decent information that we missed before. If you two could act a bit shady (not so shady that you get arrested mind you!), you may be able to get on the inside of this cult.""I doubt very much that the Lord is involved, he is a very honourable man; deeply respectful of tradition and duty, the Scholar however... He seemed a little more withdrawn from society. Hmmm... we have two good ideas being bartered here; the fake note to draw out the spy and the potential of infiltrating the cult. If the latter is to work, then you two," Cheysuli indicates Firete and Yishim, "should not be associated with us, so I think you should try and arrange separate lodgings in the town and ignore us in public. Meanwhile we can approach Lord Hashtesh about this fake note and see what he has to add to the deception."[sblock=OOC]I have +11 in Bluff.[/sblock]</blockquote>
