The Secret Scion

[D20Dazza]

Bail Human barbarian

Bail eats sparingly, acknowledging that he did have a very good sleep and feels quite refreshed.

"I have another book here" says Bail fishing into his backpack and producing a small worn tome "I ummm took it from my previous captors but, not being able to read, I haven't got a clue what it says or if it is important. Would someone look at it for me and let me know if it is important?" he places the book gingerley on the table before him "I have no business in Sharn other than staying alive" he continues "and would be interested in helping out our host"

"I can try to read it--if you don't feel uncomfortable having me read your book, we can read it together..." Rayni approaches Bail and leans over to look at the tome, quite accidentally presenting him with a show of exposed cleavage, "I have a bit of a knack for random magic items, though it doesn't always work."

Mel agrees "I think we should help our host. Dargun has been nice and forthcoming so far, and I think being employed will help us keep a low profile. We have a place to stay, and no one has any reason to connect us to Dargun yet."

"Rayni, I can help with the book as well if you'd like." Mel offers. "I was generaly a good student in reading strange scripts and languages. I'd like to look over the spellbook as well sometime. Always been a bit curious about those things."

Mel ponders getting Rayni alone to talk at some point. She feels she can trust Rayni more than anyone else, and she's the one most likely to expose her secret, even if unintentional.

"I'd love to have your help Melphina," Rayni smiles brilliantly, "I'm sure you have a lot of great insights to offer--I know the elders of Aerenal always said that the Valenar were impetuous and foolish young upstarts, but that's what they said about me too, so I just won't listen to them about that."

Mel giggles "And I was always told that the Aerenal elves were snobish and stuck up, and too afraid of death to ever live life. Seems like neither side realy knows much about the other."

"Or I'm just 'Aberrant'..." Rayni adds quietly, with special significance definitely given to the word Aberrant.

Mel forces a laugh. "Don't believe that for a moment."

'Does she know?' Mel thinks.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"What's wrong Mel?" Rayni asks worriedly, "I'm sorry, did I touch a nerve?"

 

[Bront]

"I just don't like that word. Just reminds me of some stories my father used to tell me." Mel shudders.

Kazan Oleander(Arimart) - Half-Elf Spellthief

Kazan is not much interested in what book the youngster might have, figuring it can hardly be of value, but he does want to convince Bail that he should trust him, so he offers his assistance as well. "I have quite the knack for languages. And if you'd like, I would be happy to help teach you how to read. It's a skill no one should be without, especially in a city like Sharn."

As he moves over to have a perfunctory look at the book, he adds, "Well, that's five of us. Harolk, how about you? A man so well-trained in swordplay can always come in handy. And it seems that House Kundarak will insure that we are well paid. Assuming, of course, they don't get us killed."
