Message: <blockquote data-quote="darkbard" data-source="post: 9023419" data-attributes="member: 1282">The renowned scrivener, distinct in the wide-sleeved embroidered red silk robe and matching futou hat of his homeland, far across the Sea of Silt and Sand to the south, grasps desperately at the scrolls of parchment and writing implements as his drawing up short at the near-collision sends them tumbling into the air.In deep pitched-slow motion, Arunny's voice forms the words "Qaaaaamraaaaa, aaaaiiiid!" Then the scene speeds up, and the nimble acolyte dextrously snatches several scrolls as if a juggler ending her routine by plucking tumbling pins from the air, and then extends a soft-booted foot to intercept and balance an ink bottle before it shatters against the cut pumice flagstones of the antechamber."Ah, Master Scrivener," IBHHEA begins, "how fate smiles upon the needy! For you are just the person we seek, and in need of your aid we are, indeed! I can see you are in great haste upon some commercial endeavor, but I believe we have a commission that will interest you, superceding such mundane affairs. To cut to the chase: I carry an ancient text, retrieved from the Temple of Union in far Itirilmish, a text of ancient wisdom that carries puissant wards to safeguard its secrets. Nevertheless, I believe it time for these secrets to reenter our world, a return to Old Ways that offer respite and truth to counteract the complexities and hypocrisies of these modern times. Will you accept our commission and play a key role in reversing the runaway juggernaut of our society?"[HR][/HR]Qamra makes a Secondary Skill Acrobatics check +12 vs DC 12 Easy DC = autosuccess in aid of Ibhea's Primary Skill Diplomacy check (aided by Arunny's Half-Elf Group Diplomacy +1), r(10) +7 +1 +2 = 20 vs 16 Moderate DC. Success.</blockquote>
