[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 8627960, member: 7015827"] Late the next morning on Tarsakh 4, the dwarven priest Njord presented himself at the Gatereach guest house, knocking loudly at the door. Inside, Dermot yelled and shook Rosten awake, although quickly stepped back when the hungover hin rose up with a jerk of his body. The ranger then went over to let Njord in, the dwarf being followed by Goruna, the Gatereach’s serving woman, with a large tray of breakfast food and a pitcher of water. She quipped that they had the best sausage and eggs on the market, giving Dermot a gap-toothed smile on the way out. Dermot and Rosten filled in Njord on the previous night’s encounter with the vampire Sorenth Gorender, as they attacked the food in front of them. A grumbling Darrow soon joined them from upstairs. As they were finishing their meal, Aerikoth appeared and greeted them, the wizard pleased to see them all there before the noon meeting at Thessar’s. Njord gave a short prayer to his patron god, the Finder-of-Trails, as the others watched respectfully, then hid his holy symbol under his clothes again, grinning. Darrow said a few words of his own to Haela, to help him smite what needed smiting, before they headed out the door. ([I]The gods help those who help themselves, and the larger the hammer the better. --R[/I]) On the walk over to the Shore district, they kept their eyes peeled for any trouble. Rosten stopped a moment to swig from his hip flask as Dermot looked around suspiciously, but they saw nothing untoward. After reaching Thessar’s house, Njord knocked on the door and a face appeared at the window; a few seconds later, they heard the door being unlocked. The four adventurers stepped through and were greeted by the old warrior, who motioned them toward a semi-circle of chairs set around a slightly raised platform, with a single chair set underneath a wall-mounted shield. Dermot asked if they were the first to arrive, but then answered his own question, as the Ascetic One rose from a chair to greet them. Rosten declined an offer of water from Thessar as the group found seats. A solid knock sounded three times on the door and Thessar, after peering out the window, went over to admit the presence of Lady Sunrise Tylanna of the Seventh Rose. Thessar bowed as she entered, the high priestess of Lathander apologizing for her tardiness as she removed her hood and cloak. She explained that she had taken care not to be followed, as Thessar had asked. Greetings were exchanged and Njord introduced himself as a volamtar, servant of Marthammor Duin. Thessar indicated that another would be joining them a bit later, but they could start the proceedings in the meantime. Impishly, Njord contradicted him, saying that there would be two coming, which may be a bit of a surprise. Thessar said that he didn’t like surprises in his own home and asked if the dwarf cared to explain. However, when Njord informed him that a member of the Masks was coming, apparently knowing about the meeting, that did not surprise the old warrior, who simply said that Njord was getting ahead of himself.
