Under strange stars

Amira

Ormazd speaks quietly from just behind Al-Khazad, having navigated his way over to the captain.

"Whether we wish it or no, we have made an enemy of that oddly masked wizard. Ormazd thinks that the only way the masked one could have become so powerful is by trafficking with dark forces from beyond this mortal realm. Thus, whatever we do, Ormazd believes we should exercise the uttermost caution; the masked one may have more resources at his fingertips than mere beastmen."

"Of course that dastardly man has dealings with dark beings - he had a quasit, a devil, as a lackey. I don't care if he's a vizier, but nobody ruins my dress and gets away with it," Amira adds with hands or her hips looking still extremely irritated.

"Looks like that silly book was worth more than we could guess. Why else would the masked mage be after us?"

"And nobody turns me into a bunny without paying for it!" exclaims, still remembering the few imbarrasing moments she was jumping around as a cute little bunny on a boat ful of people fully engaged in a battle.

((So, what´s your next step?))

Amira

"I don't like the idea of running away. Maybe we could hide in the city and try to find out, what happened to Kyot and the book?"

"I'm with Amira. If this book was important enough to do that," she motions towards the battleplace. "well, if it was, I am sure we would like to get it back. Atleast, I would." she finnishes.
"And another thing, I will not be humiliated with that, and not pay back what is due him!"

 

[Synchronicity]

"Ormazd concurs. The book is obviously central to this mystery; and the answers to its secrets may be found within this city."

"Folks, I understand your point of view. But let me point out to very important things. One, we weren't able to land a hand on him, so to speak. Two if he is the new vizier, then the imperial guard is at his beck and call." Al-Khazad says by way of caution. ~Who would ever think I would be the one advising caution..~

 

[Uriel]

'I shall see what I can find of this Book once we land again. I have contacts and favors owed to faces not my own.'

OoC:Jagra will attempt to Gather Information in the city, using hisHat of Disguise to appear as various other folks, never as himself.

 

[Someone]

Jagra sinks into the taverns and markets with open ears, and he hears several interesting things [OOC: despite not having the skill]:

"...I don´t know why the last vizier dissapeared. Some say the Caliph is acting in a strange way..."

Later:

"Yes, I know someone that have seen him [the new vizier]." whispers someone at a spice shop. "He says that he has an air... similar to the Caliph and his young son. Almost as if they were family. That should mean he´s a bastard son or something."

"What if he´s the Caliph´s uncle?"

"The one that went to exile? No, he must be in his eighties by now."

And even later, in a tavern, Jagra hears a sailor saying:

"The caliph´s something odd with old families of merchants and sailors... the last thing they did? The day before yesterday they arrested Minah, Abu´s father."

That name rings a bell. But what...?

[What´s the rest of you doing while Jagra is Gathering information?]

 

[Zerth]

When Jagra returns and supposedly tells us, what he found out, Amira utilizes her knowledge about the high society hoping she can add something to the story.

(OOC: Knowledge (noblity & royalty) +2.)
