(Quick OOC note - I think we should wait to see if Rose Marie wants to join the adventure as well; she may be away for the weekend.)
Noticing Banion's slight reaction to the cash being talked about, Gur makes sure to recite his history of transactions:Knight Otu said:The nobles wince as they hear Gur say junk. "Please, the Dance of Soul is no 'junk.' It is a unique collection of art objects incorporating illusion magic." Godo then turns to Beamer. "Mister Glimmereye, if your optimistic appraisal of the thieves' actions does not happen to come to reality, I assure you that you are authorized to hasten their path southwards... that is, kill them if necessary."
The task we would hire you for would be to find the thieves, bring them to their rightful justice, and return the pieces they stole to us. We are willing to pay 6000 gold pieces, divided among you, for this."
After receiving an answer from the previous question, "What else is known of these burglars? How did the artwork disappear? What are the perpetrator's names and descriptions?"
"Their names are Turlach and Deleth, and as to be expected from people of such low social rank, they have no last names. As I said, both are tall and bearded. Turlach has red hair, brown eyes, and a particularly long nose, while Deleth is distinguished by his blonde hair, blue eyes and a scar across his face. How the artwork disappeared - pure and simple, they betrayed our trust they earned in the years in our employ. They worked well, they were paid well, they had a better life than they could hope for, and still, they betrayed us."SlagMortar/Beamer said:After receiving an answer from the previous question, "What else is known of these burglars? How did the artwork disappear? What are the perpetrator's names and descriptions?"
"No one is exactly certain how many there are, but many say there are nine pieces. It has been a long time since they were found, so besides the two we had, there is not much recorded. There was a collecter, from whom we got our two - he possessed one more of them until he vanished, the Dance of Souls Enamored, an exquisite facsimile of a large harp. It could not be played, yet it created the most beautiful musics, while angels, illusionary of course, flew around it. All of them are certain to somehow incorporate illusion magic. He never wanted to part with it, said he would take it with him on his move. We never found out where he went."Xaov/Azatoth said:"How many pieces of this set are there exactly?
And do any of the others have special properties like the two mentioned?"
After the barrage of questions posed by Sam, Seran takes a turn of answering, relieving Godo.Airwhale/Sam said:Recently liberated from a dragon, if I'm not mistaken. Yours are the only two whose whereabouts are known. I haven't seen any pictures of these objects, do you know anything of the appearence of the others? I also assume you had a wizard look at them as part of the appeasing process, what was his analysis? Was there any magic radiating from the art other then simple illusion spells? How complicated was the illusion? How many senses did it affect? Did you ever have the objects in close proximity to one another? Were there any synergistic effects or did their behavior change at all? From whom did you buy them from? Did anyone show an unusual interest in them or know something about them which they should not? Do you suspect others of having parts of this collection? How did you two gentlemen meet?"
(Must have missed the Nobility yesterday.)Airwhale said:I have Knowledge (nobility),Knowledge (Geography),Knowledge (local), and Knowledge (history) all at +5 (plus other Knowledge skills, but these seem the relevent ones.)
Godo motions to his servant, who pulls out a map of the surroundings of Orussus (see attachment). "We decided to meet you back at Seran a'Larats estate, in Ravensdale. My estate is farther away."Patlin/Banion said:"Where are we to return the artworks to? Will you be here, or at your estates?"
