Vathelokai 04-22-06, 08:45 AM	Vandalar was in the basement of a heavily fortified and anonymous building in the district of Arcadivius. He had teleported there. Caliandra, the guilds abjurer, had procured the place to hide things that were best left unknown. Her work was as exceptional as always, and the air of the basement was oppressive with wards and countermagic. The elven necromancer walked though an archway, a feat that no one else but Cali could do, and into a 40 ft. square chamber. Most of the rooms space was filled with a giant silver circle, engraved and guilded into the floor. The circle of protection was quite a bit larger than any Vandalar had seen recently. There were various bits of entertainment set on tables around the room. Books, instruments, that sort of thing. At the center of the circle were two confusing objects, though the necromancer understood them quickly. First was a bed. A large 4 poster bed draped with gauzy fabric. Second was a giant tank, like a fish tank, but so large that Vandalar could immerse himself. Swimming inside the tank was a very pretty humanoid. She was quite small and this gave her some room to manuver in the tank. She spun around a couple more times before noticing the elf. When she did, she froze for a moment, then slowly floated to the top. She crossed her arms on the edge of the tank and glared at the elf "Has mighty leader come to witness the pet?" Rispa had a thick accent that reminded Vandalar of infernal. He knew that she had fiendish heritage. "I have come to ask you questions." He also knew that she could charm men with a glance, and he made sure to stay outside the circle of warding. "Is that real? Perhaps you could now let me free? Was I not help of you?" It was true that Rispa was a qualified spy, and she had leaked to TAO much information that was vital in retaking the campus. The fiendish nixie had been hidden here as much to hide her from her old associates as to protect TAO in case she were caught or a double agent. "It is still not safe for that. We have taken the campus, but your old allies are still in the city. As it happens I wanted to ask you about one of them. Tell me about Shinmor." Vandalar had seen Shinmor only once, and then he only seemed to be a presumtuous tiefling. Later Aranor had admitted that he had known the tiefling long ago, but wouldn't elaborate. Shinmor had been involved with the possession of the old Magister, and with inviting the dragons to the campus. Rispa didn't answer immediately. She seemed to be analyzing the elf. "Let me say bluntly; I can tell you things, but you must accomodate me. I tell you free and you walk away leaving me stuck here more. I need space to stretch out, room to move in. I need people to talk, entertainments. Of course it is your power to give or deny." Rispa origionally appeared in This quest
SoulLord 04-22-06, 03:47 PM	Elves and fey were closely related perhaps even more than elves and humans so vandelar admired the beauty of Rispa. The less people know about your presence with us the safer we'll be miss Rispa. As for entertainment room and accomodation that will depend on teh quality of information you'll be able to provide me with, this time. Vandelar smiled back from the safety of the wards in place. Now about Shinmor? Vandelar didn't want to speak his mind of the individial, as he feared Rispa may elaborate a story appealing to what Vandelar wished to hear.
Vathelokai 04-23-06, 06:53 AM	"Shinmor," she says. Rispa kicks her legs a bit, propelling her up onto the edge of the tank. She does a forward roll over the edge, landing on her feet. "I spent none of time with him. I was bottom of the pyramid. I can tell rumors if you like them?" Vandalar tries not to appreciate the view too much as the nixie walks over to the bed and wraps herself in a blanket. "Go ahead." "He was at first the servant of the one who pretended at Magister. He got greedy, because of pretender ignored Shinmor's goals. So greedy it made him stupid, willingly to make fool aliances." She walked slowly over to the edge of the circle. A blue glow appeared as she approached and kept her walled in. "He had a home on an island south of here. If he didn't return at that place he maybe off in the lower planes. Hard to know." Vandalar considers it for a moment. "Tell me about the island." Even if Shinmor was not there, it could provide plenty of clues. "Oh, I never was there. He seemed happy after there being. But, my things on that table. See, a blue bag and inside a many thing. The dry flower that is purple. That is from the island; a present to me." Vandalar finds exacly what is described and holds it up in the diffused magical light. If she was telling the truth, then the flower would make telportation to the island quite easy. Though she would obviously not tell everything that she knew, she had no reason to lie, and Vandalar felt that she was being truthfull. Rolled a sense motive for Vandalar; his total result was lower than Rispa's bluff modifier. Can jump to the encounter or continue this scene at your discretion.
SoulLord 04-23-06, 09:24 AM	I appreciate your help, I shall travel to this place to seek answers. Rest assured that I will return. Vandelar paused at the last statement before leaving as to emphasise his point after that he bowed slightly and walked away with the flower at hand. move on to the island
Vathelokai 04-23-06, 08:00 PM	Vandalar walks out of the room with no further comment and returns to the Order's headquarters in the Red Lion to prepare for the journey. He arranges for Cali to teleport him to the island, so that he can be fully prepared when he arrives. _ _ _ * * * _ _ _ The necromancer silently appears on a muddy ridge. The entire area is a marsh. He can smell the salty sea breeze moving throught the trees. He scouts around for a minute trying to stay on the highground. After nearly tripping in the muck a number of times, he spots a building in the distance between the vines and spindly tree limbs. As he approaches the house and is surprised at how nice the place looks. It is two stories with pillars around the front doors holding up the railed balcony. There are colorful flowerbeds lining the front walk, and he reconinzes the purple flower that Rispa gave him. Next to the front door is a human looking woman, dressed in fine clothing. She is standing at attention. From the looks of her, Vandalar guesses that she could be the servant of a noble.
SoulLord 04-24-06, 09:20 AM	Vandelar examines the human woman from affar her state of readiness perhaps indicated something more than a servant girl in his mind. It would be so easy to remove her from this distance with the element of surprise, but for all he knew it could just be just an innocent bystander. Still Vandelar was a sneaky wizard when he intended to be. he grabbed a scroll of invisibility and one of detect magic which he proceeded to cast and then he moved as silently as he could trying to get past the woman unnoticed while looking for signs of magical auras. invisibility, detect magic,
Vathelokai 04-24-06, 04:38 PM	From a good distance, Vandalar casts his spells so that he cannot be heard then slowly creeps up to the front garden. With amazing grace, he makes no sound and reaches a good range to examine the girl. He finds that she is under the effect of a transmutaton, a fairly strong one. She also has a magic ring, and some other items hidden in her clothes of minor value. Vandalar would guess either alterself or polymorph on the girl. The ring has faint magic aura of abjuration, and the other items are most likely potions (minor auras of abjuration around the belt area).
SoulLord 04-24-06, 04:59 PM	Vandelar was not overly surprised at finding so much magic Could this be Shinmor in disguise he though; Ther was a sure way to find out but first Vandelar tried to discern what the different magical auras were about focusing on the detect magic spell already running so that their secrets would be revealed to him. <after learning what are the active spells he uses his rod of silence to create the image of a teleporting vandelar from a scroll of minor image appearing not far away looking at the girl depending on what happens next vandelar will attack or continue to sneak his way into the building>
Vathelokai 04-25-06, 09:21 AM	Vandalar draws his wand of magic silencing and creates the image of himself teleporting into the courtyard a hundred feet from the 'serving girl.' She jumps a bit at the sudden appearence, but then begins to walk toward the illusion. "Ho there guest. How are you this fine day." She gets about halfway to the illusion and stops. She seems to be genuinely interested in greeting the mage, and waits for him there. Seems we are getting behind. Would you like to rush things, or take our time. If I understand correctly, frozen quests are not penelized for being late. If they are, I can pay your credits. Or I can fast forward everything to the 'encounter'.
SoulLord 04-25-06, 10:35 AM	<well I would like Vandelar to go on another Mini-quest after this one but since I don't have a plan nor a questlord ready I think we can extend this one> The girl seemed genuinely friendly and interested in The suddenly appearing Vandelar, thinking quickly he made the silent image look around a little and then simulate the casting of a teleport spell while holding a rod of silnce in his hand. After this he followed the girl as silently as he could trying to stay close in case she said something of relevance, she intrigued him who or what could she be and who did she report to?. He hoped she would lead him to Shinmor to report the strange appearance and dissapearance of the Wizard in Red.
Vathelokai 04-26-06, 07:21 AM	Got caught by the board mantinance monster... The lady seems a bit startled by the illusion. She looks around the courtyard, sees nothing, then heads back toward the house. She walks very slowly up the steps and through the front doors. Vandalar inches along behind her making no sound at all. The takes a couple steps into the main hall, and as Vandalar is crossing the threshold, she turns around and looks at him (or maybe through him). "How insufferably rude that you would presume to enter upon my masters house without properly presenting yourself!" Vandalar is a bit shocked. She dosn't seem overly hostile, but is obviously deeply offended. The lobby is extravagant. There is a vaulted ceiling with chandaleer, stairs leading to the upper level balcony, fine rugs and tapestries. There is one door on each wall, and through them Vandalar can see similarly decorated rooms. The entire place seems designed as a show of opulence; quite the contrast to the decaying swamp a couple hundred feet from the door.
SoulLord 04-26-06, 11:03 AM	Vandelar was shocked to say the least when the girl addressed him. was this a bluff? he thought he had been silent, vandelar wanted to show himself and adress the girl in a friendly manner, but doing so would be a mistake for all he knew this could be Shinmor in Disguise trying to lure him out. besides he didn't detect any divination magic on her nor had he seen her cast. Vandelar continued to be silent waiting to see if she was bluffing but ready to act in self defense if the need arose.
Vathelokai 04-27-06, 05:16 AM	She looks right and left slightly, like she is unsure of his exact location. Then she smiles a bit, "You think I'm bluffing?" Vandalar's heart skips a beat. Then he suddenly feels it, the faint presence in the back of his mind, and knows how she can detect him. "Yes wizard, I can hear your thoughts now. I am not the Lord Shinmor, though he has been a guest of mine. Let us both end this game." The form of the woman shifts. She grows a foot in height, she sprouts orange fur and her head reshapes into a lions head. Vandalar sees the fingers on her hands flip backwards so that the palms are on the outside. Knowing now what it is, Vandalar tries to remember what he can of Rakshasa's. They are powerful shapeshifters and wizards. They have a remarkable resistance to magic. They are noble outsiders, very prideful, focused on manners and ceremony.
SoulLord 04-27-06, 10:16 AM	Vandelar nearly jumped when he saw the Rakhshasa. He knew they had a reputation for cunning and power. still he had not come to fight it and perhaps she could be reasoned with. he dispeled the Invisibility as he approached the entrance while still keeping a good distance from the being the last thought he allowed himself to be projected was that of readiness to danger and a deep desire to parlay. After this he erected his mental defenses to not allow free reign into his mind. Greetings Master of the House, I am Called Vandelar the red and indeed I am looking for the one called Shinmor. May I join you inside?
Vathelokai 04-28-06, 07:26 AM	Vandalar clears his mind and drops the invisibility "Welcome. Come into my parlor, Vandalar. I will meet you shortly." The rakshasa has a snide, slightly condecending tone to her voice. She walks through the door at the back of the room. As she leaves, an unseen servant, holding up silk clothes as though it were wearing them, comes out from the right door and waves the necromancer that direction. He follows the servant, and feels the presence of the rakshasa's mind disappear as she gets out of range. The parlor is as elabroately decorated as the rest of the house. One wall of the room is made of windows and glass doors that lead out onto a side balcony. The room has a red and gold theme, and Vandalar sets down in one of the 2 red and gold plush chairs on either side of the central table. The unseen servant promptly brings out a gold tea service, and pours the elf and the host a drink. The rakshasa enters from a door opposite the one Vandalar entered. Now that he thinks about it, it seems there are at least 3 doors in every room he has seen. The tigress has changed in to a light full length, sleeveless dress that matches the color scheme of the room. "Greetings again, my guest." Her tone of voice has become far more cordial. She sits down and sips at the prepared tea. "So you are here searching for the one called Lord Shinmor? He was here only yesterday as my guest. I am affraid you missed him, and that he was leaving on a bit of a journey. I couldn't tell you when he might be back. But appart from that business, how have you come to my manor? In fact, I know so little of you. Where is it that you come from?" Vandalar feels the presure of the outsider trying to wedge into his mind, but he successfully repels the intrusion.
SoulLord 04-28-06, 10:40 AM	Vandelar was no stranger to diplomacy, this powerful creature wanted respect and he would provide it as he inquired more about shinmor. he thanked his elven heritage that made it harder to mess with his mind. Please if you wish for answers, I'm more than capable of providing them. that is if you would have the courtesy to do the same for me. I have come from the city of Gladiators Gladius, and more specifically I come on behalf of the Arcane Order. We are very interested in Shinmor and his current whereabouts.
Vathelokai 04-29-06, 03:36 AM	"I am Ramaja. My ancestors come from the beastlands, though we are now spread across Othala. This is my estate, modest as it may be. So you come from the city of the Nimbus? I assume this can only be on official business, as you represent your guild to me. Shinmor spoke much of your Order. Is it true that the Order had fallen, for the most part? Shinmor confided in me that after your leaders dragons attacked him, he could no longer defend the Order from attack." Seems there is 3 weeks before this quest has to be finished. Want to drag out the RP a bit, or cut to the chase?
SoulLord 05-01-06, 07:02 PM	Vandelar smiled as tRamaja spoke. The order was not finished, it might not be as strong as before but that was something that would be fixed. Our leader did what he thought was best at the time to protect the order, Sure the allies he chose to help him were not very appreciated by the rest of the city, But it got the job done in the end, the Order prevails. Now about Shinmor I wonder, how did this association came to be, What service could Shinmor offer you? and you still have not shared his current whereabouts........ that is if you know them. Vandelar tried to use the pride of the rakshasa to reveal Shimor's location, Elven revenge was legendary and the things the necromancer had planned for Shinmor could fill a book. extend the rp is fine by me
Vathelokai 05-03-06, 07:38 AM	"Oh ho! Do you miss the tiefling so much? I can tell you honestly, I do not know where he is now, but I can tell you what he is doing. He has gone looking for someone, a human necromancer. Of course he tells me little of his work, he comes here to relax and to be with me." Vandalar nearly has to bite his tounge at the thought, but he keeps a straight face. Shinmor and this Rakshasa? Nevermind that; Shinmor hunting down a necromancer? Could it be another missing wizard in the elf's life; Quinton?
SoulLord 05-03-06, 12:24 PM	Vandelar pondered for a second. I think I better catch up with Shinmor, Thank you very much for your assistance, is there a message you would like for me to deliver to Shinmor when I meet him? Vandelar expected Quinton to be protected from scrying which is why he had not tried to scry for him, unless ..... yes that had to be it! the familiar of the magister was probably not as protected from scrying as Quinton was. All he had to do now was scry for it and teleport there before Shinmor.
Vathelokai 05-04-06, 05:06 AM	"What is your hurry, Vandalar? Do you not enjoy my hospitality? Please, stay for longer, stay all night." The necromancer gets the impression from her rythmic tone that she is doing more than just talking. He recoginizes the enchantment at the same moment that it harmlessly passes through him; a powerful suggestion, but not strong enough to control the necromancers mind.
SoulLord 05-04-06, 01:19 PM	Vandelasr shrugged off the effect but played along not wishing to upset his host. Thank you Ramaja it's very generous off your part, I just need to pick up some things first since I did not plan on staying that long. After all you would not wish to see my unfurry self without the proper garments. After this Vandelar stood up, ready to go back to the teleporting circle waiting for him.
Vathelokai 05-05-06, 05:08 AM	Ramaja giggles politely. As Vandalar stands up, he feels her try to penetrate his mind again, but this time he cannot keep her out. As he steps through the doorway, the Rakshasa stands up. "I cannot let you leave Vandalar. At least not for a few days. You have much wrath for Lord Shinmor, and this is a most inopportune time to release it. You see, a gith army has chosen to attack Gladius, and since Mr. Quentin was waiting for the army to leave before making his move, this will be one of the few opportunities we have to encounter him." Vandalar continues into the front room while the Rakshasa follows and talks. As the necromancer gets almost to the door he can hear Ramaja growl ever so slightly. Run for it? Fight?
SoulLord 05-05-06, 10:21 AM	Vandelar saw the intent on Majas eyes it would be very hard to outrun her without magic. when she made her small growl Vandelar gave a dissapointed look at her as he tried to break free from her mind scan her comments shared with the mind link seemed to be genuine enough. oh please don't tell me you would resort to violence to keep me here, you have a cunning mind and you have sparked my interest about this giith army you mention. It's a tale I would like very much to hear. Quinton and Shinmor were important to the order but a gith army could be a danger to the whole city of Gladius. Forgive me Quinton I'll try to be there as soon as I can but this seems more important. Vandelar thought as he waited for the Rakshasa to make her move. ready action to cast wall of stone sealing her in her own home if shhe attacks vandekar
Vathelokai 05-06-06, 08:06 AM	As Ramja and Vandalar stare each other down in the parlor, "You are very loyal to your guild elf." She smiles in a gracious sort of way. "If you will not head for Shinmor, then you may leave at you leisure. I only request that you return, to relax between your enevours." Vandalar gets no hint that this might be a lie; she seems completely honest. Basicly, if Vandalar is serious about going to the city then the Rakshasa will let him go, since her primary motivation is to stop him from finding Shinmor.
SoulLord 05-06-06, 10:10 AM	It is agreed then I will head back to the city before I start Looking for Shinmor but before I depart, tell me all you know about this gith army. Vandelar was caught, as much as he wanted to find Shinmor and help Quinton the order could be in danger, a gith army what the seven hells was it doing so close to Gladius. It was in Ramaja's best interest to do so as the longer she spoke the longer she delayed Vandelar.
Vathelokai 05-07-06, 03:52 AM	"I know only a few things, but I can relate them. There are many Gith armies, just like there are many human armies. In fact that is their family structure; they have armies instead of clans or tribes.... but back to the point. This army has been under orders of the Githyanki 'Goddess' to take control of the city. They have tried before, in ancient times they destroyed Gladius, and more recently they attacked and failed. This group approaching the city is only an advanced force. They have allied themselves with a lot who wants the city destroyed, and who leaked them information. They have set up camps in the riftlands north of the city; they keep the slaves that service the soldiers there. They have twisted a gate so that it stays open for them. Ah, you think I'm detaining you too long. There is little else I can tell you; Shinmor and I never got close to the leaders and the decisions of the army. They were simply an obstacle we encountered. But be on your way. If I see Shinmor before you I'll let him know you have a dagger with his name on it."
SoulLord 05-07-06, 01:18 PM	Vandelar smiled at the comment. Thank you for your assistance lady Ramja I enjoyed my stay here, until we meet again. Vandelar left for the teleporting circle waiting for him, and wondered what would the Magister had done, well the Magister was not here to give advise so it would be up to him to come up with something. War was coming to the city of gladius and the Order would not be caught unprepared.
Vathelokai 05-08-06, 04:35 PM	Well, that didn't go according to my plan. Avoiding combat with RP... what kind of game do you think this is :D . Did you hear back from Uther about hopping into one of the defend the city quests?
SoulLord 05-08-06, 04:58 PM	Vandelar now in the safety of the Order searched for one of his allies to send a message to Quinton using a sending spell. Shinmor is after you mi friend, be careful there was no gurantee that the message would arrive which concerned him but there were more important matters at hand. he he he yep who would have thought of talking with an enemy :) , haven't heard back from Uther yet I'll pm him to see if he still plans to go along with the gith stuff.
Vathelokai 05-09-06, 05:15 AM	A minute after the spell is cast, a response comes back. The ally relays, "Bad timing for me... Thanks for the warning... In an emergency find the magisters kid." Vandalar remembers how the magister would occasionally pass his finely crafted homunculous off as his own kid. It was good that he got to Quinton before Shinmor. Vandalar scouts the Red Lion and gets updated. The gith havn't attacked the city yet, but are amassing northward. For some reason the three guilds that stepped up to deal with the assault were the East Habari, the Psi Consortium, and the Order. Tan had left with a group of fighters to free slaves that the gith were using to build their fortifications. Auburn had hired Sdentch as a bodyguard and left with Va'ria, leaving a message that they were looking for the native enemies that were helping the gith. If you don't hear back, then I can run a quick combat in this thread.
SoulLord 05-09-06, 11:08 AM	well I would prefer a new thread for that :) so we can wrap up this one and add the rewards to the guild thread.
Vathelokai 05-09-06, 03:36 PM	Good point... I was delaying on that, since I have to repost the thread after the reset anyway. I'll get that posted tonight.
SoulLord 05-10-06, 09:01 AM	Just received a reply from Uther, Vandelar is in.
