The first and smallest one can contain up to sixty objects of the same general size and shape as an arrow. The second slightly longer compartment holds up to eighteen objects of the same general size and shape as a javelin. The third and longest portion of the case contains as many as six objects of the same general size and shape as a bow (spears, staffs, or the like). Once the owner has filled it, the quiver can produce any item she wishes, as if from a regular quiver or scabbard. The efficient quiver weighs the same no matter what’s placed inside it.

Altaris13 01-12-06, 08:31 AM	OK mate, ready when you are.
Myrridin 01-12-06, 09:43 AM	Rohan sits easily in a plush chair in a nondescript study. Seated before him, behind a desk, is an elven female. Rohan's always found it difficult to determine the exact age of elves, and this one is no different. A lackey leans over and whispers something in her ear, and she smiles slightly, a little coldly, and then speaks to Rohan, "So, you want to join the East Habari Trading Company? Well...before we can let someone of your...skills...in to the company, we have a small task for you." he voice seems to slither around Rohan's shoulders, and settle in his ears. "There is a merchant in town that we believe has had dealings with someone you are familiar with, 'The Shadow'. He has not been caught, and there is nothing to implicate this merchant, yet. We want you to get in to his house, and place these papers in his vault. In the morning the watch will be raiding his house, and they need to be found." she exhales and leans back in her chair, "Is this something you can do? Consider it your test." Please make your own rolls under the header Shadows on the Vaccum die roller.
Altaris13 01-12-06, 10:32 AM	"So this is a stash and go, rather than a smash and grab, got it lover. Obviously the target needs to remain alive, and I take it in relatively good health." Rohan mulls the situation over in his mind as he talks. And I thought the Shadow worked for the EHTC. Maybe my info is wrong? Could I be in the wrong place? Nah, these chummers is all good. "Alright, I'll take care of it. A test of my meager skills it is. So who is this merchant and where can I find him?"
Myrridin 01-12-06, 10:38 AM	"The target needs to remain in good health...perfect health if possible. This has to look natural, not like he's been set up." she emphatically states. "The merchants name is Brendan Jacobs, he imports textiles, at least that's his offical business, and his house is located about a mile from here, in the merchants district." she finishes and stands up with a packet of papers in one hand, and a slip of paper in the other. "Here's the packet that you will plant in his safe, and here's a map to his house. I trust that you will get rid of the map after looking at it?" she says. "Assuming you are successful, someone from the EHTC will contact you tomorrow evening; after the raid on Mr.Jacobs."
Altaris13 01-12-06, 10:54 AM	Rohan slips out of his too-large chair. Stepping forward, the dark clad halfling bows to the elf maiden. "Perfect health indeed. And get rid of what map?" he says while taking both the map and the papers in hand. With a smirk, he adds "By your leave madame." Without waiting for an answer, he turns on his heel and quietly pads out the door in search of this 'Mr. Jacobs.'
Myrridin 01-12-06, 11:49 AM	It's a night that seems tailor made for Rohan's task. The night falls swiftly, and a light fog permeates the area. It's almost enough to make one wonder if there isn't a beneficial god looking down on Rohan......nah. Rohan easily makes his way through the empty streets in to the merchants quarter. There are a few street lights on, but he automatically stays away from their glare. Before him rises a three story house, a bit nicer than the rest of the two story houses on the block. The front entry way has a steel grill fence around the small yard, and a solid looking oak door behind it. A bored guard leans against the outside wall, guarding the door. There is an alley that runs alongside the right side of the house.
Altaris13 01-12-06, 12:16 PM	Rohan, with his hood down to avoid drawing suspicion, saunters along the block in a slightly drunken fashion. He pauses to oggle the guard, wondering idly if the guy will fall asleep soon. The halfling moves on down a few feet, before pausing to sway, and to take a look around. Once 'feeling a little more steady,' the halfling moves on down the street rounding the bend of the house on towards the alleyway. At the opening to the dark area between the homes, Rohan gives his head a shake and steps to relieve himself on a wall. Rohan is walking with a flask in hand (acid.) Hopefully it'll be taken for a drink of some sort. How busy is the street traffic? Are there any city watch on patrol? How do things looks in the alleyway? Bums or other peoples? How cllimbable does the house look from the back? Spot check (1d20+8=26) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334112) :cool: bluff check (1d20-1=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334114) :(
Myrridin 01-12-06, 01:48 PM	The guard peers bleerily at Rohan, but doesn't seem to notice anything suspicious about him (2+1=3 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Shadows#166232)) perhaps that's because the odor of strong drink radiates off his body. Rohan "staggers" past, and at the end of the alley is greeted with an open second floor window. According to the map, the safe is kept on the second floor, on the opposite side of the building from where he is now. The street is fairly empty. In the time that Rohan staggered around, and relieveed himself, he saw two other people walking along it.
Altaris13 01-12-06, 02:29 PM	Rohan grins to himself at his own cleverness and steps deeper into the shadows of the alley. He holds there for a while, crouched behind an outcropping of the building in the darkness. Once assured that none have spotted or investigated yet, he quietly and slowly begins to climb towards the open window. Take 20 on the Climb check. Go at 1/4 speed to avoid MS penalties. Hide & MS (1d20+15,1d20+13=[12, 15], [15, 13]) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334172) 27 & 28
Myrridin 01-13-06, 09:24 AM	Rohan is impressed with his climbing prowess, and as soon as he's inside, he ducks behind a large marble statue. After a cursory inspection, he determines that it's a rather idealized statue of the merchant, Jacobs. He scoffs a bit...somehow doubting the Adonis like features that are carved in to stone. The hallway is dark and goes straight. Ahead of Rohan, about 20 feet, is a partially closed door. (Listen: 12+10=22 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Shadows#166251)) Rohan hears the sound of snoring coming from the room on the other side of the door.
Altaris13 01-13-06, 09:51 AM	Rohan is a shadow among shadows as he slips through the house. He approaches the sound of the snoring just beyond the partially closed door. At the door, the halfling pauses to listen intently for long moments. Once satisfied that none are awake, he squeezes through the narrow opening, doing his best to avoid touching anything. Hide & MS (1d20+15,1d20+13=[20, 15], [4, 13]) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334755) listen check (1d20+10=13) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334760) Escape Artist (1d20+9=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334758)
Myrridin 01-13-06, 10:11 AM	Rohan creeps up to the door, and listens intently for a moment. The breathing doesn't even change rhythm, and in fact, may get a little deeper. He squeezes through the doorway, and sees a very large room. The massive four post bed is on the far wall, approximately 25 feet away from him. On the near wall, across from the bed, is a large mahogny desk, with a painting hung on the wall behind it. Rohan stares at the painting for a minute, and then it registers to him the painting is slightly off (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Shadows#166252) as if it has been moved out of the way for a second, and then carelessly rehung.
Altaris13 01-13-06, 03:21 PM	Rohan creeps across the floor quiet as a mouse. He approaches the desk, and just barely lifts the painting to see if the vault is there. If so, he ever so carefully climbs up onto the desk and then lifts the painting off its hooks and gingerly sets it down. Taking a moment to perview the lock, he queitly sets his tools out and begins to pick the lock.

Myrridin 01-13-06, 04:19 PM	Lifting the painting it becomes clear that there is indeed a safe there. Rohan examines (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Shadows#166259) the lock for a second, but doesn't see anything. He works on the lock, and hears a tiny *ping* noise as the last tumbler falls in to place. Your move
Altaris13 01-13-06, 05:28 PM	Rohan eases open the safe just enough to slide the requisite papers inside and then closes it once more. Then he carefully places the painting back on its hooks, eases down off of the desk and creeps back out into the hallway. Hide & MS1d20+15,1d20+13=[6, 15], [2, 13] (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=335081)
Myrridin 01-16-06, 09:11 AM	The painting rests again in the position that you saw it when you first entered. There was no change in Mr. Jacob's breathing the entire time. You creep back out of his bedroom, and as you move down the hallway, you see a small puddle of light coming up the stairs, probably 20 feet from where you are now. There are a couple decent sized plants, and statues along the hallway that could provide a place to hide.
Altaris13 01-16-06, 03:49 PM	Rohan does just that, creeping over to hide in the deeper shadows of the large, potted plants. Hide & Move Silent. 1d20+15,1d20+13=[16, 15], [6, 13] (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=337372)
Myrridin 01-16-06, 04:25 PM	Rohan sees an old man carrying a candle come up the steps and pause for a second, listening to the snoring coming from within. With a small smile, he turns and heads up the next flight of stairs, completely oblivious to you.
Altaris13 01-17-06, 11:16 AM	Rohan waits for long moments, until well after the light of the candle has disappeared up the stairs. Once all is again silent, he continues creeping down the hallway, to the back window in which he entered.
Myrridin 01-17-06, 11:23 AM	Peering out the back window Rohan sees that same, empty alley way as before. With a moment's thought, he silently (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Shadows#166406) moves down the wall and easily finishes his climb on the side of the house. I figured a sneaky/open locks type of challenge was more appropriate than actually having Rohan fight an ECl 1 opponent for his miniquest. I will write the wrap up in the next post, if you have nothing else that you'd like to do.
Altaris13 01-17-06, 11:36 AM	I figured a sneaky/open locks type of challenge was more appropriate than actually having Rohan fight an ECl 1 opponent for his miniquest. I will write the wrap up in the next post, if you have nothing else that you'd like to do. Nope, I'm all good. I really appreciate the consideration too. This was a cool MQ, thank you.
Myrridin 01-18-06, 09:40 AM	The next morning Rohan is awakened by the town crier in the square outside his room. "Brendan Jacobs, merchant from the coast, has been accused of selling weapons and goods to Jindl, the murderer from the High Forest. The charges were brought by the magistrate, after documents were found delineating the events. More news as this develops!" the crier yells briefly, and then moves on. Rohan hears the door open, and spins around to see who enters his room. His hand is already on a dagger. "There is no need for that, Rohan Darkheart." Va'ria's voice floats towards him as she enters the room and closes the door. "You didn't think that we were actually setting up one of our own, did you? That was a test. A test to see how far you would go to help us, and your standing in the East Habari Trading Company." she pauses for a second, and then looks at you with a more calculating eye, "You make a fine addition to our Company. Welcome." and with that she smiles directly at Rohan, and then leaves the room.
