TelinArtho 01-11-06, 05:22 PM	[Introduction] Feradeth - come here please. Enzoul's face was solemn and Feradeth could see a bit of worry in his brow. Once inside his private room, Enzoul motioned for him to sit and once he had, Enzoul sat as well. It appears that someone of evil rapport is starting to cause trouble for us. I got word this morning that a family member of one of our staff had been kidnapped in an attempt to gain useful knowledge of our workings. This, combined with the recent discovery of the Silver Acorn and other disturbing news with the nunnery - there's something afoot here and I need agents of our ilk to search them out. Enzoul paused, finding a handkerchief in his pocket and wiped his forehead. I'm not sure exactly where to start - but it would seem we need a better footing even here in Arkhein. I have already sent Lady Ural to investigate the matter of the nunnery - so you shall work in concert with that endeavor - just from a different angle. Your work will be much appreciated, and I'm sure your dilligence will be of the utmost standards. So, what do you say - will you help us root out these troublemakers?
Kaigan 01-11-06, 08:10 PM	"I would be honored to help the Celestial Forces. I will focus my attention to this right away." Feradeth pauses, and in that short time, Enzoul can sense something troubling the young aasimar. When asked about his troubles, Feradeth gladly tells. "Oh, I will do this quest, but I am on one already, however, after completing this mission, perhaps some of the CEF's resources can help me with my quest."
TelinArtho 01-12-06, 05:54 PM	Yes - the Celestial Forces will always do its best to help out anyone in need - especially our members. Since you accept this task - I want you to investigate the matters of a magistrate by the name of Derimbar. He is responsible for many of the judicial matters overseeing the lower class and it seems of late that his actions have been prejudiced somehow. He lives here in Gladius, just at the edge of Arkhein. Investigate and make sure his rulings are indeed true and fair. If they are not - find the source of his change of heart and try to resolve it. Moving over to a window overlooking the district, Enzoul points out a small mansion on the west side of Arkhein. That's his house there. Beware though - if he has been influenced - I'm not sure of the extent of the treachery going on. Report to me when you have further news on it.
Kaigan 01-13-06, 06:09 PM	"Very well, I will proceed with caution. I will return with my report." Feradeth stands and salutes, then heads outside. He mounts up, and rides to magistrate Derimbar's mansion. His mind drifts to his brother Aeulath. It has been months since he has last seen the champion of Correlon. Perhaps the CEF will help him find him. He arrives at the mansion, and at the sight of it, he quickly shoves his thoughts out of his mind, and focuses. He searches the complex looking for anything unusual, and uses the gift that Correlon gave him, the ability to detect any evil presence. After his searches he will knock on the door and present himself.
TelinArtho 01-13-06, 09:43 PM	As Feradeth makes his way around the complex - a nicely sized mansion in its own right - he calls upon aid from Corellon - and surprisingly he does detect an evil presence within the building. In fact - he senses three separate auras of moderate power and another 2 of faint power. The three moderate auras are on the 2nd floor of the building in two separate areas. The 2 faint auras are on the ground floor.
Kaigan 01-14-06, 02:53 AM	Feradeth becomes concerned, but he must learn more. Aura's are not enough evidence in themselves. Feradeth, attempts a non-Paladin way to find this information. Although he is a paladin of Correlon, he is trained in the arts of war, and knows that some sneaking is necessary. He will move closer to the aura's on the ground and try to listen to any conversations.
TelinArtho 01-14-06, 10:09 PM	Okay - so aside from the fact that you are a paladin trying to sneak around a magistrate's home... where are you leaving your horse? Also, I should probably mention that it is winter - so windows aren't likely to be open...
Kaigan 01-15-06, 10:20 PM	Lovely. Umm... we'll do this the polite way. Feradeth decides not to be sneaky and knocks on the front door, announcing himself, and expresses his wish to talk with Derimbar. He leaves his mount near the front door.
TelinArtho 01-16-06, 10:02 AM	2 meek boys come to answer the door. One immediately tends to the horse, and the other, upon mention of the magistrate's name - calls for a fellow by the name of Thurin. The middle-aged Thurin approaches Feradeth at the door and looks him over cautiously. I am Thurin, Magistrate Derimbar's personal assistant. The magistrate is very busy - is there something with which I can help you?
Kaigan 01-16-06, 11:55 AM	"I am Feradeth. I would like to speak with the magistrate regarding some of his judicial policies. I just have some questions that need to be answered."
TelinArtho 01-16-06, 12:29 PM	Judicial policies? Such as? As I said - the magistrate is extremely busy and is in fact in a meeting right now. Although I didn't specify particulars about any case in specific - go ahead and create a few that Enzoul would have mentioned. They should be rulings that are certainly questionable, but not unquestionably wrong. For instance, evidence presented is clearly enough to incriminate, but the wrong-doer goes unpunished, etc. In all cases, the wrong-doer is represented by a man by the name of Artur Silverlines.
Kaigan 01-16-06, 12:46 PM	"My question pertains to some of the magistrates rulings. It seems as if many of his late rulings, regarding a man, Artur Silverlines, seems to be prejudiced. In these cases, the latest one a robbery trial, there is enough evidence to incriminate this man. However, he seems to be released and unpunished in each case. I was just wanting some clarification on the rulings."
TelinArtho 01-16-06, 12:51 PM	Artur you say? That's very odd - for he's only been in town for a fortnight at best. He's had a few cases heard by the magistrate - and I was present at every one. I can assure you - they were all fairly tried. Why don't you come this way and we'll look at the transcripts. Perhaps you and I can piece together why there is this confusion. Also, if you don't mind me asking - why are you looking into court trials in the first place? It surely isn't a past time of the rest of the city. Thurin leads Feradeth into a fairly large conference room that bears a table and 10 chairs taking up most of the room itself.
Kaigan 01-16-06, 01:10 PM	"I am just a messenger, as I am sure you are one too. I obey orders and perform the duties that are required of me. Surely you understand that." Feradeth looks around the room some more, and rests his lance against he should, almost as if it were a pike. "How long will the magistrate be busy, do you think?" Feradeth asks the question casually, and while he talks he uses his ability to detect evil again.
TelinArtho 01-16-06, 01:14 PM	Could be hours I suppose. Give me one minute and I'll get the court documents that detail the cases you are looking into. Just as Thurin leaves the room, Feradeth gets his senses attuned to the evil auras around him. It would appear that Thurin is one of the faint auras - and he moves to another section of the home - near the other faint aura. Above him (on the second floor), Feradeth can sense one of the moderate auras - while the other two are situated in another room of the Magistrate's home. You have a short time before Thurin comes back. Is there anything else you wish to do while he is gone?
Kaigan 01-16-06, 01:23 PM	Feradeth mutters to himself about letting himself in the lion's den. He quickly pulls out a scroll of mage armor and casts it then keeps his lance in pike position, readying his action to attack if they become hostile.
TelinArtho 01-16-06, 01:29 PM	Protecting himself a little more, Feradeth tries to remain calm - calculating to himself what he'll need to do to escape from this situation. After a few moments, Thurin opens the door, seeing Feradeth as he was before. He has a few folders in his hand. He half-closes the door behind him and moves to the table. Here we go. If you would like to take a seat - we can get to the bottom of this. You can't ready an attack outside of combat.
Kaigan 01-16-06, 01:38 PM	"Well, I appreciate the effort that you are going through to aid me." Feradeth moves to a chair, but remains standing for the moment. "So what information can you give to shed light on my questions?"

Kaigan 01-16-06, 03:05 PM	Feradeth steps back 5ft. Drops his lance, draws his sword and taps his tattoo of force screen.
TelinArtho 01-16-06, 04:14 PM	Three people surge into the room - the first going directly for Feradeth, and slashes a gash (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=337419) across Feradeth's forearm with a long sword. [8 damage] One of the others clambers onto the table and maneuvers behind Feradeth while the last is moving around the table to fully surround him. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 7 x x x x x x x x x x x x 6 x . . . . . . . . . . x 5 x . . . . . . . . . . x 4 d .

Kaigan 01-16-06, 05:00 PM	Feradeth doesn't like this. He steps back, to (5,1), and uses his lay on hands ability. He then assumes a defensive position is possible.
TelinArtho 01-16-06, 05:09 PM	Feradeth wounds close up slightly from his faith to Correllon - but not entirely. The others converge on him - the orc charging in, the elf jumping down from the table and the human stepping forward. However, Feradeth's faith is confirmed as the trio of attackers miss horribly (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=337565). Feradeth (5,1) 17/24, Mage Armor (1 hour), Force Screen (ends 11) Thurin (3,2) ??/??, no armor, short sword Human (4,1) ??/??, studded leather, longsword elf (5,2) ??/??, studded leather, mace orc (6,2)??/??, leather, light shield and longsword [Round 3] Thurin steps forward and stabs (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=337567) at Feradeth. The blade pierces (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=337569) deeply and suddenly - Feradeth feels like this is a tight battle. [8 damage]
Kaigan 01-16-06, 05:24 PM	Feradeth smiles grimly and attacks Thurin.
TelinArtho 01-16-06, 05:34 PM	Feradeth attacks (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=337623) Thurin and cuts a slice of his abdomen. Thurin winces in pain, but it is not enough to stop him. The others attack, but again Feradeth's faith rings true as they all miss (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=337626). Feradeth (5,1) 9/24, Mage Armor (1 hour), Force Screen (ends 11) Thurin (3,2) ??-4/??, no armor, short sword Human (4,1) ??/??, studded leather, longsword elf (5,2) ??/??, studded leather, mace orc (6,2)??/??, leather, light shield and longsword [Round 4] Thurin reaches in with his short sword and cuts (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=337627) Feradeth again - a small pool of blood welling up at his feet. [3 damage]
Kaigan 01-16-06, 05:38 PM	Feradeth strikes Thurin again, hoping that he will at least take one of these people down.
TelinArtho 01-18-06, 04:06 PM	Feradeth bites his tongue in determination. Swinging his sword at Thurin, he cuts (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=339335) down the villain - a nasty gash across the chest. Thurin falls. The remaining 3 continue to attack the cut-laden paladin, the orc connects to Feradeth's temple (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=339342) and the paladin falters. Rough times. They simply had too many good rolls and you just didn't get enough for you. One thing I want to mention - when you were charged by the orc, the situation looked like this: . e o h F . If you had taken out the orc - that removes their flanking from you.
Kaigan 01-18-06, 07:33 PM	What is the policy for dying on a quest? Do I just revert to level 4? Because I just leveled before going on this quest.
TelinArtho 01-18-06, 09:08 PM	It used to be reverting to the lowest amount per the current level. I believe Cat changed this though - you'll have to check in the rules.
