> You enter a modest room lined with shelves of books ranging on various
> subjects. Seated at a desk in a fine silk gown is Sara Mayfler. Her
> long curled grey hair dripping to her shoulders above the midnight blue
> dress. The lines at her eyes suggesting a woman with a love of life and
> a gleam in her eye showing the intelligence and determination that has
> made Bush Namur as prosperous as it is now. Beside her stands Ferrock
> Bladehand, the captain of Bush Namur's defences. Well known to two of
> you (Shalandra and Angavorn) he nods to you and smiles at the remainder
> of you. His orkish grin showing the broken tusk that forms the
> beginning of so many of his stories of battle.
>
> As you look around you notice another figure in the darkness who steps
> forward as the last of you arrive. Moving into the light you see a
> T'skrang with scales of azure blue, and clothing of light tans and white
> smile at you. Briefly alarmed you fear the intruder, but seeing Sara
> and Ferrock, you realise that he is known to them. The T'skrang rests
> against the edge of the desk and you note that the tip of his tail is
> covered with a golden rune, standing out amongst the deep blue scales.
>
> "Welcome!" The figure waves his arm broadly. Pean, Angavorn,
> Shalandra, Kaleb and of course Temorya." He indicates each of you in
> turn and does not miss his naming. "I am Veltus. You have not met me
> before but I am a friend of Sara. I give you my thanks for your
> attendance this evening." The T'skrang smiles at you all and looks to
> Sara.
A friendly smile appears on temorya's face, as the t'skrang looks at him,
and he greats him with a friendly nod.
> "Veltus here is an old friend that has kindly given of his services for
> many years to keep an eye out for interests close to our heart." Sara
> smiles at you all. You can clearly see that she and Veltus share a
> close bond, their movement and body language being very intimate.
>
> "And it is through him that we have learned that a band of bandits that
> operate on our trade routes have recently acquired themselves a new set
> of spidersilk armours." Ferrock steps forward, uncomfortable in the
> presence of Veltus. "The previous years silk is already well made into
> dresses, cloaks, armours and ropes all throughout the kingdom. Even
> with the material lost last year to the scorchers we cannot account for
> this new supply" Ferrock looks across you all.
Doesn't sound good, Temorya thinks, not good, not good, and, as he is as
usual flying, seems to flutter around nervously, but then calms down a little
bit as Ferrock continues.
> "We find it hard to believe that this may be occurring but the evidence
> does suggest that someone in the village may be selling early supplies
> of the harvest to the local lawless contingent." Sara gives a very
> concerned look and continues. "I hope only to find out what is
> occurring and deal with it discretely. The success of our village lays
> with its close knit community and strong ties to the harvest."
>
> Veltus looks across you all "I hope that you will investigate this for
> us. I have chosen you for your skills and also due to the fact that I
> believe you to be amongst the most trustworthy amongst us. My judgement
> is well heeded by Sara and Ferrock has also agreed to your assistance.
> I am here to answer anything you need but we hope that you can deal with
> this indiscretion well before the merchants begin arriving and also find
> the ties to this bandit group. Your duties will be rewarded, as well as
> your discretion. So, ask away! If you accept the task put to you?"
> Veltus bows low to you all and rises with a confident grin.
"That is not good news," Temorya states, fluttering around. "Sure, sure,
it is an honour to help and put my little knowledge into the service of the
community," Temorya responds eagerly. And he really likes his small windling
community and a little bit of fear arrises, that this might be at stake, but
with a shake of his head, he sweeps the thought aside. At the moment there
is evidence, that the bandits have the armour - which is bad news already.
Besides the bandits, do you have any further clues, or even obtained an armour
back? And maybe, any ideas where they come from, which race they belong, is
it a miexed band?" Temorya asks eagerly.
<assuming no>
"Hm, maybe we should start to look around the ones who produce the silk.
Are there any books, where we can look, if there is a difference between the
silk obtained and the amount of spiders around? Could give us at least a
hint." Temorya suggests.
