Myst's head was buzzing slightly, not enough to impair her but just enough to embolden her. She had caught the gnome's gaze as he entered, and found it curious. He was the first of his race she had seen in this town... She grinned, slugged down the remaining drink in her mug and turned toward the fellow.
"Hrm a quest you say?" She smiled. "Just got here, but you've gained my interest..."

"Well, my employer is a collector of strange and unusual things," the gnome says "To put it in simply, he wants you to explore the cemetary to see if it's more then just an old graveyard. He's after something specific. Bring back anything of interest; you can keep everything else you find."

If I can I'd like to but in on their conversation and bluff to the gnome I know all about him (Tuigan Feldras) and his cemetary deal... maybe it's the wrong guy. In thats case... ill go buy some of the strongest alcohol I can get my hands on.

"Oh, you know of old Tuigan, do you?" the gnome says, amazed. "He goes out of his way to avoid the world. I'd be very interested to know how you know of him. My name is Ibonek." he says, extending his tiny hand. "Ibonek Neb. So, are you interested?"

Listening Check to hear this and then Legend Lore on the name of Tuigan.

The commons room is actually almost the entire bottom level, including the bar at the far end. With conversations muted to personal levels, you have no trouble at all hearing Ibonek.

As for history on Tuigan, the name is hauntingly familiar but you can't quite recall it...

Myst nodded and extended her hand.

"Myst Windwalker. I might indeed enjoy a bit of an exploration mission. My feet are already becoming mired in the floor..."

She smiled at the other man who spoke.

I can't BELIEVE you haven't heard of him. he's a GENIUS.... (im confusing myself) I'd like to go on the mission. count me in

"Indeed," the gnome muttered dryly, then seemed to perk back up. "Anyway, here's a rough map of where the cemetary was found, up in the Shilmista forest. I hope you aren't afraid of the dark. The forest isn't especially large, but it's very dense so not a lot of sunlight gets through the trees.

What you're after is a short circular band, about as wide as the palm of your hand and about six inches tall. It will be smooth on one end, and notched on the other. It will be well hidden...and probably protected. Well, happy hunting!"

With that, the little gnome heads for the door.

damn... I want more info... can I ask if it was dropped left behind or stolen? cuz it might make a difference... i dunno... I generally avoid errand boy bull. Especially when no silver is involved...

but I can't deny a grave searching expo so idc if i can't ask him all that stuff.

OOC: he hasn't actually left the building yet, so you can try to stop him or ask questions. Don't be afraid to get in character; give Frank a voice.

"It was hidden for safekeeping long ago. My employer feels it is time to seek them out again, though of course even I am not privy to all his thoughts on the matter."

ooc- oh yeah I guess I usually talk out of character but I don't mind. I Don't roll play much I guess.
Introductions were lost on me... heh uhm If you don't mind can I'd like to pretend I wasn't an ass to the guy. (as in shook his hand and introduced myself.) and Myst.

frank "Your... friend, is someone I'm willing to help he is part of my plans... <Bluffing. Also I'm willing to help you acquire his trinket." rolls gather info on danger in the cemetary and surrounding wood. plus finding another party member.

Frank's Gather Information roll

The graveyard is so old that none of the locals even knew of its existence, not even the dwarves.

ooc score rolling a 1 for useless info... well... any way im ready to go I guess im done talking to the gnome. Before he stops talking Frank says "where is the cemetery?"

Another legend lore roll on this band. He talks about the one and then mentions "Them" in passing. Obviously whatever it is, is old and part of a set.

(I'm making this too easy for you LOL)

Unfortunately, you don't have enough information to go on. Yet. Maybe if you could see one...

Jericho will sit quietly by soaking in this information and analyzing.

Not sure what to think of the two player-characters interested in the quest. Hard to tell if they are good, bad, greedy, or just willing to run into danger with reckless abandon.

How are the other two PC's dressed? Are weapons outwardly displayed or hidden? Spot check (first roll)

How do they interact with the other patrons? Do they have a swagger/confidence to them? Or are they just foolhardy? Sense Motive (second roll)

OOC: I'll give you a description of Myst.

Myst is small (5'4") and slight (110 lbs). Her hair is very long and pure white, and almost seems to move as though a constant breeze. The barkeep isn't joking about her sword being as big as she is. To look at her, you would not think there was anyway she could wield the greatsword on her back. The weight of it alone would be too much for a girl her size. She is young (19- but could pass for younger because of her size). If you can catch a glimpse of her ears, they are somewhat elflike, but different to those that know elven ears. She wears a set of plain leather armor, but very form fitting. Underneath the top she wears a white shirt. She wears a cloak with a hood down on her back, in a light blue color with intricate trim in silver. Her eyes (if you get to see them) are very pale blueish silver in color. She has pale skin, not white but very pale. Her eyes are almond shaped, and her facial features very delicate. Other than the hair that doesn't seem to stay in place, she would look normal with her hair down. She carries a bag, plain leather, a quiver of arrows, and longbow. Her boots are well worn. There is a symbol of Shaundakul on her greatsword's pommel, as well as around her neck. She wears her money purse around her neck and tucked into the breast of her armor.

IC: Myst was fascinated by what she was listening to. It was all fascinating to her to watch these interactions. Still, these social morays tended to confuse her as she was so used to being alone.

"I've never traveled with another, but the road has never led me astray and it has led me here. The Journey has been shown to me and I will take it."

My character is the average illuskan except shorter. if you ask anyone you could probably learn that he's a northerner. he wears a simple studded armor an has a crossbow slung from his shoulder resting at his hip. his eyes are blue(not green like it says on my char sheet. I'll change that later.) If you talk to him he seems insane about gaining power any way he can (greedy)

So i think I'm getting ahead of myself but heres my survival check to not get lost in the forest that has the cemetary.

Following the crude map, there is little trouble finding the tombyard, though each person privately admits they would never have found it without guidance. There is no evidence of fence or gate, and the tombstones are mostly small; embedded into the earth. Everywhere, grasses and weeds overgrow the stone markers. In most cases, the weather has worn away the inscriptions that had once adorned each stone leaving each marker pock-marked and featureless.

Everything about the cemetary speaks of a single concept: beyond time.

At the far end of the yard lie the remains of what once may have been a mausoleum. The structure has mostly collapsed on itself, leaving only a single, small opening between the piled stone. Beyond the entryway it is pitch dark and, unlike the rest of the cemetary, chillingly cold.
