Scribe Notes

Secret Plans

Duesday 1st Frost

Ashkar turns up at the guild meeting seeking 'hard' adventurers for some important work he can't be explicit about in open conversation.

Reconvening in a meeting room, he places a device on the table and there is a Chaos Priestess, Valerian, in the corner to interfere with scrying. Valerian is human, she messes with all prophecy/scrying near her, her face and aura are constantly changing, choatic light emits from the cracks in her visage.

Ashkar explains about the schism within the Brotherhood, he is one of the leaders of the 'Not Dark' portion that is allied with our guild. 

"Lady Bug!" says Tari with expressive loathing.

One of the 'weapon types' during the War of Tears was advanced Chimeras, most of the 'labs' were off plane and lost when the Elven Ways were damaged. Now the Elven Ways are recovering, some of these labs are becoming accessible. Scarlet is leading a consortium to ensure they are not recovered or used for evil ever again.

We travel in Ashkar's carriage to Seagate to meet with Scarlet at a fine inn.

Scarlet shares his history and what he knows of labs. Payment could include acquiring talents of other races. Amulets of Protection from Death.

We decide to check out the Sea of Ash first.

We have some enchanting and Astrology to do before we head out.
