Orhan 3 Day 2 TE 6064

We talk to Enik For. He's happy to know what's going on. But then he tells us that every pirate ship in Pryten has taken down its pirate flag, and taken Letters of Marques to harass Selkai and Danarchis shipping. House Alaxatan was heavily invested in Danarchan wine remember. Darn.

Lankonok and Ardania are at peace too.

We hear that the Lankani are liquidating about 10,000 guys from their army. The Nuyani are trying to hire some mercenaries, but Ardania is throwing huge amounts of money at the problem and buy up every guy in sight.

Orhan 3 Day 4 TE 6064

Oathar talks to Captain Jack for a bit to learn about pirates and privateers and the difference between then, etc.

Some interesting stuff is learned, but nothing really useful.

Orhan 3 Day 5 TE 6064

Haeraan investigates torpedoes. About 100gold per.

Oathar has a meeting with the Defense Minister. Koran Maas comes in and reports about fleet movements. He knows all about where the pirates are. He's quite cool. The pirate fleet is not enough to invade Sel-kai, but will make itself a major nusaince. Then Enik Foor walks in. He then gives an intelligence report from his spies, who say that the Lankani army is moving out of Pocantos. Lankonok conceded a DMZ between them and Ardania. They also agreed to a couple of trade things between Lankonok and Ardania.

Orhan 3 Day 7 TE 6064

We go to Nomikos and make our appointment with the head archivist, Magister Kalindris.

He looks it up and finds a reference to an illusion of a iron sphere on a large iron tripod. There doesn't seem to be much information beyond that. He thinks Utha or his family created the orbs. The only other clue he has is that the orbs were reputed to only be activated when in need and were intented to create havens (against environmental disasters as well as armies and the like). Probably no more than a handful of them.

The book of Talaus. He laughs and says, "Yeah, I wish we had that... Wouldn't that be cool."

There is one reference: "Under the mountain, in the black pit, the glowing pillars will hold the treasures." Sigh the Jerak Ahrenrath base again.

Imre has been thinking and decides that there was one of the Orbs of Rebirth in Norek at the end of the wars of dominion.

Orhan 3 Day 8 TE 6064

We have an Orhan 3 Day 8 party. At full alert. We wait.

Nothing happens. Oh well.

Orhan 3 Day 9 TE 6064

We talk to the Storm Wizard. He is not surprised by any of this, and tells us sure, we can talk to VK if we want, but that's all on us. Andraax will contact us when it is appropriate and necessary.

Haeraan checks to make sure no one has been here since us. It's true.

Imre contacts SM#3 (Voorig Kye).

Orhan 3 Day 10 TE 6064

We get a note from his ambassador saying he'd love to have lunch with us.

Gredorian shows up. He makes small talk over lunch and then reaches under his cloak and hands us a black cylinder with a big button on top. We hold hands and press the button.

Imre brings along one of his best sculpture pieces, as a house gift for VK.

After a while. VK shows up. In full dragon form. Then he walks in the door. We ask him about a lot of things. His answers are pretty much universally "No," "Don't worry about it," or "Sure, as long as you defeat Shreck." He sucks.
