"Alright. Kyeltziv went to Fluustern to get help, so we can start there. If you're there Lucida, we can probably cut through the forest safely, go as the crow flies. After that, I think skip to Luttiim. Not much in Teleiat to go off of, unless we can discreetly break a high security prisoner out. Hah. Lucida, do you have any disguise to work with? It sure cuts an imposing figure, but the armor doesn't do much for secrecy, unless you're fine with waiting outside of towns.
...Though, Lord Elizabeth, are you fine with Heartstone going public? If something... big happens, and the blame is pinned on us, well, Vranhal could gain another enemy. Not saying we shouldn't try for Emiel, but if we're going to be meddling like this, it could have unforeseen consequences."

1. Get Spirit expertise from the Lupus (Kyeltziv) 2. Get Construct expertise from a Construct Master in a Chirop jail (John, P’orihc, Ki’stha) 3. Don't talk to strangers (Kleigg) 4. Help Kleigg with his mission (Vandolf)
Time: Afternoon
Name: John Freemaneth (TorrentHKU) Race: Human ____________________
[quote="TorrentHKU"]> Yeah, Linna has the right idea. Head in, give Lord Elizabeth a quick bow. "As you can see, there were some unexpected snags in bringing back Emiel. Chiefly, it seems he was involved in some top secret Chirop government project, and they don't want to let him go now." Lord Elizabeth takes a moment to process the message, taking a sip from a mug only to find it empty, and then moves her mug to the side of the desk, only to look over and realize there's no one there to refill it. She and Linna share an awkward stare for a moment before the maid paces out of the room, returns seconds later with a steaming pitcher of coffee and refills Elizabeth's cup.
Elizabeth: "Thanks."
The maid gives a nod, and the lord turns her attention back towards you after taking a sip of her highly caffeinated drink.
Elizabeth: "Any details on that project? What's everyone else up to?"
> Small smirk at these two. "Mom" indeed. "We've got some ridiculously heavily censored records that the Warden of the Teleiat containment facility managed to get us, and some conjecture. The records tell us pretty much nothing except that there's a facility, or at least something, north of Luutiim, probably in a field surrounded by trees. And that it's called Project Heartstone. The conjecture is a bit more useful. The warden included in her note to us that anyone involved in a state sanctioned project would be indefinitely imprisoned and have a precise memory wipe performed if suspected of leaking information. Emiel was initially imprisoned for his incident in Teleiat, but it seems something happened after that, and the containment protocol was initiated on him. Most interesting though, before we left I thought to talk with Emiel again, maybe get some info on Heartstone, at least get some knowledge on Constructs for me. He didn't know what a "Heartstone" was, but when I was asking about regenerating mana and mana-less constructs, for a moment he thought he'd researched AM that could cast like that, but realized he had no memory of it. Was as if the memory had been removed, but not all the references to it. It's just conjecture right now, but yes, we think Heartstone is trying to make Constructs that can cast without a mana supply, like a Mage. It would explain why they needed Emiel's expertise.
As for the others. P'orihc and Ki'stha I sent on to Luutiim to scope out this facility. Met with Kleigg and Vandolf on the way back at Magusalto, I think Kleigg will be joining them, which is good. Vandolf said he wanted to go to Venari, and I've seen nothing of Kyeltziv. Linna and I figured we were over our heads with the Emiel situation, so here we are." > Hand the Warden's notes and files to Elizabeth. Elizabeth flips through the papers before turning back to the warden's notes and reading them over.
She looks towards one side of the room, where a blue mage standing there gives a salute.
Elizabeth: "Update."
Blue Mage: "Done."
She turns her attention back to you.
Elizabeth: "Now, I'll give you a rundown of our situation. The Second and Esthen has declared war on Vranhal, and we're currently on the defensive. A telepath has been taking out our spotters the past few days, the same one that attacked the team sent to retrieve the nullifier in your party. We've managed to hunt down and capture the telepath, she's contained for now, but we've had to pull a trainee out of the cracks and she's operating as our sole spotter for our snipers at the moment. It's a tricky situation, we're pouring reinforcements into Fort Erlyn to force the Second's and Esthens troops towards Vranhal, since that's where our spotter is, while Lucida along with the Wolf Construction company have been covering Hopluit.
The Daeli Matriarch is keeping her hands off for the time being, which is completely understandable, as the Second were allies of the Daeli during the Caelum-Daeli war - it would be unthinkable that she would aid us to fight them off, and they know that. We're limited in the reinforcements we can offer you. However,"
Blue Mage: "Ma'am, we've got uh,"
There's shouting outside the office, and the doors burst open, revealing a figure clad in shining white armor with a matching sword, red eyes glowing under his helm. And a group of soldiers and mages panicking at the fact that a deity of light just waltzed into the building.
Elizabeth: "We've got one person who would be happy to lend you a hand."
"I told you so! *ahem* Hello again Lucida. Thought you would be closer to Hopluit. So you're going to help shed some light on Project Heartstone?" Lucida: "You told me so, yes.
As for Hopluit, I've been hanging around there since the agreement, fending off bandits, which turned into beating up bandits and having Wolf Construction take 'em in, and then fending off the Second's forces with the newly acquired company workers. For assistance on this 'Project Heartstone,' point me in which direction and I'll make every pig squeal."
Elizabeth: "First, I want to get a status check on Kyeltziv, make sure he's still alive and well. After that, discreetly looking into Project Heartstone or getting Emiel out. If Project Heartstone is revealed to the public, I imagine there'd be less of a reason to keep Emiel indefinitely contained - it would at least make breaking him out a bit easier.
I'd prefer if we could avoid getting involved with Teleieat completely, but we're low on options as far as master constructors go."
"Alright. Kyeltziv went to Fluustern to get help, so we can start there. If you're there Lucida, we can probably cut through the forest safely, go as the crow flies. After that, I think skip to Luttiim. Not much in Teleiat to go off of, unless we can discreetly break a high security prisoner out. Hah. Lucida, do you have any disguise to work with? It sure cuts an imposing figure, but the armor doesn't do much for secrecy, unless you're fine with waiting outside of towns.

Lucida: ”Oh, this isn’t Vranhal’s doing. I’m a berserk, psychotic weapon of destruction that’s bullying states into doing what I want.”
He nudges your shoulder with a gauntleted hand.
Lucida: ”See? I just threatened you to do my bidding. That also goes into this ‘disguise’ thing - I’ll be going around like this. The more people buy the whole ‘berserk weapon’ thing, the more it’ll take the flak off Vranhal.” ____________________

You head to the indicated inn, talking to the keepers and getting 4 keys, one for each physical member in the party. You and everyone else heads upstairs to check out the rooms, you entering yours and giving the place a look-over .
Wooden walls and floors, a single bed large enough to fit you, and a nightstand with a metal washing bowl and mirror.
You move mana from your mana stones around, shifting it all to fill the higher cap stones first and then the lower cap ones (369 total mana in loose stones), leaving 13 mana in an 18 cap stone, an empty 18 cap, and three empty 17 caps. You fill up the open 18 cap stones with 23 mana from your totem.
After that, you take the coffin off your back and set it in front of the nightstand, along with the rest of your unequipped items including your warhammer.
You hold on to the folding knife and the organ fragment, though, and after washing your face and hands in the water basin, you take a closer look at the fragment.
It’s about the size of your finger, black in color. Seems to be a piece of a drake’s memory stone. ____________________

"Ah, so he already told you about that. That's fair, I suppose I was hoping you might throw this wolf a bone. I trust you'll see to their safety and the mission's completion.
One more question - have you ever heard of a lupus named Riimuk?"
She takes a moment to think, giving your question serious consideration.

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 232)
Kleigg, Vandolf
Kleigg waves Tabi and Vandolf over.
Kleigg: "Do you have any idea what a mana collection network would be doing underground here? There seems to be a node or a reservoir right below this watchtower."
Tabi: "What? Here?"
Vandolf: "Hm? Something underground? That's interesting, supposedly there's nothing important here. Though, I have heard that this tower's been inverted, so if there's something underground it was probably once near the top of the tower. The guards here might even let us investigate if we asked."
Ettiin: "Hey!"
The three of you jump at the sudden appearance of the armored chirop guard.
Ettiin: "Have you guys heard of the legend of the upside-down tower? Supposedly, this tower is actually upside-down! The door and all the windows were roughly carved in after the flip, and the archways that were now upside-down had the middle of 'em cleared out, which is why the passages between rooms looks weird! The staircase even has stairs on the underside of 'em! The staircase goes several feet down into the ground, but stop at a floor that looks like it's made of a different stone than the rest of the tower.
The tower is property of Teleiat, so we can't just go digging without permission. There've been investigators that tried to scan underground for any sign that there's something down there, but no one has come up with anything.
Until now!
So what'd you find? Some sort of mana node? What's it do? Is there a secret underground civilization down there? Any creepy voices?"

"Hah! That works, that works well. People don't question that which they fear, either. Alright, I'm good with this. I assume Linna is staying here where her services are needed more. Lucida, you mind if I take a breather before we head back out? Spent most of the last 24 hours either travelling or getting schooled."

"I didn't hear any voices, but I have an inkling that there are networks of mana pathways down there - wide enough to span the city. And they converge beneath your tower. Perhaps if you let us onto that bottom floor I'll pick up a bit more."

Lucida: "Sure thing. Just poke a telepath to call me when you're ready, and I'll be there in a flash."
Looks like you've got some free time, and with Linna making sure the lord gets a constant intake of coffee, you can explore the area on your own.
Torrent doesn't seem to be in the room right now in his usual corner, but the beefy armored lupus is standing beside the lord for protection.

Ettiin: "I'd love to let you into the bottom floor! But there's no access. Like, it's just a stone floor a few feet below, and a few construction mages say it's solid for a while down. No secret hatch that I could make out either. Tried pressing every stone too, in case there was like, a secret button or something? Nada.
There is a thing at the current top of the tower though, maybe you'll find that of interest - a sort of slot where a coffin was when they found the tower. It's been since moved to a museum in Teleiat, but the slot is still there."

You leave your room and lock it, turning around and partially jumping from being startled at Horoma standing right there.
There's a strange expression on her face, like a half-smile while trying to maintain a serious look.
Horoma: "Tuhota went around exploring, Miimas fell asleep in her room."

Ettiin: "Let's go!"
The armored guard pulls Vandolf by the arm, who pulls Kleigg by the collar, who is followed by a confused Tabi, the entire group charging up the tower's central staircase, passing floor by floor until they reach the top. Which is, a long way up.
On the top floor, the stairs extend all the way to the ceiling, which would make sense if the tower was upside-down at one point.
In the wall, there's a large rectangular slot with various nodes in the surface, looking like connections for something.
Ettiin: "Look, some sort of, like, giant blocky keyhole or something!"

Elizabeth: "The spotter is on the East wall, in a little elevated hut. Torrent is in the third room over. And yeah, you can speak to the telepath, she's in the prison a block from here, the guards'll direct you to her."

"Tabi... do you think any of these nodes will respond to your control brick?"
