Sorry, but you don't, its that stealthy. Lets not forget this is a necromancer's tower, no telling what could have done that.

 Leiche escorts the four of you into his study. Even she seems surprised to see Geldrei out of his bone armor. He sits in a fairly plush looking armchair. He wears black velvet robes as he sits and drinks a very strong smelling tea. Now that you can see his face, he is a fairly handsome man, though well into human years. He looks as if he hasn't slept in a long time. Oddly enough, his bone arm, rapped in rosaries and other beads, seems more intimidating when he's not in his armor as its now a stark contrast to the rest of his body. Around his neck, an Amulet of Orcin hangs from his neck, one of the many new demigods that were officially "canonized" after the Siege of Vampires. "I trust your evenings went well and that you found your accomodations satisfactory. It seems that three of you are curious about this prophecy no matter its inevitability. My apprentice has a goal that coincides with yours. It is by this that I send the three of you out with her on a bit of a learning expedition. It seems that none of you are quite aware of the enemies and tribulations you will need to face. I've prepared a map and a list of things to do in order for you to better understand the trials ahead." He turns to Ebreth. "As for you, it was Tempesti's request that I send you with them. Since your currently stuck, its about the only thing I can have you do lest you prefer to sit and await these three's ship to come and get them. He said you'd recognize this." He hands you an envelope.

 Ebreth takes the envelope and examines it.

Inside the envelope is a small necklace. It looks strikingly similar to a necklace your mother had before she passed away. Your mother's necklace is back at your home however, you keep it as an heirloom in your room. This one in the envelope is polished silver and platinum, much more extravagent than your mother's, but it has the same family crest as your mother's family.

A look of concern comes over Ebreth's face...
"Where did you get this!?"

Ebreth holds out the necklace, letting it hang inches from Geldrei's face.
"This is my mother's family crest. What buisness do you strangers have with it?!"

His eyes narrow. "You are as hasty and aggressive as the true owner of the necklace. Now get it out of my face lest you wish to suffer my ire." All can hear the seriousness in his voice. "Allow me to draw your attention to the inscription on the back." Written on the back seems to be a very old language, its about three lines long and seems to mirror common in aesthetics, but the similarity ends there accept for one word, "Strati," which is similar to your mother's maiden name, Stratus. "Furthermore, I'm not the man to explain this to you. If you want answers I think you should be able to figure out what you have to do in order to acquire them. Tempesti said he would explain nothing to you unless you chose to offer your aid to these others."

"Then I'll do what I must... "
Ebreth looks to the group.
"You all have my aid. Now I want my answers. Where is Tempesti?"

  *a short burst of boisterous yet nervous laughter* "Woo! That was akward for a second! Welcome aboard ~ I don't know of Tempesti's whereabouts, but it sounds like he'll reveal himself again once you've deciphered some mysterious mystery and we've run whatever errand Master Geldrei was about to let us tag along with Lady Leiche on... I mean, Master Geldrei's the one in charge here with all the info, so... I'd suggest looking to him for the short answers until you can convene with Tempesti again... " *Turns to Geldrei* "So what's this 'learning expedition' we're off to complete?"

Nalani broke into a nervous giggle as Coud broke the tension that was building in the room. She certainly wouldn't have been that vocal with Geldrei. Did the new kid have any idea what he was getting himself into?
"Yeah, what are we going to learn about sir?" she inquired, glancing at Lorea, Coud, Leiche, and the new guy...
What was his name again? she thought to herself...She was never good with names. Finally, she looked back at Geldrei, waiting to see what they'd have to do...

Impaticence comes accross Ebreth's face.
"Very well then... looks like I have no other choice but to finish my part of the deal first. Let's get to it."

He looks back at Ebreth before continuing. This should be simple enough to understand." He sets a folded piece of parchment down. When unfolded, it has a map on one side, marked with landmarks, and a list on the other side. The list has three things on it, intact Neogi skulls, Deep Fungus, and Dettercaps eyes, each of these items marked specifically so you can locate these things easily when using the map. As the group looks it over, Geldrei says, "I need these things so that I may create temporary darkvision goggles for your eventual trip down to meet the one. Each of the items on this list arn't just ingredients, but are also fine examples of the tribulations you may come across. The Neogi have clammered up through the same hole the ettins have, but not beinging strong enough to hold the hole, they were forced to another shaft. I need their skulls, rather heads since they have exoskeltons, that I may creat the frame work for the goggles I'll need 1 head for each person. I need the Dettercap eyes, to craft lenses. A dettercap is essentially a mutated ettercap, its a result from the latent magic radiation that stems from beneath this island. You'll have to collect 10 eyes, which means I need 2 dettercaps, and a few of my eyes have spotted them. As for the fungus, that exists in a very deep shaft, and is a treacherous climb. It will be good experience for when we go to the hive. I also need the glowing fungus as part of the initial enchantment. Fetch me a satchel full. With all that said, you may all stick together or accomplish these goals in smaller groups or alone, that part I don't care about." He pretty much dismisses you all lest you have any questions.

"Super fantastic ~ are there any weaknesses or special abilities these creatures have that we should be aware of? Precautions that should be taken? I like to be prepared... I'm also a fan of strength in numbers, as opposed to splitting up ~ it makes it easier for me to maneuver and be effective." :XP:
