Welcome to Gaia! ::

"what's this?"

He smirked adn placed th edevice on a nearby crate. "if there's one thing I've learned from that has happenedm having a heart is vital to survival, no matter who or what you are... Thanks Zarud." He watche dthe mich mage leave then he himself headed back to the tavern to meet his contact face to face. As he sat back down he thought abotu what the spy had said to him, "young fool, has no idea the gravity of what's going on..."

(I'll go with it this time but, next time if you cannot tell me what time the hour is... you'll miss the meeting. Ok?)

Arachnae stood cloaked and watched as the young one arrive about an hour late. She had not really expected him to recognize such a surface reference to time. Still, he could have taken the time and effort to have found out but his actions spoke much to her of him and she planned to use that to it's fullest advantage.

Detatching herself from the shadows she joined his company before he had finished his ritual and knew that there was one that could possibly still get through his wards.

"You 'asked' for a meeting I believe?" She spoke low so as not to be overheard or startle him.

She nodded once and gestured to the table.

"Accepted and we will speak no more on it. Bad for business. How may I be of assistance, young Reivan?"

He nodded his thanks, "war will be coming to Au'shinduago, and although Lord Zarud has his own spies gathering information, I'd feel more comfortable if someone more neutral and unbiased was also collecting for us... as much as I'd hate to admit it, profit would be the best incentive to gain the truth for this job."

"The third house of ullor'bath (sp?) has been discovered as the main instigator in the coming war. The council will need any and all information on military movements, the flow of weapons and other items of war, as well as any alliances being made." he then smirked, "and I'll need something for myself, I 've heard rumors that the surface mages have created an object that allows the user to see in any darkness, including the magical shadows that we drow can create..since not even we can see through them such an object is both an asset and a problem, if you could I would like to get my hands on an Ebon Eye, as they call it."

"the sooner both are accomplished the better.. and I know that look, shall we start at five hundred gold pieces and go from there?"he asked with a relaxed smile.

He chuckled, "The informant seeking information? interesting... Val'atar's standing in this city is a shaky one... certain influential people are beginning to find his arrogance a problem, and recent events are strengthening that belief... not to mention the surge of power received by the Revenancer's temple. Kiaransalee rules this city by the faith of it's denizens but Val'atar is trying to strengthen his own grip through political means. Personally I can only two ways this can end, one of them backs down and lets the other have control, or the city falls into a civil holy war." he said with a shrug, "either way the only real winners are people like us who can adapt quickly and take advantage."
