Prophesied

As the five of you sit around the campfire, eating the wolf meat, Menzo explains his reasons for coming to Sollette.

The genasi sighs. "I'm afraid I have some very terrible news that may or may not be true. My lord and lady sent me here to recover one of our diplomats. They have also sent me to investigate a vision that my lady had." Here he hesitated. "She saw... the end of your world."

Mambele, who had been attempting to disguise his excitement by trying to appear sober and attentive as the Genasi spoke, goes ashen-faced and wide-eyed at this revelation. Certainly he had expected something grand, but not at this level! For the first time since his childhood, he feels himself crushed down by the weight of his imaginary responsibilities. Feeling the world spin a little under his feet, he grabs onto Richter's shoulder for support, which can't be pleasant for the barkeep, given the condition of his ribs.

Fang simply bursts out laughing. "Seriously? The end of the world? This has to be a joke! " When he noticed the genasi was not smiling, Fang calmed down. "... so, the end of the world, huh?"

The wilden's expression does not change at the words. After listening to the other's responses, she finally turns to the genasai and says "So this is why Mother wishes us to leave."

"I'm afraid I am quite serious. My lady Jesend-Zeran has had prophetic visions before. They have proven to be accurate. My goal is to find lady Lilith-Zeran and investigate this world to see if it is truly in danger." He looks around at the wilderness surrounding him. "Lady Lilith-Zeran was to approach one of four civilizations for trade arrangements. Do you know of any powerful enough to warrant this? I'm afraid I have no idea where to look."

Everyone roll a History check.

Even Tulkavoa're. I think it's time your racial consciousness started to give you some information.

Fang shrugged. "The only people I would know of that would draw the attention of someone from another plane would be the humans in the big cities. That's where I've noticed a lot of the big name sorcerers and wizards come from."

Everyone check your PMs and continue.

Tulka nods once at Fang's suggestion. "There are the Cestal as that one says, and the Pasaer. This one has never seen a Pasaer, but the brothers and sisters have. From what we can tell, they are old Cestal who hide in the mountains. "

Mambele smiles, now more relaxed as the conversation steers into familiar territory. "Well, every race in the books feels like they deserve special attention, but if we're narrowing it down to four, I reckon you'd want to put the humans and the dwarves on the top of the list. Maybe the Dragonborn too, though they no longer carry the clout they did in the old days. Wouldn't hurt to go knocking on the Tieflings' door on the Great Divide either. Or tent flap, rather. And on second thought, it probably would hurt after all, if half of what they say about the Tieflings is true." There is a tone in his voice that suggests he is, of course, far too clever to go around believing hearsay, though. Or maybe he just wants it to sound that way.

Menzo sighs. "But which would be the most likely? I don't have time to attempt them all. If the vision was true then I there is barely enough time to try one!" He turns to Ricker. "What is your suggestion, good sir? You have much more experience then any of us."

Ricker sighs and sits back. "I honestly don't have a clue. It would be easier to just flip a coin." He thinks for a second. "Or two."

"I suppose you are right." He turns to the rest of the group. "You have already saved my life. I will repay the favor by bringing you with me and helping you off of this dying world. If the vision proves true, that is. And if you are to come with me, then I suggest we put it to a vote. Where do you believe our best bet lies?"

OOC: For more information on which would be more likely to garner the attention for a trade agreement, roll a diplomacy check.

You don't have to roll if you don't want to, though. Feel free to just guess.

Tulka's eyes roll back into her head for a moment, and she becomes still. After a few moments she "awakens" and looks right at Menzo. "Our brothers and sisters say that the Pandrylshys..." she pauses as she searches for the common word, "...Dragonborn?" She looks to Mambele for verification, and seeing no giggle on his lips continues. "They live on an island, and have a lot of things not found other places."

"Well..." Mambele says, looking pensive. "You said your lady in question was looking to start a trade agreement, so the answer really hinges on... what it is that she was hoping to trade for? That would make it much easier to determine whom she would have approached." he suggests.
