Subject: Update
From everyone but Devalero, I'd like a preferred Marching order, and of course a decision of which route to take towards the keep.
You may converse in the game thread, or come up with a general opinion and agreement here, and I'll update accordingly.
Loriel, I've added 2lb bag of ground mudpepper to your inventory. It's the hottest you could find.

Subject: A choice in travel plans
The hour had passed for the companions, some more easily and profitable than others. Loriel Xaris, Linnix, and Barrbarra had all been able to locate what provisions and extra equipment they had sought without incident or trouble, while Aelistae had come dangerously close to confrontation and bloodshed, leaving that ally with the loss of a few stolen heartbeats, and the admiration and kindness of a handsome stranger in the green.
As the priestess of Ellistrae approached the open gates of the city, she recognized Loriel, Xaris, Linnix, Barrbarra, Elesia and Bart were all awaiting her arrival. Bart sat atop an aging mare; the beast was tied to a simple wagon, upon which was stocked numerous barrels (6) and a couple small footlockers against the upper rail. There remained almost three feet of length remaining in the wagon, the width reaching four feet across from rail to rail. Both Bart and Elesia waved openly towards Aelistae as she neared, and they in turn received more than one dubious stare from onlookers as they openly accepted the drow amongst their company.
Loriel stood next to Moira, securing a small bag of some potent smelling spices. “Imported from Calimshan” was printed across the side of the pouch in bold black ink. Moonshadow, pawed at her nose standing next to her master, and soon circled around to the other side of Moira to be away from the ground mudpeppers held within. Finally, the companions were together, and they were ready to depart.
After seating and travelling arrangements were made, along with a general marching order decided upon, the group needed to decide how they were going to approach the keep’s location. Looking at a map of the region Bart had brought along, it seemed roughly 300 miles cutting directly across the wilderness, and the Sulduskoon River if they made a straight shot for the Keep, or they could travel around along the trade way, past Castle Tethyr and then north to Zazesspur, cutting back east towards the Keep’s location. Doing so while safer would add considerable travel time to the already lengthy expedition. Bart judges the route would cover almost 500 miles of terrain, but mentions that with less chance of encounters and more used roads, they may actually be able to cover more terrain per day than across the unfamiliar wilderness.
“I’ve packed enough food to keep us fed for a couple tendays, mounts and pets included. While rice, breads, water and some simple dried meats may not be the most luxurious of meals, they are staples of any campaign, and they saw us through the war, so they should suffice for our trip. So, with that in mind, I put the decision to you my friends. Do we stick to the trafficked roads, or cut north west into the wild?”

I love the chance for more interaction and detail. While I personally will likely stick to my own photobucket, by all means copy any and all pics, maps diagrams etc I place here, on said site, as well as any PC pics you all might find along the way. Saves searching back when we're up to 50+ pages and you wanna know what that dashing npc you met waaaaaaaaay back when looks like.

Look at the priestess kissing the married man'. hehe..
I figured pics for possibe recurring ncs of not ad what not would be interesting. Since the Pc's will be doing plenty to keep their images from fading into obscurity, I thought I'd give the NPC's a little somethin somethin to keep them more involved.

Subject: there you are
And so up she climbed, above the darkness which enveloped her, and above the dangers of the ruffians below. As she reached the lip of the rooftop, a leather gloved hand met her and hoisted her up to the rooftop. There, before her was a man in his early thirties dressed in fineries befitting a noble, but bearing the weathering of a man who had long traveled the roads of the world.
“Ah, the rumors of an Illithyri gracing us this day, but they did not do justice to the beauty that stands before me. You are far from home Aelistae D’Vrann, Blade Siister of Ellistrae, and I fear the common folk do not look upon the moon and her Ladyship in the same light as you.” The stranger took a step back to give Aelitstae a once over. “Forgive me, my name is Nash Lambert, and I couldn’t help but overhearing you earlier at the Queen-Monarch’s proceedings. Do not think me one to eavesdrop, but one can never be to careful in these days of ulterior motives and vested interests. It would appear to me that other’s too have taken an interest in you priestess, though I dare say they are not nearly as innocent as my own. This is the closest I have been to one of your kind, so forgive me if my eyes linger, or wander anywhere they should not for I mean no disrespect, and my wife would certainly hang me herself were she to think me fraternizing with any woman, much less yourself.”
Ash took a look around from where he was standing, and pointed a distance of some half dozen blocks to the north, where the gates of the city could be seen rising above the rooftops.
“While my curiosities would bid me entice you with food and fun I have a wife who will be wondering about my prolonged absence, and you have companions awaiting your arrival. Stick to the rooftops when available, and stick to the main thoroughfare when not. The looks may be more plentiful, but it will certainly be safer than any more back alley side ventures.” Turning to Aelistae he grinned a slight smirk and spoke with obvious sarcasm “Oh, and welcome to ‘civilzation.’
With that he stood there and ran his fingers through his sandy locks, a slight smile upon his lips.

Subject: Ginafae
The priestess of Ellistrae was desperate, escape her only viable option. She removed a dagger and slid the thin blade between the twin boards which served as shutters, and sighed a sigh of relief as she felt the latch pop open. Perched precariously on the window sill, she replaced her dagger and opened one side of the shutter, to which she was met with devastating news. Behind the shutters of wood were bars of iron, any hope of escape stolen from her in her moment of hope.
The footsteps above her closed, but then a gasp from above coupled with the sounds of a quick shuffling of feet had Aelistra’s attention turned skyward, where she was met with a pair of male bodies tumbling over the side of the building much to her surprise.
As the bodies of her would be assailants crumpled to the alley floor below, a ladder of rope unraveled over the side of the building aside the window upon which Aelistae was perched.
After a few moments a voice from on high broke Aelistae’s determined thought process. “Would the princess like for me to pack a picnic while I wait? Or shall I simply take my leave and leave you to your… suitors.?” The voice was filled with a foreign accent the likes of which Aelistae had never heard. It was spoken in common, with a husky melodic tone complimenting the sarcastic nature of his little quip.
The sound of a crossbow bolt rattling off the building to her immediate right would serve as further incentive.

Gafgerion let his laughter fade until an uncomfortable silence filled the chamber. He sneered at the quartet of scholarly strangers, particularly Parsius. “You know, in youth one expects to find enthusiasm and intrigue, yet now I see only fear and uncertainty in your eyes.” Gafgerion stepped forward in an uneven shuffle and reached forward pointing a thin boney hand at Parsius. The skin barely clung to his fingers, and he waved them at the young wizard as if chastising a child.
“Now now. You signed the parchment, your in this for the long haul aren’t you? Or would you prefer I send you back to where you came from?”
Parsius looked around to everything that surrounded him and he slowly nodded his head. “I’m sorry master Gafgerion, but I want no part of Necromancy.”
Gafgerion merely smiled all the wider, his finger taking on a greenish glow. “No part of necromancy? Why necromancy is as much a part of any living being as it is anything not. Everything must come from something, would you commit the same line of thinking to a bird summoned from the weave? Or a stone wall fashioned from simple clay? Creation, Summoning, Evocation, Necromancy, all hold similar ties. Tis a shame really, for I know all too well that you are aware that Necromancy is a forbidden School in Tethyr, as it is in much of Faerun. However, I cannot allow one so weak minded as you to risk exposing my vision.”
Parsius backed away and put his hands up in a defensive posture, sweat beading across his temple as he fumbled through the incantations of a spell.
“Allow me to be your mentor in one final lesson Parsius.” Gafgerion said with a smirk. “Allow me to show you the powers that mastering life and death allow.” with that, he pointed a withered finger at Parsius, whose connotations of his spell began to slur and stammer as his attempt at escape fizzled on his lips. A green glow enveloped Parsius, who simply fell to the floor dead in the span of his last heartbeat.
Gafgerion turned to face the other three who were still with him. “Any other non-believers?” His smile only grew wider. Turning he wiggled his fingers while crushing a shimmering powder and sprinkling it into the air. “Come now, there is much to do, much to see.” With a final release of magical energies he added: “And Parsius pick yourself up, there is work to be done. “To the surprise of some, and interest of all, Parsius rose from his prone position, his eyes filled with an unholy red light. And he shambled slowly along with the others.
Moving into the darkness, only the red lines of magical energy serving as illumination Gafgerion led the others into a small alcove which housed a single table of ancient wood. There, upon the table sat four items. Each one, a simple brooch in the form of a iron serpent wrapped around a gilded leaf. “These, are yours for the taking. Each will allow a single use of a variety of powers. But the lesson of discovering their powers is yours to undertake.” Gafgerion cackled another little laugh as he stuck one of the brooch’s on Parius’ robe, tapping him lightly on the side of his pale, expressionless face. “There there, doesn’t that look good?… What, no answer? How ungrateful.” With another cackle he moved on past the alcove into another chamber leaving the three other scholars alone.

The alleyway filled with an impenetrable darkness, and the would be thieves, reacted with surprising speed. The man alone on the far side of the alley pushed his back to the wall while the crossbowman fired a bolt into the darkness. The projectile cleared the darkness and sailed down the alleyway out of everyone’s view into the next lane. Only a shrill scream alerted those in the alley that the projectile had hit some innocent bystander. Aelistae meanwhile had stuck her fingers to the wall itself, doing all she could to find footholds and hand grips in the wooden walls to climb herself up. She successfully managed to climb the 10’ to a window, wooden shutters clamped shut kept the possible freedom of the inside just out of her grasp.
Below, the trio of street thugs clamored about the alleyway, while one of them whistled a shrill call, to which footsteps above Aelistae could be heard.

Aldaris cast his eyes over the dais, trying to see if anything pertenant stuck out of the stone surface, any runes, glyphs or langauges he might decipher.
Moving on from it though, he made sure to commit the order of lanterns and their colours to memory, before directing Jeeve's forward towards the green glow once more. Jeeve's walked with his sheild raised above him like an umbrella for Aldaris, protecting against the cobwebs and anything that might fall upon his master.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Detour for Aelistae
As Aelistae moved through the winding streets of the capital, she bore the grace of a dancer, but the trappings of a warrior. Blackened links covered her frame, but even they did not stand out in the morning sun as did her skin. The priestess had not ventured through Darromar before, and the vast metropolis seemed an encroaching maze as she made her way silently towards the north. Awkward glances seemed to turn into condemning stares, as common folk parted her path as though she were a leper, and a small following of unruly looking characters had begun to shadow her every move. Aelistae continued along her way, she did not want to cause a commotion, though her sensitive Elven hearing could hear their padded footfalls as they moved about her. She picked up a fellow in front of her speak to a woman on his arm that she should meet him by the north gate, that he would head there now and await her return. With a parting peck on the cheek the woman continued on while the man turned down a side street.
Thinking to follow the man, to make quick time towards the gate, she turned down the side street herself, and continued down the narrow alley with buildings looming overhead on each side. She continued down roughly forty feet, before the man ahead of her turned around to face her, revealing a rugged and unshaven face.
“Don’t ye know it’s rude te follow a stranger?”
“Especially when yer all alone ye pointy eared night rat” Came a reply as two more unscrupulous men, one wielding a club at his side, the other a crossbow leveled at her rounded the corner and stepped up to prevent her escape.
“Now I dunno what your kind’s doing up here, but we’ve ‘ad it rough enough without ye cavern crawlin spider-bitch worshippin negrelf’s showin up in our cities.”
“You tell em Amar,” came a rouse from the man before her, who slowly drew a previously concealed dagger.
“I’m not completely without mercy though.” Amar said with a sneer. “While I bet I could fetch a high price fer your body, dead or alive mind you, I do so hate the spill blood before lunch. So I’ll tell ye what. Hand over that interesting lookin weapon, along with yer purse, and we may just let ye crawl back under the rock ye dared come from.”
The threats only elicited grim chuckles from the other two ruffians, who took a step forward to emphasize the point.
(Amar and the crossbowman are roughly 35’ behind you, while the dagger wielding man is approximately 20’ in front of you. The walls are wood and mortar and rise roughly 10 feet before scattered shuttered windows peer out over the alley, the rooftops are just over 22’ up, and flat.)
