Good Intent - Kimbra

WHO || Wynn, Sebastian, Taradiddle, Shawn, Thea, Dawn, Indra [Closed]
WHAT || Cape Town Mission Briefing
WHERE || Round Table Room
WHEN || Late Summer, 2016
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread, don't worry about maintaining tagging order.

Just as before, accessing the secret room where the Round Table is housed requires using the Knight's keycard to open the glass case beside the mural of the War in Heaven, located across from the ballroom entrance. Using the fire extinguisher as a lever to activate the "door" mechanism reveals the long torch-lit hall plastered in artwork depicting the Knight's history. The tenants of the Knighthood hang large and foreboding over the doors at the end of the hall, which stand open to reveal the brightly lit Round Table, and the majestic crystalline dragon statue presiding over it.

Come in, find a seat, meet your teammates if you haven't already somehow.

During the 18th century, a young elf mage called Nieulor came through the Veil into our world. He landed in France and was promptly arrested and placed in the Bastille, striped of his belongings. When the Bastille was stormed, he was set free along with the other prisoners.

For years he has been searching for the items the French authorities took from him. Through his research, he managed to trace one item -- an onyx dog figure -- to a French duke who spent years studying it's power, eventually writing a manuscript: Le Chien de l'Oynx -- Sa Fonction et Son Origine Mysterieuses.

Very few copies were printed and barely a handful survive.

Nieulor's most recent research has led him to a man in Cape Town, Vincent Lastrode who has purchased both the onyx dog and the manuscript at separate auctions. Nieulor has contacted us for help in retrieving his possession. He will further brief you when you've arrived.

[Shawn's eyes widen at that because TREASURE HUNT!!!!!

Did he ever tell you guys about how he is totally a bonafide treasure hunter? Because you're sure going to hear a lot about it.]

When do we leave?

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian sat up more listening, smirking a bit despite his headache because this sounded cool.]

[wynn]

Tomorrow. You'll have the rest of the night to pack anything you may find useful.

[watcherjunior]

South Africa. This should be interesting.

[bloodrager]

I can't say I have been.

[opprobrium]

Sounds fun.

[pwnspatrickjane]

[Shawn just nods, already formulating a mental list of tools and snacks that he's going to need for the journey.]

Anything else we need to know before we leave?

[wynn]

I believe that is all. I wish you luck.

[withasouvenir]

[ thea stands up to leave but pauses ] Who's taking point on this one, sir?

[wynn]

That would be you, Sir Queen, if you find it amenable.

[withasouvenir]

Oh! Uh, sure. All over it. [ so inspiring tbh ] Thanks.
