"What a shithole."

*Many people found raven rock quite interesting. Nereva didn't. She hated this place ever since she left. It just reminder her of the misery and hopelessness of her childhood. Slaving away drawing schematics for mining equipment. She stepped off the boat. She had illicited no Xenophobia from the residents. She was no outlander, they could tell even if they hadn't met her. She went to where her parent's lived. House wasn't theirs anymore, her parents weren't anywhere in sight. She didn't care. Always figured they'd disappear someday. She rented a room in the Retching Netch for a week or so. Should be enough time. Things seemed off though. Tavern wasn't as crowded as it should be. She sat downing Sujamma.*

"Do you have any Necrom Nights?" He asks Geldris, "C'mon Sadri, I know you're holding out on me." He says with a chuckle, "Fine then, do you at least have Sweet Scamp? Thank you, sir." He says, placing a handful of septims on the counter, taking his glass of Sweet Scamp Mazte and sitting at a table, a myriad of papers and books scattered upon it, he drinks and mumbles

*She was sitting at a table just next to his. She was taking notes, writing in Daedric.*

"I take it you might be academically inclined."

*She said without looking up. She'd already drank a whole jug of Sujamma, and she seemed perfectly fine. She could likely out-drink anyone in the room.*
Phyllis
"You could say that." He says, "A job like mine you end up doing a lot of research." He doesn't look up from his work, shuffling through different books and papers, writing on most of them

"Then I suppose you've kept track of... Occurances... Around here. New occurances. I lived here 50 years ago or so. I've heard word of strange dreams... I saw the "Stone" On the way in."

*She paused, looking not at her notes, but sort of staring off into space at the floor.*

"The Arch Mage at the college told me to find Galdres."
Phyllis
"It's my job. Pays alright, and gives me something to do." He says, "Yeah... The All-Maker Stones, been here since the Skaal, maybe longer, something's messing with them." He looks toward her when she says his name, "That'd be me. You've met Jo'Del, then, he comes here every once in a while, mostly for alchemy ingredients, and other such things."
Douglas
"Ooooooooooh."

*She said aloud.*

"Yes, I'm the Thaumaturgy Wizard at the college. My research brought me here... I have theories about these occurences... A tribunal cult, or a dragon priest. I'd just like to investigate and see what I can find."
