<strong>Nurthan and the destitute old man<br/></strong><br/>The old man glanced at Nurthan and his talking necklace slightly surprised but obviously not so taken back as to be unused to a little magic in his life, he look curiously with those old gray eyes at the necklace as it spoke for Nurthan.  He had heard rumors of Nurthan of course but this was the first time he had met the man, he nodded sagely at the necklaces words and spoke in a solemn tone<em> “Yes there are many who want that one, many who wish violence upon him and those who think ill of him for what he is alone not what he does, but he has friends too.”  </em><br/><br/>The old man looked down for a moment before looking back up and regarding Nurthan once more, he spoke again his eyes seaming to flicker between Nurthan and the necklace as if he was not quite sure of which he addressed.<em>“He is no friend of King Virduk you know, he has been making himself a thorn in Calastia's side for a time now.  But the bat devil rarely gives what is taken, you will have trouble finding him if he hears of your intent.”</em><br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Rhaella the quest continues...</strong><br/><br/>Arsuth stroked at his chin and smoothed his mustache as he eyed Rhaella and listened to her words,nodding as he watched her open her bag a greedy smile spreading across his face.<em>“Yes I see you have more than the means.” </em>He lowered his voice and gestured towards the bag<em>“But I would be careful of how open you are with it here, I of course am an honest man but there are more than my eyes here.”  </em><br/><br/>He grinned at her and gestured for her to follow as he took to the stairs<em> “Come my friend, let me show you to the woman of your dreams tonight you taste and sample perfection itself your wildest fantasies shall I bring before your eyes.”</em><br/><br/>Arsuth lead the way upstairs and made his way along the creaking wooden floor of the second floor towards a suitable room, drunken revelers and happy customers where spread about the balcony and in the corridors perched and sat against the walls or doors of occupied rooms already the seedy side of the tavern was more apparent. After checking several rooms Arsuth found a vacant one and held the door open for Rhaella bowing slightly to her he gestured for her to enter inside,<em>“Please make yourself at home, before I fetch for you my best girl I must discover your ideals your likes for  popularity does not make perfection I shall bring you your dream girl.”</em>
