Hm... nondetection?  Anti-magic barriers?  Perhaps a lack of familiarity with the journal was the hindrance... any way, no specific location, but this Selvor Demerak and the new kingdom of Destreda... that certainly was out of the ordinary, for a new kingdom to literally pop up in a months' time without a war breaking out, even here in the dangerous River Kingdoms... like a giant glowing beacon leading the way to their target.<br/><br/>"Okay, have everyone we can continuing their scrying attempts as frequently as possible.  Send me a message - magically preferably - if anything gets through and we have any more data.  Any info of note we gather send my way as well, and if we can get some spies into this kingdom it might be worthwhile since if it's the 'king' we're looking at then we'll be demolishing the kingdom in the process.  Now, you said coming towards us...?"<br/><br/>And indeed, coming towards Chirlot and the man, was a woman who<em>definitely</em>stood out; white hair with white eyes on white armor... a paladin, perhaps?  Can be quite a complication for anything clandestine, should that arise, but there were few better to survive traditional warfare, should<em>that</em>arise.  Chirlot smiled politely and reached out to shake her hand.<br/><br/>"Nice to meet you Miss Mayrose!" she said in a tone as happy as her smile "Chirlot Absylon, you may call me Chirlot.  I look forward to your assistance in this matter."<br/><br/>And then it was the stage, to a young wom... man, young man!  Oh he was positively cute!  Mayrose was a strong, sexy, powerful woman that just oozed sexuality, but this man was... made Chirlot shift in her seat, some 'swelling' making things a tad uncomfortable.  Interestingly the song was in Aquan, a language she knew quite well... which gave her a thought about Mayrose, that white hair and white eyes... something to think about as she watched the man sing about the mermaid and her elven lover, watching him dance about so well... Chirlot even stood with the applause, but took a seat as the young man came and plopped down next to her, opposite the gnome.<br/><br/>"It's very nice to meet you too Memil!" she said, patting his bare thigh beneath the table "Lovely tale by the way... if I didn't know any better I'd have said<em>you</em>were the mermaid in the tale!  Anyway, Memil, Mayrose, Mayrose, Memil, and I'm Chirlot, we'll be working together and I'm sure you know what we're working towards.  Any questions before we get to working out what we're doing?"
