Karamel's spell seems to confirm the Loremaster's words... there's definitely a trace of divine power left in the dust, hinting that whatever cast the spell to break it was channeling the power of the gods themselves.<br/><br/>"Exactly right, Barlow." The loremaster says, giving the oracle a brusque nod. "Now, that leaves us with the question... what can<em>we</em>do about this? "<br/><br/>The loremaster chuckles and motions around the room.<br/><br/>"Needless to say, this is where you come in. My little birdies have been whistling an interesting rumor to me lately..." He gives you all a conspiratorial wink, and points to the large map on the back wall of his room. At his gesture, a bright spot of light shines off the southern coast of the continent, near the city-state of Taldor. "They say that a Shelish temple out in the Taldan bay has been housing an effigy of the Flayer for something like a century now. I get the feeling that you'll get some clues about our thief there... and I need you all there as soon as possible. Your letters will return you to your homes easily enough, and I can give you all a token that will take you to the chapter house north of Taldor... but from there, you will be on your own. Those Taldan nobles are still a bit... miffed... at the society for ruining their attempt at claiming the Chelish throne."
