Though he did hesitate at the second sentence, not a good start to a professional relationship. He decided to answer with silence, at first. It seemed apropriate. "Oh.. hoho. Yes, right, where are my manners!" The wizard.. let Kirrs help organized a table, only gesturing for it to be in the back, stepping towards it himself.<br/>Then he ordered an ale (or whatever was desired) for everyone as he took place at the end, allowing for a more private discussion.. for those that wanted to approach, anyway.<br/><br/>"Oh, I'm after the greatest treasure of all, Kirss, Knowledge." He nodded, then looked over to Arrian.<br/>"I have more than divinations, do not worry." He smiled, ever so slightly.<br/><br/>The man looked up, only ever so slightly startled at Ilya's mannerisms, but quickly back in control of himself, he nodded and unrolled a map of the general area (https://orig00.deviantart.net/d3af/f/2012/042/0/0/008ac93509c27dacf1dc66ae3a3b18bc-d4pcn1m.jpg).<br/>"I am Alrun, Old man Alrun, if you prefer. As you propably are aware of, unless you are terribly lost, we are on a small trade road between Arnvald and Redstone, and a half days march away from either. I pose that, to the North-east, below Arnvald, in this, rarely traveled area.. we could find the cave."<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">wis(perception) check 10 or above</div><div class="spoiler_body">You notice that Arnvald is closer than this little village. Plus, cerainly, more capable hands could be found there. Why come to such a remote location?</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Int (History check) 10 or above</div><div class="spoiler_body">Those hills are rarely traveled for a reason. There could be bandits, or even wandering orc-tribes, driven to hide there in the last great war, with no one caring enough to exterminate them.</div></div><br/>"I want to travel with a small, fast group, to be safe from the dangers of the road, and what might have found its way into that cave unwittingly, without being easily detectable from afar.. And the reason why I shall succeed.. is this."<br/>The definitly not a wizard smiled.. and pulled out a compass.. Well, it resembled a compass that had eaten another compass, then grown up to terrorize the nearest village of compasses with its newfound might. Like this but not as glowy..for now! (https://img00.deviantart.net/32ab/i/2018/086/b/f/thaumatic_compass_by_fooyee-dc733a4.jpg)<br/><br/><br/>"Malugrim's eye.. it's amazing what dwarfs and elves could create together, as long as their brief alliances held." He said, placing the compass on top of the map. The compass seemed broken for those that knew were north was.<br/>"It points not to north, but towards the greatest desire of the one that holds it at the time." He revealed. Then, he added..<br/>"And so you can agree.. once I have found the cave, I have no more need for this treasure.. for those that can value it."<br/><br/><strong>DM<br/>Tag: Kirss</strong><br/><br/>The barmaid is more confused and emberassed than hostile to the tush-grabbings! A man by her side asked her to close the windows, as it was drafty in here for some reason.<br/><br/><strong>Arrian</strong><br/><br/>By all you can tell, the man is being genuine, at least for what he tells. There is a subtle urgency in his words that doesn't fit to a treasure-hunt.
