He was keen for information about what Lookshy deemed important enough for study, what secrets and wonders they had to research, and about weaknesses in the city itself as well as in their magitechnological infrastructure.<br/><br/>OOC: 2010-09-01 16:28:04     Engineer rolls 3 dice to Convincing      9,6,4   (1 success)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The savants were clearly excited about something.  As they milled about from task to task, their dead bones were full of chattering conversation, and there almost seemed to be a gleam of manic energy in the air.  Their excited voices barely responded to Engineer's questions, yet a pattern seemed to emerge: another living servant of the Deathlords had indeed crossed through the city, and purchased a great volume of soulsteel in exchange for the plans to a highly esoteric weapon.  The plans were in the hands of Thirty Decade's Shadows, the chief Savant-Engineer of the Deleheshen school of Sorcery-Engineering.<br/><br/><br/>Meanwhile, high up above the rooftops of the city, Elegy for the Damned caught a glimpse of a cloaked being, silhouetted by a ray of light shooting from the ghostly remains of the Palace of the Maximum Fallahashu.  (lair of the "daimyo" of the fallen legion).  The intruder was strangely similar in appearance to Elegy, its armor changing colors to provide camouflage.  In the darkness of the underworld, someone else was infiltrating the Fallen Legion, and wanting to do so quietly.<br/><br/>(Elegy, go ahead and roll Dex + Stealth with your specialty applying to hide from the cloaked scout.  You could also launch an attack, if you wish, though you'll still need to roll stealth to determine if you suprise your foe.)
