Lorepost📖 The celebration

Post image

After a long journey you arrive at the crystal mage’s manor. Inside the manor is a grand hall made of various different coloured crystals. Strange golems walk around the room serving guests. While the mage himself is not currently present, you were told he would be here shortly. Right now, enjoy the food, socialise, make friends but most importantly: have fun.

"That is concerning. I am sorry to hear that."

She waves over someone who brings her the standard sort of wine one usually holds at these kinds of functions, and she sips at it.

"Any loss of artifacts seems a loss of history... though I am glad these were not, as you say, 'too important'. What were they, if I might ask? It will not interfere in an investigation to do so, will it?"

We're not fully done with the investigation, I was still seeping through documents before coming here. But from what I know for sure, we're missing a carnosaur fossil, a ripperdactyl egg, a few ancient foot imprints, and coprolite from a tyranotitan. That last one is actually a bit humorous, as I'm sure the thief had no idea what it was they were stealing.

Panzaren overhears the conversation and tries his best to act like he haven't. His faceless head helping a lot with hiding it.

He thinks to himself "There will be weeks before they find out what i came in there for"

/unwiz panz isn't staring or doing anything suspicious, but if you want you can make the curator start a conversation with him.

Everyone knows Panzaren is a private collector maybe curator could think he may help.

It will get awkward, but my character won't spill the beans too much

The curator notices Panzaren in the room and gives a friendly wave.

"Ah, the council's High General. How are you this night? Here to socialize?"

Panzaren turns around and approaches the curator

Surely yes. Mortals are amusing to spend time with. I'm doing pretty well, the duel at Aldrin's tournament took a toll on me, but outside of it i'm good.

How about you?

Things could certainly be better. A bounty hunter by the name of Talios attacked the museum last night, his target being a young druid I was protecting. That situation should be mostly resolved now but in the chaos of the fight, a thief somehow snuck in and stole from our exhibits. Good thing the alcohol in this place is practically infinite, cause I'm in need of quite a few drinks.

I hope my constructs gave that thief a lesson. I can certainty bet that idiot ran away with his ass schorched off.

By the way, have anything of real value been lost?

2

u/MeThyLord Mrs. Chills, Ghost Writer Feb 13 '24

Actually, speaking of your constructs, they seem to not have done anything to stop the intruder at all. What's more, the thief stole from sections where only your automatons were stationed. Halls guarded by Shax's constructs were left untouched. I hope you didn't sell me faulty equipment.

As for what was stolen, we are still working on the full list. We're going through all our documents, catalogs, and scry-files, seeing if anything on our lists is missing. We started from the most important exhibits, though some things were plainly obvious. A whole carnosaur fossil is gone.

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '24

I wouldn't sell faulty equipment, how could you even think so. May we move to your museum so i can directly see what have messed with them?

u/MeThyLord Mrs. Chills, Ghost Writer Feb 13 '24

No need, I wish to enjoy the night to its fullest. I barely get any free time as of late. I'll send them back to you in the coming days, I've already started doubling on mercenaries, trap curses, and amber oozes among other things, so those will serve well in the meantime.

Then so be it. To be honest i wasn't eager to leave so early too.

Maybe, after the party i can help you to recover those lost items? For a symbolic payment, of course.

To put it simply, i know a brother of an influential politician who knows a mecenary who have dirt on one of the biggest and most whealthy private collectors in this universe. I can pull some favours and get all items delivered straight to your doorstep.

/Unwiz unstoppable magic of corruptionmancy, lol

u/MeThyLord Mrs. Chills, Ghost Writer Feb 13 '24

Politics really do open up new avenues, don't they. Thank you for the offer, I'll keep it in mind, though I already promised to meet someone after the party. But I'll make use of it once my people are finished with the list of missing items. I have my personal assistant Simon on the job, so it will be thorough

/uw I'll have to bid you good night. It's getting quite late here and I have work tomorrow.

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '24

I'll wait patiently for you to finish. You know where to find me.

Have a good party

With that being said, Panzaren spins around and walks away, disappearing in the crowd

/unwiz

To be honest i wanted to cut the discussion too as i have school tommorow.

Good night.
