Re: Heartsglade
Zarmatan looks at the group, listening to the tale of the dwarf-turned-dragonling. Even the elf, Kalthranath listened in silence. When Yacob was finished with the tale, Zarmatan looked at Kell, then Kalthranath with raised eyebrows. The elf sighed and was the first to speak.
"What council you had from the lady of waterdeep was wise...I have known Zarmatan a very long time, despite him being human and myself an elf - but he will go over that. The stone of life is indeed here..." He indicated the stone on the top of his staff.
"I found the stone a long time ago, when i was a little younger than you Nym. I was but a humble cleric then. I didn't fully know what i had, but knew it was special. When i spent time with it, i realised it's power was close to my heart - one that wanted to heal the sick and injured."
"It was a few months later when The mistress in red and Zarmatan found me....within hours of each other. The mistress and her minions had cornered me, and i had used all my skills to hide from her. It was then that Zarmatan came and saved me."
Zarmatan chimed in. "No need for your life story Kalthranath!" He shook his head, but even then Kalthranath smiled at him. "To answer your question Yacob, yes I know some things of teh stnes, and who follows you, but if you want to know what it is, you need to understand."
He placed his hand s on the table, leaning forward. "You want the full story, and your all in....the whole hog! The bitch queen and her cronies will hunt you down and kill you on the spot. Your life will be dedicated to these items. Now is the time to turnback, because if you don't, you will face peril, danger, death and destruction at every turn....But you survive, and you will have save existance itself, and be privy to a power that even Elminster can't fathom. You will have power, and a tale of the ages, but it will cost you all."
