Alice rambles on and Master Edermath simply smiles. Doing his best to get through this awkward conversation.
...portals to the Underdark which Nezzer had created. I wonder why anyone would do this.
Edermath has no answer for this other than to recruit fodder for his minions.When Alice pulls out the head, he's visibly appalled.
In Eldaths name - Alice put your trophies away you are bothering Master Edermath!
Saved from a potentially embarrassing faux pas, Yulya steps in and reigns in her own minion before this becomes a public nuisance.>What kind of man was he Master Edermath?
>What could have been his goal in this mine?
>What is the Forge of Spells Master Edermath?
>does it make sense to you?
>Master Edermath what is your impression of Sir Sildar Hallwinter - if you have any?
>Other Ramblings and Gundren/Sildar shenanigans
Nya!
>Nyaa that druid from Triboar Nya what was his name again Nya?
>Alric Nya! Do you now him perhaps Nya?
>And what about the girls Nya? Why were they brought there Nya?
>Nezzer was weak Nyahaha I easily defeated him Nya so easily it was odd Nya. How was he the leader with such poor powers Nya?
[I feel bad that you parsed out all these questions but he isn't involved, he's mostly kept to himself in the last few hundred years, especially not interested in the mine or the mountains to the East except when that ship fell."The forge of Spells had many strange features, I am not an arcane master so I wouldn't know such things, but one thing it could do was enchant powerful weapons, legendary weapons were at one time forged there, off the top of my head The Sunblade was a rather potent sword used by those wishing to dispatch the undead. It was said that it could destroy undead simply by unsheathing it. Though such legends are often exaggerated."
When Yulya mentions the Spectator again he just smirks, "Who can know to what deranged state such a beast can reach?"
Sir Gundren brothers asked us to retrieve this as proof of clearing the mine. It appears to be some kind of - orb?
He asks to see it, and upon touching it he nods, "This is an oracle stone, or at least an inferior one or a shard of one, I suppose there's so much raw arcane energies in that cavern below where forge of spells was located that it condensed into this, I can't say it's not valuable, but it's not especially so considering it is just a shard of an oracle stone. I'm sorry but I couldn't possibly know what the Niben would want with it."
As for Elves - if I may say they do not grow on trees. We have not yet met an elf here let alone one who would join our party. But Summer of Leilon - I believe you are acquainted with her - will at least temporarily join us to subjugate that dragon.
He bristles, "I can't fathom her dealings here, though she is quite refined and that is refreshing in this part of Faerûn, I believe her when she mentioned she's some royal mage in training. Again I can't imagine why they waste such training on the young shemlen. Though..."
he leans in and whispers, "I saw a certain ring she was wearing, it looked fey, and when I asked about it she simply said it was a ring she acquired and she called it the 'Ring of Summer'. I daresay that ring didn't have that name originally, if you ask me, it was a ring
acquired from fey royalty. If I'm not wrong, such a ring is far above even royal means of acquisition,"
he straightens and looks around, "how that came to be on the hand of a shem, even a royal shem, is the biggest mystery of all. I can only imagine one of its abilities would be to extend life or youth, I can't then be sure how old this shemlen truly is."
When Yulya offers the whistle, he's genuinely thankful. "Very well, I'll place it in a safe location for now, we wouldn't want anyone interrupting us this afternoon."
Soon after he finishes his tea and bows out, "There's much to prepare, I'll be expecting you at 14:00 sharp."
You're left being the only ones in the tavern.[Interactions Required]
