The treasure house of Jaizin Kaa

[kabukiman]

"It came to my attention that Jaizin Kaa has buy a ring recently. A magical ring. But for some strange reason, instead of using it, he have guarded it in his treasure room. I need you to assault Jaizin house and steal it. Maybe he doesn't know the power it contains, maybe he want to use it latter, but the oportunity is to good to be wasted"

OOC All make a lore roll.

[Mr. Handy]

Something about the name sounds familiar to Servius. "I see. How much are you offering for the ring?" he asks.

[aine]

Lore, 13 roll: 16, 14

Tuya listens politely, while wondering what the magic might be.

[kabukiman]

Jaizin is a rich merchan AND a sorcerer. There are rumours that he made his money by doing pacts with daemons. Every thief dreams with robing his hous (actually a tower in the middle of the city) but nobody has succeded.

"I'm paying you 20 gold each of you, that's what we have been bargaining remember?"

[Mr. Handy]

"I thought that was the down payment," says Servius. "Surely the ring is worth more than that, not to mention the risk involved in robbing the tower. You know quite well how difficult that is. That should carry a premium."

[kabukiman]

"As I said, it is a magic ring that it is what my informer told said, and it makes sense that Jaizin would adquire, but the reason to put it in the treasure room is strange. About the price: It has cost more than 200 gold, but I don't have that money or I would have buy it myself, instead of paying you. But for you, that it is an advantage: you can steal anything you want I'm sure it should be full of gold and precious gems. The ring came from the south, from my homeland, Stygia. I don't know what are his powers, but if it is indeed magical, I will give it good use. Or maybe it need some ancient enchantment to activate it and without that it will be just a bauble."

[aine]

“In that case, for you to acquire the ring for just 60 pieces of gold will be a bargain!” Smiles Tuya.
“That will make it worth our while to bring you the ring rather than going to the bother of finding a higher bidder, don’t you think so, Servius?”

[Mr. Handy]

"Well, obviously we were going to keep all of the other treasure anyway," says Servius. "But we could just do that on our own, so you're not really giving us the rest of the treasure. We could simply sell the ring afterwards if we weren't working for you when we did it. So it's up to you what you think it's worth to you."

[kabukiman]

"Except everyone failed, and I have an information about a way to enter that nobody knows. It has risks, but at least nobody has ever tried, so it may work".

[aine]

“It does sound dangerous.” Says Tuya to Servius. “But maybe if we had some healing ointments and poison antidotes thrown into the deal then we could make it work.”

[Mr. Handy]

"Yes, that sounds like a good deal," says Servius.

[kabukiman]

He seems annoyed but finally says:
"Fine, I'l give you some potions. But if you fail, and stay alive, you will own me big. Do we have a deal then?"

[Mr. Handy]

"I'm game if you are," says Servius to Tuya.

[aine]

Tuya shrugs nonchalantly but inside she has butterflies.

[kabukiman]

"Everyone tried to enter in the house by the walls. Well, I have discovered that the is another way. There is a connection of the house with the sewers. I doubt it will be full of guards, even if Jaizin must have some defense included.

[Mr. Handy]

"Is there a map of the sewers?" asks Servius.

[kabukiman]

"There isn't a map. But something that is also useful: you see, the rigth passages to his house have marks. When you arrive at a crossroad, you must find the one with the marks and continue. There are several, so I hope you have very good eyes"

[aine]

“What do the marks look like?” Asks Tuya, thinking that she’ll be due a new pair of boots after this.

[Mr. Handy]

Servius nods, as she had asked the question on his mind. He is already mentally spending the fortune he hopes to gain from this job.

[kabukiman]

"They are some kind of strange writing, build a long time ago, when then primitive builders of this city create the sewer system. Nobody knows what people was that"
He shows you some strange glyphs you never saw before and then resumes:
"This are just some examples, there are probably much more, and I don't guarantee you will see this ones, but it gives you an idea of how they look".
