Then next morning I awoke at dawn with my plan set in place I would head to the Pantheon Temple of the Seldarine for I had a High Priest of Corellon Larethian and his quite attractive daughter to see. Quite the beautiful apprentice if I do say so myself and to be honest I knew I would find it truly hard to keep my mind on the matters at hand after I had arrived. But then again I was one of the fortunate ones really and a former member of the Seldarine Espionage Division. A former Artuliak or Lieutenant actually in the common tongue but I had already done my active four years of service and let us just say the rest is classified and leave it at that for now.
I arrived at the Pantheon and noticed that I of course had already been replaced but that also meant that the person sitting at the desk was none other than to my good fortune Caspia. I was thankful that she was able to slip away for a little break for using our own personal language to fill out my report was a much more enjoyable endeavor than having to write it all down. Caspia had told me that she had heard of the strange events happening around the Temples of Selene and Mystra and had obviously hoped that I was not involved.
I reality I was able to and I of course held nothing back from Caspia as we each had memorized spells to read each other’s thoughts which was a requirement of Savaras of course. Where Savaras was at the time was anyone’s guess but we still had a job to do and in the end our efforts were to aid the Seldarine well that and increase our own power of course. I wish things could have as smoothly for the rest of the day but alas I still had to make a report and requisition supplies for the coming mission.
Well perhaps it’s a good thing I am in reality a noble of rank but sadly not privilege as that was a right I had given up when I left Evermeet so many decades before. Suffice to say I had to deal with everything I needed being marked up in price as for the moment it had literally nothing to do directly with the fate of the Seldarine. So while I had budgeted for a number of impressive items to bring along I had to forgo the Mobile Brace, Drogue Wing and the Crystal Caltrops I almost had to forgo the magical Longsword but in the end the over two thousand gold I had hoped to keep in reserve was spend and I was once again as we shall say broke. Easy come easy go as Caspia was fond of saying which she would follow up with if you can’t take it easy then take it any way you can.
So I would return to the Safe Haven Inn by the afternoon with the plan to learn Shocking Grasp from the scrolls I had picked up along with a few books on elemental magic that Arrol had requested I pick up with funds he believed I still was in possession of. I will admit I was not in the best of moods as the Wand of Cure Light Wounds, Wand of Magic Missile and the magical Longsword had literally left me after all was said and done around one hundred and thirty gold pieces of which ten of which I knew would be going to Hollyella Taletreader as I knew there was no way that Caspia would risk being seen by any of the Associates. She honestly had shared with me to watch them all and to consider them all lower than the snakes in the grass and to survive at all costs and return to her. As it was my choice for my new spell would change to Life Bolt. For as Donavan had mentioned that we would be facing Undead and that he felt the spell might very well come in handy.
Also for the record Arrol once again after a day sabbatical away from magic failed to learn the spell he was attempting while it was simple for me to learn Life Bolt. To be honest I truly felt it might be easier to command the undead then try and kill them at first but then again the life bolt could be cast in to the midst of my allies if necessary and not harm them. I was also a good way to tell if someone you were talking to was undead.
I know what some might be thinking my last night before what had so far sounded like a death mission and I was spending some of my limited resources on a Moon Elf Bard. Well of course I was lets be serious just because the Associates were a bunch of stuck up pompous fools I was one laid back Sun Elf and worshiper of Erevan Ilesere who knew how to party.
