Finding the wheel

[Nephrite]

"Yes. That's exactly it. Their goals are only to fulfill whatever Asmodeus wants, which ultimately only strengthens their position in Hell. It doesn't... mm... ultimately, it just solidifies their own delusions that Hell will fulfill their needs, but it's just empty promises of power." Moore says.

To Jetina he raises his voice a bit. "Of course, always!"

[Anastasia]

Kaja calls, "We're catching up, woman!" he calls, speeding up. "We were having a conversation about manly things!"

Jetina rolls her eyes, "If you say so! Now come on!"

[Nephrite]

Moore laughs a bit as he moves along to catch up!

[Anastasia]

Gimme another d100.

[Nephrite]

You rise to Venya - and as you do, you find yourselves out of a familiar place. The lair of the Authority of Generosity is nearby, in spite of your course heading nowhere near it.

[Nephrite]

"I think we're being summoned." Moore says to the others. "This way." He gestures and flies towards the cave!

[Anastasia]

"What is it?" Cresiel asks as your companions follow.

"A cave," Kaja says dryly, "A dragon's cave. I can smell the gold. A golden dragon." Sniffing the air a few more times, leaning forward face first, "I can smell it and feel it."

[Nephrite]

"This is the lair of the Authority of Generosity." Moore explains to the others as he heads inside. "Maybe... hm. I can think of a few possibilities as to why we're here." At this, he raises his voice, "Sir Talinalinas! It's Moore! I'm coming in with some friends!"

[Anastasia]

Within you find the lair and the wealth, Kaja's attention sharpening visibly, posture ready.

Talinalinas sleeps here, eyes closed and snoring softly. His tail is coiled around a statue with sapphires in place of eyes, squeezing it enough to crack it. Sitting nearby is a creature with black hair and sharp features, as well as a spade tipped tail lashing about. He's wearing the color clothes of a performer, yet his face is marred by a scowl. "Don't bother," he says sourly, "Dragon doesn't want to wake up anytime soon."

[Nephrite]

Take 10 on K:P for 105 to identify this mysterious person!

EDIT: or if not identify them, perhaps identify their race or something!

[Anastasia]

The creature itself isn't noteworthy, but you do know a tiefling when you see it - someone with a fiend in their ancestory, usually 2-4 generations back, though it can be far further and manifest randomly in the bloodline.

[Nephrite]

"So, I'll introduce myself first. I'm Moore, Duke of Songs of Celestia. Do you mind explaining why you're here?" He asks -- it isn't a threat or anything like that, but he does sound curious!

[Anastasia]

"Cresiel," The solar introduced himself, letting that single word suffice. Then, "Jetina Jerara of Raziel. Kaja. Xandra." Each is introduced in time, as Kaja's gaze is focused all about the treasure, sniffing every few moments.

"I have need to talk to the Authority of Generosity," The tiefling says, "I'm Vale Aurin of Tower Aurin."

[Nephrite]

"Well, since he doesn't seem to be waking up soon and we're here... why don't you tell me what you need his help with?" Moore asks. "Please."

Take 10 for 90 on K:P, what the heck is Aurin?!
