Finding the wheel

[Nephrite]

OK!

Moore moves on to the next!

[Anastasia]

This letter reads as follows.

Duke Moore, thank you for your visit. I look forward to meeting you another time. I'm currently busy with a matter of some importance, so it will not be immediate.

Signed,

The Authority of Life.

[Nephrite]

How nice of him!

Moore moves on to the next!

[Anastasia]

The third and last reads as follows.

You are cordially invited to Glimmerspire Keep as a guest of Archomental Crystal. Glimmerspire Keep is a university that studies the finest arts of magic related to earth and minerals. As a guest you will be permitted to study there and read much of the lore enclosed within. You may bring up to two companions with you. If you choose to accept this invitation, keep this letter and bring it with you, as it will serve as your ticket of admittance.

Amethyst, Servant of Lord Crystalle.

[Nephrite]

"What a pleasant surprise." Moore says. "Hmm... I wonder who'd want to go... Ah, of course." He nods to himself afterwards.

For the time being, he places the small tear on his belt and goes to go check on his Goblin and Marid friend to see if they're getting along!

[Anastasia]

You find them in a room in the back, in front of various stacks and barrels of goods, "...20 silver per?" Is what you hear as you come in.

[Nephrite]

"Gentlemen." Moore says as he approaches them. "I'm glad to see you both getting along nicely. I wanted to see how things were going and if you two needed my intervention to get anything started here."

[Anastasia]

Trader turns, "Nothing needed, we're assessing and planning right now."

The goblin next to him just adds in, "Time is what we need, trade is not fast."

[Nephrite]

"Of course." Moore nods. "I'll leave you both to it and wait to hear back from you." A smile and a nod after that.

Let's go see if Jetina and Xandra want to go to Glimmerspire Keep.

[Anastasia]

Getting them together is easy enough. When you mention it, "Glimmerspire?" Xandra asks, "They're quite elite and admit few non residents of Mineral. Crystalle gave you an invitation?"

[Nephrite]

Moore shows the letter to Xandra at her question.

"It seems like we have some downtime at the moment, so I thought it might be a good time for us to go. I thought they may have some unique spells on protection too, which is why I thought to bring you along, Jetina." Moore explains.

"I was surprised to get this letter, I wonder if there's something there that Crystalle wants us to see. It does seem to come out of nowhere." He adds.

[Anastasia]

As Xandra reads the letter, Jetina says, "We are still waiting on word about that efreet summit."

Xandra looks up, "So we are. An inquiry to the decisions on that isn't out of line, Moore. Cresiel could do so for you."

[Nephrite]

"You're right. That's why I was thinking now would be a good time, since we can't be sure how long it'll take." Moore says. "I did also hear from Melia that there may be a bounty on my head over all of this, which would be... amusing, if nothing else."

A nod to Xandra afterwards. "Let's have Cresiel investigate and then we can go to Glimmerspire. It wouldn't be difficult for us to leave to go to the summit if we needed to, unless you think we should just postpone the visit entirely until afterwards?" Moore asks. "I can see wisdom in both sides, really."

[Anastasia]

"Let's find out first, it shouldn't take Cresiel long," Xandra suggests.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods and goes to find Cresiel to ask!
