Onwards

[Nephrite]

And yes he'd Spellcraft for 76 on it to make sure it isn't going to kill him.

[Anastasia]

It stirs a memory: Razalim, seen on Akil bin Faheem's belt when you met him. He's using it as a sigil.

[Nephrite]

and I assume the letter is not going to kill me.

Moore will open it!

[Anastasia]

It reads simply as follows.

I am interesting in meeting with you about the war. A matter of mutual interest can be discussed between us. If you are interested, contact Shining Coin Brigara in Brightwater, she has been paid to act as a neutral go between.

[Nephrite]

"Does Lord Erathaol know about this already?" Moore asks.

[Anastasia]

"I was waiting on you, Moore," Grias says, "No one else knows yet."

[Nephrite]

Moore shakes his head. "Even if I see no issue with this, I can't just go by myself without asking."

With that, Moore says a quick prayer to Erathaol.

'Lord Erathaol, I am in receipt of a correspondence from Akil bin Fahreem.' Is all he says!

[Anastasia]

The answer is spoken in a soft voice.

"Go and discreetly inquire to what he desires and why. Do not commit to anything but allow him to say what he wishes."

[Nephrite]

Moore goes to gather the others!

[Anastasia]

You get them together and...

Go ahead.

[Nephrite]

He shows them the letter!

"I intend to at least find out what it is this is about. I don't know if any of you are welcome, as it did not say... Opinions? I think sending all of us is too much, but I think it's reasonable to expect I'd bring one person." He says.

[Anastasia]

Kaja reads it first, Jetina looking over his shoulder. He scowls as she says, "Do you think it's something sincere or a trap?"

Cresiel gets it next while Xandra glances after. "Who can say? I suggest using the utmost caution, but a back channel during a war is far from unheard of."

[Nephrite]

"We can't expect anything. I don't know why it's been sent to me and not someone else — there could be meaning in that as well." A shake of his head. "I will wait an hour until my magic is back to normal and then go. I think bringing one of you makes sense. If that proves to be a problem... we'll deal with it. Fair?"

[Anastasia]

Nods all around as...

Who are you taking?

Sorry about the delay, stupid RL stuff.

[Nephrite]

Cresiel is the obvious choice. Lets have him use invisibility on himself so rank and file folks don't see him and go from there.
