A neverending field

[Corwin]

Seira comes in! Do the invisible cornugons?

[Anastasia]

They do not.

"Thanks," Amaryl says briskly, "We're here on business."

As you all get comfortable, plush chairs to sit on, "Of course. Are there any questions before I move you along?"

[Corwin]

"Do you have a map to Ferrum's Crown?" Seira asks, naming the one city she knows exists in the Tower from secondhand sources.

[Anastasia]

"I'm afraid not, but I do know the directions to it," he agrees.

[Corwin]

"Then those," Seira agrees in turn.

[Anastasia]

"I could part with it for 10,000 gold," He says agreeably, smiling.

[Corwin]

"Perhaps for an actual map, but paying more than five thousand for directions isn't worth my time," Seira responds.

[Anastasia]

Oh ho, bartering! I see. Gimme a quick Diplo check for all of this.

[Corwin]

Taking 10 for 93.

[Anastasia]

A long smile before he banters back, "Oh, I could let it go for a mere 8,500 gold," he offers back to you, openly.

"6,500," Amaryl fires right back after your volley.

"8,000."

"7,000."

The two exchange looks before, "7,500?" Gaggar offers, and Amaryl nods slightly.

[Corwin]

With a small smile, Seira retrieves the Brightwater golds to the negotiated amount.

Unless my mighty K:P/K:R checks of 120 tell me it's a bad idea, and then I'd use a more suitable currency that's not souls.

[Anastasia]

Dis is cosmopolitan here, a banker will gladly accept any valid currency and convert as needed. With the trading businesses Dis does, it's only expected.

Once the coins are passed over and put into a little drawer into his desk - far larger than it should be on the inside - Gaggar merely smiles, "You'll need to go in and head north on Toil Road, until you come on Kopala's Inn. Ask for Valjan-Red there and pay him to show you a path through the Steelpines, then hook back into Toil Road again - don't try and take it straight or you'll never get through the Steelpines. Follow the road again and take the second path westward, cross the Twinned Rivers by boat - do not attempt to fly over or swim the rivers - and travel on until you reach Ferrum's Crown. You'll need an offering to enter, preferably a soul but a sufficient magical item will do."

[Corwin]

"That works," Seira agrees.

[Anastasia]

"Then come with me," Gaggar says, and leads you deeper into the bank. Here a door of iron sits, "Here," Gaggar says, "Enter freely, but know that on the other side, the door will not open without ten minutes of waiting."

[Corwin]

Seira nods her understanding, opening the door and passing through it.

And also studying the magic she can see with greater arcane sight and true seeing! K:A 120, Spellcraft 120. In particular, I want to see what sort of magics exist for passive sensors/defenses, which magic prevents dimensional travel, and what sort of magic is weakened if any. If it's a whole different plan, K:P 120 to see the planar traits while I'm at it.
