!!!! (Surraruthru, 88 days left)

[Iron Dragoon]

"Indeed. Some brief research leads me to believe that while the gold is plentiful, the Beastlands are a massive place and finding non-destructive ways of getting the gold would require a significant time investment. I certainly plan to retrieve the gold at some point, but I don't want to get stuck investing too much time in it right now since we've got a deadline. Any other leads?"

[Anastasia]

"Yeah. So one day I was chasing down some information in Dweomerheart. So you know that's where all of Mystra's servants go when they cast their final spell and go kaput. Anyway, I hear there's dungeons there. The sort of things used for testing all sorts of arcanery, and that if you know the right people, can go in there to 'test' them, and if you survive, come out with the treasure you take." Tannin remarks, "Keyword is the survive part."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm.. That certainly appeals to me... A dungeon specifically built to test magic. I almost can't let such a challenge stand... Very well, this one is very likely. Research first, of course. Thank you again, Tannin. Would you be interested in going?"

[Anastasia]

"Nah, my role in this is going o be getting information, not spending money or fighting," Tannin remarks, "Get some people who can do more with it."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Thank you again, then."

With that, Surraruthru heads off to the library to do research on these dungeons and make preparations.

[Anastasia]

K:P check, add the library bonus.

[Iron Dragoon]

Messed up on my phone above. Add +15 library bonus for a total of 64.

[Anastasia]

You find a few references to them. It sounds legitimate, but the trick is knowing the right people and then surviving once you get access. They're vastly varied, as you'd expect from the handiwork of wizards, so there's little advice to give beyond now how to deal with magic.

[Iron Dragoon]

Anything on who the right people to know are? Clerics of Mystra or something?

[Anastasia]

Mystra's servants and clergy are the way to go, though it'll probably take some digging.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru decides to consult with some of the other mages and see if anyone else wants to go before he gets too deep into the investigation.

Not sure who'd be a good candidate for this, honestly. Most everyone does magic to some degree.

[Anastasia]

That's a really good question. Any preferences?

[Iron Dragoon]

Uh, Sylvie... Kascha would find it interesting I suppose. Vivantha since Lillends live in that weird labyrinth/dungeon place. Balyss maybe? Dunno if she's interested, but we need a healer type. Dana? I dunno, someone tanky? That gives us me for buffing/blasting,
Kascha for Blasting/Utility, Vivantha for buffs, a tank/dps, and a healer/dps. I'm open to suggestions?

[Anastasia]

Vivantha's busy with Muirfinn stuff. Kascha's available. Balyss is not due to responsibilities here. Dana's available.
