Part 1: Morals or Wealth?

As Sorako returns to the Cinderblock cellar the dank smells assault him once again. Inside he finds broken wine bottles, broken furniture, and rat nestings. Searching behind what was previously a bar Sorako notices a small out of place and new looking lever.

Ayre'din watches the smile grow on Bano's face. "It just so happens that I have an opportunity to introduce you to the Master. He has a lavish affair planned for tomorrow! I could not possibly get someone such as you on the invite list unless......" Bano's grin turns sly and develish, "well unless you want to go as a preformer. Of course you must understand that I," Bano fakes distress "Have such limited funds that are tied up in other ventures. You would have to do this for free as my gift to the Master for my own invite. What do you say?"

As Kevba walks through the streets following the robed figure he passes many strange sights and smells. Cooked spiker fish being hawked by men in turbans, filthy orphan gangs stealing from merchants and being chased by guards, and strange numenera devices displayed in store windows. Eventually the streets turn from mud to rough cobble. Passing into even more prosperous parts of the city the streets turn into well fitted brick. The robed man eventually notices the strange man following him. Make a speed roll difficulty 4 to keep up.

Kleas Make an intellect roll to see who you spot.

(Ooc: Sorako is female!)

Am I really going to do anything other than pull the lever?

I pull the lever, tensing to act for anything untoward.

Sorako pulls the lever and a rumble of stone on stone for a few seconds produces a small tunnel down into the earth. The tunnel proves to shrink until Sorako can no longer stand, and begins to crawl. After a few hundred yards the tunnel splits into two. The tunnel to the left is blocked by rusted iorn bars. The tunnel to the right has the sound of music drifting down it. Make a might check level 4 to proceed down the tunnel to the left. Make a speed check level 3 if you proceed down the right.

[b]Kevba[b] Unable to pick up the find the robed man Kevba begins to search for his trail. While looking down at the rode he bumps into something hard. Looking up he finds himself face to face with a pair of Angligan Knights. The bigger one begins, "Excuse you sir! You seem to have lost your way." The smaller one in the back laughs, "Out of the Asylum I'd say." The two knights dress is red cloaks with a golden breastplate. They each carry a heavy spear with a gilded silver tip. The bigger of the two continues, "I'm John and this is Briar, you had better come with us." With a sudden clarity Kevba realizes that tre Angligan Knights are somehow connected to the robed figure.

Kleas Notices a small humanoid in a green scale like robe. Standing just four foot tall, his mismatched yellow and pink slit eyes seem to bore in to Kleas' skull. A small voice in his head whispers Come with me. Meet the Slitican. He has need of your services. Your friend Illisan has recommended you. With that the creature walks down a filthy alley. Following him Kleas sees him disappear down a dank hold.

Ayre'din is escorted to a lovely estate on the west side of Aian by two burly men belonging to Bano. Upon arrival Ayre'din can see why it is called the marble hall. Rows of columns, numerous fountains, rooms, benches, everything made of marble. Make a speed roll level 5 to see how well you perform. After the performance you are wisked to a side room where you meet a bleach white woman sitting on a marble chair, very reminiscent of a throne. "I heard a dancer wanted a word with me. Come now, what is it?"
