You are summoned to the main court in the research wing of the guild. an unusual even as most tasks and offers are provided behind closed doors. but sits the council. the most dedicated scientists in there fields. the go un named and in silence through the guild. they watch you scrutinizing you as you stride past to a large table. some seated but enough open seats for your party.
a familiarize face sits across from you. chancellor _________ who unlike before is smiling. a small boy nearby looks over and almost speaks but holds his toung as he as is simply a page right now but he bows as he gathers up some books and leaves. (if they were in the last campaign they will know the boy as rohod.)
Chancellor motions you to make yourselves comfortable. theirs wine on the table before you. "Please have a seat my friends." he was far more talkative since the last time you saw him. almost as if he actually likes you all now. "Im sure your wondering why you all are brought here. " he pauses a moment as if waiting for a guess or two. "You have shown great promiss. and although i was upset with you all for not keeping touch with me on the last mission i understand other dimensions can hinder such actions. for rookies you all faired extremely well and brought me back the most eager and intelligent pages iv ever had. even if he does give me some lip from time to time. " he tapped his finger tips together. though his expression was now drawing more serious. "With the skills you have shown and humanity what with bringing the boy back we have determined you are the likely the perfect team needed for the next mission we have lined up. though it will be tuff and were not sure what all to expect i promise you this mission will not only further scientific studies but may in fact save lives and help to further the community as a hole."
One of the white robes nearby nods to you all. "Please say you will do it?" they said having not even said what the mission was just yet.
~~~~~~~~~ If not questioned they are sent off to another chamber high atop a tower for the details.~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~If questioned use fallowing dialog.~~~~~~~~ "What is your mission?... to be honest. Were not sure. we have been made aware that a band of fearless yet heartfelt adventurers would be needed for it. but we can not even guide you unless you accept. those were the rules presented to us. I promise if you succeed and this pays off as it has been hinted you will be handsomely rewarded."
~~~~~If pestered further. ~~~~~~ "Im sorry but i can not say any more. i truly must have you accept or decline and then take action pending on your answer."
~~~~~~If they decline~~~~~~~ As you are shooed out of the chamber the chancellor going back to his old grumpy self. "Then we have no time to talk further. please leave." the door suddenly opens someone coming in. a halfling with an upset look on her face dressed in the priests robes and scarier then the men in the room put together. "Chancellor did they accept already iv been in the hall for five minutes and i do not have time to waste." it was one of the high priests of the guild. a member of house (durasko?) "Never mind." She snapped after a moment of gawking from the robed men in the chamber. "You all come with me. I have a job you. you were first recommended therefor your the best for this job given the circumstances. and she specificly requested to speak with you. " (the players will have no choice as this is a direct order.)
~~~~~~~~~If they accept~~~~~~~ "Excellent. Excellent. come the high priest is waiting for you." the chancellor says getting up and show them to the door. as the door opens you see a halfling dressed in white and show the guild colors on her robes. she paces back and forth until the chancellor clears his throat. the bright eyes raise to look at the party and she smiles. "Oh goodie goodie. did they accept. oh well it matters not i just dident want them to think they were being forced into this. Come come with me." she said before she turners and trotts off down the hallway fast for a halfling as you must keep a good pace just to keep up with her. "My name is Priestess Maribell Tallleaf. And you all are?" (she already knew them by name as she knew who to request however she did not know which one was which. )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She leads you up to the top of the north tower over looking the river. they soon found themselves in a large lavish rom. lots of fabric draped about. and the over powering smell of lavender coming from sensors and candles and even the plants themselves growing in hanging baskets. there was no furniture though in the room. just windows almost all the way around and a few cushions in the corners mostly for decorations. and a large bid cage full of canaries. the most unusual feature though stood in the middle of the room.
a golden frame spiraling up to support a lavish golden breast plate over an ivory robe and supporting a matching helm with a large white plume of feathers out the top. sapphires hanging from different appointments just as decoration.
