Quest Log: Suit Up!

[modforged]

What: You have been given a quest to infiltrate Sin'thalas and rescue your fellow dragonsworn. Also discussion of scrying orbs.
Where: The sanctums.
When: May 4th and ongoing for a week.
Warnings: Please PM the mods if needed.


Despite the chaos surrounding the disappearances of several Dragonsworn, your sanctum's dragon mage is trying to be calm about this. After a brief discussion behind the scenes with the others, he or she has returned.

"Gather 'round, I have some grave news. Several Dragonsworn have gone missing. We found them, but we are unable to rescue them by ourselves. It would look very bad if dragons were to attack a settlement. That is why we are asking you for help.

"Southeast of Suramar is a village named Sin'thalas. It is these elves who have taken and imprisoned the Dragonsworn. Whether you negotiate or use force to ensure the return of your brethren, it will not be easy. These elves are highly-trained and knowledgeable, far from the refugees you may have seen in the Retreat.

"In light of this, we have implemented a system to communicate over great distances." The dragon mage unveils a magical orb nearby, the perfect size for gazing. "This is a scrying orb. Approach it and think of Sin'thalas, and you will be seen and heard from the orb at that location. It also works in reverse. This should allow us to coordinate our movements depending on the flow of the situation.

"I urge you to think carefully about how best to retrieve your fellow Dragonsworn. You are yet a small force and highly outnumbered. We cannot afford to lose any of you."

[ooc: If characters want to use the orbs, lookingformore is now OPEN. Remember, orbs CANNOT connect from sanctum to sanctum!]

The ability causes Quinn to grin a bit wryly -- she once spent months tracking down someone with a very similar ability. Valor immediately perks up and hops toward Nepeta to try and get a closer look, cawing and scratching at the ground to alert his companion that there was still someone there.

"Works for me," Quinn offers, nodding. Valor, however, continues to try and hassle Nepeta out of hiding. "C'mon Val, leave her alone."

Giggling, she deactivates it and grins down at Valor. "Little beakbeast doesn't like having a hidden kitty around. Not that I blame him."

She bares her fangs in a grin, then turns back to Quinn. "So are we going now? Or is there anything you need to do first?"

"The sooner the better," she replies, holding out her arm until Valor takes the hint and flutters up to her gauntlet. "In case we aren't all on the same page here."

She reaches up to rub under the eagle's beak. "I'm Quinn, and this is Valor. We can get to know each other on the way."

"I'm Nepeta Leijon. Let's get going." Even as she says that she's dropped down to a crouch and is beginning to move in the direction of the city, looking very much like a great cat on the prowl. "We'll let the others keep discussing how they'll talk to the elves."
