    Might not be valid for you, but Hagan's shop in the Plaza sells psychic reformation power stones at 90% market price. You pay your own XP costs.

    Hmmm, I was smart enough to pick the feat up with a flaw. So that would be 8 levels of reformation. Reverting back to when I was born!!

    So that would be 400 xp and 70 gp?

    And basicly allows me to repick all my feats, powers and skills? I think I'll do that. Even though powers and skills will have just some minor alterations.

    Dealing with him is always an RP endeavor. It's up to Mono if you're allowed to go to the shop or not. I don't really know what he's doing with Aldhaven these days.

    In general if Rizban is fully back you can also consider buying items at Hagans. I had stirred you of it when the game was mostly retired as I didnt want to mess with Hagan as a character when Rizban wasnt around.

    So on the reformation part I have no clue how it would 'work' so lets see what he says.



    "Well... the store is a few blocks from here where Mage Quarter and Old Town meet. His name is Donahues and he has a pretty significant share value on potions... he specialises on them as he says but he also sells normal magical items. My info is that he expects a shipment of the material he needs today between 12 and 5... so you will need to intercept that shipment and disappear with it or whatever you want to do. Obviously you shouldnt do it just outside his door so make sure you dont miss it!" he tells you.

    "As for whats inside... raw materials probably along with some items his customers might have ordered... The point here isnt financial... its the delay he will have in production and time and face he will lose towards his customers."

    Well Riz, with Plans we had used Hagan as an NPC only a couple of times and kept him 'on reserve'. I dont think we have changed any major things in the background but I will send you a PM with some plotlines that have been explored since the game was retired... I dont think we would have any issue merging them once again ;)

    So yea, Moranica, feel free to head to Hagans store... I believe you had ICly been there before as well so your character knows about it and his discounts... just keep in mind that those discounts come at a cost of timing... so before you get the items you will need to wait as long as Rizban says it takes Hagan to prepare them...

    No problem. The reformation isn't needed really. Just noticed I have some things that I don't use. I will go there after the interrogation and such.

    Okiedok!

    By the way you gain the following XP:

    150 for the Merchant
    400 for the Pelorite
    1200 for the Taskmaster
    Another 500 XP for your progress with this plot (Might give something additional depending on how the interrogation goes)

    The man gives you the cash and the brand new ring.

    It doesnt take you long to navigate from your current location to near the store. There isnt a clear distinction of where one quarter ends and another begins but you can tell that slowly, over the span of a few streets, the stores and the people just look nicer and more well taken care of.

    There are though two gated arches that provide a bit more formal boundary given their old stone and archaic inscriptions. You can easily tell that those were part of the Old Aldhaven wall that was torn down to expand the city more than two centuries ago.

    The particular store is located at the corner of Merchant Lane and Duke Regis street and you see that the store front is quite artful with depections of boiling cauldrons and smoking potion bottles. There is also a back entrance that is reached by a narrow alleyway without name and also shared by two more stores.

    The easiest way for someone to get here would be directly from the east and following two backstreets that expand between the two Quarters. One of the streets is very cramped, with only a handful of working stores and a press of bodies as you nagivate it. The other is wide enough to fit a cart and has mostly clothing stores along its length.

    After changing into one of his human childlike forms, Scribly sends his psicrystal to stake out the cramped route, preferably from one of the roofs, with orders to warn him if anything resembling the shipment comes by, while Scribly himself heads to the beginning of the wider street.

    How many hours before possible shipment?
    And did he also manage a way to recognise it?

    Four hours pass before you get an urgent tag in your mind from your crystal. Its still around 4 in the afternoon so that fits when the man told you it would be transported.

    It relays to you that two humans with some form of flying disc are passing from that narrow alley. On the disk there are two chest-sized crates.

    Scribly closes in (to within 75 ft) and uses implanted suggestion on both of them, twice in rapid succession. Both times the message is.

    Small correction. You have to be within 45 feet to cast this. Implanted Suggestion has range 25+5/2 levels...

    Just confirming you want to go ahead with it as if for whatever reason one or both resist you would be within their charge range.

    Both targets stop on their tracks. They exchange quiet words and look around as if confused at what they are doing in this area and then they turn back the way they came, pulling the disc with them.

    When was the last time Scribly was there?

    Meaning if you dont have IC knowledge then you need a knowledge local or gather info (remember its 1d4+1 hours for that)



    You follow them easily up until you reach the Rivergate. It takes more or less an hour to reach it given the slow progress the group makes due to the speed of the disc. There is a bridge here that stretches over the river and connects the city with the Fortress that is located on an island in the middle of the river. The bridge also continues past the Fortress towards the Dock gate. Beyond the docks are the Slums and your victims are heading that way.

    Just before the Dock gate, no less than 18 heavily armed guardsmen stop the two men. There is some traffic between rivergate and fortress but the stretch of the bridge towards the docks is much emptier. Listening to the conversation between your targets and the guards would require you approach quite closely.

    What you understand from the body language is that the guards are trying not so much to stop but advise the two porters against going further. They fail though and with a shrug they move aside, open the gate and let the two men and the disc pass inside into the docks.

    He doesnt doubt what you are saying but he looks concerned.

    "Well sir, I dont know how long it has been since you visited her..." he says as if making a point "... but the situation in the Docks and the Slums more or less has deteriorated with open gang violence ever present in the street... as such I would strongly advise bring your mother to the city proper if possible and avoid going there..." he concludes.

    "But if you want to go on and through the Docks... well your mam better not come to us asking where you disappeared..."

    The guard shrugs and lets you pass. Once more the gate is opened and you are let into the docks.

    The scene is indeed fairly grim. The late afternoon sun casts its light on deserted roads and empty piers. Very few individuals are seen walking about with lowered heads and moving quickly to their destination. Windows are closed and shuttered and there is no guardsman in sight.

    What you do see though, almost 500 meters from the gate, near pier 4, the two men and their cargo having been stopped by a group of 6 hobgoblins.

    The hobgoblins begin with a threatening but non aggressive demeanor. As it becomes apparent though that the two carriers are not willing to relinquish their cargo they become hostile.

    A few seconds later and loud yelling comes from the group and hands reach for weapons.
