Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
Will you reveal you were led to him by fate in the note? will you reveal your goal? who will you say you are?

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
Well my preference is to use Memetics! to craft a note that is enticing without saying anything, but I suppose V may have a different opinion.

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
By all means, be my guest. Vassarious is curious as to what Halcyone comes up with and is content to let them take the lead.

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
That's a bare success... Halcyone expresses a bit more than causal interest in his visit, and tells which table to find them at in the morning. The two of them ask the keeper about lodging. The place is the only one open this late at night. You're able to arrange for a single room.
In the morning the man comes down the stairs into the room that takes up the entire first floor and serves as the dining room (this is room and board, of course). He is wearing his crown, rings, armor, and sword, and has a stern face like he's about to run his sword through someone. He slaps a green talisman on the table without sitting down and says "Swear by the use of your right hands you are not agents of Bel."

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
Vassarious so swears... though they are amused by the thought that shapeshifting and having multiple extra arms may render to oath more toothless than the stranger may believe.

"My objective is a diamond he has embedded in his scepter. It is the largest in the world. I collect such things, and he is ripe to fall. My name is Yi Belan, treasure hunter. I seek an end to the Tyrant, and possession of his finest jewels." You get the sense that this is not the whole story, but that its at the very least true: that he really wants the diamond, and badly enough to brave the ire of the Tyrant. "I have been searching among exiled witches of Bel's kingdom, looking for someone hostile to him and who might have the power and connection to uncover his weakness." "You probably knew most of that. Why do you wish to speak to me?"

"We care not for riches, but simply follow the path fate has laid out for us. We are told it is our destiny is intertwined with your own, and will lead us to the downfall of a tyrant. My name is Vassarious, and I ask for nothing for the aid I will give your quest... save for the rest of the truth of this story."
