Scribe Notes

Duesday 18th Vintage 823wk

A courier races from Seagate to the Guild well paid to follow odd instructions. Arriving at the gates he asks for someone to accept a message on behalf of the guild, the gate guards call for an officer who calls for a senior Namer. After due precautions the officer declares she will accept the message, as the courier stretches out his hand as if in delivery he is surprised to see a fine scroll case appear in it. After an awkward 10 second pause, the officer receives a subtle signal and accepts the scroll, she says it is to be opened by one of the guild members summoned to a tower two years ago, she knows them and will track one down. Looking relieved, the courier leaves, enjoying a nice pie from the Halfling vendor near the gate. A couple of hours later the Namer's report states the officer is unharmed but unknown mind magic planted a 'meme' in her mind. The scroll case has an inherent and nasty doom on anyone except one of five specific people who opens it.

A week later, one of the 5 is tracked down and under supervision the case is opened, contents divined and letter read.

To the adventuring mercenaries who rendered service 279 days ago,
I require field agents capable of surviving investigation into confidential matters on other worlds
that are pertinent to the continued stability and potentially existence of Alusia.
You will be recompensed for your service.
You should bring a learned scholar who can understand complex matters for you.
The door to accept this offer shall remain open for another 9 days then I shall seek other agents.
- M. G.

An astrology reading was done on the intentions and good will of this potential employer. The Astrologer reported a clear High Elven answer in condescending tones which he did not appreciate "Yes, of course this is genuine. Stop wasting time."

Locations

• Kirkyl Ogre Plane. Marindel claims they're part of the Sworld World Federation, their gods are dead and the Calimar use the Ogres as elite ground troops. High rank warriors & MilSci, decent weapons & armour, not much shaping, advanced Alchemy (much better than ours), 'cauldron magic' & potions instead of investeds. Ogre-Magi competent in colleges (Namer, Mind, E&E, Celestial, Earth, ...?) and using potioned spells from each other. Honourable in their own way. Use Orcs and Goblins as archers and auxiliaries. Didn't appear to recognise Dwarves, Humans, or Elves but knew of Devils/Demons and didn't like them. At least 3 mages, officers and a dozen warriors escaped to Tac. Likely to be healing and regrouping to try again somehow.
