In reply to Devereaux (msg # 462):

"Because it was in our interests to consult the wizards tower...we have been hired to stop those behind the thefts and other nefarious activities."

"Thefts? What thefts?  Speak softly of such things, as they are bad for business!  And Which wizard's tower? The Mageguild?"

In reply to Money Changer (msg # 464):

"Yes, the Mageguild. Happy not to mention the nefarious activities, as long as we can track down those involved and their tools so we can end them..."

"Mancini, explain to Devereaux what this is all about!"

Ardenas continues looking for a good way up to the roof, along with Oly.

OOC: Oly?  You there?

O course, juz quied

(Ooc: Did I miss something or is Aoife just bluffing and hoping to fool these shady (other) guild people?)

OCC As far as I can tell, she is attempting to create a distraction, and so far Devereaux and Calvin are distracted, although the guards might not be...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 470):

Though if the distraction has a chance of them allowing us to do what we came for, all the better.

Jolinda waits, observing events but remaining quiet.

In reply to Jolinda (msg # 472):

"Hey where did the ugly guy, the monk, and the guy with the ladder go?
I am going to check around back!"

In reply to merchants guild guard (msg # 473):

If Aoife successful in convincing them that replacing the tile is necessary?

In reply to Aoife (msg # 474):

please make a fast talk roll

In reply to Narrator (msg # 475):

Aoife is not much of a fast talker, but she is smart...

IQ-5... not bad! the believe that the tiles are suspect and that your team is right for the job!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 477):

Lovely! So we can get them removed then! Nice to get an important roll on our side for a change!

up on his ladder
" These tiles look new, should I take em out?"

Despite herself Jolinda nods, not really expecting anyone to notice.

In reply to Ronhnie (msg # 479):

"Yes, please replace them with the ones we brought especially for this task."

She makes sure she or someone other than Rhonnie has all the marked ones from the previous locations.

In reply to Aoife (msg # 481):

the laborer deftly manages the tile exchange and heads down the ladder with a handful of suspicious tile.
 Devoreaux advances to check them out.
"There is definitely something up about this tile... this is a summoning glyph!"

Mancini harrumphed. "We wouldn't lie to you about something like this."

Then addressing no one in particular, Mancini asked, "Can anyone tell what this would be summoning? I know it isn't anything good, but maybe if we have a clue of what it is, we will know how to possibly defend against it. I doubt these forces will simply give up just because we gathered up a few tiles."

Jolinda shakes her head.

In reply to Jolinda (msg # 484):

Aoife just smiles at being proven right. They may be able to provide more information...

In reply to Aoife (msg # 485):

"You have more of these? We might be able to determine something, although that may involve a trip to the Dismal Tower to consult a sage."

In reply to Devereaux (msg # 486):

OOC: Aoife is trying not to be lead negotiator here...is anyone more skilled?
