I don\'t like the idea of things just appearing in our inventory. Nobody ever wrote that we had acquired 250 trias... they just appeared. No one wrote that a tusk was cut off the creature... it just appeared. The tusk is not up to me to fix, I just realised we never actually were given decent clothing either, where did that come from? I\'ll add the money and the clothes into the post where we read the note. LondonWalker, can you please edit your post to include cutting off a tusk?
Cyberchu... in three different posts, you changed your style, from \"you\", to \"I\", to \"he\". This was started as \"you\" so let\'s keep it that way.
I don\'t mind him being called Jalko, but don\'t refer to him as such unless you are being addressed by someone. By using \"you\" we are placing the reader(s) in the role of the protagonist. His name should only be used by other characters, not by us.
Please, let\'s keep it consistent.
Oh and just so I know... is this armor a breastplate (I think it should be) or is it half/full plate? A Cuirass maybe?
Also Merdarion, it was not a shopkeeper that offered to buy the tusk, it was a small, wrinkled man in the street.
I derived \"scryers of time\" from the eye \'scrying\' and the clock \'time\'. Clocks don\'t fit medieval... I\'ll take it as a sundial. Any problems, just ask me and I\'ll change it. Umm we are in Yliakum right?

You reach down among the remains of the elves and retrieve the amulet. You examine it for quite some time. The odd engravement seems eerily familiar to you, yet you can not recall why. Deciding to examine it closer when you have time, you hang the amulet around your neck and look once more to the ground.
You retrieve the letter from the dead elf.
It is sealed with wax embossed with the logo from the amulet, it is obvious the two are related. You carefully peel off the seel and unfold the parchment. You begin to read.
\"You have served me well in the past Berallion, yet I have need of you once more.
The Meridians have long been a thorn in our side, one more than most. You know who it is I speak of.
It was my understanding that this particular barb had been removed, but I now learn it has returned. The one responsible for misleading me has been destroyed.
Your contact will be in Anath\' Cyren. Remember the phrase \"Throughout the ages, the eye is ever watchful.\" Without this phrase, one will not keep their head.
Go to the inn known as Talad\'s Gift, ask for the observer.
The eye is eternal,
The Scryers of Time\"
Finally you can put a name to the seal, but there is no name to go with the one who wrote this letter. It is clear that the author was known to this \'Berallion\'.
The sound of hurried footsteps approaching drives all thought of the seal from your mind.
\"Jalko, I never thought I\'d see you again.\"
This man clearly knows you.
\"The Captain wishes to see you. We will escort you.\"
Looking around you see you are surrounded by Meridians in matching armor, all with sharpened steel pointed in your direction.
This is clearly not an invitation.
Do you go along willingly, or tell them of your need to get to Anath\' Cyren?
