Expect he'll autodelete in a couple of weeks.

Basically he viewed himself as a scholar. A seeker of forbidden secrets but unconcerned with the petty squabbles between rival factions. He pretty much took whatever was offered to him and gave as little as possible in return, as some people eventually worked out.

Just a few little tid-bits from his life that people might be interested in...

<693hp 1102m 581mv 19873tnl indoor 12 PM civilized> You get an etched dragonscale pendant from the corpse of Tiamat.

Bazrak and Aytak also helped kill Tiamat, and we all wanted the pendant, so...

Aytak tells the group 'She just had the pendant or?'

Aytak tells you 'Let me identify it'

I pretend to misunderstand and give him something else to identify.

Aytak tells the group 'nay wanted to identify the pendant'

You tell your group 'Makes ye much stronger, and makes ye resist breath'

Aytak whispers to you 'Just so you know, I'm somewhat disappointed in you.'

You tell Aytak 'How so?'

You tell Aytak 'I intend to keep my word'

which was...

You tell Aytak 'We can find some way of gambling'
You tell Aytak 'We each pick three numbers'
You tell Aytak 'someone goes to the inn'
You tell Aytak 'and if one of us has more numbers come up than the other, they get the pendant'

I kind of liked this plan, which had one (intentional) flaw. I was wanted, so couldn't go myself. Therefore we would find someone mutually acceptable to do it.

Aytak tells you 'Untrusting enough that you wouldn't let me identify it.'

Damn right. Zkatholef fled to the surface after poisoning the mage that taught him, so betrayal is something to be expected. In fact, on the subject of betrayal, why not use the infighting amongst the scions, and get Sargataneous to help me? Doubly interesting since I'd wheedled his ingredients out of him and arranged for one to be counterfeited. However, he kept dying and losing them so I gave up on that and decided not to oppose him, but only give him info about his items that I knew he already had.

You tell Sargataneos 'Would ye be willing to do me a favor?'

You tell Sargataneos 'Much coin in it for thee'

Sargataneos tells you 'That depends on what the favor is.'

You tell Sargataneos 'Well... before we discuss that, can I assume that our understanding is stronger than that you have with the other scions?'

Sargataneos tells you 'Yes, you can assume that.'

You tell Sargataneos 'Very well'

<698hp 1107m 581mv 19873tnl indoor 9 AM wilderness>
Sargataneos tells you 'It is somewhat close to the truth as well.'

You tell Sargataneos 'We gained a pendant from Tiamat'

You tell Sargataneos 'I proposed we sent someone not wanted to gamble at the inn'

You tell Sargataneos 'We each picked numbers'

You tell Sargataneos 'And whoever's number comes up most gets it'

You tell Sargataneos '100 gold for you if you say the number I tell you has come
up twice'

Sargataneos tells you 'I can do that, yes.'

You tell Sargataneos 'And I will increase my efforts to locate this band'

Heh. Or not.

Sargataneos tells you 'Increase it to its limit.'

Sargataneos tells you 'I come to the Inn now.'

You tell Sargataneos 'Excellent. It now only remains to convince the others'

Meanwhile Bazrak tries to offer wand locations for it...

Bazrak tells you 'what think?'

You tell Bazrak 'I think I would prefer to gamble as agreed'

Bazrak tells you 'can gamble now then?'

Bazrak tells you 'come Inn?'

You tell Bazrak 'The scions are busy still'

Bazrak tells you 'not need other, do fair'

Bazrak tells you 'just make sure he not number us pick'

You tell Bazrak 'The others must be aware of what happens'

Bazrak tells you 'ok'

You tell Bazrak 'Besides, it is Aytak and I that cannot get in the inn'

Bazrak tells you 'have find other gamble then'

Bazrak tells you 'other time then'

Sargataneos tells you 'I await at the Inn.'

You tell Sargataneos 'Ye sure it is safe?'

Sargataneos tells you 'It seems to be.'

Aytak tells you 'Do we gamble?'

You tell Aytak 'Aye, as I have to leave soon'

You tell Aytak 'I suppose we pick two numbers each and Bazrak gets the two we do not pick'

Aytak tells you 'How are we doing this?'

You tell Aytak 'Whoever's numbers come up more than the others gets it'

You tell Aytak 'As soon as one number has'

Aytak tells you 'Who is the one who is checking the numbers for us?'

You tell Aytak 'so if we each get one, then we roll again'

You tell Aytak 'Sargataneos any good?'

You tell Aytak 'He doesn't know how I feel about him so if I ask he might'

You tell Sargataneos 'Just talking to Aytak now'

Aytak tells you 'Sure if you can convince him to do it'

You tell Aytak 'Alright. Let me ask'

You tell Sargataneos 'He has agreed that you can do it'

You tell Sargataneos 'Don't admit ye are in the inn just yet'

You tell Aytak 'So, do you want to pick numbers first, or shall I?'

You tell Sargataneos 'We can pass the coin by summoning'

Aytak tells you 'Feel free or I will I don't care really. '

You tell Aytak 'I pick 3 and 5 then'

Sargataneos tells you 'You mean the one hundred coins? You can simply hand me those after we are finished with the deception.'

Aytak tells you 'then I'll take 2 and 4'

You tell Sargataneos 'Aye, though I didn't want us to be seen together, but fine'

Sargataneos tells you 'As for the band, it would be most useful if you asked your allies about it as well.'

You tell Sargataneos 'I have asked a select few, but will continue to do so'

Actually I never bothered, that I recall.

You tell Sargataneos 'Very well. I have picked the numbers 3 and 5, so if ye could say 3 4 5 came up when you "spin"?'

Aytak tells you 'As I said though, if I win and try it and the healing is greatly reduced I'll let you use it till you are about to become.'

You tell Aytak 'and as I said, when I incubate, it is yours anyhow'

Actually I had no intention of handing it over.

Sargataneos tells you '"Spin"? I am unfamiliar with this gambling.'

Sargataneos tells you 'I am simply to tell them that your numbers were 3, 4, and 5- yes?'

You tell Sargataneos 'You have to give the gambler 3 gold'

You tell Sargataneos 'wait'

You tell Sargataneos 'no'

You tell Sargataneos 'You need to make sure you can gamble first'

Sargataneos tells you 'Ah, I see what you mean. I will be the one gambling.'

You tell Sargataneos 'east of the bar'

You tell Sargataneos 'is a gambler'

You tell Sargataneos 'give him 3 gold, and he should roll the dice'

Sargataneos tells you 'Yes, he rolled them after I told him a number.'

You tell Sargataneos 'try that, and I'll reimburse the gold'

You tell Sargataneos 'Aye'

You tell Sargataneos 'So, claim the numbers that came up were 3 5 4'

Sargataneos tells you 'Very well.'

You tell Sargataneos 'That wins it for me since two of those are mine, and one is Aytak's'

You tell Sargataneos 'let me know when ye tell him'

Sargataneos tells you 'I have told him.'

You tell Aytak 'apparently the numbers were 3 5 4, he says'

Aytak tells you 'Aye he just told me as well.'

You tell Aytak 'He wants three gold off me now, but I can live with that'

You tell Sargataneos 'It is done. I will bring thee the money'

You tell Sargataneos 'I can't come in the inn though'

Aytak tells you 'Aye, just let me know when you prepare to cross over.'

Sargataneos tells you 'Meet me at the altar north of the inn.'

You tell Aytak 'I imagine you will likely be there'

You tell Sargataneos 'River north of Tar Valon ok?'

Sargataneos tells you 'I await on the river.'

You tell Sargataneos 'Actually, outside the northeast gate of the ruined city'

You tell Sargataneos 'I teleported to the Temple of Loch Grymner'

You tell Sargataneos 'Can't walk past the guards to reach thee myself'

You tell Sargataneos 'Don't be alarmed by my barrier magic. I teleported near to Tinf
alin before'

You yell 'Hail'

Sargataneos tells you 'Really. Don't be alarmed by my shield then.'
