Setup, I'm level 36 or so, just learned drag this or the session before. I decide it's time to see what all I can do wit it, so I blackjack the nomad warrior, tie him up, and start trying to drag him around. I'm having a heck of a time at it, when Sariyah speaks up. The rest ensues as follows. (Also, if anyone notices the similarity to Calheil's lastname, Calheil had no real family, and Sariyah is the closest thing to a father he ever had, so he chose to take up the name en'Sariyah, sort of like Johnson originally came about by being "son of John")


Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'Dragging was difficult to learn for me as well.'

You nod.

You step out of the shadows.
You say 'Not so much difficult to learn, though tiring to do.'

You attempt to hide.

The Guild of Shadows
Those that have trained in the art of thievery have gathered here under
the guidance of the Master of the Guild, a position of dubious honor given
the Sultan's hatred of thieves. Leaded glass lamps burn dimly throughout
the hall, providing shadows for those that gather here. Dark panelled walls
of fine wood, thick carpeting of deep red and purple, fixtures of polished
silver -- all these things speak of the guild's secreted wealth and prosperity
despite their persecution. Lining one of the walls in a collection of gags,
ropes, and blindfolds.


A short man dressed in muted colors lingers in the shadows.

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'We'll let word spread of your new position, it shouldn't take long.'

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'Keep the interests of the guild at heart and we won't have any disputes.'

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'Agreed?'

You nod.

You say 'Always.'

Sariyah the Master of Bandits reaches out and clasps your hand.

You say 'The Guild has been generous to me.'

You say 'I could not do less to my home and family.'

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'I'll pass the word along to the other guilds.'

You tap your cheek, lost in thought.

You say 'That actually reminds me of something.'

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'At least to Glinar. That damnable Scriblu can learn thirdhand for all I care.'

You say '...which is generally what I was curious of. What sort of previous politics there might be with the other Guilds.'

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'None so durable they should concern you.'

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'We meet in..'

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'We have relationships. '

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'But there are no politics that you need be aware of.'

You say 'Yes, I have seen him about on occassion. I had been looking at perhaps making his aquaintence, should I see him again.'

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'Of your own position, you can blackball a member from the guild.'

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'But once done it cannot be undone.'

You nod.

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'I have not the time or inclination to deal with second chances and frail decisions.'

You tap your cheek, lost in thought.

A wry little smile crosses Sariyah the Master of Bandits's face.

You say 'Another thing I have been curious of, if I might inquire...how are our donations put to use?'

Sariyah the Master of Bandits raises an eyebrow.

Sariyah the Master of Bandits says 'You have plenty to learn without worrying about such things.'

You spread your wings slightly for balance before bowing deeply.

Sariyah the Master of Bandits bows deeply.

You say 'Of course, Master Sariyah. Blame my hasty nature, as you can likely recall.'

Sariyah the Master of Bandits chuckles politely.
