Trikein says, "The wizard created the hogs, and the grubs.."
Trikein says, "No, the Knight whipped the wizard."
Trikein says, "You see back then..magic wasn't as seperated as it is now."
Trikein says, "That is what he was created to do"
You say, "And the Knight took his own life in the end."
Trikein nods.
Trikein says, "One more thing.."
Trikein is apparently wrestling with a massive door.
Trikein opens a massive door.
Trikein points at some heavy tapestries.
look tap
The heavy hangings are woven of fine silk worked with threads of vibrant hues. Time has been gentle to them and they retain their vivid images. Each one shows a scene of the hunt or of banquetting and gaiety. One, larger than the others, shows a tall Human, proud in his bearing, wearing hunting leathers and light chain mail armor.

You say, "Oh there they are."
Trikein says, "Tall human bearing Hunting leather and chain."
Trikein says, "Terald paintings were one of those."
Trikein asks, "Now..stay here a moment?"
Trikein says, "I need to go look at something"
Inspector Trikein came through a solid wood door.
Trikein chants:

"A rotting sack reads:"

Trikein chants:

"Imp rt of K ern T wn"

Trikein taps his notes.
You gasp!
Trikein says, "So I was wrong."
Trikein asks, "Where is Kaerna Town?"
You say, "Import of Kearna"
Trikein asks, "Where is that located?"
You say, "Its to the northeast of Crossings, past Arthe Dale"
Trikein nods.
Trikein asks, "So, now do you believe there is something to all this?"
You say, "Very possible!"
You say, "Kaerna itself doesn't have spores or mold that I know of... "
You say, "But it has the grain."
Trikein says, "My.."
Trikein says, "Erna means Valley"
Trikein says, "Well seems like..."
Trikein says, "Well its a stretch."
Trikein says, "You could combine the words Dragon and Valley for Kaerna"
Trikein says, "But its a stretch"
You nod.
Trikein says, "Hmm.."
>Trikein says, "That is..desturbing."
You say, "This whole Manor is disturbing. The bag from Kaerna is disturbing.. the disease is disturbing."
Trikein asks, "And..have you ever noticed sometimes history can seem simular to fictional tales?"
You say, "Sure it can, depends on who's writing it and their view of it."
Trikein asks, "Well, should I take you back to Crossing?"
You say, "I don't think I want to stay here."
Trikein says, "My, I just noticed.."
Trikein gets a smooth parchment map from inside his journey pack.
Trikein asks, "Yes?"
>Trikein cringes.
Trikein says, "I just don't like the idea of someone using my ideas.."
You say, "So.. Can you show me where the spores are? Or .."
Trikein says, "And then I looking the fool, as if I stole his idea from him."
You say, "What would you have wanted someone from the Order to do? I need to pass the information to them."
Trikein nods.
Trikein says, "Of course."
Trikein says, "I am just..hesitant."
You say, "That's what I will do then."
Trikein says, "I have been alone with my studies for many years."
Trikein says, "I have a general distrust towards most people of Power."
Trikein says, "If I did stumble across something, I think it likly one of those in Crossing's heirarchy would push me aside."

You ask, "The spores.. you are going to keep the location secret for now?"

Trikein says, "Then they would take up my quest..and best case they create a whole new medicine class.."
Trikein says, "Worst case, it does nothing, and he blames me."
>Trikein says, "For now."
You say, "If they created a new medicine class, then your works would be it's foundation."
Trikein says, "I doubt it."
>Trikein chuckles.
Trikein says, "You see..I once put years into creating a stable economy around the bank."
Trikein says, "My very house was taken from me."
Trikein says, "I was even deported to the Islands for a bit."
Trikein says, "We shall see."
Trikein says, "And I just now noticed you are a women."
>Trikein clears his throat.
You chuckle.
Trikein says, "I will give you these though."
Trikein gets some pale white spores from inside his journey pack.
Trikein offers you some pale white spores. Enter ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it. The offer will expire in 30 seconds.
You say, "Oh interesting"
You are now holding some pale white spores.
You say, "Thank you."
Trikein says, "So you may experiment with them."
You say, "I will do that"
You say, "If the spores do work on disease, they will be a sought after item."
>Trikein says, "I know.."
You say, "Your home.."
You ask, "How do you weigh that against the good of the people?"

Trikein bows.
Trikein says, "M'lady"
