On a dark area of the city of Trigol Temir turned to his Manticore. You can go off and meet some comrades, be here before sunrise.
As the manticore flew off, Temir waved at Sadildir to follow. There is a tavern that does a good job of minding it's own business. We can discuss things there.
As they enter in the back way and have a set in the back. Temir continues. I was here just to deliver a message. Then I believe an old rival was near, I was correct. I generally do not get involved in the goings on of other lands. With all that I have to do in my own. But while speaking with some of the local people I heard of some set backs for the elf's, this pleased me. The elf's are a dying race that has lived beyond their time and usefullness. They should all run and hide in that pathetic excuse of an island. I wouldn't mind at all if they all stayed and trembble with fear looking at their own shadow on Evermeet. If I can help them meet whatever weak elf god the worship, it's time well spend.

"Evermeet..." muttered skeletal figure, while following Temir "I believe, that I have heard this name before... oh, yes! The World of Toril! That's where we are! I remember, that a lot of people from the World of Toril seem to be interested in what is going on in the World of Oerth. In either case, let's continue to this tavern, you mentioned. We can discuss our matters there, and after that, I persume that you will be able to move us back to the World of Oerth, if you will be interested in my offer of course. By the way, I hope, that they don't mind having somebody like me in the tavern of their's, for I wouldn't like vermin to send their guards and thus interrupting our talk."

Temir asked opening the back door to the tavern

"Never" replied skeletal figure, walking into tavern after Temir "Yet I have heard a little about them. I presume, if this tavern belongs to Yuan-ti, they wouldn't mind my presence here, correct?"
[OOC:] "Galadon, since you are familiar with this tavern, could you please describe it?" [/OOC:]

Entering through the back entrance there was nothing that stands out, just one of many doors in an alley.
Entering the tavern the first thing noticed, it was dark. Temir stood by the entrance untill his eyes adjusted. The tavern was designed with a certain type of creatures in mind other than the back door there were few if any stairs. just ramps. At most tables there would be chairs and oblong raised platforms covered in cloth. On the wall hung various weapons and painting of different battles. There was four table in the center of the tavern and four booths along one wall and tow tables along another wall. The place was mostly empty just a couple human patrons.
Temir pointed at a chair by the two tables next to the wall. The postion of the table allowed Temir to see the whole room plus front and back entrance. Temir sat in a chair next to the wall.
Soon their server came to take there orders. About the size of a human a Snake body with a cobra head and human arms slide up to the table.
SSo Temir you journey went well I presume. All your body parts are intact, unfornately.
Your concern over my well being is most touching, I see your short a serving wench again, eat this one to. Temir gave a evil grin.
She lost a bet, Catlindra wishes to speak with you upon your return I will notify her if you wish. Do you wish the same drink as before?. and will you have anything sir.
Yes to both questions.

Temir waved off the server. You were saying something about a mission. Now I have plently of things to handle here, but I'm alway open to hear about new opportunities. Please keep in mind that any assitance comes with a price, no matter how much I may enjoy it.

Unlike Temir, his companion didn't needed to get acustomed to the darkness of the room, as his empty eye-sockets allowed him to see both in darkness and in the light through unnatural means. Still, Temir's companion waited for Temir to get acustomed to the darkness of the room, and then followed Temir to the table and sat down.
"Of course" replied Temir's companion, after their server left them alone "You wll have whatever reawrd you desire: power, numberous minions, gold, magical items... if you will agree to serve my Master. But first of all, I would like to tell you more about my Master and what services will be required from you, so that you could understand everything better. Our meeting at the vermins' hold was just an accident, as I was just sent there on the mission to test vermins' defenses and to make vermins hurry up a bit. But even thought our meeting at the vermins' hold was just an accident, it was a fortunate accident for both of us. As soon as I saw you, I realized, that you are a magician of no small power. And my Master always have a place for those with your power among his high command. Speaking about my Master, you have probably heard about being of awesome power, whom vermins call Demonic Wizard. And even though these vermin have absolutely no idea about who he really is, the name they have given to him suits him rather well. So, you too may call him Demonic Wizard. I will not give into details about my Master and his abilities, I'll just say, that he possess awesome magical power, that supress magical power of most of the Overlords of Abyss. And more then that - he has many vassals and minions as well, some of them as strong and powerful as you are. However, my Master's ambitions goes much farther then pathetic vermins' kingdom and even farther then the World of Oerth. That's why my Master always willing to accept those you will serve him loyaly, and not just common minions, but those with power to serve as high commanders of his armies. With the power you possess, you to will be able to become one of my Master's high commanders, you will be given everything - power, numberous minions, in time you may become ruler of a kindgom or even a whole world; in my Master's name of course. That's what is offered to you - a position of power in the service of mightiest being; power to conquer, enslave and destroy. Of course, you will have to oblige my Master's orders, and will be punished greatly in the case of treason, but my Master is also generous enough to his vassals and minions to give them some free time to do whether they want to; as long as it doesn't interfer with my Master's own agenda's of course. So, what do you think about this offer?"

I must tell now I sevre Talos, a greater diety of Toril, That will not change. If Talos does not mind this agreement, I would here more if the details. The destruction and chaos pleases Talos. I have no problem working with capable leaders. But in order to have success I must have the knowledge I ask for and freedom to accomplish it.
The front door opens and a female human walks in. Even at 52 years of age she is still comely. A fit body with long black hair. She is carrying a staff and wears a black dress with a silver trim. She wears a black cloak with silver trim. Her walk appears to glide across the floor. She walks to the table Temir is sitting at and sits without saying anything.
Sadildir, This is my mother Storm Lady Catlindra Serpentar.She knods her head to Sadildir, While delivering the message to Galadon I found a few elf's in need of a storm. They appear to have a hard time with a demonic wizard. I was showing the elfs my tribute to Talos, at their fort. when I met Sadildir.
Speaking in a silky smooth voice. Giving aid to strength to others who believe as we do would be benificial. Temir you would travel back to Oerth to assisst them.
Yes, I have found that the insect Challenger has tucked his tail under his hind legs and ran to Oerth, maybe to try and forget the defeat we gave him on our last meeting.
Catlindra laughs with a evil hint to it.Challenger does have a hard time finding women. Of course your helping him stay single could be the main cause.
Temir Bows to Catlindra and then turns to Sadildir. When I first came across the insect. He had his eye set on a female elf named Jastra. But like all elfs they are to slow. I caputure him and later found my action prevented him from Jastra and she was married to another. Our last meeting was very good indeed. Challenger had found the love of his dull life. But stuck his nose in business that didn't concern him, mine. So as payment for being a pest I turned his love in to a Were-jackle. After that they didn't agree on many things. HA HA HA HA HA
The situation here is wait and see. I will be taking Morden and going up to our retreat so he can rest. Catlindra stands Remember Temir, greed leads to mistakes, make sure you do not make mistakes and help other to make them. Anger clouds the mind and makes us miss oppounties, Challenger has alway been quick to anger even if he doesn't show it. Catlindra turns and walks out of the tavern.
I will collect a few things and them we can return to Oerth. Temir said to Sadildir.

"An extraordinary woman" comments skeletal figure, after Catlindra walked out of the tavern, leaving him and Temir alone once again "If only I meet her before..." skeletal figure let out a strange sound, which with some difficulty could be taken for a short laughter "...I wouldn't probably be able to appreciate her fully. Nevermind. I heard little of Talos, but if he is indeed a god of destruction, I am sure, that he will appreciate your alliance with me and my Master. Of course, my Master intends to built an empire of cruelty and evil, but it will be built upon the ruins of vermins' empires, and so, our mission have everything to do with destruction, as you will be able to see soon. I will wait here, until you will collect all the things you need."

Temir left and a short time later returned witha backpack. We have to travel to a Gate that is only known to a few. It is a portal to your world, but only a one way trip. I have a wagon waiting to bring us to the gate. I would like to wait till nightfall to leave, to enjoy a meal and speak with some creatures before I leave.
While we wait for nightfall, I wish to impress upon you I do not give my complete loyality to anyone fool hardy or expect the same in return. I propose a time period of let said, one year, to determine if we agree with each other. Personality I don't trust any creature who pledges their undying loyalty to me shortly after I met them.
I will not expect you or your master to tell me all and you will not expect me to kill myself in a useless fashion, just to benefit the moment. I will do what I can to achive the goals but to me. As long as I can voice my thoughts if I find them to difficult, and suggest changes.

"That is... understandable." said skeletal figure after a few moments of thinking "Of course, you will always be allowed to voice your opinion, but prepare yourself, that you will have to involver yourself more directly in some... troublesome situations. And I'd suggest you not even to think about betraying us, for if it will happen, your fate would be most unfortunate. As about waiting for nightfall, as I have already said, I can wait."

Temir listened and nodded. I have no problem being directly involved, as you seen at the fort. I also try as best I can not to get involved in a fools errand. As for betrayal, only people who try to betray me, would I seek vengence. I believe revenge is a dish best severed cold. Drinking some temir looked at the crow of creatures filling the tavern, seeing no one he want ot talk to yet.
I believe, before we go, this will be this last place I know that is safe from unfriendly ears. Even if someone here did here, they won't be that interested. Since it nothing to do with anywhere near here. So what can you tell me of the quest to controll the world of Oerth.

Skeletal figure hesitated a bit before speaking "I cannot tell you much by now. Keep in mind, that to avoid betrayal, Master tell us only what involves us directly, if we want to have more information then we need, we must gether it ourselves. What I can tell you, is that Master began his conquest from the Lortmil Mountains, where the way into his hidden citidel exists. Pomarj and dwarves of Lortmil Mountains were first to fall under Master's influence, even though they don't realize it yet. Now, it is time for Celene to fall, and..."

"Giving away our plans, eh, bag of bones? suddenly came a voice from the travern's doorway.

As Temir turned to the sound of the voice, he saw a male figure coming through tavern's doorway and approaching his and his companion's table. The figure is about seven feet tall, and his partially draconic heritage is clearly visible in red scales, which cover his body, large draconic-like claws upon both his hands, and finally in draconic-shaped head. His mouth is full of razor-sharp teeth. The figure is dressed in well-made breastplate and wears a long black cloak behind his shoulders. From behind his cloak, a hilt of something that resemble a greatsword is clearly visible.
