Dice will say to the Mayor, speaking in common through his invisible imp circling around him so that it sounds like his voice is coming from multiple directions "Yes, I was able to recover some of your lost items for you and have word of lord Kent. I had to leave the tournament early." the imps voice cackling around the mayors head.
***So question... I know lord Kent is asking me to steal a staff for him... one that apparently the mayor also wants? I am assuming that Lord Kent told me where I needed to go to get this staff?***
**Lord Kent hasn't given you the details yet, he wanted you to come back in a day or two to get more info. Kent told you that the Mayor was also looking in to the Staff's location, and the info he got from the Mayor's notes was what he needed to find it.**
ALRIGHT, HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS (this always goes well when I start off with that)
Bullet points go!
- I won my first match of the tournament - I discovered that there was a large group of gnolls living in secret in the castle that were responsible for stealing your items - they were lead by a cloaked man that I was not able to get a good look at... he appears to have Lord Kent under some type of spell and is calling the shots through Lord Kent - I believe that Kent is actually innocent
Dice will then hand over the statue he got form the gnolls as well as the items given to him by Kent
tell me what I need to roll lol.... I am sure I am going to have to....
The Mayor sits silently for a moment, a look of shock on his face. "Wow, I never guessed it would be something so dire. The Lord of this land under the control of some hooded mage? How could this happen? I'll have to think carefully. If Lord Kent has been compromised, who else could be? I don't know who I can reach out to for help on this. For now lets just keep it between you and me. I need time to come up with a plan of action, would you be willing to continue assisting me with this if I can pay you?"
Dice will nod his head, while sending him a message in his mind "I will continue to help you.. but the compensation will need to reflect the added danger now that I know there is some kind of dark wizard and an army of gnolls that are going to be after me..."
"Yes yes, I'll find the funds, somewhere. Would you be willing to do some more reconnaissance for me?" he rises from his chair and goes over to his desk. "Here, take this. I tried to procure it for you before you left, but there wasn't time." and he hands you a scroll of disguise self.
dice will user mage hand to take the scroll and slip it into his cloak. "I will do the job you ask.... but first, I believe I need payment for the information and items I returned to you so far...." a voice will echo in his mind.
"Of course, of course," and he goes over to a wall safe and opens it up, pulling out a few different sized sacks, "Here you go, 390g. There will be more where that came from if you can find out more about this mage and is plans."
Dice will look to the mayor "I forgot to mention this before... but I did hear him mention a staff to one of the gnolls.... he sounded very interested in it... like maybe he had hoped that they would have found one when they were raiding this village or something... Does that make any sense to you?"
"Ahh, this is making more sense now. I had originally thought the attack on our town was just random, but it would seem we were targeted specifically, or more specifically, I was. My notes contained information that I had gathered on the legendary Danu de Tuatha. If this mage is looking for her staff, that is bad news for all of us. That staff, can not fall in to the hands of such an unscrupulous individual.
"Not much is known to be honest. It was all just thought of as a legend up until a few years ago, when a few artifacts and documents were recovered that revealed that the legends were true. The staff was powerful enough to slay an ancient black dragon. But we don't know exactly what that entailed. Luckily there isn't enough information available to locate the ancient tomb."
Dice will nod and stand up. "Thank you for this information... so what type of recon are you requesting? Are you sending me back to Lord Kent, or am I being sent somewhere else?"
"We need to know more about this mage. Do you think you could regain entry to his keep? Either undetected or in disguise? If not we'll need to wait and formulate a plan."

The mayor is slightly irked by this new form of communication, but shakes it off. "Come in, come in! Tell me everything."
**you don't have to write out the whole story, but just bullet point to me what info you let him know, and ill assume you keep the rest to yourself.**
***So question... I know lord Kent is asking me to steal a staff for him... one that apparently the mayor also wants? I am assuming that Lord Kent told me where I needed to go to get this staff?***

***So do I get the impression that the mayor is closer to finding it than Kent?***
**You don't know enough about it to make that conclusion**

**roll deception, with advantage, because you are returning some items, which gives credence to your claims.**
Deception ho!22
AND HE BELIEVES HE WAS THERE AND SAW IT HAPPEN IN PERSON!

"So what kind of power does this staff have? What should I expect if I find out that this mysterious person has already managed to recover it?"
