[Settling down in the room Daisy and Joric have rented, they start a transmission to the team.]

We managed to gather some info at the Golden Haven gambling parlor. This treasure we've all been sent to try and find? No one seems to know what it even looks like. It was left to show the way to the supposed hidden island, Dracness, and the only way to access said island. There are many theories of how the Queen managed to take all of her prized possessions to Dracness with her, one of which is that she possibly gained powers.

At least that's what I gathered they meant, as they talked about the possibility of her going through something called 'the trials'. Some of them dismissed this as a possibility as it would be seemingly impossible that the Queen would have powers without everyone knowing. Maybe 'the trials' are some kind of test, or an experiment that grants people powers.

[Daisy explains before passing it over to Joric.]

At my table there were rumors that once there had been a piece of parchment in the Kellir library containing clues as to the location of the artifact. One claimed their captain searched and couldn't find it, so it's assumed it's gone, but it wouldn't hurt to take a look. Maybe it's hidden well.

[drawsblood]

It could've been. One pirate said the regent of Kellir might have hidden it, but her reasoning for thinking so is because the regent is trying to outlaw piracy. Though it's not a bad theory; the clue could be a bargaining chip.

Something like "pirates, leave and never come back and you'll get this note"? None of us have the power to enforce something like that, even temporarily. There must be a way we can get her to trade - and that's assuming she has it.

[drawsblood]

I was thinking more along the lines of making the pirate crews turn on each other and last ship flying wins.

[ But maybe that's too pessimistic. ]

Right. Getting her to admit to that might prove difficult, and she could always lie and say she has it when she doesn't. There's really no way of knowing unless someone sneaks into her home and finds it.

[durante]

That's not as impossible as it might seem. I'm working on getting an invitation to her estate, if my luck holds out.

[drawsblood]

That's convenient.

Are you saying you'll do some searching if you end up there?

[durante]

Yes. I want to search what I can, and talk to her if I can get close enough. I don't yet know how I'll persuade her to give up any information, but if anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

Or if someone can at least promise to break me out if I wind up arrested for snooping.

[drawsblood]

Well, good luck. Here's hoping the attempt is worth something.

And the way some people can make portals I'm sure you'll get out all right.

[durante]

If it turns out to be even slightly helpful, I'll let everyone know. If not, then we can see if the library has an underground to break into.

That's a joke.

[drawsblood]

[ Honestly, good on them for saying that because most jokes fly straight over Joric's head. ]

What would be even funnier is if that was true. There could be some secret door leading down to where the forbidden knowledge lies.

[durante]

If anyone's an expert on finding secret doors, then by all means, they can go check it out. I'm definitely not.

[drawsblood]

Neither am I.

[ But hey, heads up to any active listeners out there. ]
