Liera

Ristel took them out through a back room, down some stairs, through a series of catacombs, more stairs, more turns, and eventually, everyone was turned around enough that they would have had trouble repeating the route, never mind going back.

Ristel eventually introduced them to an aged tiefling, Liera. Good think Mike was out this session, or his hatred of tieflings could have caused more issues.

Liera said she could make them their papers if they could help her retrieve an item that had been stolen from her clan. An ancient gem of scrying that they had been relying on was stolen by a rival clan, in a daring raid. The gem was now located in the top of the south western tower in the city. Those who held the gem(I haven't decided on who/what they are yet), are a xenophobic group and will not deal with anyone outside of themselves.

Ekeraath asked if there was a way she could obtain the armor he was in search of. Since it seemed to be in the city, he hated to let it get away. She responded that an agent of theirs had been imprisoned in the dungeon of that tower and his rescue would certainly garner a reward such as the armor.

Having been burned too many times in the past, the heroes said they needed to think it over and would let her know in 24 hours.

Ristel led them back through the bowels of the city, returning them to the tavern.
