Dexter and Gareth and Wren: the Interim |
Lead | ||
|
Aidora spends a great deal of time with Gerard and learns things about the oceans she never knew. She returns to Dexter's side when done.

Does Dexter take an Ambassadorial post?

Eventually. But Dexter first spends some time in Atlantis, establishing himself as Grand Poobah or something. He keeps Aidora's hubby close, and rules by proxy through him during his extended absences.

Dexter, sitting comfy in his office in shadow where his only troubles are keeping the trade balanced and the locals happy, gets a letter from Amber delivered by courrier. It includes a box as well. The letter states,
Dexter, Contained within the crystal in the box accompanying this letter is a shard of the broken jewel of judgement. Keep it with you at all times as it is your only protection against the magic that will soon assail you. If you should lose it or have it taken from you, recover it before you sleep again or you will be lost. Amber is doomed unless you act immediately to save her. You must come at once to the Abyss that stands at the Courts of Chaos and then jump into the Pit. I await you at the bottom. Your cousin Iris, Queen of Hel PS. I'd invite you in person but I am trapped in the abyss and can not get out. PPS. Beware the undead. I would be less cryptic but they may read this before it reaches you. The jewel is protected from them. The box does indeed contain a piece of red crystal in a clear glass ball. "Without a monster or two it's not a quest - it's a gaggle of friends walking about" -Owl |

Having been in brief posession of the Jewel once before, Dexter concentrates on the shard, attempting to discern any remnant of the Pattern in it. </ICMP echo response> Mens agitat molem Always remember to pillage BEFORE you burn. |

It is indeed what the letter claimed it to be, a fragment of the jewel of judgement. It is at this point that Wren appears next to Dexter.

"Just who I was looking for," Wren says. "Mind if I add Gareth to the mix? That is, if you got a 'gift' from Iris."

Dexter is delighted to see Wren again. "Of course, the more the merrier," he replies.

Yes to all of that. Dexter's player is out of town. You'll have to manage between the two of you until the 15th.

"So, we all got these shards and notes. Apparently, the shards do have a bit of Pattern in them, so the notes might be telling the truth. If they are, what do we do about them? Jumping into the Abyss seems a bit of a permanent measure."

Wren thinks about it. "I'd like to see if we can find out who else got these things before we do anything that crazy. Perhaps some investigating at the courts of Chaos might be in order. Given my status in Amber, I volunteer for the second of the two."

"I think you can probably ask Gerard or Benedict without causing too much trouble. They might, if willing, be able to probe around beyond that. You can judge whether your father would be okay to talk to or if he'd get demanding. I'm pretty sure Random, Bleys and Fiona are right out. Deirdre maybe?"

"I'm thinking I should probably bring Dad into the loop; if I don't, and he finds out, he'll be a lot more interfering than if I give him a casual notification, no real request for help."
Gareth [not his uncle, silly typo] drafts three letters, with the exact script of the notes received and the addendum "Wren and Dexter both believe the shard to be authentic." |

[Gareth.. not Gerard.. Who're they addressed to?]
Aidora, much more relaxed than either of them has ever seen her.. she's not even carrying her sword.. comes out of a nearby building and joins them. She puts an arm on Dexter's shoulder, says "Sorry if he's not being the best host right now. What can I do for you?" Pippin: Are we lost? Merry: No Pippin: I think we are Merry: Shh. Gandalf's thinkin' Pippin: Merry? Merry: What? Pippin: I'm hungry |

The letters are addressed to Gerard, Julian and Benedict.
Gareth says nothing, simply winces briefly and returns to the letters. |

Wren takes note of Gareth's reaction. "Nah, we're just deciding who the bad guys are."

"Everyone's a bad guy," Aidora responds. "It's a safe assumption."
