A Goal In Sight

[Kender Bard]

The young kid wandered into the store, looking a bit ill at ease. Fingering the silver in his pocket made the feeling go away and he smiled again.

Tuono and Mat are both in the store, chating cheerfully over nothing important. Mat was the one to bring the younger thief into the guild four years ago, so there's a bond between the pair of them.

Seeing the boy enter, Mat gives him a slight smile. "Looking to buy something?" he calls.

The boy shook his head, skipping over. "Got a message for ya," he announces. "Got a whole silver ta bring it ovah too," he added. "Norm'ly I'd be more careful 'n stuff, what with the guards all up 'n arms, but I thought I'd give it to ya. Din't look like anyun I evah see 'round here 'afore." He held out the slip of paper.

Mat and Tuono exchange wary looks. "Not a local looking for help then," Mat mutters, taking the note and reading it

"Come on kid. I'll get ya somet'ing ta eat," Tuono offers the boy. "Let ya save the silver abit."

"You're a saint," the boy remarked cheerfully to Tuono.

The note was very short and simple.

I have the man who has caused your people to suffer. I wish to meet with you. Come to Morilanta. A man at the gates will lead you to me. Say that you have come for Trix.

Tuono snorts. "Arn't no saint kid. Just bin 'ungry afore ta," he replies, leading the boy off to the tiny kitchen of the store to make him a chicken and cheese sandwhich. "'Ere ya go," he says, setting the food and a cup of tea down before the kid.

Mat however simply pockets the note and slips downstairs to grab one of the few Minds in the guild. "I need to go to Maelstrom. Now." The mind doesn't question the order. He puts a hand on Mat's shoulder and they teleport away.
