If you choose to continue, let me fill you in a few things... I didn't start recording these RPs in their entirety for some time. Therefore, the first two meetings between Nicholas Laughton and Aerik are lost in the annals of WBS roleplaying for ever, which is unfortunate. However, if you read all the plays, it all gets explained. For the sessions I only caught parts of, I have included small summaries to help clue the reader in.
In a nutshell, Nicholas was hired by a powerful mixed-blood Magess, Ravanna Deathshroud, the first night he came into the tavern. He was given housing and food in exchange for bringing Ravanna the thief who has eluded her for years, Zared Lel Vadin. There will be a short play between Nicky and Ravanna's daughter, Allannee Deathshroud, which should help clear a few points up as well. Nicky needs a telepath to aid him in his work, and thusly, Aerik was approached. The plays you are about to read are very good ones, indepth, and complex. Enjoy!
