You say 'Falcon'
Matinah says 'Ahh, yes. I was once fortunate enough to see the Falcon. Buy me a drink and I'll tell you about it.'

You give a shot of blue lightning to Matinah.
Matinah says 'Wow, thanks. Marech's blue lightning is just what I needed after that last song.'
Matinah drinks firebreather from a shot of blue lightning.
Matinah wonders 'What do you wish to know about the falcon? I can tell you about his exploits... or
perhaps you wish to hear about his famed equipment?'

You say 'equipment'
Matinah says 'Ah, yes... the Falcon's equipment was like none I've ever seen. I've often wondered if he'd be half the rogue without it.'
Matinah grins.
Matinah says 'I can't remember what all he had, but I'm sure Patch would know. He's the barkeep in Thul. If you're wanting the Falcon's services, he'd also be a good one to contact.'
Matinah takes a quill and writes something down on a dirty piece of parchment.
Matinah says 'Here, take this so Patch knows we were talking. He may open up a bit more to you if he knows I sent you.'
Matinah gives you a note from Matinah.
Matinah exclaims 'Good luck friend. And be sure to come back and buy me another drink!'

Go to Patch the bartender in Thul Abhara.

You say 'Matinah'
Patch the bartender wonders 'Matinah sent you eh? Have any proof?'

You give a note from Matinah to Patch the bartender.
Patch the bartender says 'Ah, a friend of Matinah's is always welcome here.'
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'It's unwise to discuss the Falcon's name in open though, so I'd appreciate it if you'd 
keep your voice down.'
Patch the bartender grins as if his thoughts are mischievous.
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'To be honest, though, I've not seen the Falcon in quite some time. I have a feeling he 
may have met an untimely demise though.'

You say 'demise'
Patch the bartender motions you to come forward.
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'Yes, he could be dead for all I know. I haven't seen him, or his handiwork, for quite a 
while. There's also rumours that his gear has been in circulation amongst the traders.'
Patch the bartender looks around to see if anyone is watching.
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'I can't help you find the man, if its his services you're needing, but I can direct you 
towards someone who may have a bead on where his eq is these days.'
Patch the bartender coughs loudly.
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'Friend or not, that kind of information don't come cheap though... it'll cost you 5 
million coins.'

You give 5,000,000 coins to Patch the bartender.
Patch the bartender smiles happily.
Patch the bartender says 'Pleasure doing business with you.'
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'Now, I don't know who was selling the equipment personally, but I do know that the 
GuildMistress of one of the Thieves Guilds had a hand in purchasing one of the items.'
Patch the bartender looks around for anyone listening in on his conversation.
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'She had a rather enormous contract out on the Falcon's head after he refused to work for 
her. In addition to the death contract she offered substantial rewards for the his equipment, which she knew quite well.'
Patch the bartender says 'Be wary of dealing with that one...'
Patch the bartender coughs realizing he spoke this last phrase out loud and begins to polishing the bar.

Go to Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport in Shadowport.

• Zmud Directions : #6 s;ne;s;s;se;e;e;s;sw;sw;s;#4 sw;#4 s;#5 se;s;s;d;s;se;s;#3 sw;u;w;w;n;nw;n;n;sw;s;sw;se;e;ne;open wall;#3 n;w;open w;w;w;n;w;n;n;open d;#2 d;#3 s;w;u;w;u;open w;w;open trapdoor;u

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport stops what she is doing as you enter and nods in your direction.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Welcome, Playername, my spies have told me you've been looking for me. 
I think I know why you're here, but in case I'm mistaken, how may I help you?'

You say 'Falcon'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport nods solemnly.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Yes, I heard you were inquiring about the Falcon. You have probably 
also heard I dislike the fellow. Nothing could be further from the truth though, as I have a great deal of respect for his 
skills.'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'That said, I am a businesswoman, and he broke a contract we had 
together to do a job, saying it "contravened his ethics". A thief with morals is a danger to us all. My contract on his head 
was simply a means to ensure others do not follow his ways.'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport chuckles politely.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'It's bad for business.'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'And speaking of business. Do you wish to do business with me? If I 
feel you are worthy of the information, I wouldn't be opposed to hiring you for some odd jobs. You would have to prove your 
worth to me of course.'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport looks at you.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Your equipment appears to be moderately useful, though if it is an 
indication of your skill, you may not do well in the task I need you to complete.'

You say 'task'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'It's more of a job than a task I guess.'

You say 'job'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Excellent, Playername. I am glad you are interested.'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport grins.

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Our Guild has been hired to procure a certain letter from the Lady of 
Dragon Pass. It appears as though our employer has found out this letter is worth quite a bit of money to the lady of the 
Keep and he wishes to blackmail her for its return.'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport chuckles politely.

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Your task is quite simple, for someone of your calibre. Steal this 
letter without the Lady knowing and return it to me. Beware, however, you are not to read the contents of the letter or our 
deal is off.'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport suddenly stands up quite straight and tell, to drive home her final point.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'I promised our employer that the letter would remain unread, and so 
it shall be. I am giving you this opportunity to prove yourself. Ensure you do not mess it up.'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport grins.

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Good luck, and God Speed.'
