Zal'Kazzir's Response to His Family being murdered

Things to be done in Sharuun:

• Meet with Sussar Shanduz (This conversation should be pretty straightforward)
  • Arrange for the Sussar to begin legal proceedings against Krell as we discussed.
  • Arrange a beneficial share-cropping arrangement with the Sussar.
  • Acquire proper traveling papers from the Sussar for Himself, as well as the authority to grant papers to his allies.
  • Make a formal request reporting all of his missing people, and petitioning for them to be returned, if discovered.

• Meet with the Grand Legate of Sharuun (Perhaps less straighforward)
  • Arrange a deposit and letter of credit from the Temple.
  • Get the Grand Legate's endorsement for his travelling papers.
  • Ask if the Grand Legate can begin the political process to have Krell's ranks and privilages suspended.

• Other Items
  • Use contacts (Perhaps Tomux-Gub) to get the name of any goblinoid mercenaries in the area around Eisin. Being a huge military hub, and given how readily goblinoids turn to mercenary work, there should be plenty.
  • Have Aisha and Zahir properly cremated, and feed their ashes to his horses (or hippogriffs, in this case) so that they might gain the departed ones' courage and strength.
  • Procure some parchment and inks for Kyuad (from Quadira, likely)
  • Send Dream messages to Eranon, Durgaz, Kyuad, Mi'sun, Zalma and Ahimia.

KEVIN'S - Initial thoughts/questions

One thing I wanted you to think about is the emotional impact of this on Zal'Kazzir. Some people WOULD just go into "robot" motion and supress the emotional stuff, setting out to "FIX" the problem. Is that what Zal's doing? I don't want you to only consider this a game challenge, but an experience that could likely MORE impactful than anything that's happened in-game so far. Then again, maybe it's not. Maybe Zal just was that distant from them/it.

I'd like to see you consider that some. Mostly because, as I told you - I DIDNOT just "kill" your family to make a plot point. This was something that a (now enemy) person came to take revenge on you with the potential for getting information from you regarding the other people in your group responsible for the death of HIS family.

What I'll do (soon as I can) is reply to your notes above "in-character". As if you've already asked the questions and such. Then you can take it from there. Unless you want to change them into in-character questions before I get to it... Your choice.

On "costs" or your use of your background "wealth" from your feats and such. Technically those feats only suggest a wealth. But I'm not going to challenge/begrudge you that. However, I do think it will be important (and fun in a way) to consider the costs and incomes of Zal's estate and legal costs, etc... I'm not going to go indepth with it, but it will be something I "talk" about in role-play... I think NOT doing so (with those type individuals) would take away the fun of the "politics" and diplomacy and financial ownership. Again - I'm not going to do anything to detailed... just enought for fun.

What do you think?
