Proposal: Levi Drago, Blacktower Excavation
-
// Feel free to grab me for this

I'm dubious on this.
Whilst a good idea in theory, the fact remains many of the clover are also of the precept.
I would suggest that any group entering the ruins have to include a member of the Greywatch to ensure the safety of the general populace

If of the Precept, then surely that only be a good thing, no?

I say yay to this. The former Black Tower site is highly likely to contain dangrous items, some of which may not be in a safe condition.
However I also want to see full reports and mixed orgnisation groups. That way no one party should be able hide anything of note from the rest of us with any ease.
On that note I propose thee following format:

Councilor Byrce,
The Black clovers are an independent group, while majority of members are of the Precept, it has no affiliation. The leader being Levi Drago, a Wizard, and if you are concerned of our professionalism. You need only ask those who witnessed our defense of Bospir from the undead horde of risen purple dragons and the removal of a bebilith from below the cities sewers which may be verified by Dawnbringer Jadzia. However I would recommend speaking directly with Magus Drago, I'll not put words in the man's mouth regarding the organization of the expedition.

I'm not arguing on the benefits of the excavation.
Simply saying the group should consist of the various powers of the city.
The Greywatch for example would be interested in searching for the whereabouts of the Archmage if he still lives.

Councilors!
After freeing myself from a previous contract, I now find myself seeking to move the timetable for this project up considerably.
After perusing the file, I would like to visit a few of the concerns and details both addressed and unaddressed.
The first of which being the inclusion of elements of the council in order to act in a supervisory role. This is not something I can promise. I intend to take no more than eight into the ruins, as any more than that becomes impossible to manage. Assuming my crew is wholly involved, that leaves only three additional spots available for adventuring contracts. Those selected will needs be done so by their available professional abilities and perhaps most importantly by their ability to act precisely as I order them to. Because of these points raised, I cannot make guarantees that any of those in the council will be invited. It is not a no, but for the safety of myself, my crew, and those adventurers joining us I will not make guarantees of passage unless one can meet all these requirements.
Secondly, the council (Or the royal mage, if he be so inclined to offer his opinion) as detailed by the contract will needs nominate a third party to take those artifacts and store them away from those who would misuse them. As I wish to undertake this excavation soon, I hope a decision can be made quickly.
If these issues can be settled quickly, I hope we can make efforts to make this city a safer place to live. Again, I am happy to answer any questions and concerns either here or in person.

I will not join the party but I wish Lathander's blessings upon you Magus. May his light guide your path to the answers and artifacts you seek.

I'm happy to join you on this if planning lines up.

// we got a rough time and date yet?

Clerk Robinson,
Are there schematics from when the towervwas first raised which we can reference?
-
Well, after several hours of digging through old blueprints and designs and harassing the most notorious and hateful guild of stonebuilders, I have returned!
The "Blacktower" was originally designed to be the residence of Archmage Raubagaush, custom tailored in what is assumed to be a four level layout. The Stonebuilder Guild was extremely reluctant to part with it, and I was forced to use some of the funds I
embezzappropriated from the government slushfund to get it. I expect Councilor Levi to repay me after this 'investigation.'The first floor was to be a storage area and greeting hall, as the Archmage didn't want much in the way of guests, the first floor was to be filled with the crap and useless trinkets he couldn't bare to part with and you would be made to wade through it to reach the second floor.
The second floor was to be a non-research library, filled with what the stonebuilders described as "Non-dangerous books" and after a bit more digging, it seems the Archmage, during this period, was incredibly fond of Romance novels, and the entire floor was filled with cheesy romance stories of a peasant and a princess, or vice versa. A small shrine to Deneir, the Lord of Literacy, was present.
The third floor was to be the menagerie for various creatures, sentient or not, that he used for his studies.
The fourth floor were to be his personal quarters- and we note here that the quality of the stone and magical ores were of the highest make up, clearly meant to actually occupy the place of a sage's research- but the dimensions are far to small...
We can assume that the tower was merely his living quarters, and any actual dangerous research was conducted elsewhere as a result.
How he modified the tower after his imprisonment by the War wizard's, and after his release, is largely unknown.

Of course, it's uncertain if these plans were actually implemented? There is a noted lack of wage stipends paid in the records...
Clerk Johnson
-
So as I look at it...
The first floor will likely have some low level threats and items of intrests.
The second seems fairly unlikely to hold much danger, through religious relics are likely of interest to some.
The thirds residents might have got free and now up mischief.
And the fourth floor could get...odd. And is likely where we find any serous threats.

With the collapse of the tower, no matter of mischievous creatures or strange artifacts have been found. Unless they have been trapped below the rubble surviving for a year.
