After a great deal of thinking on the matter, as Paul absolutely refused to take part in our concerns, we have decided to have Peter Quora assume a disguise and approach Kara Martins as an apparent fan of hers. Peter sure has the idea with his dymensional plane of Circlaria, for which he is attempting to attain public funding. He has his share of professional colleagues. But we have determined that his name is not big yet. Also, Peter is fairly young. So he would be an ideal and convincing candidate. And it seems that Kara is quite outspoken but has been desperate for attention these days. So she was the easier one to approach as compared to Peter Crane. Tonight, Mr. Quora returned and told us of how successful the meeting with Kara Martins was. She was apparently reminiscing a lot on the moments she worked with Mr Kearney.
The important part, however, was the assignment she told Peter she was given, in 1308, which involved her going to the very place where the scroll was in order to blindly copy the darkfire scripts to parchment in invisible ink before destroying the scroll. She was then instructed to send the parchment with the invisible ink to a vault in an undisclosed location with specific instructions.
Kara then told Peter that whatever happened to that parchment afterward was completely beyond her knowledge. After the War of 1311-12, she lost contact with Tom. She had called him numerous times with no answer. She even went to his house and found that he was not there. She asked around about him, all to no avail.
So while the meeting was successful, the information she gave Peter was not quite complete. Jeo and Peter Quora agree that Mr Crane might provide some contextual clues to help us determine where Tom went, if not give the information we need directly.
It is now just a matter of getting hold of Peter Crane.
