Looking For the Baroness

Leaving the Mage's Guild, Balasar heads towards the Seshtau embassy. He shudders slightly as he sees the building, remembering being in the middle of the sea of undead that spewed out of there to ward off the Leib-Olmaians, before he goes in looking for baroness Jade.

  As you approach the building, it looks like any other. The outside is stone with a tiled roof. Quartered banners of red and black decorate the walls. In the middle, there is a solid wooden door with iron fittings. In the right light, the sun catches the ward and it glitters in the light. Two gaurds stand on either side of the door. They wear leather armor with the same quartered sigil in the middle of their chest. When you near one speaks.

"State your business. "

He is a tall elven male. He has dark hair pulled back into a neat bun. His face lacks emotion.

Balasar walks confidently up, stopping just before the guards with a polite nod to the two men, speaking towards the one that questioned his purpose here.
"Good evening sirs, I'm Balasar Levine and I'm looking to speak with baroness Jade. I'm hoping that she might be here."

The elf looks Balasar up and down for a moment. He then calls out "Ward down" and the magical shimmer fades.

When Balasar walks through the door he sees a much diffrent inside. Whereas the outside was plain the inside drips with opulence. The floors are marble and the furniture is a rich mahogany color. Long red velvet drapery frames all the windows. The room that you walk in has a few people walking around and looking busy. Some have simple belt favors and some wear a full tabard. There is a desk in the middle of the room with a large man sitting behind it. His skin is a deep purple and black horns sit upon his head. He looks to be busy with paperwork.

He takes a moment to appreciate the opulent atmosphere and the displayed insignia of his home before he walks up to the desk and quickly clears his throat to try to catch the attention of the man doing paperwork.
"Excuse me, could you please help direct me on which way to go to find baroness Jade? That is, if she isn't too busy at the moment."
He then waits patiently for the man to answer, taking one last glance around as he does.

The half fiend continues writing with his quill and parchment. A few moments pass in silence as if he didn't hear the request. Eventually, he sighs and places his quill down.

"You're still here...? They really just let anyone in here to bother me."

He slides his chair back and it scrapes against the marble. The noise is unpleasant and makes you want to wince. He stands up and gestures for you to follow him. He towers over you, pushing almost seven feet.

He leads you down a side hallway and past a few doors. You both stop outside of a door with a large flesh golem standing gaurd. You would recognize it as Jade's flesh golem named Kumara.

"He's here for the baroness."

The silent golem steps to the side and opens the door. It closes it behind you. Inside is a fairly large office. The walls are lined with bookshelves that are completely full, almost overflowing. There is a large, ornate wooden desk towards the back. Jade sits behind it and looks up from a book she was reading as you enter.
