The Lore of Magus Jaffer of the Palms

A RuneKey Master. Opener of doors. One who follows the unraveling threads the universe presents for him to follow.

Jaffer was resting his eyes while enjoying his grog, a routine happening in his life. He had only been in town a few days, making some Schmeckles by opening doors and locks for the locals, drinking and eating away his earnings. He finished his drink, paid his tab, and proceeded to leave the tavern. As he exited the tavern and walked down the street he noticed some wizards talking in hushed tones in a shadowed alley. Jaffer quickly dug into his pocket and pulled out a skeleton key and quietly opened the door in the building adjacent to the tavern. He peered into the building, and not hearing any movement inside he silently slinked inside. He approached the side of the building closest to his targets. He crept onto a table against the wall and again reached into his pouch and pulled out a piece of chalk. He drew a keyhole on the brick wall, and effortlessly inserted his key into the solid bricks making up the wall, and opened a freshly formed hatch. As he strained to hear the secrets they were sharing, he saw down the alleyway behind the two shadowy figures, and saw a commotion. A handful of people were clearly searching for someone, because they started rushing down the alley to reach these two secretive wizzies. Jaffer could tell at that moment if he didn’t risk helping these two his chance to learn their alpha would be gone with the wind. He quickly opened the magical hatch, cleared his throat and pointed down the alley towards the charging group and asked:

“These guys friends of yours?”

The startled couple looked up at Jaffer only for a moment before realizing what he said, and looked down the alley and the crowd running towards them. Another moment of calculation in their eyes, and a nod shared between the two, and they scrambled through the hatch Jaffer held open, and in one motion the hatch was closed, the key was removed, and the door returned to the ethereal realm and the wall was a wall once again. Jaffer urgently led the way through the interior of the building, quickly drew another keyhole, opened the door and the three exited the building and closed the door which vanished behind them. He motioned to the pair to follow him as they ran down another alley to its end, and came to a solid stone cliff face at the base of a mountain, created a door in the rock wall, and closed it behind them seconds before the gang was able to see where they went.

“It’s not much, but we’ll be safe here from prying eyes,” as Jaffer spoke he pulled a large old key from his pouch “Now, I believe I heard you say something about trying to open a tomb of sorts?” The key creaked and squealed as it shifted and grew into a sword of sorts. “I believe I can help you with that- this bad boy can open anything.”
