Two Obelisk Strangers

When the The Mighty Menagerie explored the Ziggurat of Tharizdun, below Skola Vale they met two strangers.   They were later realized to be Captain Meklan & Jeriah Chronos    
From Session 25: Tharizdun Report:   They all got off the ship and headed towards the Large 20’ tall black metal obelisk. The dull metal seems to “absorb” any light near it. It is not made of the same material as the Ziggurat – which is black stone.   Calliope takes a handful of sand and she picks up how this area is very important. She picks up how the glove says this may or may not be where the Shard of Evil was passed into this realm from another dying universe. She shares this with the party.   And they get to the obelisk. They begin to inspect it and see all the very fine and thin linework that goes all throughout the obelisk. As they are looking at it and they hear a voice,   "hello there." and there are two people here, they are two young human males.     The one who speaks has short hair and a short beard that is well trimmed.   The other has a five-o'clock shadow and large curly brown hair.   The goateed gentleman continues in his salutations: "I'm sorry, time is short" and the two look at each other with an odd smile "So, because you didn't… no. um… so here's the deal. When you get out of here - you need to find "Jinx" she is pretty well-known bard at this time and you can just ask around the more prominent taverns and venues. Tell her Jeriah sent you and you are to tell her of your tales and travels. This is important. As a sign of good trust I need to give this back to… sorry, I need.. I want to give you this." And he hands bastion a ring. "Don't forget this time, Jink and Jeriah sent you…." as the last words came out of his mouth they both fade out of existence it seems and then with a near audible "POP" they are gone.   Everyone is confused and starts trying to make sense of what they said. Bastion looks at the ring.   The perception check:Shadow saw the same brooch it seems that Bastion was wearing.   They were in some rush it seemed. They did not come out of the obelisk, but appeared near it.   Shadow rolled an insight **whispers**   Shadow: “what did he give you?   Bastion: “a ring.   Shadow: “He said don’t forget this time, does it look familiar?   Bastion notices it looks a bit familiar, it looks like a ring of spell storing he saw at the colleges.
    Later, in Session 26: The Ziggurat of Tharizdun Report there was a discussion about how one of them might be Grognard, or as Barlo knew him as Barlo's Childhood Adventurer.
