"Why yes, I believe I might know a little bit about them. Why do you ask?"
"They are the big prize for this trip." he says, between sips of tea. "As you probably know, Elder artifacts and relics are worth tons of cash to the right collectors. I have contacts with a couple of them, and I've put together a web of rumors, leads, partial maps and other stuff that I think is going to take us to one of the largest collections of Junta relics ever." As he speaks he finishes off the tea and points to the scroll he was reading for emphasis. "Problem is that most of the route is going to be through completely unknown territory, or areas so little explored that they may as well be unknown. I even paid for a Divination while we were in port on if now was the time to act on it. The result was wishy-washy, but more favorable than it has been in the past."
He picks up the scroll and holds it up in front of Bazz, pointing to an odd three star design at both the top and bottom of the scroll. Illegible, but thick and oddly sinister, script fills the rest of the scroll. Just looking at the papyrus, Bazz can tell that this scroll is very old, probably a couple hundred years at least. "This symbol is a key part of the Elder's religion and society. Something called the Eternal Lotus, best as the sages can tell me. I would appreciate if you could spend some of your downtime going back over all the stories and whatever that you know, to see if you have heard anything before that may hold some kind of clue."
