An Anticlimax & Confessions of a Halfling

[DM Bob]

"No shit. What next then?" He remarks.

Khuv and Haske nod in agreement.

Haske adds, "Were you ever planning on helping my sister and I gain our revenge in the Stone City?"

Yiska nods in agreement.

[ascieszl]

"What's the Stone City? "

"Nibenay..." HurK says distastefully to the mage then turns to the siblings "I'm sorry Haske and Yiska but because we killed his son, have his staff AND the temperate know our faces now, It's not a good idea to step foot in that city..."

The half giant pulls out her Magical Datchi club

"Ever."

 and offers it handle first to the duo as recompense.

"AGAIN."

[ascieszl]

"I could go... someday."

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

"Though the Sun is with me, I fear that my strength is not sufficient to deal with the problems of Nibenay," says Pallia. "It will have to be a subject of... careful future plans."

- Kem got astonished with the handling out of such a great weapon so freely. She looks straight to Hurk's eyes without saying a single word. It is not her weapon, it never was but its power felt powerful when she held it. The fist she was closing opens a little bit more, letting that the knuckles recover their natural colour.

The red-haired half-elf looks to the brothers - Yishka, could you explain me what is the issue in there? What is all this about? Which help is Haske referring to? - in a serious but clear tone of voice

[DM Bob]

"We were promised aid in retaking our place in Nibenay's market. Or at the very least, gaining our revenge on those that took our tribesmate's lives." Yiska states matter-of-factly.

Haske adds, "And tongues."

Druuso shakes his head. "What is one worth if they can't keep their word?" There is some irony in that.

Khuv actually agrees.

"I'll come with. Shadowking be damned, I'll take you there myself."

[Attilius]

HurK looks down with pursed lips as she taps the weapons head gently in the soil several times.

After a deep breath she looks at the siblings "OK, what's your plan? And what are we to do with the Gambit? We need a good plan or at least the beginning of one. You know what I can do with the way and want to help but I know nothing of your city's ways and laws. I just hope we can do it without the shadow king and all his wives noticing..."

[Niachi]

Laakh makes stinkface as he helps dig to Dote with his hands.

"Yiska and Haske Sky Singer: As lucky as we have been, I would need Advanced cloaking and mental shielding to return to Stone City, my former home. 
We will help you.  We do not forget. I have business there as much as you. When we go, we will have more on our side. Master Khuv, are you sure of your choice? Let's see what the next hour brings, yeah?"

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- And who took your place? Another house? Because each house should have caravans to provide goods within - Kem relaxes her tone - If us, as a group, are going to be in danger for been there, it might be useful to weak their provisions' line to the city market.

Kem looks to Yishka specifically - Yishka, remember that one of Drojakt's lieutenants escaped. Haske might not know that but you fought alongside us and you will be hunted too, as your brother due your family bond..

I'm trying to find another way without having to risk ourselves inside the city-state, we don't raise attention to us within, and if they want to sort out the matter, they'll have to leave their walls. I don't believe the templarate will bother with that if the market quarrels don't mess with anything else than that, right? - looking to everyone this time with her brown eyes - I'm not very smart but I extrapolate the Arena tactics into everything, and even so, I don't know what everyone thinks about. It's just an idea

Mak looks to the others digging. "I'll get us some digging help" and he vanishes into the lush vegetation. Mak will take some time to investigate the local surroundings to get a feel for the kinds of creatures here. ((Animal Lore check: 17)) He'll then making the appropriate wild calls in their languages to attract a pack of them to him.

((Casts Animal Summoning I, for any burrowing animals he thinks could be nearby [Badgers, Wolverine, Moles for example]. If successful, he'll instruct them to assist the digging efforts but not to harm the buried corpse or anything on it.))

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- I don't have anything to dig besides my bare hands - tells to Mak sincerely and turns to everyone - Or maybe trying to 'enrol' in their files or offering them our services as mercenary caravan guards because, pretend for a second that we pass through the city gates.. What will be next? Dispatch them one by one? In daytime or at night? They'll have guards. It looks suicidal to me unless you tell me that we can be transported to their place through a hole and back.. Who was able to do so? Because then it could be more doable.

[Attilius]

HurK uses his dagger to unfurl the hovering note then attempts to read it...

[DM Bob]

As you talk you dig. While some burrowing animals are called, the conversation currently keeps you from getting too deep for now.

Kri-kcht knows Nibenay. Heck! He used to live there... and he's technically a member of the Shom trading house.

The Elves speak up. "It isn't as much a plan, but a necessity." Remarks Haske.

Yiska adds, "The dwarf psion. Shardivan. Did he not have a source for more dream spider webs?"

Hurk notices the message is in cramped elven script. He does not know how to read this.

"Aye but he said we'd have to get it ourselves."

"This isn't the trade tongue..." and offers the note to anyone else
