Looking for loot... (Troll Grave Chasm)

[DM Bob]

They stop and discuss amongst themselves briefly. There's some nodding after a minute.

"We agree... for the moment." States Khuv.

Haske and Yiska add almost in unison, "You still remain our strongest allies."

Yiska continues with, "But we do not want to get sidetracked much further. That cursed city has no good left in it, no matter the honeyed words of it's founders. Their Laws are as bad as any King or Queen's, tying down freedom in absolutes... that is something to truly fear. Even in Death, they seek to control."

She spits and mumbles something in elven that amounts to, "only fools try to contain the wind". You feel this is directed not to you, but towards those that held her brother captive.

Druuso nods and shudders. "How fast can we leave and begone from Bodach? Night approaches soon, where they are at the height of their powers."

"I'd prefer to stay in Bodach for a while and identify all the items we got off the Defilers and check out the wagon. Maybe a full day?"

"The undead can't exit the city, and the boat sits outside the city walls."

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- It's fine with me, where next? - says with some sadness - Because I'm not sure if the Arena is safer than this never ending chase..

[DM Bob]

"Um, but the Lawkeepers can... not super far and all, but they've been as far as the boat before (outside the walls) and brought us outside the gates when you returned. And didn't Odrela come when summoned? I will not do a full day there and I'm sure the others will agree." Khuv states.

Haske and Druuso both nod solidly in agreement.

"We do not know how easy it is for them to enclose us in those dreadful orbs again." Haske adds. "You should be wary of that as well. While we agreed to it before, it can't be certain that they can't take one of us without permission just as easily. We don't mind spending time looking at what we've found, but we can go anywhere - maybe to Balic and see Coden?"

Khuv states, "I can easily move us to the area outside his family's crypt. I'll mindlink with the man and tell him we're arriving and there should be no hassle, right?"

[DM Bob]

Abez adds, "I like that. I can get a crew together out of Balic and start gathering the flint again."

[ascieszl]

Kleys shrugs: "As long as we can block scrying there, that's fine."

[Niachi]

Laakh pivots from his wagon Phasing search and replies to Abez and the elves:

"Yiska, I am of the mind that no matter how I disguise myself, Stone City is going to find me, thus endangering your mission there. Unless majority disagrees, I believe my next path will be helming the Gambit with Abez. I can link up with my Balic contact and pass on personal messages to House Rokos...

And if I recall, I remember an elf in Balic, some hired killer type with a big sword. I remember hearing he also had business in Nibenay. You might look him up in the elven markets..."

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

"If you will, I think I will go the same way, Laakh," says the strange albino sun-priestess. "I long for time spent on the deck under the red light of the sun."

[Attilius]

Nov 23, 2021 14:47:58 GMT -12 Coden Rokos (Jesse H.) said:

"If you will, I think I will go the same way, Laakh," says the strange albino sun-priestess. "I long for time spent on the deck under the red light of the sun."

"Good, the Gambit'll need your gods Sun beams to fight off pirates and House Tsalaxa revenge." Says HurK

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- It seems that any agreement with the Lawmakers is like a gladiator's contract, where everything is specified to the minimum detail. I guess that they would not break their word, but maybe find a break on it to do their will.. - comments openly - I thought it was going to be a good place to learn some old useful crafts from old but risking been encased in an orb is not something I'm looking for - And looking to Khuv, Abez and Haske - Did they ever stayed why did they do that to you? Because if not, maybe roaming free with Laakh, Pallia and captain Abez would be my next dancing step, a dance with the winds warmth by the sunlight

[DM Bob]

Haske states, "We were collateral. As to powering those orbs? I can only imagine that they're only as useful as how sane one can remain trapped within. I have no clue as to if the ones we were trapped in were used before?" He shudders at the thought.

[Attilius]

Once a wormhole is made, HurK will pull the wagon through...

[DM Bob]

Khuv states, "I will need to rest... and perhaps eat some of that cheese if it's still holding up. Do we have another quick exit planned?" He looks to Mak. "I can't do many holes a day, you know."

Give him another hour or two and he should be good.

[Attilius]

"The spirit has given us 24 hours, no?" Asks HurK to Mak

[Deleted]

"We have until the end of the day today. We cannot rest here through the evening safely. I can portal us while Khuv rests. If Bodach is not safe, do we have another idea for where we could stash this wagon safely?"

When the party is decided on location, Mak will pop a portal there if he is familiar with it.
