[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9273940, member: 20459"] [I]When they have gone down enough alleyways and up enough staircases, switching back a few times to confuse any possible followers, the two in front - namely Toriq and Snickcha - stop, apparently deciding they've lost any possible tails, if, in fact, there are any ... yet. No immediate hue and cry seems to have developed in Ravenswood Gaol, but they all need to be prepared, should any develop. Beppa slaps Nemo on the back, and, after her quip, murmurs to him that she and Tryfza will seek one of the many hideaways of the Children of Sorrow until the heat cools down. "If you feel you need to get away for a while," Nemo quietly answers her, "we may be headed to Blackstone in a short while. Send word to Juniper House, and we'll find you and take you with us." A nod, and the two newly freed comrades slip off into the shadows. Snickcha observes their departure and turns to Toriq, with a smile of thanks. The tiny goblin makes a gesture very familiar to the warden - a thump of the shoulder with the opposite fist, followed by a short bow - and Toriq starts in surprise. Snickcha smiles again and gives a nod, saying "valóban"* before disappearing into the shadows. Meanwhile Jendi is in quiet conversation with the young human male. "Go to the shipyard and look for The Firefly. Give this sack to Milo and give him this message: 'this pigeon was caught in the sparrow's netting. Both have escaped the net, and this pigeon needs to go home to roost downriver.' Got it?" A bewildered Izzy nods and tries to ask another question. "I'll tell you all about it when I get down to Blackstone in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, keep an eye on the other situation for me. Yes?" Izzy nods again, then turns and heads toward the dawn light beginning to rise near the docks. After Mylistra's own quiet but urgent conversation with Cassia, entreating her to take more care of her personal safety, the older woman gives a dismissive sniff. Laughing quietly with tears in her eyes, the witch gives her another fierce hug, saying, "thank you for your ferocity, my friend!" As she watches Cassia limp away down yet another alley, the witch's attention is caught by the elf standing awkwardly while watching the various departures. Heading towards him to see if she can somehow give him some kind of aid, she realizes that Toriq has obviously had a similar thought and is making a similar trajectory, reaching the elf first. The warden says gravely, "I think, sir, for your safety, you should come with us... to Juniper House." * Giantish for "indeed" - indicating that Snickcha is familiar with Giantish ... and aware that Toriq is as well.[/I] [HR][/HR] I've laid the groundwork for several of the above possibilities: [LIST] [*]Beppa will send word to Juniper House if she needs help. [*]Jendi has given Isadore 52 gp worth of items (40 gp worth drake trophies + 12 gps) for a guarantee of his safe travel to Blackstone. The 52 gp = 10% of at-level Magic Item cost, so it is the equivalent of an autosuccess in a Skill Challenge obstacle and thus renders Izzy's journey ensured & taken off table as future complication. [*]Plus: there is clearly some kind of unforeseen connection between Toriq and Snickcha the goblin who speaks giantish. [*]Plus here are two new Quests for Nemo: [LIST] [*]Minor Quest for Nemo: secure Beppa's safety. [*]Major Quest for Nemo: have The Children of Sorrow attain a seat on the Venerable Council of Guildmasters (Ravenswood Town Council). [/LIST] [/LIST] However, I think the priority right now is Cosmo's connection to the Cult of Orcus. To wit, the party believes that Berylis may have information to help them with at least some of that. So, for now we are focusing on the logging company and its work in the woods. [/QUOTE]
