For the Greater Good

[Jarval]

"Thank you, I'd be honoured to have your protection." Nessa says to the frog, smiling warmly at the little construct.

"But is there anything we can do for you? After so long in that ball, do you need anything to eat or drink? Or don't you need to do things like that? What do you want me to do with the ball you were in?"

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"No, no, I don't eat or drink. But I do occasionally rest in the ball, so you can keep it if you'd like. Now," it says, hunkering down and crossing its tiny arms. "what are we doing?"

Sebastian Andovar, butt-kicker for goodness

"what are we doing?"

Sebastian points at the black idol. "Right now," he says, "We're thinking of the quickest way to destroy this."

 

[Jarval]

"Yes, I think it's going to prove rather problematic." Nessa says, chewing nervously on her lower lip as he looks at the idol. "Either we carry it with us, or we send someone back with it. I don't really like either option..."

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Maybe you could ask someone to guard it until you get back? Someone capable of protecting themselves and it, and not getting to scared of it," the frog suggests, itching his head with his hind foot.

 

[Lichtenhart]

Norin takes his time to think, but can't really help his new friends decide one way or the other.
"Couldn't you ask for some guidance from above?" he asks Nessa in the end, nodding to the calendar.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Indeed, I would be curious to see what the gods have to say," the little frog says, hopping over to examine the pretty little round calendar.

 

[Jarval]

"Alright, we'll see what they have to say to us, then." Nessa sits cross-legged, placing the calendar on her lap. She looks at her companions (including the frog).

"What question should I ask?"

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Perhaps who is the best to hold the idol safe until we get back?" the frog offers.

 

[Halivar]

Sebastian Andovar, paladin of Hoar

Sebastian scoffs, "No one is safe with that thing. Nevertheless, if we intend to keep it with us on our journey, that'd be the question to ask." He still holds reservations about taking the idol straight to the baroness.
