[QUOTE="Colmarr, post: 5854197, member: 59182"] [b]Session 5[/b] After subduing the Danoran mine foreman, Tok and Erik set about learning what he knew while Cassi guarded the passage and Thornt and Wilheim moved the injured Burton to higher ground. [COLOR=white]The Danoran explained that he had been hiding in the mine since the Duchess' forces invaded and had fired on RT3 because he heard them whispering in Risuri. Erik called him on that lie (he and Tok hadn't spoken as they entered the sea cave) and the Danoran reluctantly revealed two large gold coins on a thong around his neck. He explained that one of them allowed him to see in the dark, and surrendered the coins to RT3.[/COLOR] [COLOR=white]Having hauled Burton carefully up the ladders to the mine landing itself, Thornt and Wilheim joined the conversation.

For a moment he had imagined himself in a strange swamp, under a blue sun, surrounded yellow frogs.
