[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6199753, member: 9255"] JOHN PLAY “06 PLAY INTO THE ENEMY’S HANDS” SEGMENT 88 “SECOND EXPLORATION” RHAAN 22, 997 “The medusa’s ring? The one from her serpent hair?” Exclaims Play. “It would be nice to begin with.” Replies the ½ orc as he continues his work. “How did you know about it. I didn’t include it in my report.” “Nadia did. Lucan hinted at it.” “It could just be a ring of detect minerals or the such.” “Then you have no issues beginning the trade with it.” “Cue- after all of these years….. doesn’t that mean anything?” Cue smiles. He knows what the ring is. It would help his work a great deal having a ring of wishes. “The clubs are wonderful. I saw them last night in person. They have a unique shape and design. They appear to be hardened wood but as hard as iron. They move through the air as if immune to its tug and pull.” Play leaves his friend behind. He knows Cue is playing with him. Eventually he’ll get the clubs. But until then, he has a job to do. Once more he goes down into the Cogs. And once more the warforged now known as ‘Bob’ waits for him. Play notes that several warforged stare at him from a distance. They seem no longer curious about him but instead distasteful of him. “What’s up Bob?” “Sir?” “Your fellow warforged seemed to be unhappy with me being down here. Why?” “You bring distrust.
