[QUOTE="extralead, post: 7295320, member: 6899775"] Suggest a level of misdirection with Eku when it comes to both Nangalore and the Heart of Ubtao. If the party can convince her to go into either of these areas, Eku will play it cool. The adversaries will also play it cool. In other words, Nangalore will be bright and shiny. There's no chance to discover hallucinogenic plants or get into a fight with even as much as a garden snake with Eku on the grounds. Eku and Zalkore will talk politely, revealing how they met and some history. Yes, Zalkore will have a veil, and yes, she'll ring her silver handbell, summon some elbis to offer the party fruit and wine plates (non-poisoned this time around), etc. Nothing can happen except for talk. The same situation could occur with Valindra. Eku plays it cool; Valindra plays it cool. They talk, some history comes up, and maybe the players will think to ask a question or two -- none that could start a riot, however. Maybe Eku asks about the teleportation circle and gets the players to copy the sigils while Valindra bites her tongue. Everyone is on tip toes, and it feels awkward, but a wave of peace and armistice carries over these situations. In Mbala, though, Eku all-but polymorphs into a stegosaurus to tail-slam Nanny Pu'pu into the ground. Eku hates her. Eku knows that she can take Pu'pu and she knows that the party can, too. The others above are more of a stalemate -- and neither side will risk dying -- and neither side will reveal their secrets. [/QUOTE]
