[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5280696, member: 60965"] Session 31, Part 9 Kormak blinked rapidly, sniffed repeatedly, and sneezed. He wiped his eyes and looked around the small, dusty room they stood in. It looked like the nicest room in an upscale inn but with a couple years of dust on everything. And Harold in the corner with a bow aimed at them. “Hi Harold, I see not much has changed,” Kormak said. Bail growled, reaching for his weapon. “Stop it everyone,” Suniel said, stepping between them. “Harold, it's us, put your bow away.” Harold stared at them with wild eyes for several seconds then lowered the bow slowly. “What's going on here?” Suniel said. “What happened to the Stone, the Skyland?” “Why are you dressed like some sort of rich man's guard. I remember you with more stuff too,” Kormak added. “I'm working on recovering everything right now,” Harold growled. “And keep your voices down. There's invisible assassins everywhere, they could be listening right now!” Kormak blinked at that and looked around. “Invisible assassins stole the Stone, the Skyland, and your stuff?” “Yes!” Harold hissed. “I've burned down the officer's barracks and have a maid in my pocket that's going to help me bring Hadral down. With you here, I can speed up my plan.” Bail raised his hands. “Stop. Do we know where the Stone and the Skyland are?” “I know where my things are, we just have to get the key Hadral has on a necklace around her neck, then use it in a door to go to the extra-dimensional place where she's hidden my weapons and armor.” Kormak exchanged a worried look with Bail. “Did you get hit in the head at some point?” “Yes! That's why I need my things, so I can avenge myself on these Black City savages and show them why you don't betray the Crystal Towers!” “So, we're supposed to help you kill some lady, defeat her army of invisible assassins – with the help of a maid, of course – so that you can get vengeance? Will this help us find the True Stone?” Kormak said. “Once we've taken out Hadral, we can track down the Skyland and the True Stone. Then we can head to the Red City – they say it's further west and they're at war with the Black City. Maybe they are the allies I need for the Crystal Towers.” Harolds eyes had a mad, fanatical gleam to them that Kormak found disturbing and, by the looks on Bail and Suniel's faces, he wasn't alone in the sentiment. “Harold, I know the Crystal Towers is important to you, but we're almost out of time. There's reports of Iron Sky attacking all across Felskein and-” Suniel began. “I don't care about Iron Sky!” Harold shouted. “Without the Crystal Towers, this continent isn't worth saving! Don't you see that? If the Crystal Towers falls, let Iron Sky have it for all I care!” There was a strained moment of silence. “Let's at least get out of here where we can plan something out without fear of anyone overhearing us,” Suniel said. “I have a plan to get the True Stones we need, an ancient spell that will help us track down all the others on Felskein. Let's go back to Port, we can always come back here later.” He nodded to Bail and Kormak as he held his hand out to Bail. Bail took it and Kormak's hand as Suniel reached out and put a hand on Harold's shoulder. Suniel murmured the words to a familiar spell as Harold shouted, “no, my plans here!” A second later they were back in the Coach House, Suniel's hand outstretched into the open space where Harold should have been. Suniel shook his head. “Harold slapped my hand off his shoulder at the last second. Looks like we'll have to implement my plan on our own. I just need a day to rest and finish researching the spell.” “Good riddance,” Bail grumbled. Kormak realized with a start that he had something appropriate to the situation in his pocket. He pulled out a carving No Tongue had given him a couple days ago that he'd forgotten about since, setting it on the table between them. The carving was of the three of them standing around a table, holding hands, Suniel's hand outstretched as though reaching for someone that wasn't there. Just then No Tongue himself walked in and the three of them turned to stare at the goblin. No Tongue's eyes widened as they looked at him and he grinned as he looked back. “Maaaaasssteeer,” he said in a long sing-song note. He did a little spastic dance, bowed, then turned and walked out of the room. “We live in interesting times,” Bail said. Kormak and Suniel nodded their agreement then dispersed to make their preparations. [/QUOTE]
