Glorio takes Mhairi's hand and kisses it whilst executing a courtly bow. "Not goodbye, I trust," he says. "Merely until next we meet." The open metallic spiral stairs wind down and down, ending on a ledge in a large cavern with cool moist air. The ledge arcs in a semicircle around a central...

Menexes utters a command in dwarven and his Copper dwarves move to form a line barring entry. Another Cobalt dwarf is felled by the axe of one of the Copper dwarves barring the entrance, and then they begin to retreat back down the tunnel. Of those stuck on Arcata's grease spell, one manages to...

Kraken regards the crystal. "We should at least put it somewhere safer, eh?" he says. "Where we can get to it easier. Let's get it to the other side of the glass, and see if our new mucker there knows where the other three are." He gives Hendrick a friendly thumbs up.

After a quick trip to re-arm and resupply, a more battle-ready group returns to Palace Arkona, where Glorio and Carnochan are there to meet them. "Good, you look much more dangerous," says Glorio. "I'll show you to the entrance." He leads the group through to a walled garden, roofed over in...

OOC: Just checked the initiative sequence - I thought Arcata had cast her grease spell this round, but it was last round, so it's actually Shayuri up next before all the dwarves.

OOC: Yeah, I probably forgot to mention it each time - you can still choose to cause nonlethal damage if you have Improved Unarmed Strike. It doesn't matter much either way - if there's no other specific prep you want to make, the next post I put up will either be the group setting off...

As Bastian moves to defend Arcata, Sh'aah carves a bloody swathe through the cobalt dwarf vanguard. The incursion is bottlenecked at the entrance, hampered by Arcata's grease spell. Sh'aah's attack takes down C6 and C7. Next up Comoray Everyone else.

"Reckon that thing was controlling all the other tentacles in this place?" asks Kraken. "Or have we got another eldritch abomination to deal with, eh?" OOC: Was there any resemblance between the alien squid thing and the controller tentacles?

OOC: I'm pretty sure that the Shinglesnipes were only delivering non-lethal damage.

"You can begin whenever you like," says Glorio. "I guess the sooner the better. Let me know when you are ready and I'll show you the entrance to the labyrinth. As for weaponry, Master Mer'Cauthon, you may need it, as long as you only use it in the labyrinth and not in my house, you won't hear me...

"We've got provisions enough to see us to Oksa at least," says Ying. "The rest depends on where you're headed. Tell me that at least and I'll let you know. Unless you're wanting to leave Llaza in a hurry, in which case we'll get it when we stop at Port Linlin." He glances at Blue. "Four of you...

Glorio holds Mhairi's gaze a fraction longer than necessary. "And I'm glad to have you on my side," he says. Looking back to include the men in the conversation he continues. "As I said, the situation with Vencarlo is ... complicated. Both he and Neolandus are in safe-keeping, you might say. We...

Ying looks around at his crew and then back at Hang with one eyebrow raised. "Ying Wu," he says, "Captain of this fair vessel." He indicates the Moa-Ruaki with a sweep of his arm. "Tara-Ki, first mate, and this," his arm moves round to the ti-kop, "is Kop, our bo'sun. And this sorry lot," he...

Glorio's smile broadens and he laughs. "I think I can work with that," he says. "Pilts Swastel isn't going anywhere for the time being." He looks over to Mhairi. "And what do you think?" he asks.

The next day the group (Shem tags along too, even if not specifically invited) heads down to east dock to find the Shadow Lark. When they do, it's apparent that Lady C's generosity knows many bounds - the Lark is a plain looking two-masted junk that looks just barely large enough to be...

Glorio Arkona looks a little crestfallen for a moment. "Pity," he says. "I would have thought that the man who finally brought Gaedrann Lamm to justice wouldn't have balked at the opportunity to remove a man like Swastel from power - a man, I might point out, that likes to kidnap innocent...

Brother Comoray's arm is surely guided by Gammerack Stonebreaker, or maybe Saint Ecillieve as the strike cuts deeply into the substance of the smoke-snake, and the creature evaporates into nothingness. The dwarves that were fighting it give sighs of relief and one or two of them give the priest...

OOC: Ideally, Kraken needs to make a "castling" move with Midian, swapping places with a 5ft step. If he can do so: "Shift your arse, Middo," says Kraken, moving past his friend to get closer to the tentacles. "Got a bundle of raw pain to deliver." He does so with three supernaturally rapid...
