[QUOTE="ajanders, post: 2955081, member: 3271"] Michael rides/drifts back by Hulgyr and to the outside of the group. A cynic might think he was positioning himself to intercept Hulgyr if he ran off again. An optimist would suggest Michael could slap a Bull's Strength on Hulgyr as he ran past without making him break stride. Michael remains studiedly neutral on the question. "If we could go down and talk, then get back, it would be best. But I don't see how we can all do that well. As Almayce said, we are a distinctive and heavily armed group." Michael seems somewhat provoked at being referred to as a 'circus freak'. "One or two of us could go down...say, two wandering clerics seeking to succour the needy. If that went badly, the rest of you could rescue us. That's the only way I can see to get information out of them." Michael winces, remembering what happens when Hulgyr and Zaeryl get involved in diplomacy. "I'm willing to risk it, but if nobody else thinks it's a good idea, I'll drop it. In that case, let's skirt Kinthriver entirely." Michael grits his teeth and makes a decision. "And Mikel? Thanks for all your help. May Sela support you, shelter you, and protect you." The "you"'s are faintly emphasized: Michael evidently has not forgotten nor yet forgiven Bainlunder Lodge. [/QUOTE]
