In the corner of the tavern, Janos and Lela appear again. Janos turns to his construct and they have a quick conversation (anyone understanding the Thayan variant of Mulhorandi knows it's about the dead bard, the rakshaka and the help of the barkeep).
"My companions" Janos speaks, neglecting the fact that he was away while the bard got killed, "it is most unfortunate that one of our number has fallen victem to these beasts. I am sorry if I offend people by saying this, but sneaking off with waitresses is not a very professional way of doing business, especially not when it is such an important one."
"I don't know what you all think, but, personally, I don't think we have time on our side. A journey taking days is, I think, out of the question. During that trip, our enemy may already succeed by obtaining what it seeks. At the moment, however, we do have an advantage over our the beasts that have killed Ilalielthin: we know what we are up against, but they do not. I have the means to transport myself, instantly, to the location, if I know where it happened."
"I was talking about avenging Ilalielthin, but I should ask your opinion too. What would you think best? If we just want to bring him back, Lela will be able to do so. If we want to capture those beasts, or, as I suggested, avenge Ilalielthin, I could do so, but, of course, at the expense of some spells."
"I vote for revenge. I did not know him well, but it will serve as a warning for whoever thinks about killing us, that we *will* strike back. Swiftly ... precise ... deadly."
Janos looks around and waits to see what the others think.
[DM, I will update Janos ASAP, but I was unable to find Greater Contingency. Chain Contingency I did find...]
