Of Jungle Deeps and Ocean Depths

Tiana

"So, is there any way around the serpent without fighting it?" Tiana asks after listening to Undinar and Irongut speak. "Like Undinar said, we just need some of that sacred water, we don't need to upset the guardian, if that's possible at all."

Invelion nods at Tiana in agreement.

"Maw big enough to swallow five whole in one gulp, tail that can knock you into the sky, and a fiery tongue that boils you to death. Sounds pretty tough to me. Perhaps Rappai can communicate with it, though. It's worth a shot, at least."

"As a precaution, I have a minor spell which can protect us against fire, but I will need to rest to prepare it. It's not that powerful a spell, but I will prepare it for as many here as want it. Are we resting here, or moving on?"
 

"Maybe you could git aroun' it..." Ironguts considers, and then looks at Seraphina. She nods and smiles. "If yer just lookin' fer the spring... Seraphina's people know a way to get pretty close without disturbin' 'im. They have some caves that go near, they use 'em t' go t' one o' their shrines. Ye might have to hold 'im off a bit, but you wouldn't have to fight him long to git t' where you're going," Ironguts offers.
 

[Sorry for my long absence. My life is a bit complicated by now.]

"Mmm, the beast don't ever sleep? Can't we trade somethin' for the water? And what if one o' Seraphina's people go take it? The beast gonna attack him too?"

Harry is clearly not keen on the idea of 'holding off' a creature that dangerous. Usually he prefers more... stealthy approaches.
 

"I think it might be best to discuss this with Seraphina's people, unless you speak for them Mr. Irongut. If that is the case then no offence was meant, but they might best know what they can offer in the way of assistance. I would not want to ask too much without dealing with them directly." Undinar says, not liking where the conversation is going, with Harry's father promising things from other people.
 

"Th' beast is clever-like, but it ain't smart. Ye can't trade wit it. But ye kin ask Seraphina's people yerself, if ye be minded to. Come on, back in t' pipe we go!" Irongut says with a laugh, pointing to the sideways waterfall. Seraphina simply smiles at the others, waving a hand in reassurance.
 

Rappai, Grippli Cleric

Rappai listened to the interactions, waiting for their resolution. She knew that the group would be going to meet Seraphina's people after everything was resolved.

'Sometimes Rappai believes it is difficult being a seer,' Rappai thought. She nodded at Jarrijan, indicating it was time to go.
 

Undinar returned Seraphina's smile and took the lead, jumping back into the sideways waterfall first. He sincerely hoped that her people might be of some help in this as attacking such a legendary creature sounded like it would be something to avoid.
 


"You would have thought these people could come up with a more civilised way of travelling around the place..." Mourn grumbles to Thorik. The weasel chuckles at the comment, sending ripples along the length of it's near-transparent body.

"Ah well, here goes..." Mourn holds his nose and once more steps forwards into the waterfall.
