Stalked back. Kicked the chair. He was muttering, punctuated occasional with a burst of "I can't believe those bastards didn't come back!"Greppa was not happy. Had he not devised spells of furious destruction for them? Had he not spent countless hours practicing maneuvers with Uripedas? Had he not... He kicked the chair again, knocking it over, then absent-mindedly stooped and picked it up before continuing his stalking.Merideth watched Greppa from the only safe chair in the room, cheek firmly pressed against heel of palm. He'd been ranting most of the morning after the victory party, and Merideth was waiting for it to die down so she could get back on the topic of teleporting wine barrels. That, or heal him if he hurt himself kicking furniture bigger than he was.Bellos finally arrived, trundling through the door with Uridates in tow. The two had practically cleaved together when they met, well matched in both diverse talents and raw avarice, and once the summer was over Bellos had spent some fair amount of time in planning with the merchant.Bellos ignored the disarrayed furniture, "Well, are we ready?"The Road NorthWith a wagon full of wine bottles, Uridates had insisted that there be no outward change in his actions this year, the party headed north. With just the four of them (Uridates foregoing his usual mercenaries in favor of "heroes of Theralis"), the made good time... until they spotted a red-throated hydra, and it spotted them. With a half-growl, half-bleat, it began waddling as fast as it could towards what looked like an excellent food source.Watching it approach, the group was airborne within a few seconds, and it finally arrived and stared up at them mournfully. One of the heads on the left gave a little bleat, almost as if to say, "Please come down food! I am hungry!"The food didn't budge, and Greppa threw some sun streaks at it until finally it wandered off. It looked nearly heart-broken. When it was gone, they grabbed the wagon and trudged on.AglaonisUridates introduced Greppa to his wine cellar, purchased during the summer months after the party had discussed their plan with him, and Greppa introduced the lantern archons who dealt with him the most.Allas seemed pleased for her servants to aid the scions to wealth and political power, so within moments, the cellar was filled with nearly four times what Uridates had brought with him. The poor man looked like his heart would burst.After the business was taken care of, the group grabbed an inn room to wait on Uridates finishing his sales, and Greppa was approached by two elderly gentlemen of Aglaonis - they wanted to know if he would hire on temporarily to drive off some orcs as he had the year prior.Greppa just smiled.</blockquote>
