They told him pretty much everything about us. By the Silver Flame, what possessed them to do such a thing I do not know. I am sure they are not stupid and know that burning Killian would burn my chances of getting anymore information or help from him. Not to mention, that Killian has not even broken any laws. Changelings, while I do not approve, roam around looking like other people all day long. Also, until the day we saw Killimon, we had no clue who he was. Killian never claimed to be of house Sivis, in fact he didn’t even use the same name. Six agrees to go to Killimon and tell him to hold off on targeting Killion until fifteen minutes after the meeting starts.</p><p></p><p>We split apart and I head down to try and recruit Gorlick, who does not seem to take to my suggestion to get his help. In fact, he pretty much threatened me and then told me to scamper off.

I guess saying my need to meet with someone is urgent does not count for much. I leave and return to the inn.</p><p></p><p>At the inn, Bodo provides me with a number of documents for possible schools. I will review them later to make sure they are appropriate. The group speaks up and says that Bodo should just join us, and I argue the point. They do not understand, and I am adamant, I will not allow this boy to enter a dangerous situation at such a young age. He will need to get an education, a trade and if he desires to then adventure he is welcome, but this will take time – years in fact. Luna tries to assert that I think I own Bodo, but her naïve ways apparently does not permit her to see what is going on – she can’t, as much as she claims she can, fully protect Bodo and I will not put a child at risk. Bodo has the option, he can stay go back to the streets or he can stay with me. Staying with me requires that he follows my rules. If he does not like this, he always has the first option.</p><p></p><p>We finish dinner, and the argument about Bodo, and head down to the Casino. Killian is waiting for us. He gives us more information about Bhorak, and even says he has a guide for us. Killian then goes on to his terms of payment and what the group will owe him. I quickly, and sharply, remind him that the group will owe him nothing – that I, and I alone will owe him, as long as his information produces results. Killian then asks why the other group is helping me. I hoped their answer would have been “because we are a team” but really there is answer is half-hearted, and Nameless, which I should not be surprised, answers because of potential profits. Luna’s naïve answer, and she apparently cannot get it through her head, is that I can get any old sword and this should not be a big deal. What is so hard to understand that I am bonded to this sword, and it is bonded to me? Its soul is a part of my soul. Killian then suggests that we pay him a percentage of the exploits from this trip, and I inform him that his only payment is what I will owe him and if he wants more he will have to join the group. Besides, we already have four extra members who will get a portion of the trip.</p><p></p><p>As Killian is about to leave, I honestly try and break the meeting off quickly, Kylyman walks in and what happens is not what I expect. Apparently the two know each other and Killian changes back into his, presumed, original form – although we do not find out his real name we get a part of it “Thur…” Killian questions us about this and I answer that I did not inform Kylyman about him, nor have I even met Kylyman until now. Killian does not believe us, and in my honest opinion I don’t doubt his reasonable suspicions. We are probably the only people he uses this disguise on. To be on the safe side, I detect evil on both of them and get some offending words. Neither detects as evil, and to be honest, I am tired of these games of illusion and lies. If they will play these games, then they will know that I have resources to draw upon. Although these two are offended by my detect evil, they are not offended by Nameless’ detect evil – I find this strange.</p><p></p><p>We take our leave, and I am all too-happy to go.

I stay up the rest of the night, praying, and when the group wakes up we realize Six is gone. We find out that he left to look for some information. Luna, at this point, suggests that we all leave notes where we plan to go to, before we leave, and I add that we should check in every six or so hours. This way, if someone does get hurt, we will know to look for them.</p><p></p><p>We sit down and have breakfast, quietly, and then Lalia and Tasra stop by.

We talk about the mission, and Tasra says she will not go down, but Lalia says she would like to. Lalia then asks me if I would like to have dinner with her, and I tell her I would be delighted. On the way out Lalia comes up to ask to see Luna in private. I am a bit surprised; I did not know they were friends.

I leave the decision to Corven, who gives some objections. Nameless convinces Corven that Flim can turn around and get us some information. This is a good point. We have absolutely no reason to help the local media out. Giving them information does nothing positive for us, except *potentially* a better reputation, though it could be a worse reputation.
