[FitzTheRuke]

"If you are lying, my friend the dwarf will split your head in twain. Take us there now!" insisted Aremus, giving Ordrar a sharp look.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tranio watches as his companions threaten the cultist leader. He is mistrustful of any promises he might make. As a result, he says nothing, as he makes a quick inspection of the room and the bodies, before they follow the surviving cultist.

As the others interrogate the cultist leader, Dren moves to aid Tranio search the bodies and the area around the altar.

"OK. You survive. Tell us where it is, we're not going to blindly trust you." Ordrar takes the rope from his kit and binds the cultists hands behind.
To the group
"Do we search this place first? Just in case this one is trying to distract us from something important here. What did you do here anyway?" he asks the cultist

 

[seriousmoonlight]

The cultist doesn't struggle as his hands are tied, but continues to glare at the party. "Be warned, the route I know goes dangerously close to the lair of Olthanas' pet. I sincerely hope it is out hunting right now or this will be a short trip." The bound man then scoffs at Ordrar's question. "It is a temple. Obviously we were here to pray."

The party is able to determine the massive cloud giant statue on the altar is of Memnor, the same evil god whose banners fly below the ship. The slain cultists have nothing of value on them.

 

[Charwoman Gene]

"What manner of beast is Olthanas' pet? Youre not gonna get away with just dropping that out there without explaining."

 

[FitzTheRuke]

"Yes, agreed Aremus, "And be quick about it. We must move with all haste."

 

[seriousmoonlight]

A smile forms across the prisoner's face. "A white dragon. Not fully grown, but bigger than I'm sure any of you will like."

If allowed, the cultist would then lead the group back outside and to stone walkway that ends as an observation plank over the edge of the clouds. The culist would step over the edge, but he does not fall. Rather, the scenery ripples like a mirage as he steps into the unknown.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Aremus followed the man closely, not trusting him even a little.

 

[Neurotic]

Ordrar, still bound to the cultist, follows immediately after him. He thinks, too late, that he should have insisted on his question.
