[QUOTE="Tecklenburg, post: 6589786, member: 6781356"] When she says the last bit about swearing an oath to the people of Giliad's Rest, I'm thinking "...you also swore an oath to the Summer Queen that you would ensure no Far Realm threat to the Feywild is realized..." But I don't dare say it when I see the fire and emotion in her eyes. She has to do this and now. But there must be a middle way because the dragon won't have it. I help her in applying the salves and bandages and smile while I do so. "You will go to the Coldlands and find these refugees. I will go with the dragon and route our enemies at World's End." If she looks like she is going to speak up and protest, I will hush her gently. "It must be this way. It must." With the last I nod at the dragon and its frenzy so that she understands what I mean. "I will implore Exel and Xanob to go with you. It is just a few moment's worth of flight. They'll come around." When the dragon makes his demands of us, I'll stand up from where Saerie and I are seated. I turn to the dragon and say. "I will go with you. Together, we can easily dispatch our mutual foes. I promised that we would end the threat to your reign together. It will be fulfilled." I'll look at Saerie. "But they go to the Coldlands, which was our half of the deal. The cause there is as immediate as this cause and cannot wait. You promised you would fly them there. It will be a matter of minutes on your back but a day by foot and by hand." I hold Saerie's hand and lift her to her feet. "This 'she-elf', as you called her, slew one of the aboleths you were fighting, freeing you from its clutches. For her efforts, she was burned terribly by the Remorhaz. In your vast hoard, there is no doubt a potion that would heal her wounds. That is a pittance for her role in defeating your enemies." I won't calm their concerns. In their tongue I say, "...you asked for 'glorious battle' and you received it. You pledged yourselves to us. Saerie needs you now and the only thing preventing further glorious battle is a short ride on the back of a dragon. You both faced death several times over since you've been with us. You are not cowardly. Kord would want to see you on the back of that dragon's back and venturing boldy into the Coldlands to vanquish more enemies in his name." [sblock]Hireling (Loyalty) 6, 2 + 1= 9 They do it for now, but come back with serious demands later. Meet them or the hireling quits on the worst terms.[/sblock] I'll let Binks sort the dog out, agree or disagree, and finalize this thing. If we part ways here, I'll promise to see her in a few days time. I'll ask her to leave me trail signs and I'll track them as swiftly as I'm able. When the dragon returns from dropping them off, I'll ask him what he saw beneath the deep waters of this runoff reservoir. Was there a structure? A gate? Why are they here? And why now? I'd like to know more and possibly get my hands on aboleth records, writings, prophecies...if they keep such things? EDIT - I empty my quiver in there somewhere and place my arrows in Saerie's quiver. + 3 Ammo [MENTION=6775039]Binks[/MENTION].
