The Gods Hate Us

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"It was a ridiculous warning, and then we were attacked with no provication. We were simply going around the city. You had better come up with a reason as to why you're here, and who you are," Ruslan snaps irritably. The pendant makes him uneasy, and he makes a mental note to see how it responds to being dipped in acid.

Lou's weapon easily punctures the building, though at least it seems to be made of wood. Despite this, the woman seems to take no notice. She sighs(which is even stranger than her speaking) and 'speaks' again, albiet sounding more rushed.

"It is unfortunate that you approach this with weapons that will do you no good. They are stonger than each of you. But they have the same failings. Might makes right for them..." she paused, glancing over her shoulder as if she heard something, but quickly turns back, "You must outthink those who cannot be beaten. Though you have fallen into their trap, know that there are many layers to it. You can still climb out. But be weary. The walls are also trapped."

And then she was gone. How she left, it was impossible to tell. It was more that she was there...and then not there. There was no transition or in between.

Oskar asks the group, Well, what now?

"We're leaving, of course. The walls may be trapped, but the sky might not be," Ruslan says smugly, gesturing to the flying carpet he's sitting on.

Walls, sky, traps - whateverrr the ugly female was talking about is inconsequential now. By herrr hasty deparrrturrre, I would assume we do the same beforrre whateverrr she rrran frrrom arrrrives. He looks to where Lousin had smashed the wooden wall. Let's make an opening for us who cannot "fly", so that we may at least trrry to hide orrr find a less obvious escape rrroute? That said, the little Grippli warrior stashes Sender into it's harness and draws Widow's Tongue and continues working on the area that Lousin had mashed already.

"Watch it, wizard. If our enemy is so powerful as they say, I'm pretty sure they have something nasty reserved for those trying to simply fly away," Baril says to Ruslan.

Without more delay Baril climbs on top of a nearby building. Once up there, he looks in the same direction the strange woman was looking just before she vanished. He tries to stay hidden while doing so.

Lousin with the Grippli make the little hole into a big hole throwing wood and materials into the air. "How do we know if out there is any better then in here?"

Baril:

Spoiler

You reach the top of the building without too much trouble, noting that it is at least sturdy enough despite whatever it may be made of. From the top, you notice that you can't actually see outside the town anymore. When you look towards the walls, everything beyond becomes blurry and strangely faded.

It only take a few more good cuts to tear open the whole in the building. Looking within, a perfectly empty, wood covered room can be seen. Its large enough to be good for any tavern, but there is nothing within at all. And though there looks to be a second floor, there are no stairs.

"What ever do you mean, dear Pasbit? Are you implying that I would leave you behind to rot?" Ruslan says sarcastically to the grippli. However, he nods at Baril's words. "That occured to me as well, unfortunetly. But, nothing ventured, nothing gained."

*With that, Ruslan and Igor will slowly rise on their carpet, seeing if the sky is trapped.*

Oskar looks in the hole that has been made in the "building". He then grumbles something mostly unintelligible, but which includes the words beer, ale, and lager.
