Nathan steps forward
"I'd like to take a shot!"

Jansson grins at the praise from the dwarf. He's deeply impressed by the gun.
"Gods, Tristam! That gun is a work of art!"
He turns to Osius.
"I wouldn't worry about it not being too stealthy. If all goes to plan, we'll not need to use it. And if things go awry, I doubt we'll be worrying about the noise. It's could well be very handy for getting us out of a tight spot."

"Alright." Tristam says, and hands the gun to Nathan. "Here."
Nathan aims, and fires. Again, there is a faint but noticeable purple-and-gray shimmer around the wielder of the gun as the weapon shoots.

Nathan shoots, and the gun narrowly misses the mark, hitting the wall at what appears to be a few bricks away.
"Good shot, but not good enough." Tristam says, taking the gun back. He proceeds to reload it. "I think that we have time enough for one more try. Who else will attempt it?"

"Well, I'd say Jansson is the man to carry the gun, then!"
Nathan slaps Jansson on the back in a congratulatory manner.

Tristam grumbles something inaudible, then addresses the group. "Alright then." He hands the weapon to Jansson, as well as a small horn, a wooden stand, and a bag with what sounds like metal marbles inside it. "We're off."
He leads you back to the gate, and with a yell to the gatekeeper, through them. He heads down the main road again, though this time he stops at the clocktower.
"Remember," He says quietly, "they can read your mind. Be careful of not only what you think, but also of what you say." He glances at Jansson. "And you be especially careful. They seem to not take well to guns, and they despise seeing them in their presence. Best not to get on their bad side."
With that, he leads you through the door of the clocktower, and up the stairs.
Once more, the scene at the top of the tower comes suddenly and unexpectedly. The walls of the building are still pulsating with color, though it seems to be more subdued.
The council is seated in their six thrones around the door. A man stands near the wall behind the chairs, and has a thoughtful - but perplexed - expression.
"Greetings, warriors." The blue speaks. "I expect that you had a good rest?"
The githyanki speaks, leaving almost no space between where the blue ended and she begins. "We have no time to answer your questions, I am afraid. We are simply reaffirming that you received Tristam's weapon, which it appears you did."
The halfling speaks. "You are to go down into the Thri-Kreen tunnels, and exterminate their leader. You are to take the crystal, and collect all letters and notes you can find in the leader's den, if it has one. You are then to return here and show us the crystal."
The goblin speaks. "This man here, Desimus-" He indicates the man standing near the wall, "-has volunteered his services. His abilities tend towards a... magical tendency. Hopefully, he will be of some assistance to you." As the goblin speaks, the man walks forward.
The githyanki resumes her tirade. "Now, you are a rather large group. Remember to be cautious down in the tunnels. Also-"
The human interrupts her. "We have brought the supplies you have requested, as well. Syld, we have also managed to recharge your drilbu, though it was a painstaking effort."
He stands up, and brings forward to you a small box. Within it, are six polished and black stones, as well as a bundle of twenty crossbow bolts. Three torches are also in the box, as well as a sunrod. He then goes back to his chair, pulls the drilbu out from behind it, and gives it to Syld. "I hope that you find that these wares are usable."
The githyanki glares at the human, but continues. "Also, you must hurry. Once the Thri-Kreen have realized their tunnels have been infiltrated, they will rush to destroy you. I would suggest making a map, so that you can easily find the way out once you procure the crystal."
The elf looks out the window. "You must hurry. The sun is rising. They will soon begin to awaken."
He leads you back to the gate, and with a yell to the gatekeeper, through them. He heads down the main road again, though this time he stops at the clocktower.

"I believe those are the powerstones of Darkvision."
Syld takes the crossbow bolts and the drilbu.
"I thank you for recharging it for me, it seems you had to suffer for it and I hope I will be able to repay you."
He then turns to the man presented to them.
"A magic user, eh... Well keep out of my way and we'll be just fine. I'll try to save your puny butt every now and then if it pleases me."
