Harshnag nods, looking over the relics you've procured. "This gold-plated tooth is a relic of Duke Zalto, that's for sure. And the broken porcelain mask has got to be for Countess Sansuri of the cloud giants, if you would rather take them on."
Harshnag looks off in the distance, and then nods. "Duke Zalto is an evil bastard. I would enjoy helping you take him down, if you'll let me accompany you?"
"Zalto it is. Cut the head off the snake, the body dies. Not that I have much love for dragons either, but at least they aren't organizing for war and crushing the little folk in their way." Umbriel collects the other artifacts and moves them away, then hands the gold tooth to Harshnag.
Baeshra nods, "I agree Zalto should be our main target, but should he be our first? We can either weaken him by eliminating his weaker allies first, or we can try and catch him by surprise by attacking him first and demoralizing his allies. I like surprise, what about all of you?"
Ireniana crosses her arms and nods "I like the idea of Zalto being our main target and it's smarter to go after his weaker allies. The only issue is if he finds out we're taking out his friends, he might come after us first."

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
"Zalto it is. Cut the head off the snake, the body dies. Not that I have much love for dragons either, but at least they aren't organizing for war and crushing the little folk in their way." Umbriel collects the other artifacts and moves them away, then hands the gold tooth to Harshnag.
Harshnag shakes his head and doesn't take the tooth. "Oh, you better put it in the circle, you all are the ones who did the work to recover the relics."
"As my father would say... in hunting, as in lift little Nyx, sometimes the thing that you need most isn't that which you went looking for. Zalto needs to be stopped, but the idea of removing his allies is good. And if we have a skyship at our disposal, we can target where we wish and move rapidly between them, a lot faster than Zalto would think."
Harshnag looks confused. "All you need to get to King Hekaton's court to root out the evil there and find King Hekaton is a Magic Conch from one of the giant lords, right? Restore Hekaton to the head of the Ordning, and he will deal with the rest of the Giant Lords."
"Sweet bread... kind of. You would love it Baeshra, the elves make some very nice cake... and bread for that matter as well. My people, we tend to just consume it, rather than make it."
"So seeing we have a axe to grind with the Duke, we are going to dethrone him and then Hekaton can deal with the rest."
OCC: By the way, are the Cult and the airship just waiting around for us to how our pow wow?

Umbriel pauses then, to give everyone a chance to weigh in on their immediate goal.

Ireniana nods. "So we just need to find the giant lord with the a giant conch."
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
"Then if not Duke Zalto first, which artifact should we use?"
Harshnag grunts. "Each of the giant lords has a magic conch so they can quickly get to King Hekatons court even they are summoned. "
Lyngheid grunted, " Right, so lets go. Smack Zalto until he gives us his magic sea shell then use it to go to Hekaton.....piece of cake."
" Well.....except for all the fire giants that will try and kill us."
Baeshra looks at Lyngheid, "Yes, remove Zalto, fix giants. And what is 'cake'?"
" Very fancy bread.........sort of........"
"Sweet bread... kind of. You would love it Baeshra, the elves make some very nice cake... and bread for that matter as well. My people, we tend to just consume it, rather than make it."

Yep, the Cult and airship are waiting outside the Eye of the All Father.
Gathering that the consensus seemed to be to go after Duke Zalto, Umbriel places the gold plated tooth in the center and steps back.
