Zeminny will chime In, " relieving the cult of the treasure is a great way to disrupt their plans. Maybe they are using the shiny gold to bribe or appease the dragons, who may punish them for us for failing to pay a tribute? I heard dragons can be like that"
Your plan works. The 5 cultists don't talk much and after about 15-20 minutes the reach some kind of shop that kinda looks like Ackyn's place. Calvin can get close enough to the leader of the 5 talk to the trader. It seems like they ask if they can sell their wagons, where to get new wagons north of the and how to pack merchandise and supplies onto the new wagons. In addition they ask for a curtained palanquin. This takes about 10 minutes. The trader tells them Ackyn Selebon can help him and he will arrange local porters to pack merchandise.
Soon the cultists leave, 4 of them carrying the palanquin. In the back one of them whispers "I hope Rezmir isn't as heavy as she looks". And the begin to make their way back to the wagons. (20-25 minutes)
Well, I suppose Calvin will come back to us to report, brought by Isidore?
If so, Khessa is relieved: "Well, as expected, they want to continue with wagons. So our employers, by joining the caravan, will allow us to follow them. Plus, they have been addressed to Ackyn; I would say first of all to go and warn him".
"It would have been nice to steal their treasure while they were carrying it through the city..." continues the blonde arcane warrior "but Zale didn't find any criminal contacts to talk to... not to mention that maybe there wouldn't have been time to arrange everything".
"Knowing they want a curtained palanquin to carry Rezmir," smiles the tall adventuress "I'd really like to play some tricks, like setting fire to it (and thus to Rezmir) from a distance while being carried down some alley... But probably the actual damage done to the Cult would be minimum, while from then on they would know that an enemy is watching them... better rather let them suspect nothing and follow them. Perhaps we will have a better chance to sabotage their plans later on".
Zeminny will laugh at the thought of tricks…” too bad someone doesn’t have a spell to make Rezmir so heavy they break the palanquin and fall in the dirt…that would be sooooo funny”

"Truth to be told an Enlarge spell could do the trick," laughs Khessa, patting Zeminny on the shoulder "but holds what I said before - they would be aware of a threat, after that. It's not woth it".
No, I had him follow the Cultists with Calvin (from greater distance) to be of help in case of trouble... Anator will come back with Calvin and Isidore, I'd say.
"Indeed" laugh the dwarf "but it would be just a silly way to attract their attention. I would say, we should warn Ackyn, he will make us to be hired as guards by the cult, so we can join their caravan, we could be able to gather further informations and hit where it hurts more"
"I agree with Khessa," Zale states, "While all that would be mighty hilarious, it would sabotage our plans more than it would theirs. For now, we be best off focusin on gettin them to trust us, even if that means we do nothing but gather information."
Calvin does return to the group and informs them of what he has discovered. He will also consider whether he has heard the name Rezmir before.
(History: 7)
Well... if at the Cave counts as 'before', you have at least read that name on a note in the cave: 'Everything must be freighted north to Naerytar. Rezmir allowed us to keep some pearls, a ring, and a handful of small stones'. She'll probably be another Wearer of Purple, like Frulam was - maybe only higher in rank, since, according to the note, it was up to her to 'allow' or not something.

That and Leosin told you she's the Black Wyrmspeaker.

I'm pretty sure Isidore will be gentle! She brings Calvin then? Shall we go on?
“So we are planning on traveling with the caravan and the cult… what if the cult doesn’t travel with the caravan?”
"I guess they are going to need a caravan to carry all the treasure, do you think they could use another way? a boat perhaps?" asks the dwarf.
Nixi will ask Isidore to carry Calvin gently wherever he wants to go.

Zale grins at Zeminny, "I likes the way ye think me friend."

I would assume so. Is Anator still keeping an eye on the caravan?

So... back to Ackyn? Or something else?
Player: Any Good Alignment // DM: Lawful Evil
Khessa has nothing more interesting to do at the moment... she'd say back to Ackin.
