Alcashia looks at Grishkar's hand then to his face without emotion. "All Tieflings were told of this legend at a young age, and some even try to find it. None have, but we all believe it exists. Apparently the weapons were created for our gods to fight the Celestials, in some war long before any current Tiefling was born. After the war was over, the weapons were destroyed because no one other than a Tiefling god can wield one. But it is told a recipe was written down for a mortal version of the weapons. Still immensely powerful."

Lyssma clucks her tongue. "It's not meant for mortals to be playing with things of the gods," she says. "Fortunately for me, I don't believe the Tiefling gods to be gods. So it works out in the end."
"Hah. They're gods, alright. But enough about that. If this old woman speaks truth, then we will need these weapons. So, what do we do? I say pretend to help her while really we raze her city, get the information, and head off to Shadow Forge."

"Power is subjective. If it can make god-killing weapons for tieflings, it can make them for others as well." Grishkar turns his fiery blue orb of an eye back to the old woman, "Now, show us where this place is."

"All these promises just to save a city. I have a better idea, though: You lead us to where we're going." Grishkar taps his staff to the ground lightly and its enchantments resonate through his senses, revealing any magic present in this old woman.

The old lady looks at the map for a minute before pointing a little to the southeast of where you're current location, to the middle of a forest. As Grishkar casts his spell, he senses little magic from the lady, hardly a threat to any of you. At your question she frowns and says, "Do I look like I can trek leagues to show you a city? If so, I must look better than I think." She laughs lightly. She then points the the west coast, a weeks walk from your location. "That's where you need to go. That's my home."

Gorgox speaking through the gem so the party can hear, but the hag can't asks "Alcashia, what do you think, is this worth two weeks or more from your goal of taking over these cities?"
"Hmm... These weapons could prove invaluable... Besides, we're going to a city. We can take it over, then lie to her after we get the information. I say we go for it."

"Never trust the elderly. When people know their mortality, they must be handled with a firm hand." Grishkar's fiery blue eye flared and simmed impassively, "She can't make the trip to her own home? Well, I must say this is a trap if I'd ever heard one."

Lyssma nods. "Well I'm ready to go. We can just let the seeds I've planted here work themselves out." Sounding almost gleeful, she adds, "And when we return, we can see what has happened! Oh, I can hardly wait."

Gorgox thinks that such a sword or possibly a dagger would be a great tool in his line of work.
"I can point to it on a map, if that would help."

Yes that would help greatly! Gorgox replies.
"Any of you got a map?"
