Jill was, to say the least, not a huge fan of the fact that they were going closer to the demons who were interrogating nutsack, but at least Misha was able to catch up with them. And while Fetchtatter was trying to get her to **** off, Jill quickly turned around and waved at Nok, Amy, and Seph to get the **** down here.

Amelia begrudgingly joins them, irritated at how her daughter was acting.

”Hmm,” Corrin taps at her chin. “What do you want me to extract from it exactly?”

Insight: 15

"This particular sibriex wandered the plains of Avernus for ages before we captured it, amassing information on everywhere it traveled." Fetchtatter admits. "If coerced properly, I could tell you everything it knows about one particular location on Avernus. But if the Acheronian will not leave, I will NOT permit you to question it! Get it to talk, and the soul coins are yours." he laughs maliciously.

If you wish Misha to leave the situation, getting the sibriex to divulge information in detail about one location on the map will require a DC 17 Charisma Persuasion check. Only one person can make the attempt with no help.

Persephone never budges from her hiding spot, preferring to keep hidden in case this confrontation goes south. 

Nok looks from Fetchatter to the sibriex. “Of course by not talking to is you know you’re doing exactly what this asshat wants, right? Why don’t you just tell us what we need? What better way to show this fool who is boss?”

Persuasion: 12

Misha backs away.

The sibriex remains quiet. Even from this distance, it's smell and the stench of it's ooze is literally overpowering you. You find it difficult to be in it's presence any longer. The devil laugh uproariously at your pathetic attempt, and, while remaining wary of you all, continue to torture it.

Jill shrugs. "Well, we tried. Can we go back to base before I throw up?"

The away team heads back to Home Base. You can long rest if you want, and either pick a new side mission to do, or decide to tackle the main quest.

Meep returns from her training (3 days worth of absence) quietly, having done a few days of soul searching. She looks around everyone and nods with a slight smile. "I think I'm ready to try my best at whatever you need me for. I'm sorry I've been away for so long."

Nik Nak comes back from Acheron in high spirits. "That was awesome! Misha, that's where you're from? There were so many devils to smite, and people to help!"

When they arrive back at home back, Amelia pulls Corrin by her ear and goes off to do some work in Acheron all the while making Corrin apologize for her behavior.

"Your words bring me honor, one who looks like other green little child, but female." Misha nods. "Acheron - would it not be infested with the filth of devilry - has many interesting places to see. When Misha was child, saw many theengs that would amaze you. Now, ees nothing more than war zone."

THE OBELISK

"An unknown man with unknown purpose. Assist him at your peril, lest he drag you into madness." — The Cartographer

Misha, Jill, Nik Nak, Meep, Seph

inserting a soul coin into the slot, the engine of the Devilgrinder roars to life, a nearly deafening sound. you rumble across the Avernian landscape - a bleak and desolate view. Eventually, you see it. Off in the distance, a thirty-foot-tall obelisk ringed by seven smaller standing stones rises from the crest of a hill. A tall man wearing tattered robes strides between the standing stones, gesticulating wildly and screaming curses into the wind. Misha makes the Devilgrinder do a few donuts before parking the vehicle behind some cover.

"Sloppy handling." she mumbles. "Should see Acheronian war vehicles..."

Meep raises an eyebrow at the man and looks to the others. "Well... he seems... Upset? Or crazy. Should we... do something about that?" 

"I am not skilled at assisting those who are upset and I have no ability to aid those who are mentally unwell, so if we are going to do something, someone else will have to do it."

"Let's say hi!" Nik Nak says cheerfully, hopping off the vehicle. "Helllooooo, strange shouting man!"

"Hello ugly random goblin!" the robed man says. "Perhaps you and your.." he waves at the rest of you weakly and vaguely, "..things can help me! I am trying to free my friend from this obelisk, but I cannot seem to figure out the puzzle of these runes on the ground. Mayhaps you can assist me?"

Jill exits the vehicle after the robed man greets them. "How can we assist you with the puzzle? And can we have the name of the man we are assisting?"

Meep quietly eyes the man for a second before she moves to look at any runes she can see from where they are next to the man.

Whispering to the rest of the group, "He seems like a troubled soul....curious....curious indeed."  Stepping out of the vehicle, she squints up at the obelisk, wracking her brain whether or not she can recall reading any memos about this.

Arcana: 21

OOC: She speaks and understands abyssal, if that helps any?
