The BFOAGWGH

"Master can spread his curse. Change and trap us in divine form unable to resist his every command."

Twiglet looks concernedly at Tallanvor..”We’re not going after Some dark god, are we? We were only supposed to find the dwarves...”

"What is the master's curse? Does it make him look like spider? Is Are you scared that He will change you into spider?"

"Lolth made him part spider as she does all who displease her. He has turned many of us. So many friends and kin lost forever to his will"

"Can a wizard turn you back into elf? Why is you following master if you is are getting turned into spider?"

Tallanvor reassures Twiglet, "We'll no be going after the dark one himself. That is a job meant only for one man, 'The Dragon Reborn'. And we'll no throw our lives away, ye can't serve the light if yer dead!" He lets out a hearty laugh. "But if we are able to, perhaps we can squash this bug and save a few more souls for 'The Last Battle' from the evil plots o' these shadowspawn."

He retrieves the map from Humbolt and shows it to the elf "What signify these markings on your map?"

"Maybe. He has never done to any of those he changed. He changes all who fail or betray him. To serve him is better than being enslaved."

Turning to the map she says "The markings are where we encountered resistance to our search"

Ro's eyes narrow
"Who is being enslaved by master? Where he is taking slaves from?"

Twiglet signs to Ro (to avoid the elf hearing) [elves get slaved if they not good workers (no word for subtlety of servant) ]

"What do you mean by resistance?", enquires Humblodt gruffly, wishing they'd just killed the elf in the first place - for her sake and his.

"Undead and other vilekin for the most part. There was a cave that poisoned all who entered it to the south east."

Ro doesn't seem placated by Twiglet's answer.

[Where he is taking workers from then?]

[elf place]

[I do no understand why she is wanting death? Why she is no wanting us to stop master instead?]

[she think master too strong. He will slave us so we kill her before. She think already lost]

[But we is having two gods and he is having only one!?]

Ro's hands are practically broadcasting her frustration - their movement short, sharp, and jerky as she continues.

[He is wanting to find spell forge. If we is finding it first we is having advantage maybe?]

Twiglet briefly signs [don't know] and throws his hands up in frustration too

They continue arguing for a while, but there doesn't seem to be anything to convince the elf to fight back, and they certainly aren't going to let her loose. 

"No' all outcomes do be favorable." Tallanvor sighs as the party arrives in Phandelin. "Let us go see Halia first and p'haps she'll have a safe place to store this elf while we decide what to do."

As you enter the Miner's Exchange, you see a hardy looking human woman behind the counter.

"Evening. You must be the new arrivals I have heard helped clear out the goblins attacking our supply caravans. What can I do for you?"
