Allansia Wildlands Campaign.

Tzedaka looks at Herman. "I chave always referred to dee cheroes as "you", Cherman." She shakes her head, "I am not a chero of Challice, nor am I a hero of Allansia. You are that hero. I chave been sent by Libra to create balance on dis plane. I am but a messenger that can help tip the scale toward good. I am justice."

"As to your otter questions, grandmotters armor is now part of me. And as to where I chave been, I initially went to find a broken vile width a water sigil for reasons we vill discuss soon, but as I progressed, I lost myself and.....grew. Libra has rewarded dee cheroes, which could not chave happened until Zagor was defeated." She smiles, "Some light has replaced darkness, and new knowledge has been gained."

Herman, that was expecting from a change with more straightforward answers from the Libra adpet , finds himself disappointed.

" you say you are Justice, you surely are not Clarity.

Anyway, they say justice is not of this world...

Talking about us, I'd like to explore the mountain: we avoided mushrooms and there those skeletons...I say we go back whence we came to find the troglodytes with the key and search about living beings in the meanwhile. 

Plus, we must spread the news? Or shall we wait? I don't want to raise anyone appetite..."

"You are almost correct, Cherman. I am not of this plane normally nor are my sisters, but I have been granted a gateway to be chere for a short while."

"Dee second issue, is the tattoos on your bodies. You know you need four eelemental essences for dee ritual, and, a powerful wizard or sorcerer is needed. I wonder if you already might know von, even one that dee others in this group have not met.

We have dee fire essence and it is contained and charged. We have air and earth elements but dese may not be charged yet. We do not possess water nor is it charged, but I suspect it could be found in dee mountain.

She pauses in thought for a moment, pondering something.

"Der is another way to remove dese tattoos but...I don't think that would be wise."

Herman smirks and puffs

we are not really well know for wise choice, I wanna hear the second way (and I wanna also hear why you did not tell it before)

Tzedaka smiles at Herman's brashness with his requests.

"Ah, that leads to dee third item to discuss, and my primary reason I chave been sent chere."

"We can descend into dee Pit or summon an earthly avatar of dee demon Shakor (she turns to the right and spits), and defeat her on this plane. Den, when you return to dee pit, I believe dee tattoos vill fade."

I do think it is much better to have dem removed now by someone you trust who is able to do so, as....you do not have dee power to defeat Shakor now without....dee possibility that all vill die, and..thus,.I be expelled from dis plane."

She does not answer Herman's second question.

Let's forget the pit (for the moment), shall we?

"Yes, I thought you might see it dat vay, especially since dere are dose among us who know powerful wizard or sorcerer." (OOC: Present or from their past backgrounds)

"Well we did get a jumpstart on the elemental essences which is the primary reason we first came here, of course that took a momentary backseat to the need to stop Zakor."

Banzo looks at his tattoo for a moment.

"Ok, we have an idea how to charge them... maybe. At least it seemed to work with one of them. Once we get a rest we should explore this mountain a little more just to make sure we didn't miss any and also see if we can charge any more."

Norm & Clem: " That they are, Ma'am. All present and correct."

"I am glad to hear it." Enwynn replies, entirely unworried by being left in the company of a burnt-out former administrator of evil and a pair of trolls to sort out the minor details of new management while the heroes confer elsewhere.

 She assumes a dangerously calm expression as she explains to Clem and Norm "Now, while I understand that demonic patrons were encouraged by the previous management, that is no longer the case. However, I have no quarrel - Well, not that I know of - with the Father Of Trolls, or those of his offspring who are willing to listen to reason. As He is also the Father Of Goblins and Of Orcs, I expect you both to work with your sibling species and others besides without wasting my time with petty arguments and bullying."

The elf smiles as she concludes "I would also prefer that any arguments over the superiority of your cuisine over all others be settled by a cook-off that does not include eating the loser. Goes against tradition, I know, but I would prefer staff lived to learn from their defeats. Saves on interviews and equipment costs for one thing. Of course, any staff who do not see fit to comply with this policy will be dealt with. Permanently."

"Now, a question that requires an answer, and swiftly: Where are the troglodyte known as Kremmel's quarters to be found?" Enwynn asks, looking from Norm and Clem, and then to Redrobes, including them in the inquiry.

Clem and Norm nodded along then Norm answered her last question.

" Oh, in a cupboard in the back of the canteen."

After a moment's thought Enwynn sighs and mutters "That's on me for not specifying Living Quarters..." then more brightly "I meant where did Kremmel live, while still in service to the previous overlord of Firetop Mountain?" and makes a mental note to discuss certain meats being off the menu from now on.

OOC EDIT: Enwynn makes a Medicine check on Troglodytes, how large are they and would one fit into a cupboard? 19 and Perception Check on Clem telling the truth 15.

“I saw a Trog width Dee barbarians. Perchaps we can send Clem to retrieve Dee keys?” Tzedaka suggests (a test of his fidelity)

" Aye, that's him. In the cupboard.  I dunnow if he mighta taken em  keys wit him or not."

Troglodytes are small ranging between one to three feet with rare ones occasionally reaching four.  Clem appears almost incapable of not telling the truth.....in that lying would require a quickness of wit that he does not seem to possess.

"Well let's check and find out for sure."

Banzo will lead everyone back to the pantry to check the cupboard.

Herman follows with arms crossed

I wanna see this

As the companions begin to gather to follow, Tzedaka recalls dangers on her journey....

Banzo still isn't sure what the trolls mean by the troglodyte's quarter's are in the cupboard, could he be living in there or was he dead and the trolls planned on using parts of him for ingredients in their cooking and were making some kind of sick joke or reference to that being his quarters.

On the way, as they are nearly there, he'll ask the trolls, "Does he live in the cupboard? Or is that where is body is stuffed?"

“Der is a group of Skeletons marching, and at puzzles, we can go fight. Otter areas at Dee river vas clear. I do not know vhat is past Dee mind.”

" Sleeps there. Ain't dead last I saw him."

"Then we're going to wake him up if he's home."

Banzo continues heading to the cupboard, leading the party with his peculiar lop-sided gait that you've all become used to by now.
