"Yes, Fletch, I do believe that would be a good idea. Any trouble we do run into will be better handled as a group rather then split up all over the house."Shei is going to walk out of the room, and walk up the staircase that Alhorn took.
The old man seems to be being honest,a s far as you can tell.
Upstairs
Germain and Alhorn can tell the white-haired woman has her own reasons for doing this, but you don't beleive she is being dishonest with you at all. "You will need a banner I have in my possession." Talis says to Alhorn, giving him the first real smile he has seen from her yet. "I will send one of my guards to get it from the place we keep it." She waves and one of the bodyguards moves away, heading down the stairs. "As you approach the castle you can show this banner and it will allow you onto the castle without needing to sneak or fight your way aboard." She then gives you directions on how to locate the castle, which does not seem too hard, as it is not that far from here, and there seems to be only one path to take.
As Talis is speaking Shei arrives on the scene. Any of the others can have come to, in time to hear her details on the banner and the directions to the flying castle.
Naroth thinks for a moment, and ponders the words of the older gentleman downstairs, "What happens to you if we do this? If I am not mistaken this place is not yours and the rightful owner was killed, do you plan on staying here or moving on?"
Talis glances up at you with a raised eyebrow. "This place you say?" She asks, then gives a shrug. "The only concern the cult had for this place is the portal stones, and the ability to get things moved more quickly to the castle. We have no reason to stay here once the castle departs."
Alhorn
"Aboard the castle you will find a couple of giants, who mostly are concerned with flying the craft, and a good number of cultists." She looks around at the group, then shrugs. "I am sure a group like yours can figure out how best to take care of those aboard the castle, so I leave any tactics, for once you are aboard, for you to figure out on your own. I can get you aboard the castle, the rest is up to you."
"Not that I don't trust cultists, as I don't, and not that this will matter much, but it is a bit symbolic, can I get that in writing. Then we can help you. And yes we can come up with a plan once we get inside the castle." Then Naroth thinks for a moment, "By chance do you have a amp of the castle you can give us?"
"A map?" Talis says with a cold laugh. "No, I have no map I can give you. Nor am I putting anything in writing. Accept my aid, or do not, that is up to you."
"What are these portal stones you speak of? Are they how the cultists got to the castle the first time, or do they serve some other use? Also, I believe neither of us managed to catch your name yet, might I ask what you go by?" She gestures to herself and Naroth as she finishes speaking.
"I am named Talis the White." Talis says, tossing her head to make her white hair sway meaningfully. She shrugs as she looks to Shie. "The portal stones are how the cult has moved treasure, from all over the place, to this lodge. it was then taken, from here, to the flying castle."
"I am glad you see sense in working with me on this." Talis says with a slight curl of her lip in amusement. She nods to her bodyguard. "Go and fetch the banner." She informs him, and the man runs off to do as instructed. "The castle is a half-day's walk from here, along a path through the woods. I would suggest you rest here this night, then head out in the morning."
Shei
Anywhere in particular you are heading? Are you going downstairs after something, or just moving things along?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Shei stuffs her jacket in her bag then leaves it against the side of the door, and is going to shapechange her face somewhat similar to the other servants she saw in the room and is then going to poke around a bit to see what she can find.
Investigation: 18
Deception? for pretending to be one of the servants: 26
Fletch gently tugs at the leg of Naroth's pants, and whispers to the best of his ability from the back of the group. "Dost thou think this situation odd? Scarcely had our groups met upon the lawn of this place when we were beset by monsters, yet none from this lodge came to our aid. Now, we intrude upon their home proper, but they spare us barely so much as a glance and even proffer us with the exact information and assistance we need? To me all this doth seem...convenient."

(I feel we tend to run into a lot of trustworthy people.)

“And what sort of presence might we expect on board? What’s the relationship with the giants based in?” Alhorn is making mental notes

Germain stands quietly, moving toward the back of the group now that the others have arrived.
Naroth thinks for a moment, and ponders the words of the older gentleman downstairs, "What happens to you if we do this? If I am not mistaken this place is not yours and the rightful owner was killed, do you plan on staying here or moving on?"
Shei stays quiet during the conversation, watching Lady Talis and the guards closely.

Recolic muses looking up the stairs. "I worry Alhorn may be getting into trouble. Perhaps it would be best to check on him."
If Alhorn does not return in the next few minutes Recolic will head up the stairs to investigate.
Alhorn takes his time to mull it over, and lets the others ask their questions.
”Well… I do believe this concludes our negotiations. We know where our belongings are now. Time to get them.”

Germain nods slightly, but says nothing for now.
Naroth stares for a moment, then nods his head, "We are in agreement, for now, Let us continue."
"Thank you for your assistance Lady Talis." Shei turns around and walks back downstairs.
Talis
