Nenne looks upon the sleeping form of the red mage in disdain. Lifting her gaze to the nearby bard, she says, "Have you any rope to restrain her? I do not know how long this will last." She takes a handkerchief from her pack and starts rolling it into a suitable gag.
Eku flies over to the unconscious mage beside Glimbul and says, "The effects of my poison should last through the night. Why do you ask, Glimbul? This woman is bound for swift execution this very day."
"I wanted to be certain that she wouldn't wake up while we bind her. I agree with you that she must be executed today, but it looks like the others want to hold her for some reason."
Boosey drops his pack to the ground and fumbles around with it. A few moments later he pulls out a coil of rope and flashes the cleric a quick grin. "This should do the trick nicely. Be ready to shove that gag in her mouth if she wakes, letting her speak could be fatal."
The gnome busies himself tying the mage up, being as gentle as possible and starting with her hands securing them behind her back. He moves quickly on to her legs and feet, bringing the latter up behind her and lashing them to her hands. "This may well wake her soon, it's going to be very uncomfortable, but she shouldn't be able to move much. Just make sure she doesn't get the chance to speak until we are ready." He looks down at the neatly secured body and sighs. "This could easily have been avoided you stupid, evil, arrogant woman. How many people and creatures have to die for your vanity?"
Stuffing Nenne's gag into Zagmira's mouth once she is secured, Boosey searches her body for any signs of the missing cubes, and anything else that might be of interest to the party.
Eku asks Boosey directly, "Why are you tying her up? This woman stands directly against destroying the Soulmonger and her intentions are clearly no good. She laughed at our pain and only exists to harm the world. She has proven this!"
"We need to find the cubes," Nenne says, keeping a close watch on the mage. "If they aren't on her person, we'll need to interrogate her. Not that I expect much from that endeavor." She casts Eku a sidelong glance and her expression softens. "Also, there is neither justice nor honor in executing an unconscious foe. She must face her judgment."
She looks around the battlefield. "Stay vigilant. Her companion could return at any moment."
Lemon did not follow his companions over to Zagmira straight away, instead he placed a lone palm on the dead king and gave a low sigh. He then looked to everyone and approached.
It dawned on Lemon that his eyes were never playing tricks on him in the first place when he saw the second gnome. He outstretched his hand as a gesture for Glimbul to shake it, and gave him a wild eyed smile.
The dwarf, a yellowed bearded, 5' tall creature with a bald head introduced himself. Looking at him, any could tell he loved the mud, and he certainly loved sleeping in it. Anyone could also tell of his bulging belly, and how before starting this adventure (and apparently still), that he probably had a few too many breakfasts' alone. His blonde beard reached down to his midbelly, and had a lone twig holding together the middle section of it. Lemon may have been portly, but he was still flexable and... charming in his own druid way.
"Ye be a new face to see. Ye helped out there, an' I'll galdly fight by ye side some more if need be." He gave a glare at Zagmira. "The cubes be in her pouch to the side. Once we be done with 'er," and he looked to the west, "I be needin' me stuff back."
He gave a classical mad grin, "I got ye all presents!"
Allister looks at Glimbul and smirks. "You wanna fight for the honor?" Looking at Eku. "Or do you have a... special way... I don´t know, you don´t have your bow anymore."
Glimbul finds a ring on her finger and Boosey finds three puzzle cubes in her side pouch. Eku nods and says, "There. You have what you sought. End her quickly while she sleeps, or I will. It is dirty work, but she has chosen her alliances, and I won't endure her to be tortured."
Boosey looks to Eku. "I understand Eku, but Nenne is right and..." he sighs, "I do not like killing for the sake of killing, even if one such as her deserves death, and she has cost us and others much. If it is decided it is best, we should do it quickly, but I am of a mind to hand her to let the Yuan-ti deal with her. I suspect that would not go well for her."
He is silent for a moment then says quietly. "Perhaps though it is for the best. If we don't do this now, she will return to haunt us." He looks Eku in the eye, then turns back to look at the mage on the ground. Shutting his eyes tight he says "do it!"
Content with finding the items on her Glimbul pulls out his Rapier to cleanly stab her through the side of her head. "Very well. I will end her". He pushes the rapier through one side of her head out the other.
Eku winces and turns from the sight slightly. She turns her look back to Nenne and Boosey and says, "I understand how you feel, but I can resonate with the spirit of an individual and feel them out, so to speak. Zagmira was a black hole of evil, no doubt sent by an even darker higher power. The only thing gained by her consciousness would be the loss of our own hearts having to deal with whatever dark magic she was able to spin up, or she would simply vanish to cause ruin another day. The fact that she positioned herself against the destruction of the Soulmonger is enough for my sacred vow to justify her end, however much it pains me to follow through with it."
Allister walks to the carcass of the giant dino. "You messed with the wrong crew, big guy." He slaps it on the head and takes some of the feathers from its back.
Nenne sighs in weary frustration and tosses a meaningful look at the celestial. "Beware of Summer, my friend," is all she says.
"We are in no position to continue our explorations, let alone tangle with Ras Nsi's agents," she says to the group. "We should rest, recover, and plan our next move. Also, I would hear tell what happened to you, Lemon. We have been deathly worried over your safety."
After he watched the fall of Zagmira, Lemon walked over the abomination of the dinosaur. He gave it a long look and, looking at the feathers, he plucked one, and stashed it away. He looked to his friends, including their most recent one, and began talking about what had happened to him after they had left when he was petrified.
He started with where he first woke up after being petrified. He told them how he opened his eyes and took in the sights of Ras Nsi's treasure room. He told them that Ras charmed him and asked for weaknesses about his friends and what we were after. Of course, being Lemon, he never gave a straight answer (probably why Ras treated him like an idiot). He was later left unattended in the room and proceeded to transform into a spider to escape. he took some things- and with a wink Lemon says, "'An got some presents fer ye all." and proceeded to leave the room.
"'An there I was, fighin' six snakes an' Ras 'imself. Even that big snake guy, some mutant snake thing even trembled before me!" (Lemon then proceeds to make punching and blowing up noises)
What the party really knew, was that he was caught red handed. And was cornered since he was an idiot and left through the main exit. He did tell them that Ras ordered his most loyal men to escort him out of their place, making Lemon promise as long as he never returned he could leave safely. Lemon then pointed to Boosey, holding the cubes, and said that is where he found the last two cubes.
From there, Lemon told how the servants of Ras took him to where they were now, here at this battlefield. "It was night, 'an they just told me to go off, so I did. However... that is where I ran into her," he gives a glare at the deceased Zagmira. "The two forces fought. Thankfully so, cause if not, than we all would 'ave 'ad to to fight way more wizards! They took me in the end though. They took me, 'an me things, back to the Obelisk. They planned to ambush ye all there, but I escaped once more from me bindin's and tried to surprise them on me own!" He rubbed the back of his neck embarrassingly, "they beat me how'ever, an' that brings us 'ere! All we need now is me stuff! We 'ave all the cubes, but if we get me things, I 'ave things to give ye all." His eyes go narrow, venom poor's from his lips as he looks to everyone individually and slowly. "The harp. The harp be mine how'ever." And as suddenly as it came, it was gone, he flashed a bright smile, and put his hands on his hips triumphantly. "An that be the story! Any questions?"
Glimbul looking at him half confused and half surprised. "Uhh. Right. Well how many people were at their camp. Can you recall how many of what kinds of enemies were there?"

"I wanted to be certain that she wouldn't wake up while we bind her. I agree with you that she must be executed today, but it looks like the others want to hold her for some reason."

Stuffing Nenne's gag into Zagmira's mouth once she is secured, Boosey searches her body for any signs of the missing cubes, and anything else that might be of interest to the party.
"Can someone please check her for any magic on her body? I don´t like the idea of some trinket that can transport her away with a word or thought."
Eku asks Boosey directly, "Why are you tying her up? This woman stands directly against destroying the Soulmonger and her intentions are clearly no good. She laughed at our pain and only exists to harm the world. She has proven this!"

She looks around the battlefield. "Stay vigilant. Her companion could return at any moment."
Glimbul seeing the gnome struggle decides to help look for magic items. "We look for the items then kill her. That is all we need from her."
Lemon did not follow his companions over to Zagmira straight away, instead he placed a lone palm on the dead king and gave a low sigh. He then looked to everyone and approached.
