"Sheemish is indisposed, so you're stuck with me. What makes you think we called you here?"

Koveras doesn't laugh. "That would be a discredit to jesters everywhere." He eyes Dieter. "A pauper, perhaps. For only one far from nobility would show such disrespect for it."

Xzar purses his lips and pointedly says nothing, then leans down to the level of Monty's ear and whispers very loudly: "It's a test, Monty! Don't tell her anything about the Black Network. Not in front of these goons" He turns to flash the guards a toothy smile.

Montaron closes his eyes and patiently counts to seven, then punches Xzar hard in the leg. He doesn't even look as Xzar crumbles. "Ye ever known a wizard ta be such an idiot?" he asks Aiwe and Stella. "But all the same, we did receive instruction, from someone I knows ye knows. But if ye've no use for our talents, we'll gladly be outta yer hair."

"How did you receive instruction?" Aiwë glances at Stella.

Dieter was now sure that Aldous was himself and so was Koveras. The father was absent as usual but… he felt off.

From his place on the ground, Xzar calls out, "Stella, you have such lovely eyes. Those stars are like gems. In your eyes" He sits up and makes a diamond with his fingers, then points at his own eyeball. "Gem. In. Eye. Gem-in-eye!" He practically screams the last word, then blinks emphatically several times.

Aiwë rubs her face. "Yeah, I got it. Look, we kind of have some things to sort out this morning. Can you come back at noon? Then we'll have an update for you."
Jun 6, 2024 2:48 am
Xzar and Montaron exchange a glance. And then they both speak at the same time.

"Okey-doke!" says Xzar.

"What? No!" says Montaron.

They look at each other again, this time with narrowed eyes, then whip out their hands and engage in a viciously rapid game of rock-paper-scissors, after which Xzar pumps a fist while Montaron groans in defeat.

And then they leave.

Aiwë turns to Stella. "That weird guy Gemini sends us them?" She sighs. "Maybe we can use them like you said, but I'm not sure how until we hear Duke Jannath's plan. Come on, let's update the boys."

With the two Zhents off the property, everyone reunites in the dining hall.

Duke Entar sighs at the sight of the interrupted meal still on the table. "I'm afraid to say that my appetite is gone. And you all look ready for whatever Liia throws at us. So, shall we make our way to Wyrm's Rock?"

Aiwë rapidly polishes off her breakfast, then gives a thumps her chest in the affirmative, mouth still full.

"Ah! Caliope or her...escort?" she whispers to Aiwë.

Aiwë rubs her face.
Stella puts a hand over her face and sighs, simultaneously.

"If Caliope trusts him, and he trusts them, then I guess we trust them? If they escaped the way I think they did, they're cleverer than they let on." She pauses to think for a moment. "Of course, they could just be making things up in order to get information out of us. Unless we get a direct sign from Gemini or Caliope, it'd probably be best to give them instructions that don't let on what our plans involve. If nothing else, we can have them find Ossein for us for that magic item merchant—we haven't had much time for that, after all."

Stella nods curtly and straightens her dragon scale armor and skirt. "Let us depart."
