Perhaps destroying the cult will save us the work of killing the demon. After all, it may be their occult activity which is holding it here in the first place.

"If the Grey Society is truly the cause of bringing demons into the city, then we have but no choice but to stop them, and bring them down. Stopping them in some way, hopefully perhaps, will help dispell the demon, or demons as it is." Aeyn added to the conversation.
Aeyn was reluctant to dive into revolutionary activity to overthrow the powers-that-be in control of the city, but saw little choice when they were subjecting the city to the depredations of a demon.

"Well, shall we power on?"
Immortal Serpent's flesh thrummed and hummed fully charged with its deadly electricity.

"What is our plan?" Aeyn asked. "Surely we must have some forethought as to how we're going to do this before we traipse out into danger."

"Uh... sure that part..."
Immortal Serpent leaned back against the wall again. Reclining and closing his eyes... falling asleep almost instantly.
The ethereal snake shudders and coils itself around Immortal Serpent it too appears to fall asleep.

Bayard looked at Aeyn with an almost malicious grin.
Two words. Escape Goat, he said, unconscious of the inaccuracy of the term he had just coined. You’re magical enough to get their attention with some sorta sorcery. Once they come meet you to recruit you or kill you, we clobber ‘em and make them tell us how to get into their tower

"Very good," exclaims Denny the Dwarf. "But it's actually pretty simple to get into the High Keep. The trouble is the Grey Society don't all spend all their time there. They are prominent citizens, scattered throughout the city."

The snot bubble popped and Immortal Serpent roused to full waking state. "Ah yeah, lets just find one of them, kidnap them, and beat the information from them."

It seemed as though Bayard had some nearly cruel intentions for him, but Aeyn did not flinch. He did have a look of disgust on his face at the amateurish glee at which the planning seemed to be taking place. Brute force seemed to be the solution, with a minor distraction.
"A flawed strategy, but a strategy indeed," Aeyn conceeded. "I don't see what they'll see in me, having not seen anything in me thus far, preferring my current master, but perhaps this will work."

"We can always adjust the plan on the fly." Immortal Serpent said as he stoop back up and began to head to the door.

Where do you go? From the map, options include:
Little Grendus ("dwarf town", where you are)
Market District (where you fought the skeletons, fled the demon, and stopped to sup with Tilly)
Boneyards
Docks
Arena District
High Town
Denny the Dwarf informs you that some of the aristos have walled garden compounds in the Boneyards, but most live in High Town and play in the Arena District while their servants shop in the Market District.

"That is odd. It seems the Naga has left us." Immortal Serpent looked around for signs of their reptilian companion. "Oh well he will either return or... well you know."
"The walled compound in the boneyard sounds like a place a cult meets. Not at all unlike my cult meeting at the ruined temple by the Serpents Bones."

Should we expect that Echo joins you as you set out toward the walled compound that Denny has mentioned to you?

I think that I am ready to go, except for selecting a race, but I am not sure if I am to wait for a specific queue or if that is the queue.Sep 1, 2026 12:53 am
"How much of a commotion are we looking to make?" Aeyn asked, critically. "If we need one hostage, perhaps finding one at leisure in the Arena District makes more sense, instead of a more frontal assault..."
Sep 11, 2026 4:33 pm
"I would presume we will leave a trail of corpses and that will leave quite the commotion."

Bayard rolled his shoulders, muscles visibly rolling even beneath his hauberk, and laughed.
Yes, a pile of corpses does make quite the distraction! I hope they will find it as humorous as I do!

Aeyn rolled his eyes at the indelicacy of the solution his peers were taking. It didn't suit him. He wondered if he was not better off still better in the arms of the skeletons that had kidnapped him in the first place, but pushed aside those feelings, as they were discovering the darkness that was intended for.

"Ahah he hasn't developed a taste for it."
Immortal Serpent began to walk down to the Boneyard whistling a jaunty tune. Utterly relaxed at the prospect of being assaulted by skeletons. Excited to kill demon summoning losers.

Which way do you head to the Boneyard east of town? (refer to map) Do you go straight the Market District, or the Docks? How do you find out how to find the compound you're seeking?
