Brienne has been watching the deliberations with some interest. She seems deep in thought about the proposition of reimbursement for their endeavors. She nods when asked to speak with the blue dragons should they encounter them. Finally she says,"If you happen to have a cloak of charisma that would be a boon to my success in the future. There's nothing awry with a likable diplomat."

Sorry, we've been out at a conference. We're back!
"Boots are good. Wore out my last...well, they got eaten by - err...not important. Have any for travel - well, for moving with, erm...haste?"
Skywatcher scratches his head for a moment, considering.
"And they won't - I mean, you'll hide...err, that the, hm. The headless Chimera. You've planned - I mean, you'll...that will be hidden too?"

he hands you both the items you ask for. " the cloak of charisma will shrink to fit you Brienne, and the boots will adjust to your feet Skywatcher was it?"
The cleric being the last to pick " I am very interested in how these coins work so im going to try that"
and picks up one of the coins and pockets it.
" I hope you all use your gifts well now to the others things we have to get through. so lets start with your question Glass? we can defend this for we have for many years and never lost, given that the king was hear for all of the battles but this one, that is one reason i would like him back. as to hiding the chimera we would not be able to do so, however it can stay hear. If you wish to take it with you, you may do so. in time it will be trained to protect the fort and the people if it stays. yet if it does stay hear i see a little flaw in glasses idea. they know the exact # that was sent if they only see three they may or may not look for the last one. If they find out one still lives and it is hear they will not attack the sand dragons and come right at us full force, and that we could not take even with the king here. yet if it does work that gives us time to rebuild and fortify and maybe give some time to get the clans together. the choice is yours to make we will hold this to our last breath no matter the outcome. I will put in place a quarantine saying it is not safe to travel for a few days, but some may have already left the city. If that is so, any spy may have already gotten away. we can hope that is not the case. if one did escape it is a long journey back and you may seeing how fast all of you were may catch them. i feel i have gotten to all your questions and this meeting is at a good stopping place. I wish you all the best of luck. "

Skywatcher chuckles a bit, taking a steadying breath before speaking. Gol-Kaa's easy, at least.
"Kelinanuu Luganuikakothiakio is my...my name. But skywatching is what - I mean, I was given that title...err. Yes. Call me Skywatcher."
He gives out a little cough, shuffling in embarrassment.
"I was actually sent - that is, I wasn't here by...accident. I am on two - err, I have two missions, from my...patron. One was to - umm, about your...well, the drought. The other is - was, errm...I need to come across - find the chieftain Lurtzoghar."

The commander believes that if the beasts were discovered to be slain here the dragons would come in full force . . . Then plan or no, we must intercept spies or hope they start a war before they know the truth. "Cruge," Glass meet's his friend's eyes, "Do you know of someone that could train the chimera; somewhere secluded? I can bring it there for a time. Until it is safe for it here."
Glass rubs his temples, head throbbing. "I intend to carry out my plan. If any of you wish to talk or change my mind, you may find me at the fountain."
When Glass arrives at the fountain he marvels at it, closes his eyes and then re-opens them. "Time to figure this out."
My spellcraft roll to figure out exactly what the unique magical phenomena is was 15+27=42. (You can find it previously in one of my posts.)

the cleric comes out with you,
Glass finds out how it works : Its is a way to talk with Isis, if you ask for things not of greed, power, wealth but of things to help her children, she will grant the person who put in the magical coin ONE limited wish. so yes it is in fact a wishing well. if it had water from her temple it could start casting a full wish per one coin, that water is not there. it can refill with water and the water can heal wounds, but it cant be stored in a bottle, so only the well makes the water healing, after a day away from the weal it turns back to just being water. more a healing station.
now you need to roll a spot as does the cleric for his is out there with you. other can if they say they are out there inspecting it as well.
"Well glass do you think your idea will work? if we can pull it off it would be great but that was not are mission. As i recall it was to find the contact in the city and so far all we have done is reveal what you are and come up with a crazy idea that if falls to hell will get everyone killed, but going with flair and style was always r way of doing things and it has worked quite well may i add." looking at glass, and resting his arm on his shoulder. "buddy r you even listening to me?"

inside the conversation still continues a bit more :
Skar i am going to ask you in helping are guest locate our king. I am sending this latter with you, signed by myself. you have my full authority to bring him back and this letter tells him why i am sending you, he must come only under his free will so no magic. if the wizard or any spell caster does any magic on him the contract is voided. he must return home, and convincing him may not be easy. once you meet him Skywatcher you may ask or tell him anything you want, but you must go out to him with skar for i am not sending him out there alone. he was headed north to Denda border and i can only hope he is not rash enough to go into it . you may find him there or a clue to where he went next. my guess would be at the nearest tribe and keep going till he finds other ones. I wish you luck."
It is what i can do to get you to be able to speak with him. the drought happened do to the reds drying up the land how buy magic and yes dragons do have magic and powerful at that. we are still working on a way to get the water back"

Callo took a deep breath, she could not see how the plan would succeed - the chimera had been struck down in plain view, the bards and travellers of this place would soon be vying to spread the story over a coin or drink.
Looking up, "if we are to find the king I would suggest we ready to leave at dawn, please provide us with any maps or material that would help us track him"
Callo will remain with the group until arrangements have been made and then depart for a more secluded spot, ensuring that no invisible elves follow her... rumours must be fought with rumours, stories with stories.
(Callo will switch from form to form throughout the evening, spreading the story of the strangers from the sea, adventurers seeking some treasure in the sands beyond the city. Disinformation of a sort, and perhaps an opportunity to find those a little too interested in the details)

he hands you a full map of abes as well as the map of denda. " I am giving you both just in case you need the second one."
Callo is surprised there are no bards in these lands, even more so people take little interest in the tails for they are just happy to be alive, it is almost like the story was not a big deal half so the story of the attack was not much news for most attacks were like this. she also finds the kids believe anything she tells them but they don't care if it is the truth or not as long as they don't have to do work while she tells them the info.
there are a few who are slightly more interested. however. " I would not be spreading info in public for these people rather go about their lives, we on the other hand would like to help the commander, and we have been just not as public. we know the inns and out of the will of the people and you have a way with words we could use your talents for other things then just info. I assure you we are working for the right side, and a cleric was to meat us hear before the attack, I take it you are them?"

To clarify, Callo is blending in with the populace, as likely to be amongst the children as talking to them, though may at times pose as one as sailer or perhaps a bard from beyond the seas.
As a local she will be subtle, but as a bard..."My name is Logan, of the Seven Sabres", the young warrior stuck out like a sore thumb dressed in a silk shirt and untied leather jack, a single exotic looking sabre hanging from his belt.
"A cleric you say, and suppose I know of such a man?"

Spot: [dice=20] +10
Glass shakes from his pseudo trance looking up from the fountain to Cruge. "Yes. I caught most of it. In revealing myself I hoped to catch the interest of everyone in that room. We need allies like that. Regarding my plan, nothing is certain but I think there is a chance that it will work. I don't think much will change, should the plan fail. The hammer will be brought down on this place soon unless the dragons' attention is diverted. Without us here they would have had to overtly used their magic. It would bring the dragons. Assuming we just dispose of the bodies, a similar force would arrive and they would be forced reveal themselves. My plan may bring death if it fails but if it succeeds these people may yet live. I wager that news of the sand dragons attacking the chimeras will make it to the ears of the red dragons first. Tell me now if you disagree. I will not go against my partner's will."
Glass wipes sweet from his brow and motions for Cruge to lean in close. "Even if the dragons attack, this place has an ace up it's sleeve. You made the right choice in taking that coin. I will explain when we meet with the commander."
Glass takes a simple bowl from his pack and gathers water from the fountain. The burns he got on his hand outside his cloak during the fire blast would prove useful. He then sets off for the commander again to choose his reward and, perhaps, more.[rand=087375506060197955930802691727877710446361452341128573885187506676]

"This man is of great importance and we need to speak with him, if you do know this man and know where he is you would be of a great help to us. I don't have time for games if your not this man then i need to find him as soon as possible and this can only reach his ear. I was told another was traveling with him, glass some or other have you heard of this man ?"
meanwhile: the burns fade away and your skin is smooth, and the burns vanish within seconds of dipping it in.
Honestly i have no idea if the player would go along with it so i will ask them.
as he is using the water on the inner side in nomadic the is an inscription saying the river will lead you the temple of Isis.

Glass is not removing the burns yet, just taking some of the water in a bowl and going to the commander.

Nokomis speak up in the discussion regarding what to do with the chimera's. "How would the red dragons or their agents find the chimera bodies in the sand dragon territories? The chimeras were sent here, when they do not return, their masters would assume that this town has killed them. I would not expect them to look for bodies, in this land bodies do not last long before something eats them."
"If the chimeras had encountered the sand dragons, they would have been eaten and there would be no trace of them to be found."
"My suggestion would be to simply butcher the dead ones and make use of the meat and hides."

the dragons would more then likly just bury the bodies and eat them, the bones could be found but fining them would take a lot of digging, something i have never seen reds doing, we dont even know if the reds care about the underlings and if they will come looking or how long the mission was for. if we are to skin them, we can make use of the dragon heads. if we had dwarfs around they could make enchanted armor out of the hide. it seams to me most of you don't like his idea and see flaws with it but his heart is in the right place, and that is enough for me to trust him as should all of you but not with this plain. the dragons know we have held our own, the will send more like he says but once more we will fight and if we have to die defending this fort and these lands. they know we are capable of withstanding attacks and so help us if they come full force. Nokomis your very right as is Callo but take the critical peace of what glass is thinking turn them vs other powerful things. there are other ways to do what glass is thinking just not using these as the source. other options may come up. we will not skin them until we convince glass not to do his plain. it will take all of you to talk him out of it, i hope it is enough to stop him.

(later in the day)
Callo eyes the stranger, aware that Glass did not seem all that keen to be found.
"I know not where he is, but I know where he can be found - or rather who can find him, a woman from the ship. Go to the docks in one hour"
If the man agrees Callo will take her leave, slipping into the shadows and returning to the fort in her prior form once she is sure that she has not been followed. Even if the elf had left she could still track him just as she had before.
Upon finding Glass she will explain that another was looking for him, but nothing that would suggest that she and Logan were anything but friends.

so this guy does not show any intent in harming him or you, he is on the level yet he is hiding something and being rather cautious as he speaks to her. So he is up to something but nothing with maliciousness intent.

He does agree, sry i did not put that in my last post.
time is a bit off for everyone split off doing separate things but they were all in the same time line.
I am going to speed up time til when people all meet back up, you all meet back up with the commander to make things simple. For Callo would not have found glass at the fountain but i don't want to take up time u running around to find him. so eventually you all meet back up.
