"i don't think he wants it for anything for himself for he already has one. he wants to know only that you and I still have it. why is it important we still have them? Is there something your not telling me? cause see i thought we both agreed if the other found useful info that we would share it, seams to me your holding back?"

I would like to move things along, so these are the events that take place to speed up time
the cleric and glass meet up with informant: and learn the sand dragons have been attacking in the country of Soleb. the revolution has a small contingent in the capital within Soleb but not enough to fend them off. The capital has fallen to the Sand Dragons and then need to liberate the city.
the idea and list glass gave to the commander is ready and glass pulls off his new idea.
Glass also explains how the weal works. it can heal, needs water from her temple to cast a full wish spell. the water can't be taken on long trips for it need the weal to keep the magic. to use it you place the coin and water forms into a water elemental of Isis. if you ask for things for others she will grant it with a limited wish spell.
Now you have three locations you can go to. Go and find the king,
go to the temple of Isis
or go and fight the Sand Dragons. please decide as a group.

Glass looks around the room at the others. "Will you come with me to save Soleb? Sand dragons are brutal and as much as I want to restore the fountain and find the king; I cannot leave allies to die at their hands."
(Incidentally Glass also thinks the chimera should stay.)

"Perhaps you should first explain where all that water came from?"

"I'm sorry, I thought that became clear when I said the weal is a wishing well. The explanation is quite simple. Someone," Glass's eyes shift to Cruge, "wished it so."

"I have heard of such wells grant great strength, or wealth, or cure the sick but this ... would take the rending of the planes, or the intervention of Isis herself"
"You may have your war Glass, when the dragons see this power..."
(the quantity created would require epic magic far beyond the potential of a limited wish - Callos concern stems from the fact that to her eyes the sudden appearance of a lake and river cannot be interpreted as anything less)

"I feel that - well, I mean that the water...well...spring isn't...umm...I think that the - the axe...Lurtzoghar's axe will be what this all revolves - is about. We shouldn't - I mean, it should be found...we should find that rather soon."

then commander says: "Denda is on the way to Soleb if the king has heard word of the attack he may try to storm it and get himself killed. He would help you attack it that i do know. so perhaps you may see him on your trip to Denda. One ax will not win the war, I agree it is important Sky but right now we need allies, freeing a city helps with that. You all should leave as soon as possible. my men will give you camels, food, and water. I can't spare any men from the fort as of right now, send word if you need are aid. Skar here is the letter i said i would give, I am in-trusting this with you, so don't lose it. I hope you all the best of luck."
It is the next day so you can leave right now. let me know when you leave the city.

"I will take us all to my old home, Denda, in the blink of an eye. That should cut time off our journey. We can take the food and drink, but commander, do you think you can spare coin instead of camels? It would be easier to procure them in Denda than it would to take them with us."
The previous day Glass goes to Callo and tells her that she was more or less correct. Isis was directly involved and has the final say in what she does. She is bound to do more if she feels like her traditions are being upheld, but in protection of her people, she may be swayed to do more. Because it is a like to Isis, no dragon making war on her people will ever taste it's power. At the end of the conversations Glass says that little more than a mage's limited wish was used however. As it is with all wishes, their power is practically limitless, but asking for too much often leads to ruin. In this instance, someone asked for more than what was safe. Whether or not it leads to disaster remains to be seen.

" I am sorry glass but we are not a wealthy city and the king is in charge of the money, most of it has been used to keep building the fort. with the river and water we may get trade but it is pointless if other nations can't come to buy from us. glass i have given all i can in aid for now, if i could i would do more but i have done as much as i can. if you can excuse me I must prepare to make a public speech in the next few days. also i need to prepare the men and rebuild as fast as possible. so as you can see i have much work i need to do here. Good luck and my Isis guide and aid you in your quest."
with that he leaves and starts giving out orders to his men.

"A whole river and a little aid. Oh well, such are the circumstances." She laughs at her little self made pun. Then she flits up to Skywatcher's shoulder, "You look very dashing in those boots."
She speaks Gol-Kaa directly at his ear, "Such a fuss and we're ushered out the door. We haven't found what we're looking for and now we are asked to carry on. I would like your thoughts dear friend."

Last night Nokomis collected a sizable portion of the Chimera meat, mostly the entrails, and then left the town with her sack of meat.
She spent the night in the desert, then came back the next morning, minus the large sack. He new belt was also nowhere to be seen (moved to be under the white robes).
Hearing of the proposed missions, and how they were more or less consolidating into a single mission, Nokomis considered them. She wasn't particularly interested in directly opposing dragons, such was usually bad for one's health. But potentially very lucrative in the unlikely event that one was successful. Searching for a missing king or hunting for a long lost temple was more what she had in mind when she came here (not that she had thought that there would be a king missing that needed to be found).
Still it seemed that the main mission was going to be fighting dragons in their own territory. But this was a large team of some of the strongest fighters she had ever seen, perhaps they did have a chance... And the pay so far had been outstanding, that belt paid for much more than the little bit she had helped in that fight yesterday.
"I'll go," said Nokomis, "And I have a companion that will join us once we leave town."

the cleric agrees that fighting the dragons is the best thing to do right now.
so far the votes are 4 to 1 in favor of stopping the dragons and saving the city. I will always go with the majority vote. if there is any last min things you wish to do post here. I will start another section and people can start the trip to Soleb.

Callo had grave misgivings about this turn of events but knew she could not afford to stand aside while the power to reshape Sira itself was in the balance.
Besides once the dragons saw this they would send more than Chimera, the bleak desert seemed a far safer place.

Skywatcher smiles, patting Brienne affectionately when she lands, speaking quietly back. (Gol-Kaa) "There's no more to be done here safely. Trying for more would make us have to explain more of our goals. It's for the best we move on now." |
