"Yeah. The big question is how do we handle the fact that we really do need to hit the dwarves again sooner rather than later if there's any chance of saving any of the other slaves. Do we take them in with us into definite danger, or do they stay in one of the watchtowers until we're done?" the magus says looking down at her hands.
"I'm sure there's something out there that needs its ass kicked. Once they get comfortable with their abilities, maybe they'll be less scared of themselves."
She walks back over to the table, "Maybe I can go talk with Magnus. He seems to have been out here for a while. He might have some ideas that could help." She gives them a small tired smile and a small shrug as if to say, That's the only thing I can think of.

"I hate to agree to that plan, but I will," Ylrhea says.
"Thanks....it's pretty much all I got. Ill be back shortly. He doesn't worry me, neither do his men. I don't think they're gonna attack someone he referred to as Orc Slayer in front of them." She shakes her head, "I don't know why, but I guess my life is so full now that my past hardly matters, especially if I can't remember something like that. At any rate, is that alright? I don't want Toni left alone in the state she's in. I'm just asking that you trust me on this."

"I'll go with you," Ylrhea offers. "Just in case."
She smiles, "Sure thing partner, lets go."

Arista and Ylrhea find Magnus and his men sitting down to a meal.
She looks at Ylrhea, "I don't know...I don't want to bother them while they're eating. Maybe we should wait like thirty minutes or so and then come back?"
Sādhanā nods, not thrilled with the idea but trusting Ylrhea to have Arista's back. The fact that they'd killed the troll should go a long way toward keeping the more unruly on their best behavior anyway.
She gets up going to the window.
Ylrhea shrugs. "Yeah, there's no rush."
"Can we just go sit by the ladder? I don't feel like climbing up and down a bunch of times. I know exercise is important, but I'm a little tired just now."

"Hey, you're the leader of this expedition, so we'll do whatever you like."
She grabs Ylrgea in a hug, "Thanks, everything has been so crazy ya know?

As Arista and Ylhrea left to talk to the mercenaries, Drago quietly slipped away to keep an eye on Toni, making sure to keep his distance but also being plainly visible in case she wanted to say something.
Tarja soon arrived at his side soon after. "Is she alright?"
"She's going through some really big issues. She just needs time to sort it out." Drago mentally replied.
"I'm well aware," Ylrhea tells Arista.

Toni whispers to the wind and watches as a winged serpent appears from the ether. "Hyggindi..."

"You have finally called," Hyggindi says. "I sense your insecurity. Can you trust me?"
-Posted with Wayfinder
"It's not about trust. I don't want this. I don't want to rebuild your empire. I'd almost rather take my chances going back home..."
-Posted with Wayfinder
"You'd choose non-existence over a chance to build a life. This isn't about my empire. This is about making a change in the world for the better..."

" These aren't...you know what? Forget it, go away!" Toni says, waving her hand and dismissing the eidolon. She stalks off towards the nymph's woods.

Drago and Tarja kept silent as Toni argued with Hyggindi. After the Eidolon was dismissed, the pair followed Toni into the woods, at a distance.

Sādhanā nods, not thrilled with the idea but trusting Ylrhea to have Arista's back. The fact that they'd killed the troll should go a long way toward keeping the more unruly on their best behavior anyway.
She gets up going to the window.
Toni stops and leans against a tree inside the forest.
"So what do you think, cutie?" Sienna asks Cyna.
Cyna sighs. "I think curses aren't my thing and we should get to killing evil Dwarves. How about you?"
Sienna folds her arms and tilts her head to the side. "I think Rikali and Toni got a raw deal, but, yeah, some dwarves need killing."
"I know, Rikali is forced to be something she's not and painfully so. Toni has had her whole world tossed and turned, and now she's got this sudden massive responsibility on her shoulders."
"I don't know what to do for them though besides some training..."
"Then we find someone who can, or at least try to."

"I dunno know if I trust a bunch of mercenaries to look out for their best interests..."
Ylrhea paces around for several minutes. "Want me to see if they're done, Arista?"
As she looks out the window Sādhanā sees Toni take off towards the nymph's forest. Seeing Drago and Traja head after her she finds herself torn between staying to watch over Rikali and following Toni.
After moment she heads back to the main room to where Cyna and Sienna are discussing the situation. "Toni just took off, headed towards the forest. Drago and Tarja are following her but, I'm gonna go keep an eye out as well. Let the others know when they get back." she says strapping Gukinshi across her back and dashing outside to follow.
Arista looks up as Ylrhea speaks, "Yeah sure, we can't wait around for long. Ill come with you." She gets up to follow Ylrhea to Magnus's camp.

"Umm, okay..." Sienna says, watching Sādhanā run off.
Arista and Ylrhea approach the camp again, this time Magnus walks about, picking his teeth.
Arista approaches Magnus, even though she tries to put a smile on her face there is a tired look to her face and her eyes betray the worry she feels.
"Greetings again Magnus, you're looking well this morning."
