"Dominique, does anything seem wrong with this situation? It feels like there is something off, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
"Should we free him?
He looks a bit confused obviously not getting what you are talking about but quickly says, "I know soo much treasure for four dragons... they were only suppose to be wyvern. Wait maybe I got the wrong mountain?!"
He quickly looks at you and looks stupefied, "...free him? Free who?" He looks at the sheet of ice and is trying to see what you are looking at.
Ekaterina proposes.
Let us see about "other needs" you have once we are back to our base. I believe I can spare one of my bedrooms for your perusal. Sir Ginzas many talents incidentally include a true mastery of cooking.
Do you prefer Silk or Satin? And would you rather have a Balkony or a view of the botanic garden?
"If you don't have remove curse you will need to break them, or wait. Either way please grab my cat that is on the table. A token item from my past." It is an obsidian panther with wings! A really lifelike and quality item.
---
With a huge smile now on her face, her demeanor changes to carefree and excited saying, "Oh YES! Excellent! Mmmmm... I am rather hungry! Ohhh dilemma dilemma, satin or silk... surprise me either would be far better than that bag. Can I have a balcony with a view?!" She is giddy with happiness even still confined.
"Well, that's curious. You don't see him?"
With a little doubt cast over his existence, she will try again to disbelieve illusion.
"Behind the ice; I am seeing a D'jinn, and he is trying to convince me to pull that lever and open the ice. Something about it seems... off, however. He offered two wishes, not three, and for release, not capture. You truly don't see or hear anything?"
"Nope, I have no clue what you are talking about. A djinni behind the wall of ice.... no I do not see anything moving, or even there." He humbly replies.
The Djinni urgently says, "I can't be seen by lawful individuals. Okay I will offer you four wishes but you have to make two wishes for me tomorrow. Let me out and let me help you."
He walks away and collects a few large items, turning them into paper and storing them.
She shakes her head, "No other questions but the imp could come in handy. Until the next time I bid you ado."Domayoku gets up from the table, and goes to find the other guild members.
The half-fiend monk walks back to the tavern to see if this fellow guild members are there.
Kazko you don't see any traps.
Obviously wanting to leave she says, "So are we leaving or what?"
Ekaterinas hair will assist Kazko in disabling the devices, she will also plop a heroism on him.
+4 to Kazko, 1 level 2 spell left.
"Curiouser and curiouser. The number of wishes is negotiable now?"
She searches her memory for any thoughts about his situation. Is it at all consistent with the way D'jinn work, and if it wasn't one of them, what might it be?
Amadea looks around the chamber, looking for signs of anything else that seems off, almost certain now that the creature is not what he claims to be.
"Is it safe to remove them now?" Ginza asks.
Kazko works at the locks, with Ekaterina´s help and the heroism spell he should be in good waters.
Released!
Oops!
Released!
fully free!!!

He offers, ¨Of course the number is negotiable.¨
Ginza pulls each device off as Kazko works on them.
Ekaterian puts some of her hair around the pulled off ones, in case they suddenly decide to become ambulatory and jump at people. or try to fix themselfs around Ginza or Kazko.
Cant be too paranoid She explains.
Surprise heroic half Succubus! Lets return to our base, maybe with the evil box there in tow. I do need a rest, we all need a bath, and our freed damsel in distress needs some new clothes. She smiles at Elshahirah.
I can telepathically send a clothing order to a pair of my vasalls, if you touch me and strongly focus mentally on what you want to wear, I should be getting that mental image.
Each of the devices seem to react still in someway, though Ginza's immunities make them not affect him.
She touches Ekaterina at the mention of new clothes, sending the mental image of several different kinds of clothes. One satin and two silk, they seem to be traditional Japanese wear.
Fully free of her shackles she thanks you all, "Thank you so much, I am indebted to you. Come let us leave this wretched place." She grabs the obsidian statue of the cat off the table and black feathered wings appear on her back, lifting her with ease through the hole. She lightly touches the floor and seeing the small exit the wings are dismissed. She climbs the ladder unless someone carries her.
She exits from the cellar of the bakery into the kitchen.
Ekaterina transfers the fashion wishes to her assistant Kumo, and furthermore has one of her suites set up for a new guest, as well as having some baths prepared.
Ekaterinas hair lets go of her, and then wraps around the closed Chest, bringing it with her.
Lets return to base then. She speaks being right behind her.
Ah, Mr. Priest She approaches one of the priests still there.
We have rescued the fair black skinned maiden, who will likely be joining us, from Hag captivity. Please, transfer my best wishes towards the charming Count and his leal vasalls. We have uncovered some dangerous and cursed items, one of which nearly stole on of our souls, which would plausibly imperil the security of your settlement if left here. I deem it unsafe to destroy them immidiatly, particularly in the proximity of children and civilians, thankfully we have facilities and means for that at out base of operations.
She speaks to the pries.
The fight did a number on my magical reserves, a question I wish to pose to your settlement is one of communicaion, I could, on another day, offer my gift to one of your citizens, this improves the capabilities of whoever receives teh gift, and creates a teleempathic link between us. This can be used to establish immidiate communication in the case of a crisis. It should be noted that I categorically refuse to bestow my gift on anyone who does not volunteer. It can be safely dispelled via dispell chaos.
Bleh, lugging that chest around will not be fun for my aerial mobility, I guess I am hitching a ride then. Ginza, Did the restraints try to effect you? We do need a "chamber of dangerous stuff" but I think you have one? She communicates telepahtically to the party.
Now that you are safe of mind Lady Elshahirah, if you wish to be freed of my gift, all you need to do is ask. She communicates to her specifically.
The priest seems to understand the words that you are saying but doesn't say anything.
"Why would I refuse such a lovely gift?" She obviously doesn't need a response.
"I felt a number of things sort of wash over me so I'm not sure if it affected me or not. It felt at times like a warm shower and cold showers intermittingly over my hair but I don't have any now. As for that chest? Give it to me. I can carry it with no problem." Ginza replies to his companion even as he summons his steed.
Here you go Ginza Ekaterina gives the no longer hair wrapped chest to Ginza.
Dont get your soul joinked! She smiles.
"You mean again?" is Ginza's rather weak rejoinder.
I cant hear you over the sounds of the bath I am looking forward too Ginza Ginza-Dearie!
Lady Elshahirah, can you fly long distances yourself or would you prefer a lift? She asks the drow Lady.
We have a Pegasus-equivalent
or Me your choice
She adds Telepathically, just to her.
She exits from the cellar of the bakery into the kitchen.
The half-fiend monk walks back to the bakery to find Lady Ekaterina and a drow woman.
"Hello, Lady Ekaterina", Domayoku announces himself, giving the dark elf a slight nod. "Who's your deadly friend?"
She repeats the words, "fly long distances or would I prefer a lift? Hmmm. I could but I am a bit depleted or malnourished, however you want to look at it. A ride would be nice."
---
Seeing Domayoku, she offers a hand and states in Elven, "I am Elshahirah, who are you?"
Not understanding Elven, the broad shoulder monk takes the offered hand and kisses it. The warrior then takes his other hand and indicates to himself, "Domayoku", and bows again.
@GM Did she joink an extra language from the int boost? :)
She bows in like fashion of Domayoku to him. Once he has released her hand she exits the kitchen and grabs a few pastries. After eating she exits the bakery with your group.
Under Bob's careful gaze she hugs his leg and is still in and out of a dreamlike state. When awake she cries, a pitiful thing with not much effort behind it.
When reunited with Bob and Lady Alexandria, Domayoku volunteers to help carry the addled fire mage until the group finds a place for her to rest.
Amadae appears besides the group with a big dopey grin on her face. She raises her finger for you to be quiet and nearly giggles herself, she seems drunk. She pulls out a handkerchief and with a flurry of two hands it is upon the building nearby and making a hallway of sorts. Dominique springs forth from the portable hole and a genie of some kind. You can see there is a hoard of treasure still within the hole.
With a failing flourish more of just a tumble to a sitting position, out of the hole he says, "Ta DAAA! Now we have a way of quickly getting the group from one location to another. Amadea and her wonderful abilities of teleportation can take us to locations she has been before. Within this whole the rest of us get to transport with her!" He explains quickly the reasoning.

"Well done, Guild leader", Domayoku nods. "I'm for heading back to base."
"With our new arrangements I shall return with you as well!" He offers and walks back into the portable hole.
Lady Ekaterina, Bob, Ginza, and Domayoku head out to the South. After a long day of travel you get back to your keep. With Bob's ability to transfer healing the forced march is much easier, the last few hours he uses some healing spells to augment what the group needs.
You find Amadea and Dominique waiting for you at the front gate.
As charisma oozes from his being, he merrily relays, "Very much so, we have added a dragon's hoard, among other things to our vast wealth. We also have a new friend that will be aiding the keep in all matters, Gem, a genie that now has his best intentions of the fruition of our great guild! I thought you would prefer to teleport but alas none of you joined me. We have had the last day sorting out things here."
With that settled you teleported back to the group...
Apparently they wanted some exercise. Dom would have nudged you at this pun and would say, "I have better ideas of how to exercise!" The innuendo blatant in his words.
Having nearly a full day before they would arrive he got to work moving the hoard into the coin vault. Then began sorting the vaults.
I shot some hags in the face that were running a human meat pastry in the nearby town, we joinked a spooky chest and found a new ally. But introductions will have to wait for a bit.
Ekaterina nearly runs off into a bath, after showing Elsahira her new suite, which also has a bath, a large bed, a selection of clothing prepared and a nice view of the hydroponic garden.
Ekaterina is meanwhile taking a shower, and singing, which is actually pretty nice in her case.
Sooory guys, hair drying will take a bit! She telepahtically informs the party.
"Dominique here found a dragon's den, and stirred up a bit more than he could handle. He took down one of them in the end, while I bagged the other three."
She holds up of the severed heads, still hanging from the chain acquired in the castle.
"They're going to look marvelous once we get them mounted."
"The hoard will be useful as well; plenty of local currency we can use to start dealing with the natives."
She gladly lets Ekaterina lead, or drag, her to her new suite. She takes her time cleaning using different types of soap and other selections. Then she lies naked upon the bed and quickly falls asleep, exhaustion catching up to her.
a few magical items to your right and left as you move the cone to just get a sense of how many. Maybe a dozen or two in magical items. You don't sense or see any traps or anything out of the ordinary except for the figure pounding on the wall. There is an invisible throne and chest.
throne, chest, 15 scrolls, a wand, a ring, 8 potions, a weapon, and a suit of armor.
Ginza upon returning to the castle splits up literally as his individual components separate themselves from his main body.
Without missing a beat, he resumes in checking the castle's supplies and ensures that the kitchens are roaring up their fires in anticipation of feeding the residents.
