"Hmmmmm. Aref, I don't know if dis friend has a tunnel, but dere's always Gulaf's Trading Post inside the North Sandwall Gate. His son is married to my second cousin... or is she tird cousin?! Matters not! He knows of Draka and he may give you passage in exchange for some of dis equipment you carry in sacks." <Draka waves his hand at the equipment loot from the Lost Temple.> "He can get you from the edge of the city all de way to the docks I hear." Man, I have no idea what stuff you kept. You have books, some arms and equipment....
<Draka stabilizes the man. He also stabilizes the rogue who started the fight. For the others he can do nothing.> "Roshan, have Zebul throw these on the cart and take them somewhere. The dead out through the hole. Quickly, quickly. AKILARA! XOSHANA! RAEADRA! BRING THE WINE! Sit down please everyone." To Aref quietly: "You've outdone yourself, what in the name of Sarenrae have you brought back from the sands this time?"
"It leads to ze glassblower's storage room next door. His vife is my sister, as Aref knows." <He motions out the door.> "The vite door beside this room has a vater tank and a dweomered chamber pot. No stink." "Xoshenna vill bring some basins. Come upstairs for some foods ven you are ready and Akilara vill dance for you."
As you enter the yard Drasheer makes his way to a creaky shelter with a water trough and manger. A brown pony gnashes it teeth at Drasheer but before long the two whinnying and braying at each other like old friends. Draka speaks in guttural rolling Rs: "Always a pleasure to have Aref in my palace. Your chambers are unoccupied other than a few crates and barrels which we shall pretend we are not seeing, right my new friends?" "First some food? Inside." |
