Gyrthr waves his hand dismissively. "No. Without the obligation to the Summoners, we are quite content to carve out a more peaceful life."

Gyrthr smirks. "I'll go get Svanna." He turns and heads into the kitchen.
"And you," Gyrthr says to the duskwalker. "Been keeping out of trouble? I know it's only been a few hours but I thought I'd ask."
Gyrthr glances at the half-elf, then nods. "Come on in." He steps aside to let the trio enter.
Gyrthr opens the door. "Evening. What brings you by?"
Gyrthr watches Toni with a passive expression. "Svanna and I will stay here. At least, there is less violence in this town than our homeland. You are all free to visit us whenever you like." He takes Svanna's arm and heads back to their house.
"Go ahead."
Gyrthr shrugs. "You can always learn a new path, Laenid. I am willing to put this behind me and concentrate on having a family."
"Unaware," Gyrthr answers. "Which would spare my conscience."
Gyrthr nods solemnly. "That may be best, so that we are not used against our wishes." He goes to get Svanna. "We are ready."
Gyrthr opens the door and takes in Toska and Auric's appearance. "I take it that diplomacy didn't go over well."
Gyrthr sighs and grimaces before answering. "A fisherman is letting us rent it for the day." He then looks at the Szef. "It's going to be a bit of coin if you don't bring it back."
Gyrthr stands by a fishing vessel with Svanna and waves the group over. "Ready to sail when you are, Szef."
"We'll meet you at the docks," Gyrthr says, taking Svanna's hand.
Gyrthr grunts. "I better go down to the docks and see about getting us a bigger boat that can handle that trip."
Gyrthr walks in with Svanna. "Everything is fine. We were just giving Toni some time to sleep and wanted to ask you if you'd like to come along and help with a problem before it becomes a bigger problem."
"I think they're staying by the beach," Gyrthr says.
Gyrthr nods and stand up. He offers his hand to Svanna. "Hopefully, today will go more smoothly than yesterday."
"I'm not sure that is a quality all of us should have," Gyrthr comments.
Gyrthr smiles. "We can't really judge each other on who we are, only by what we do."
"Sometimes, you have to settle for 'okay'," Gyrthr says. "We won this battle, but we may lose the next one. We aren't an elite fighting unit...we're just...gifted people. I'm not sure how we can achieve 'better'."
"So, what sort of warrior are you?" Gyrthr asks Toska. "I mean no offense by the question, but I was curious as to what skills you have."
"I'm sure there are more than a few bad apples out there," Gyrthr says. "Summoners who only see their eidolons as tools to be used."
"I doubt I'd like being at someone's beck and call."
Gyrthr looks a little puzzled for a moment before shrugging. "I suppose I'll put my faith in the Szef for now."
"I meant if we had a plan to deal with these people," Gyrthr says. "Violence didn't yield great results."
"I don't see why not," Gyrthr says. "Do we have some sort of plan for our return?"
"You're free to spend your time here," Gyrthr says, stepping aside to let the duo enter. "I'm afraid you're a bit late for breakfast."
Gyrthr opens the door. "Good morning, Toska. And to you too, Auric. What's going on?"
Gyrthr gives the group a brief nod before heading home with Svanna.
Gyrthr turns to the rest of the group, Svanna beside him. "Do you think you can handle the rest of this without our help? I don't think having all of us would help matters."
Gyrthr looks to Drago. "Who should we take them to?"
Gyrthr dismisses Wulfgran then escorts one of the other ones to the same rowboat. "Drago, Svanna and I will take these two in one boat. Auric, take this other one with you, Toska and Sareash. We will meet at the docks."
"I am sure there is someone back in town who can make them talk," Gyrthr says with a shrug. "At least, probably less violently than we can."
With nothing he could possibly do at this point, Gyrthr remains where he is.
Gyrthr hurries to join the rest of the group.
"Let's go introduce ourselves," Gyrthr says.
Gyrthr scratches his nose. "We'd have to learn what sort enchantment that crystal has and dispel it, if possible. Though I doubt we can. We should search out these servants of the dragon, instead."
"That was a bit troublesome," Gyrthr remarks.
Gyrthr quickly switches places with Wulfgran before grabbing part of Auric and teleporting back on land.
"There wasn't a need until now," Gyrthr chides.
"I suppose that would be the quicker solution," Gyrthr says. "Wait a moment while I summon my eidolon." The half-orc closes his eyes and calls forth a two headed wolf.
"Svanna says someone will have to enter the water to provoke it or...we could find something suitable for it to eat and lure it away," Gyrthr says. "I think we could handle either situation, just depends on how much energy we want to use on a snake."
Gyrthr relays the information he gleaned to the group. "I suppose we'd have to get rid of the snake, unless someone here is a secret snake charmer."
Gyrthr ponders the question for a moment.
"There's a large snake in the water," Gyrthr says to the others.
Gyrthr nods. "We will follow behind you."
"Svanna says that we have not been in a craft so small," Gyrthr translates. "Garhazan isn't known for its bodies of water, either."
Gyrthr shrugs. "Maybe we can borrow one?"
Gyrthr shakes his head. "It was only a matter of time before we would have to take action. Better sooner than later."
