That was fun! Especially when I get to sit and watch you all argue with a lawyer who ends up killing his own client. Brew, having Lorimer taunt Tyrra with his Thieve's Cant rendition was awesome. Great fun. Glad I could make it.

Gotta love management. "Oh, you need a day off? Here, have one in two weeks." *two weeks later* "Oh remember that day off? Yeah, gotta wait one more day for it."

Is it too late for a newcomer to come to observe?

I'm glad to hear you have time to quest! Looking forward to getting involved in something. 4-7 pm is a perfect time for me most nights.

Tyrra read the list, slowly. She knew it wasn't Andrew, considering he wasn't malicious and was a 'friend.' Farros... maybe. He seemed to delight in his chaotic little show, so messing with Tyrra's image wouldn't be outside his perview, but she didn't think he had the magical skill for that. She'd have to have a chat with him. Forresta seemed unhappy to be there, and druidic magic doesn't generally allow for the transfiguring of others. So either Jack or Bianca remained, and she recalled Bianca being somewhat confident she would win. With that in mind, she left a 'tip' on Diddly's desk, and made her way out of the store unnoticed.

Just plugging for my blog again! Into week to and have 7 posts. I'm having a lot of fun doing this, too. Feel free to share it on social media if you do such things! And it will remain politics free, I promise! Only fun and interesting things will be there. But thank you to any who have read it and I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to leave comments here or on the blog, even to suggest more topics! My scope is admittedly limited, at the moment. Thanks again! "No politics, I promise."

She looks at each eyestalk individually, then the main again. "I can only prove myself, if you give me something with which to do so. But I will not lie to those that already trust me, as you have asked me to do. So what, now, would you have me do?"

"Are you going to tell me what's below or not? First you ask for some information about recent history and then telling me to leave so you can blow this place up. What's the deal? You're stand- floating with feet of one of the surface's best bards and you want to read a bunch of ancient books?" She walks in front Vespero, so she can look into his big central eye. "Are there more of those things down there?"

"I would need three things. First, I would still need to know what's below here, and along with that what drove out the dwarves. You alluded to knowing something about that. If the army decides to just build a fort above this mine, despite being collapsed, I at least have to know what's down deeper, and if it has the potential to come up from below. Second, I will not lie to my commander, because I will not be called a liar or a traitor just for your sake. If I'm going to tell him this place has collapsed, I have to have a good reason to collapse it, such as learning that some eldritch horror lives below you, and then it must be collapsed. Are you capable of such a feat?" //last minute addition "And if you can collapse it, what stops us from excavating the mine? As I stated earlier, I want to do right by you and my people. And the only reason I'm being hospitable to something most adventures would look to kill is because this is your home and I'd very much find making an unusual friend more beneficial than reclaiming this mine. So aside from that, I cannot explain my intentions much better, however, I would like you to look at something. My friend, Andrew, here sketched an abomination we found on the first level of this mine. Something I've never seen before, and something you may want to take a look at. Andrew?" She nudges her friend. "Show him what you found."

"I see only two reasonable purposes for this mine: The first is to resume mining it for ore, assuming anything of value remains; or to set up some form of military base, perhaps to create a proper presence in the area to deter aggression from Sagewald." Tyrra leans, trying to see the beholder's face, glancing at the stalks which are no doubt keeping an 'eye' on her. "I was not specifically told the end goal here. I was simply sent to scout the area and report back with what I find. A scholarly beholder will certainly make an interesting section of my report. . ."

"Not mentioning him is an option, yes, though that doesn't make him immune to what's going on up above. Especially with Milara on the loose. He may want this place himself. And he could certainly handle things on his own. Someone who created and controlled a dracolich could certainly handle puddings and manticores."

She glances at Andrew only to roll her eyes at his request for the orb to turn. "If he vapes us, I'm blaming you," she whispered at Andrew before turning to the Beholder. "Why should you help us. Valid question. In all honesty I can say that if you help us solve the mystery of this cave I will endeavor to help you remain here. And I would be lying if I didn't say that I would rather you were a friend to us up above than an enemy." She paused to sit near the edge of the rug. "Taur'en, the nation you live under, is currently fighting with Sagewald, which is not far from here, over these very hills. I would be much happier gaining an ally and working with you to either recover or protect this mine than have you forced out, especially if you were likely to fight. So what can we do to help us both get the best outcome?" //Minor edit. Almost said something that was the opposite of what I meant.

"So Vespero, if I may call you Vespero," Tyrra said, rubbing her hands together nervously, "what would help us convince you to help us?" She glanced at Andrew, who was happily sketching what he considered an 'excellent specimen to beholder.' Oh Andrew, she thought. "I could potentially fetch you something interesting from the Temple of Aragen. In fact, if you happen to have a tome that you no longer care for, I could perhaps use it to procure you something new and more fascinating. Perhaps a discertaion on the war of the Green Dragon Cult which raged not that long ago, compared to how long you seem to have been here." She gently nudged Andrew's foot with her own, not wanting to make him mark up his drawing. Silly Bard.

Vespero... Tyrra had seen Beholders before. The oft named Eye Tyrants lurked in the Deep, among other cavernous places, doing... whatever eye tyrants do. She assumed they either worked with or against Dark Elves, each for their own reasons, but this one seemed to do neither. He seemed content to be alone, and the fact it... he... this one prefered to talk to her instead of dominate her mind (or whatever other unpleasantness it was capable of) gave her some hope. It sat... floated among piles of books, and Tyrra secretly wondered how old some of them were, or were they came from. Perhaps they were left behind by the dwarves when they left? Regardless, Tyrra knew one thing. This beholder knew what was below, knew what drove out the dwarves, and knew now why she was there. Her mission was to find out what was in the mine. She knew half of what she came for. Drakes, manticores, and other unpleasant beasts lived in the first level of the cave, some 200 feet above her. Oozes seemed content to eat the cave from the inside-out 100 or so feet above where she currently was, and this level had a scholastic beholder. But 400 feet at least remained below her, based on Vespero's estimate, and that meant a potential four more floors of tempting fate against things worse than she's already faced. She already tempted the Soul Mother once on this venture. Would she again? If Vespero's offer to help was genuine, maybe not. But what do you use to bargain with a beholder?

Shortstack deserves some recognition. Clearly a veteran of RPing, had fun playing the mysterious figure role in Center, illuminating his fate as a Stonebound adventuer. Can't wait to get back in game with him(?). Kudos, and welcome, Shortstack

Some time later . . . . . . The second tunnel held more then Tyrra had bargained for. She had seen oozes before. Green ones. Black ones. Even the dreaded azure that huant dwarven dreams. But these otherwise common looking black puddings were more than she was prepared for, and she knew it, but it didn't stop her from making a very fatal mistake. She woke up at Andrew's feet, some time later, to a chorus of hissing, as acid continued to eat through the mundane parts of her attire. The lavender silk shawl she had worn for years was full of holes and smoking from the chemical reactions. Her exposed skin itched from burns healed in her resurrection, and she felt like a mass was moving in her chest. She wretched up black bile, and watched in horror as it creeped away, before Andrew froze it before kicking the black puck of ooze off into the darkness to shatter against a wall. It took her several moments to collect herself, but her first clear thought was, "Down." She had to see what else was here. The oozes were bad enough, but a well equipped mage could clear them out. She had to know if worse things are down there. But she wasn't expecting Vespero.

It can also lead to you losing valuable materials when you forgot you left an entire box of gem dusts on an alchemy table while making Heal potions..... ... Yes I did that!

"What I want to know is why it's here." She gave a silent prayer to Beryl that her cloak let her see in near total darkness. There were too many monsters down here, and did not intend to join the food chain. "And I'm still suspicious about why Taur'en wants this cave. We're awfully deep down, and I'm afraid that it could connect to the Deep." She then whispered in Andrew's ear. "Can you think of someone who would like a nice secret passage into Taur'en from down here?"
