Yes.

The trip back is uneventful enough - nothing at the entrance is awry from what you'd expect.

[Nephrite]

Let's take the poor guy we met back to to sort out, and find out what everyone wants to do about the place before we worry about the treasure.

[Anastasia]

Okay, how are you going to sort out that poor guy, first of all?

[Nephrite]

Good question, I guess probably let him rest and see if it seems like he's under any kind of stress or mental strain - he likely needs some spells to help him out.

[Anastasia]

With that the party heads out and returns, "Nice haul," Sylvie says when she gets back, "Brings back memories of Aurora."

"Still, I wonder if the treasure's worthwhile beyond the fragment of the Wheel?" Jetina muses aloud.

[Nephrite]

"Probably not." Moore says. "Lady Sanzha, as that place has significance to the marid, I leave the decision for how we proceed up to you. There's plenty more to explore, but if you believe it left to others then I will adhere to your will on that."

[Anastasia]

"Hm, hm, hm," A soft chuckle from Sanzha, "Now that you've taken the choicest rewards and left behind the remnants, you could present it to the Padisha and let her deal with the mess. As a matter of the marid, she could not ignore it due to politics. It is possible that if any families have a claim to inheritances to the treasures within they could attempt to get them from you, but they have very little recourse against the deities of another realm."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles quietly. "I have no issues returning any items to the marid that rightfully belong to them. Or... to return to you to decide what to do with." He adds with a small laugh. "I'm sure there's quite a few other things there, like whatever it is Ishtia has hidden away."

[Anastasia]

I'd comment on your typo of Istishia, but he tends to make it up and change as she sees fit.

"Still, a job well done," Sanzha agrees, as...

I presume a treasure IDing is in order?

[Nephrite]

Yes. Sanzha is welcome to stay for this part, if there's anything she wants she's welcome to it, or if she wants to just rub it in the Padisha's face Moore isn't going to tell her what to do.

He'd suggest she be nice, though her definition of nice is a little different than his. :)

[Anastasia]

Okay, I'll do that in the morning. For the sake of effort, is there anything in particular you're looking for in the loot?

[Nephrite]

Not really, I guess anything we'd actually like... equip and use, or turn into something we might equip and use.

[Nephrite]

Assuming the loot stuff is handled, if there's anything else to do he'll do it, but his next step will be to write a letter to the Padisha informing her of this and let her decide what she wants to do.

He'll hand it off to whoever to deliver to her court.

Something along the lines of:

To the Padisha of the marid, Maharaja of the Waves,


I hope this letter finds you well. We have recently been to Ereshin Palace and recovered a great deal of items from it. I would be remiss if I did not reach out to you to find out if there are any items that you would like to have returned to the marid people.

While we were there, we also came across the root causes of the issues that Ereshin has to offer. I believe that we could resolve them and stabilize the Palace, should you wish that to be done.

If you wish to meet to discuss this matter, please feel free to contact me either directly or via another means.

Okay, add a Diplomacy check to that. -5 for various reasons.
