!!!! (Surraruthru, 88 days left)

[Anastasia]

That's worth a Diplo check.

[Iron Dragoon]

> roll 1d20+39 Diplo
<Serith> Iddy roll for Serith < 49 > [d20=10]

[Anastasia]

"You'll give me all the research and data you get on it?" The half elf immediately asks.

[Iron Dragoon]

"With the caveat that you make it available for reference after you've processed it. It'd do no good for you to be the only one who had access while other primes suffer wounds. If it leads you to a way to protect or fix primes from those types of wounds, I expect the method you develop to be open to all."

[Anastasia]

"That's a hell of a deal, but fine," The half elf says, sticking his hand out.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru stares at the curious humanoid gesture but places a claw in the offered hand.

[Anastasia]

It's an awkward hand-claw shake, but you  manage it. He's vigorous, pumping your claw up and down. "Splendid! I can have it ready in...mmm....how fast do you need it?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Today, preferably. Realistically as soon as you possibly can. I still need to integrate it into my ritual and then start the memory imprints from as many people as possible. The more time, the more people, the stronger it will be."

[Anastasia]

"Three days at the fastest, and I'll need another 15,000 to hire helpers on the quick," he says, "Six to eight days otherwise."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru looks pained as he pulls out the additional gold.

"Make it fast and do not lose quality."

[Anastasia]

Sylvie glances at you, "Oh, you do have the money? Good. I didn't want to have to pick that up unless I had to."

The gold is all taken, "Then three days. Come back then, around this time. I'll Sending you if it takes longer or shorter than expected."

Post the expense.

[Iron Dragoon]

Loot posted.

"Thank you, I'll return then. Kascha? Sylvie? Any knowledge you'd like to look into while we're here?"

[Anastasia]

"I'd love to, but not now," Sylvie says, "We need to get back to Aurora."

"We don't have time to chase that," Kascha agrees, "Once we've won, you can take me back here, Surraruthru."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods.

"Kascha, I plan to visit the Cauldron next and contact Lady Amryl and Seira, then the Gates of the Moon if you'd like to come."

[Anastasia]

"Of course," Kascha smiles.

Next move then?
