Padisha's Dance (Moore, Tryll; 85 days left)

[Yuthirin]

"Yeah! Devils are bad! Adventurers are neato!" Calleigh chips in.

[Anastasia]

"I can do it," Barren the Bold says, "I already have some in my lab, I've been researching this. Just give me 1,000 gold coins to cover the costs of creating a new batch."

[Yuthirin]

"Oh. That's easy!" Calleigh says, reaching into her tiny bag of holding and pulling a disproportionately-large bag of gold out. "Lemme count it out for you! One, two, three, five..."

[Nephrite]

Hit the nail on the head, did he?

That seems like a fair price, if nothing else. He looks to Tryll and then to Calleigh.

He covers his mouth with a hand and coughs.

[Anastasia]

"Four," Bubbles corrects automatically.

Okay, going to pay him and get the essence?

[Yuthirin]

"Oh, right! Four, six, seven, nine..."

Tryll is blatantly quiet.

Yep. We'll get there eventually.

[Nephrite]

"Patience is something that one has to learn through experience." Moore helpfully adds.

[Anastasia]

Soon enough the gold is finally counted and you are given a bottle of essence. It's like the other essences, only squiddish.

Next move?

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh stores away the bottle. "Thanks, elfy!"

I believe that's everything I was after, so we're all done unless Moore has anything he wishes to accomplish here?

As a side note, establishing a friendly relationship with the squid and creatures here wouldn't be a terrible idea. More help from any angle is always welcome.

[Nephrite]

Moore's business was helping Tryll, he doesn't have anything else to do here unless something calls his attention when they're leaving.

[Anastasia]

Okay then, do you two want to spend time here trying to set that up or move along? Making friends and allies with them, that is?

[Nephrite]

It's probably best for us to get back and save this for after Lifasa. i mean, they're not going anywhere!

[Anastasia]

Great, you're all done with gathering. Now what?

[Nephrite]

I presume Tryll is going to do that ritual thing. If Moore can help out with it at all he will, otherwise it's probably high time for that golem to get built.

[Yuthirin]

We need to visit Lathander for that first, I think. We need a bunch of his power to make it work right.

I'm ready as I'll get for the ritual.
