Gold rush

[Anastasia]

Quick question since I need it for another thread: Have you mentioned the entire Mask debacle with other nodes? Mask came up in Alicia's thread.

[Nephrite]

He mentioned it to Erathaol and they were investigating on the Celestia side. He hadn't mentioned it since it wasn't a sure thing.

[Anastasia]

Thank you.

You head out and take to the air, the gith giving you a wide berth. Once up and away from the ship, "What a miserable stroke of fortune that was," she declares, "I wasn't aware I insulted Tymora that badly."

[Nephrite]

"Well, I'm glad we could help." He says. "That guy's probably going to get executed when Vlaakith finds out or hears about this." He says.

A shrug and a shake of his head. "Why were you even out here, anyway?"

[Anastasia]

"Couldn't happen to a better gith," Canderella's expression is all sharp smiles as she flies along with you. "Portal mishap, but I wasn't in a hurry to get back," she explains, "And it seemed like easy salvage or at least interesting. I still don't know what happened at that ruin."

[Nephrite]

"It'll be easy enough to find out once we get there." Moore says. "We might even be able to turn this to a further advantage for you - if we find who did it you can use that as some leverage against Vlaakith or something if you want. Well, not to mention we'll just beat them up probably and make better use of their stuff."

He glances at Xandra as if expecting her to say something, "That's just a blunt way of me saying 'we'll liberate their valuables and put them to good use,' but I think you know that." He says with an added smile.

[Anastasia]

"It is obvious," Xandra says, "What remains after all of that."

[Nephrite]

A bright smile as he nods to Canderella. "Lead the way. If it's easier, we can go back to Hope's Landing first then come back here." He suggests.

[Anastasia]

"It shouldn't take us that long, I've been there," Canderella says, flying on.

You fly.

As you do?

Hello, Moore.

The voice whispers as if close, and you can almost feel hot breath against your neck.

[Nephrite]

Hello, Shar. What do you want?

A sour look on his face as they fly.

'We may have to get out of here.' He says to the others. 'Keep going for now.'


Even doing so, he notifies Cresiel and Kaja to be ready in case of shenanigans.

[Anastasia]

'What's wrong?' Canderella asks, as the others already prepare.

I see you've failed again. All that bluster and yet you cower, unwilling to go forth.

[Nephrite]

'Shar.' Is his response.

What in the world are you talking about?

[Anastasia]

That fortress that has what you so desire, and yet here you are instead.
