- Y'shtola is ready to move.
The bag is sealed tight, but I'd rather not keep the bees buzzing about in there longer than we have to.
|
The Children's settlement is to the west, a place they call Woven Oath.
|
According to the guard, there is an airway apart from the entrance which leads to the spiders' nests.
|
If the fates are kind, the way will be clear.
|
We should move quickly, before any of the Children arrive.
|
Up there is the airway. Do you see it?
|
A bit far, perhaps, but we should be able to toss the bag through.
|
Though we should probably loosen the ropes keeping it closed. Enough that it falls open when it lands inside.
|
That should do it. Now we wait...
|
Bees! By the abyss, they're everywhere!
|
Help! Someone help! We have to save the spiders!
|
It sounds like our plan is working.
|
Still, it is quite likely not all were drawn away from their posts.
|
If you should come to blows with the Children, I'll see to it any signs of struggle are concealed. Failing that, I'll create a distraction to buy Y'shtola more time.
|
Should anyone get past me, it falls to you to guard her.
|
Your concern is appreciated, but I sincerely doubt it will come to that.
|
Why do I get the feeling you enjoy the idea of my loafing about bored in the shadows?
|
Come now, Thancred. The shadows are a fitting place for a Warrior of Darkness. Now, if you both are ready?
|
Go on. I'll be right behind you.
|
The Font of Seeing suggests this is a chamber for prayer. At the very least, they would not place this near potential distractions from their worship.
|
Perhaps the monument is further in.
|
I will be but a moment. Keep watch of the entryway.
|
On second thought, would you mind examining the murals on these walls while I look over this?
|
At a glance, I can tell they are old. Predating the founding of the Blessed and the Children, in fact.
|
We're not like to come here a second time. 'Twould behoove us to learn all that we can.
|
Hmmm... Then what does this mean...?
|
Good to see my distraction proved successful.
|
I believe I now have everything needed to finish deciphering the tablet.
|
Tell me, Forename, did the murals appear to be of any significance?
|
Depictions of heroes? From the age of gods, the Ronkan Empire, and immediately before the Flood.
|
Very astute observations. Perhaps in another lifetime you could be a curator of antiquities.
|
Though it has no bearing on the task at hand, perhaps that knowledge may prove to be of use in the future.
