I agree and follow.

Are you sure? I thought there was no unusual trade going on...

A figurative replacement, where the knight-shamans rule the community and it does what they want.

There is nothing recent. He collects the items they brought out of the mountain back when they did so more regularly though.

"We can play it that way. I'll go looking for these stone melders. Have you made any inroads on where they are?"

I don't think V has looked for them yet...

Vassarious would like to see the speech and get the details, but if we're set up to record it and the crowd with this technological divination, that will be helpful if we want to review it.

"Righto. I don't think the drones can go too far outside of town, but I think I could have them cover the guild lodge well enough to record anything they say about the stone melders. Failing that the drones probably locate their library or map room and I could break in there to find the locations of the stone melders."

There is not reason you can't do both...


Anything else to coordinate before the next steps?

No, I think we've agreed on our next move.

Does Vassarious have anything to do between the time of their meetup and the speech?


Halcyone spends some time directing swarms to various locations. One swarm to the location of the speech, and another to the lodge of the grand order. The swarm quickly picks up talk about "statue duty": The statues are kept in the basement of the order, kept frozen in blocks of ice by a rotating roster of Ice-wielding knight-shamans.
