"We've done what I hope is the hard part: establishing a power base. Its hard to scour a continent for a specific dragon hiding away in a cave without resources. We've done that. We have local cover, money, and agents now.

Peter is offended, and doesn't contain it very well...

"And you're rude! Seems like I'm stronger than your pantheon at the moment!"

"I have no doubt you can run around Tar-Bilik in circles right now. But is that because of your Godling abilities, or your other magic? Once I restore the portals, you will see how powerful the pantheon is. Don't judge them by their sleeping state. And don't poke dragons just because they're tied down."

The woman speaks up: "And you haven't seen those gods and goddesses use the power they do have. There is enough, if conserved."

"Using my small, weak abilities. Obviously. Funny a god doesn't know that..."

Woman: "Do you get pleasure from rejoicing in the weaknesses of others?"


Ink Thur: "My godhood is far less relevant this far from home. There is a reason I sent my mage away. temper your expectations and humor me. You are not a type of being I have encountered before."

"They were not doing alright, they took to enslaving people. I'm fixed that for the moment, but your city's leaders have to think more about the little guy. I'm working on that too."

Ink Thur: "The american perspective. I should have anticipated that. let me clarify"


"Are they starving? Are they subjugated? have they started any wars? Do they remain loyal to their gods? That city has always had an over-inflated sense of its own importance."


"Enslaving is odd though. They have plenty of labor, what they would have been short of is food."

Peter will relay what information he has as well as any dangling questions the Thurmans had that he's been unable to ask until now.

The big one was "Where is Ink-Thur?" He wants you to tell them he is approaching the enemy, but the enemy is trying to hide. "Please do not give details of this world or my disguise".



They also want him to confirm the special privileges that Tuvo Kyridas has gained. "This appears quite complex. Tell them I make no judgement as of yet. But it seems to be connected to if I approve of you or not."

"The only evidence of them I've seen was a pair of identical dead sky gods."

"We've done what I hope is the hard part: establishing a power base. Its hard to scour a continent for a specific dragon hiding away in a cave without resources. We've done that. We have local cover, money, and agents now.

"So, like really for real dragons? I can't wait to meet one!"

"Of course not, I'm not weak or that small, and I'm not going to carry messages around for people who don't treat me with respect, even if they call themselves gods."

The people are not in good shape and they are not getting enough food... I'm working on setting up fair trade with the Americans to help with that. Thuroma is quite powerful right now, because they have me, and can trade the information I bring back for other gods for Thuroman gain. "

"Enslaving is odd though. They have plenty of labor, what they would have been short of is food."

"I think they were trading them back to the Americans for supplies and information mostly, I'm not really sure tho. "

Peter shares what he knows...

"Good. The measures are working then."

"So, like really for real dragons? I can't wait to meet one!"

"Yes. I'd advise to stay away unless you're ready for a fight. Dragons are dangerous."

"Of course not, I'm not weak or that small, and I'm not going to carry messages around for people who don't treat me with respect, even if they call themselves gods."

Ink Thur: "You're not carrying the message for me, you're carrying the message from me. Its convenient to me, yes, but you have already been paid."


"I have no desire to offend you, only to seek the respect which is due to me and my kind. Which you are not. You are something else."

Ink Thur: "It appears you are dealing with the problems as you see fit. I will thank you for that. The city will be in better shape when I return."

"I think they were trading them back to the Americans for supplies and information mostly, I'm not really sure tho. "

Ink Thur: "That could possibly work. If they were working with a different group."

Peter shares what he knows...

Ink Thur says he's not interested again, he'll take care of it after he gets back. "They have a government, they don't need me to figure out the little petty stuff like this."

[the_matrix_walker]

Peter is mollified, feeling Inl Thur is being more respectful.
He considers a moment, and gives a bow of respect.
"I was rude too. I'm sorry."

Peter's mind races. He weighs who may need his help most and is distracted by thoughts of meeting dragons...

[ericthered]

Woman: "Also, please be sure to tell them when we restore the world the sky will be coming back with the moon and sun and stars."


Ink Thur doesn't acknowledge the apology.



"So those are the questions. If you make it off this world before we do."

[the_matrix_walker]

...

Peter rejoins the infinity crew to assist in their extraction.

[ericthered]

The woman makes sure to mention her name is Zin Sel, Master and Mistress of the Moon.



Ink Thur says he's going by the name Incarius around here, and please don't blow his cover. Incarius Black, should a specifier be needed.


Peter returns to the infinity crew.



Leon: "Who was that?"

[the_matrix_walker]

If Peter was interrupted and no one has heard the name...

"No one of importance. A waste of time, apparently."

[ericthered]

Well, Peter did shout the name with magical backing behind it...


Leon: "So that wasn't the God you were looking for? do we need to keep looking?"


(Leon rolled a 5 on detect lies and he's trained, while Peter rolled a 12. Or Leon pieced things together from hearing the name twice.)

[the_matrix_walker]

Peter replies with a shrug.. "no we're good... Let's just forget that whole thing..." He says with a wink. He will help them get to where they need to go.
