"Surprisingly mellow about getting shot through the heart, chirp."  Terdisas nods,  "While they have a certain serenity about them, There can easily be too much of such in some situations."

Emerald huhs. "I'll be curious to know more. By talking with her m'self, that is." she goes to grab the papers. "Pure conjecture... do you think she serves the evil gods alongside the good ones?"

Lucky headshakes.

"Her predictions came true every single time," Lucky answers, "I doubt any of the evil gods are generous with information about the future with someone striving for peace and mercy, so I'm guessing her primary source is the good ones.  That she's able to talk with members of evil churches without them killing her is about as much proof of her being evil as being able to talk to Barrowmount's king without him declaring war on you would be."

"Shot through the heart?" Panch asks.

  "Roughly seven seconds after declaring we would be attacked, arrow straight through the chest and out her back.  Predictions coming true tend to be less pleasant when such predictions are the unfortunate sort.  I'm sure the darker gods would be more than happy to inform her of that detail."

Emerald says, "Can't say I've been shot through the heart yet. Poor gal." She looks at Panch. "See anything on the board worth going after?"

Bridget enters the room. Emerald waves. "Oh hi, Officer Bordecelli."

"Always looking on the bright side of life, Terdisas," Lucky says with some sarcasm.

"Hard to say," Panch answers Emerald's question.

Lucky smiles at Bridget.

"Any news on those prisoners, Officer?"

  "Well, the bright side is that she didn't die thanks to you.  Though I would still have preferred if she were not harmed in such a manner in the first place, so wide optimism was a bust."  They turn, and wave hello top the latest arrival, "Hello again, I hope any news you have happens to be a more pleasant sort."

Bridget nods in greeting to those who greeted her. Then looks at Lucky. "The prisoners will be punished. But their misunderstanding was genuine. One of them is going to be executed, however, as he was a plant and had no misunderstandings when persuading the others to attack. The others will get light sentencing, but are already understanding how grave their misunderstanding was. Two of them are swearing off swords for life."

She looks at Emerald. "Do you have what I asked of you?"

Emerald nods and hands the parchment papers to Bridget.

"Well that explains a lot," Lucky says, "I guess then the genuine ones were rather poor at conveying all the details that convinced them to attack Antionette.  Glad to hear justice was done.  I would rather her trip not be needed in the first place, Terdisas, but both of us know that stuff like that is highly unlikely."

He looks at the exchange curiously.

"What's that?"

  "Tweet, it's a stack of papers, duh."  My, how helpful as ever Superbird.  "Well, I suppose the things we'd rather not happen are why there is need for this establishment in the first place Lucky."

Emerald answers Lucky cautiously, "Stuff I know about a couple of the prisoners..."

Bridget says, "Thank you, Ms Haynsworth. I must be off now." she nods to the others and heads out.

"I'm sure we'd both be plenty satisfied if there were no need for this place," Lucky answers, "You ok, Emerald?"

  Terdisas merely nods to Lucky, not mentioning a world where an Adventurer's guild has no purpose would also be one Divine services would also be pointless... Well, okay, so some of those rituals are kinda handy.  Go figure that materialism would make Divine influence (as well as the pure arcane sort of ritual) more widely practical than adventuring in general.

  He waves goodbye to Bridget, and comments "Emerald is merely being mysterious again Lucky.  If it is something important we know, we will find out soon enough."

Emerald looks around and then says in a hushed tone. "The two prisoners I gave info on are friends of mine. I'm being careful about who I tell because I heard from the grapevine about what Mittens wished on them. If she knew I was their friend..."

"I'm kinda flattered you'd trust me well enough to not hold a grudge against the guys who tried to kill me," Lucky says, "Your friends secrets are safe with me.  As for whether you have to be careful about that with Mittens...  I can have a talk with her and find out if she'll let up on the vendetta after she knows that they were deceived.  Well...  Me and her siblings.  I've noticed she tends to be more open to reason with them being the ones reasoning."

  Terdisas can not comment on Emeralds wisdom in friend selection.  After all, he is included in that list.  "The fact they were more directly deceived, as opposed to acting purely out of idiocy does take the edge off somewhat.  Though I do believe Lucky has a valid point for when best to bring it up, if at all."

Yup. That's Emerald. All Cha and Dex. No Wis.

Emerald says, "Heh... um... so anyway. I'm sorry you guys had a hard time. What else is new?"

Lucky snirks.

"Besides us having a hard time?" Lucky answers with a smile, "Nothing much on my end."

  Terdisas nods,  "We have only just returned, after all.  Though, I did at least have time to get a drink."  Yay coffee.  Superbird flutters over to take a peek at the board, because they think they TOTALY can see what's on there and not have a hard time saying what's interesting and what's boring.

  Also, Superbird is incredibly modest.

Emerald says, "Well, not much in the way of news on my end either... besides, you know... the bit with finding out you guys were attacked. Oh! I put together a new spell." she says with a bright smile.

"Let's see it, then," Lucky says with a smile, "Unless it's the kind that can't be safely demonstrated here."

  Superbird asides to Panch as they read the board, "Tweet, so, how many of the dust collecting ones do you think have already been solved with nobody knowing?"  Hey, wandering adventures happen all the time.

  Terdisas considers Emerald and Lucky's comment, and says "It would be unfortunate if you took out your favorite chair in a demonstration, true."

Emerald says, "Oh... it's just an upgrade of that one you've seen me use before where I cause the enemy to blunder. Though it's a lot more... I just compel them to go somewhere. How about you?"

Because we "level" every 10 logs, so we are all now level 3.

Lucky chuckles.

"Sounds like fun.  Me?  I got one that makes allies slightly more likely to hit stuff."

(( Actually I have no idea his level 3 pick, so this may change by log 31. ))

  "Oh, you know.  Just more of the same when it comes to smashing someone upside the skull with ice."  You picked a level 1 power for your level 3 pick, you so crazy.

  Meanwhile, Superbird considers attempting to perch on Panch's head.  But decides against it because they like existing and those short rests take a subjective eternity when you don't.
