Re: Unity Act 2: Dark Visions
The King listens to the conversation, looks over at the Sheriff, then back to the others.
"Indeed," he says, "The Sheriff and I were just discussing whom he would like to send on the follow-up investigation of the man we suspect mind-controlled those kobolds. Bridget will be leading that group, followed by Eli, Freedom, Micheal, and Gilant. Which leaves the the rest of you for this mission to investigate these visions. Sheriff?
"I don't see any crime being committed in their having visions," The Sheriff answers with a shrug, "They're free to come and go as they please. There's no warrant or bounty promised for discovering the meaning behind what they saw, so I have no jurisdiction in this other investigation."
The King rubs his chin.
"In other words, Unity's official law-enforcement stance is that you have no official sanction for investigating those visions. Well. You have my approval at least for what it's worth. Needless to say, I'm sure Unity will be much more officially grateful should you manage to save a city from destruction or a nation from war. I will speak with my brother as time allows, and perhaps he'll make your quest more official. But until then, it's up to your individual sense of heroism... or respect for forces of nature... however you care to label it... to organize and mobilize your team. I'm sure there's no law against you traveling along side the official team on your way to Southport..."
He glances again at the Sheriff who again shrugs.
"Thank you for keeping me abreast of the situation. Eli..."
He hugs his son.
"I'll miss you. Stay safe, keep in touch, and make your family proud."
He gives his son a sending stone.
"The rest of you, godspeed."
Eli's dad and his guard leave the room. The Sheriff looks at Bridget.
"You have your orders. I know you'll do a good job. If you can't find the Githyanki... don't waste any time trying to locate him and just proceed without him. He was put into your team over my objection."
