In reply to Aoife (msg # 357):

Borug looks at her questioningly, as if there were a few words he didn't  understand.

Ardenas lets out a sigh.  "I don't think ogres have discovered sushi."  Turning to Borug, "The Sahudese love to eat raw fish rolled up in rice and seaweed.  Behave yourself, and that won't be you.

"Meanwhile, we still need to talk to Fergush and Margala.  Where are they?"

"Oh. Fish no fire is sushi... who eat rice? Bleagh! Fergush and Margala near bigger room, by water room."

"If we untie your feet, will you lead us there and help us persuade Fergush and Margala not to fight?"

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 361):

"I no fight Fergush."

No Fighd Anyone!

"Make Fergush not fight us?"

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 364):

"Or should I do that. I believe there is a cat around here somewhere that really likes fish..."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 364):

"I bring to Fergush, say NO Fight!"

"That's all we wanted.  Let us get your feet free, and then we'll follow you to Fergush."

Ardenas makes a "letting go" gesture toward Oly.

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 367):

Aoife smiles and waits well back, ready to follow.

"Then lead on, my ogre friend."

He grabs his scribal kit from his backpack in order to begin to sketch a crude map, in case they get lost or ambushed.

Oly relaxes the ropes and lets the Ogre rise as he gets some distance between himself the ogre.

In reply to Oly (msg # 370):

The ogre leads you around a turn, and past a metal faced door sculpted  to resemble a male troll with a prominent... knob.

In reply to Ogre (msg # 371):

Which Aoife promptly sits on to take a selfie...

In reply to Aoife (msg # 372):

The ogre bursts out in a huge guffaw, and doubles over laughing.
"Huurr hurr,you funny little ginger!"

Mancin follows on with the group, adding on to the map.  He pauses for a second to draw a picture of Aoife on the giant knob, finding it mildly humorous.

"Ogres have humor.  Interesting.", he muses to himself.

Ardenas joins in with a half-suppressed snicker.  "I'm guessing the new owner will have that replaced, unless he's a collector or some kind of sage.  Maybe you can buy it off his work crew."

Once Aoife has finished clowning, and the ogre finishes appreciating the hilarity, he gestures the group forward.

"Come on, Fergush awaits."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 375):

Aoife wastes no time in getting off the statue, with her mischievous smile, and following the others.

Her staff remains with a green glow, however...

In reply to Aoife (msg # 376):

"Funny door. He smile when turn up. Pictures inside, Fergush and Margala use room for private time."

"Are they inside now?  Perhaps we should let them finish their private time."

Turning to Oly, Ardenas whispers: "Or perhaps we should enter immediately, to catch them with their pants down.  See if you can spot something to tie Borug's leash onto."

Be nice! Ferguzh wouldn't be our friend afder an acd like dad.

"I suppose you're right."

Ardenas looks expectantly at Borug.

Mancini keeps sketching onto the map.

"Remember, we need them as friends, so no to the leash.  As amusing as a pet would be..."

"Well, Borug?  Are Fergush and Margala in there now?"
