- The next thoughts enter your mind and are not spoken vocally. And what can a being like you do that would provide sufficient to accommodate such a debt?

Re: February 21st:
- this is super spoiler relating to Z's super spoierlyness so don't read unless you are Zeiss who knows about Z's super spoierlyness:
- "The same thing that the other 'fleshlings' have done or are thought to likely do in the future to have received aid from your masters. The more I learn of this Gold Lord, the more my goals and Fiernaceals seem aligned, and yours seem quite aligned with hers or you would not be here. Though I'm sure your masters would believe me a pawn on their chessboard, I cannot help without that device and... the channels through which I would have normally operated for such maintenance are in chaos."

- Pawn? There is an odd sound of metal grating on wood that comes audibly from it. Fleshbeings are to be taken care of, nurtured, and aided from a distance. It is only recently we were compelled to interfere directly. The only thing required for your request to be accommodated is sufficient reasoning.

Re: February 21st:
As Zeiss was leaving town, Snarg came running to ask him to join the ritual for the Soul door. He simply nods to Snarg's request and follows him, saying to his bodyguards to guard the wagon and wait for him.

On the way back, Snarg matches pace with Zeiss to speak with him. "By the way, Zeiss, I, er, sent you a letter today. Thought we'd be meeting up later, but ... just decide when you read it, yep? Thanks!"

Sethos, who has spent the hour napping in the barracks awakes at it's end and strolls back to the room of arguing and excellent seating as he stinks up the hallways with his pipe weed and explains to Taku why everybody argues so much in the group. Once there he'll wait until everybody's ready to go, spending his time explaining other things to Taku whilst rolling him into a ball and letting him roll himself around the room as he yips in delight.

Re: February 21st:
- more spoilery stuffs of DOOM!:
- "... I just need... a...good reason?"
*Z shakes her head.*
"Well what is my reason for anything I do... It is my goal to survive and live in a state which allows me to function within normal society and help innocents who are unable to help themselves. I wish to provide aid to those who are unable to secure it for themselves, for those to whom no one would provide it willingly, and to destroy or otherwise incapacitate those who would jeopardize that. In order to do this I need ... to be seen as something which I am not, a normal... fleshling. I'm sure it is within your ability to hypothesis what would... how people would react upon seeing my true form. Though I saw only the beginnings of my morphing, I know that I am not like others of my kind... I am something far more... grotesque... monstrous. The people would run in fear at the very best case scenario, at the worst... I myself would either be captured or killed and the others like me... their treatment would be far more sever. We would likely see a return to the old days where my kind were killed on sight, baby's strangled, children stoned, and while their current situation is difficult... we are at least allowed to survive... if we are strong enough..."
*She shakes her head realizing she had been rambling.*
"Look, if I am not to exile myself for the rest of my existence I need that device to function. Is that not reason enough?"

Gwydo sighs, shaking his head as if he has made a weighted decision, and approaches the emissary.
"Scarecrow, as much as it pains me to ask, please consider adding me to your group. While I agree that Gaerlan must be stopped, we are not ready. Therefore, those that are going with you must have as much potential healing as possible. I'll have to go with them if they are to survive."
Squaring his shoulders and raising his head as if a great weight had been lifted, Gwydo walks proudly away from the creature.
As he sits back on the grass, if you listen closely you can hear him praying.

"As previously stated Kezrinthka of Worker is in Central territory. No information present on clanless Andrei."
Rory:
While you don't find much that you understand, due to the Scion's infuriating tendency to not write anything down but have it all mentally projected, you do find in your searches, after getting somewhat lost, you notice a strange red and violet wall that completely clashes with everything else present and cuts off one of the hallways you were heading down.

Completely out of a flight of fancy, Rory decided to toss his now-tattered peasant pants at the wall to see how it reacted, and would follow up with a splash of mead if nothing changed.

Re: February 21st:
Looking like at least half of what was said passed over his head, Javan turned to the people still in the room and started to talk.
"If you guys don't mind, I'd like to join the group going to 'Tusker Paradise'. That said, if you guys feel the same group is a tad too big, I wouldn't mind playing housekeeping either. Dunno if we really want a large group going there either. Or if it would even help, since we are talking about tuskers here."

Re: February 21st:

The obstruction does not react in any way, shape, or form to your attempts to interact with it.
The Quarry, for some reason, is empty as the group gathers there. Somewhat suspiciously so.
After some time has passed Milli of Greatgear is standing before the doorway, examining the edges of the hallway while the group gathers. "I can see why you would want this sealed," she mutters quietly. You get the impression that even from here she can tell what lies within. Regardless, the ritual is simple and takes virtually no time at all, and the Soul Lock is completed. Milli herself mutters something under her breath about getting back home while there's still a home to go back to and Oghren takes his leave as well, leaving the group standing in the now-empty Quarry.

"So I found a...wall," Rory piped up while sipping from the mead he recently opened, "of an off color, doesn't look like any other...'wall' I've seen in here. Is there any student of magic here who wants to try figuring out the details before I try to bust through it?"

Re: February 21st:
Zeiss ignores Rory's mention of this strange wall he found, having already planned to send a team to study this facility. In fact, as Mili of Greatgear was leaving, he follows her. He waits until they are alone and says :
"Ma'am? I need your help."
He looks at her, wondering if she would believe what he was about to say.
"Me and my companions have been in contact with a group that call themselves the Eleven. They seem to be some sort of artificial lifeforms. I may be wrong, but they do perceive us as meatbeings. Point being, they have a better understanding of what is happening in Dereth right now than any of us. And they told us about another group calling themselves the Pinnacle."
He pauses, searching for the best way to express what he meant to say.
"The Pinnacle is composed of creatures that wish to experiment upon organic beings like ourselves. In exchange of my freedom, they once asked me to bring them other people on which they could conduct these experiments. I refused. The only reason I am not in prison is because my companions came to my rescue..."
He unconsciously bites his lip, remembering these events.
"The Pinnacle's experiments is what caused the death of the green mages fifteen years ago. They... altered the earth Ley Line's structure. It was supposedly an accident. But I don't care if it was. I won't let them continue whatever they are doing. But I would like your help."

- To Archengeia:
- Use of Persuasion to make her believe what I just said and be inclined to help me. I will explain how she can help me after I get her response. Zeiss was not dishonest at all in his statement. Two uses of Persuasion left for the day.

The small, elderly Gnome looks up at Zeiss with a bit of a puzzled explanation. "And what type of help do you think an old woman, with a husband, kids, grand-kids... a family, could offer, young man?"

Re: February 21st:
"You can weave Ma'am."
He looks at the entrance of the ruins where the rest of the group is.
"My companions are leaving to investigate the backlash that just happened. They are going on a island full of Tuskers. They know the danger and yet, they feel like they need to go. I doubt I will see them again after today... Which leaves me, for the time being, as the last leader of the Exchange."
He returns his gaze upon the archweaver.
"One of my companions recently survived what appeared to be an assassination attempt. As soon as I return to Holtburg, I will become their prime target. With me gone, the Exchange would fall apart. Simple underground politics, I know. This is not something you should care about. But I doubt the ones to replace me would try to oppose the Pinnacle and their experiments."
He pauses to breath, then adds :
"You can weave magical tattoos directly into my skin to protect me. And a mask to help me detect them."
He gives her a sheet of paper.
"I cannot pay you right now. I hoped that you would accept to do this as a favor to me, Zeiss of Wintersong. If that is impossible..."
He looks at the ground for a moment.
"I would swear that one day, I would pay you back. There is no guarantee I can offer you. Only my word."

- On the sheet of paper:
- That's not what is directly written onto the sheet of paper. The sheet is covered of notes that more or less talks about what I just sent in this spoiler tag. All tattoos would be woven directly into Zeiss’s skin.
Repulsion tattoo
The first mode : it allows the user to push away magically anyone who is in a adjacent square 5 feet away and make them go prone.
The second mode : it allows the user to push away magically one enemy who is in an adjacent square and make them go prone. This is a more focused version of the first mode. So if the enemy is of a normal size, the distance he is pushed away is simply greater than at the first mode. If the enemy is so big that the first mode is useless against it, the second mode allows the enemy to be pushed away.
The tattoo will require charges to be used. I'm thinking about three charges. I also want the possibility to use more than one charge at a time.
So if I used the first mode of the Repulsion tattoo with all three charges, it would allow me to push away my enemies on a greater distance and/or enemies who are of a bigger size. And depending on a roll, make them go prone.
Because it is activated mentally, I would like to have it considered a free action or even a partial action.
Blindness tattoo
This tattoo would be placed in the palm of Zeiss’s hand. It would allow him to emit white light that can blind every non-ally that sees it in a radius of fifty meters. The effect would last for 1 minute. It requires charges to be used. Three charges available. It is activated mentally, but Zeiss’s hand must not be covered by a glove or obstructed by anything else. Depending on the situation, I would see it as a free or partial action.
Float tattoo
It allows the user to cast Float on himself or another person. It requires charges to be used. Three charges available. Because it is also activated mentally, I would like to see this as a free action or a partial action.
Haste tattoo
It allows the user to cast Haste on himself or another person. It requires charges to be used. Three charges available. Because it is also activated mentally, I would like to see this as a free action or a partial action.
Mask of understanding
A plain dark mask that covers the whole face, with no space for the eyes, nose or mouth. But when someone wears it, it allows the person to see, breathe and speak normally. It also gives:
• Low-light vision.
• Fairy vision of the elemental energies.
• +5 in diplomacy.
- To Archengeia:
- Zeiss was still completely honest. Another use of Persuasion. One use of Persuasion left for the day. The assassination attempt he was talking about was the one Kolson almost fell to. Sareth told Zeiss about it.

The elderly gnome considers for a long moment. "The Exchange is a fine idea, son, but you've already lost territory, yes, I know about Janwall, and I'm not sure you can do anything against some big, monstrous organization known as this... Pinnacle." She is not speaking condescendingly, but almost like she's trying to comfort you. "I may do one of these for you, as a favor... much as I hate doing tattoos, as the subject screams in horrible pain the entire time... but that's it. Now," she adds, "You're welcome to come with me."

"Thank you Ma'am."
Zeiss bows his head. Then as he is walking with the archweaver, he looks back at the entrance of the ruins where his companions are. After a dew seconds of silence, he says :
"Let's go. The wagon is in this direction."
