*at Snargs words Kezrin looks longingly at the beautiful girl in her arms and her parents once more and bows her head she knows there is not time. She turns to the parents, handing their daughter to her mother..*
"She is truly precious. I am sorry for my doubts on your persons."
*There are tears in her eyes as she walks away.*

The two Trolls, obviously overwhelmingly relieved at the party's benign reaction, hug each other and nod at the Olthoi as Kezrinthka expertly picks up the baby Troll and holds her in her claws. The baby coos and gives a tiny smile.
The Gnome is rubbing some sweat off his brow. "Been having good responses, good tests, don't think I can cure her but my she is a healthy one!" He grins, beaming, and his mood is surprisingly light and jovial for the situation. "Almost whapped me with my own lensbar earlier! Got a good laugh out of her though." He looks up and down at the party, again seeming to notice them for the first time. "Quite a crew... I do hope you're all here to help? Their kind can use all the help they can get, you know."

Hanuel, who is absentmindedly scratching Dara, says, "Desolation is... a strange affliction. We don't know what causes it or what makes it happen, but some people are just born........" they struggle for words. "Born without Elemental essence. Like we all are, all of us all people, plants, trees, animals, every blade of grass and spec of dust out there in the world has Elemental energy within it and flowing through it, except them." Hanuel shivers. "Most... most people can't stand them, just being near them. Even if they harbor no hatred in their hearts it comes out anyways, Desolates are just so contrary to the rest of us and we to them, we can't help it. So..." a few tears are starting to roll down their face. "So the most 'humane' thing the world has come up with is to banish them, immediately, for their own safety. Make them congregate amongst their own kind, deep in the Dires. No one even knows where Segregate is, that's--that's what they call their home." Hanuel takes a deep breath, trying to compose themselves. "It's a horrible fate. Hundreds die, because it's so easy to detect Desolation at such an early age that children and..."
"And babies," Forith suddenly interrupts. "Even babies are sent out into the wastes, the wilds, forests and hills, to die. Because no one else can tolerate them." There is a hard, determined edge in his tone as he turns towards the group. "This is the task I mentioned to you, the thing I have had on my mind ever since my baby girl was born. I admit it, I am no better than any other thrower of stones or hate, but I can change that." A pause. "I will change that. I will help our people accept and take Desolates amongst them as they were meant to be... one of us. One of our own people, and not the monsters that are hated and feared."

Lieutenant Torntoe has his arms folded, shaking his head. "Nothing. All I see is a young couple and their adorable baby girl. What they do past that is up to them."

Rory's eyes widened in surprise. "You mean, children--how? My gods, I could try to understand, but how could anybody be so moved to abandon even a young child to a harsh environment--let alone kill them on the spot!?" His mouth quivered in disgust at the very notion. Merely dwelling on it caused him to furrow his brow, his lips to curl in a partial snarl. He shakes his head and began to pace, not yet having the mind to even ask how they, the party included, intends to approach this.

Re: Fifth Adventure 02: The Long Day
Kolson is dumbstruck at the implications of their discovery. He walks closer and removes his hat, just standing there looking on. After some time, he walks over to the Trolls and says, "Sir. Madame. I have wronged you. I am so sorry for everything I said."
He tears up a bit as he tries to explain. "We've seen so many secrets this past month, so many people hurt or killed by them. I didn't," he trails off, words failing him in his misery.

*Kezrin tenses at his words. And turns back.*
"yes it is a horrifying and disgusting practice. I don't understand it myself."
*she shakes her head and turns Haunel away from the girl, understanding his upset but not, and leads him away.*

Forith is still holding his beloved. "I have put away some money from my own pouch, a considerable amount. Tarsella will take Eliarshia away towards Colier, they're more tolerant up there... of everything, really. They'll live there, unconnected to me. As for me..." that look of determination returns. "I'm going to talk to father, talk to everyone I know, I'm not that unconnected. I'm going to try to get things moving, get policies enacted, people who can be trusted. I'm going to send an envoy to the Olthoi, I know they can't be affected by the malice, maybe get something organized across ..." he trails off. "It's going to take a while, but I'm doing to do everything I can to turn this despicable practice around."
At Zeiss' question he frowns. "A spy? I..." fear enters him, but leaves a moment later. "No, no one could possibly suspect our daughter. But what other reason to follow you, here?" He considers. "Scouts from Stonehold? Rival dissidents? Our own military? I have only guesses I'm afraid."

Wizzle shakes his head no, but his enthusiasm remains undiminished. "Not as of yet, but I will learn everything I can about this malady. I'm not, you see, really in the search for a cure so much these days as a way to remove the magical contradiction between they and we, to help them adapt within modern society as well. I have also been learning about the affliction itself more and more, trying to discern why it happens, what it's effects are, that sort of thing. For example, did you know there's actually Advanced Desolation?" He bobs his glasses a bit, adjusting them. "I feel for folks like that. They have it much rougher."

Zeiss groans loudly.
"Perfect. Just frelling perfect. They are still on us."
He goes in one corner of the room, pondering.

Re: Fifth Adventure 02: The Long Day
Rory begins the talk among the party about what to do. "So what do we do, then? Gods, we can't. I won't."
He then turned to the curious Gnome, and asked, "Are you...trying to cure the condition? To give it this elemental essence you speak of?"

Torntoe nods slowly. "I like that idea. Quite a lot." Without a word he reaches into his robes and pulls out what looks like a fairly hefty coin purse and hands it to Tarsella, and gives a low bow. "I am deeply sorry, madam, that one of your soldiers, who is sworn to protect and defend you, has failed in this task. Please take this with my grief, and regret."

With several of the group talking to Wizzle, and others offering condolences to the couple, Z walks over to the crib and stands there but a moment before returning to their vigil. In a steady, normal tone they declare, "If we are still being watched, we cannot help this child. We... I will not endanger their lives with whatever danger follows us."

Snarg follows Toretoe and follows up with his own pouch. He wordlessly drops it along side Toretoe's and leaves to lean outside the door again.
