>>5416001>>5416006>>5416073"Well... No need to tell you not to treat living beings as toys or trophy. You've been treating that knight lad pretty well, and your sister is really nice with that exhausted lady. Take care on how you word things, though...
- I've done a bit of thinking... Let'sss say you can brrring the thrrree guarrrdians in my necklace. Of courrrrrse, I'll get the two stone ones back... The besssst courrrse of action will be me hidin' in the necklace, and get out for King's audience... I'm not surrrre it would be safe else.
- That... Make sense. Be warned, you might spend several day hidden, so make sure to pack a nice amout of meat. It'll be suspicious if Urist and I have to steal our weight in raw pork while we wait..."
Thus, you set wings to the dwarven capital, the eaverpeak, the Pinnacle of mountains, home of the King Under The Mountain, the city of mechanical marvels and lost-secrets of runes and steam, Kazaz-a-Karak.

"SIRE, THEY KEEP COMIN'! *BANG* I'D ADVISED A TACTICAL RETREAT, WE AREN'T ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH SEVERAL SHIPS FULL OF... MEN? SKELE-MEN? YOU GOT THE IDEA"
Tyler doesn't hear much with his helmet on, but his point stands.
"Actually, Hector... You need to cross the river, Mathias is in a similar dire situation half-a-day west. He won't make it without help.
