Shadow War campaign In-Game: Chapter 73- Crisis on Infinite Asheareas

[chrysalis]

"Jackson, it is so good to see you. You really have no idea. You are as I always knew you could be."

[Navarre]

Jackson smiles. He has grown by a few years and they look good on him. Before you is a handsome, confident young warrior.

"Thank you, miss. Your words are very kind."

"I am sorry if I should know you. The sense of familiarity in your eyes is clear."

"Did we used to be friends?"

Sir Knox ponders.

"Perhaps we should make a list of what we know and what we need to know. We must be clear on out goals as well as how to achieve them."

Aldina nods.

"Yes. What are we trying to accomplish?"

"Clearly we wish to end the war but what is our ultimate plan? Depending on what the answer is, I think we will have some idea of who might work with us and who will almost certainly work against us."

[Gaumer]

"The gods be the ones causin' all the trouble, eh? 'Em out o' the way or put on leashes be gettin' the job done.

We be aimed at findin' the Trust an' freein' elder gods 'fore findin' ye all. Is that still our aim, wit' the aims to see the parents put a switch to the unruly whelps?"

[Navarre]

Coby nods.

"That sounds good from our side. Though the twins, Ferraki and Fjod, supported us a Defenders they are gone now. They have been killed in the Coup and the battles after."

"We need peace and it won't come by any one Einshar havin' pull around here. The world wasn't perfect when the Primordial were on top but it's a sight better than this mess. They'd put a stop to it."

"So who can we trust to work with us? Or maybe a better question is, who do we have to be keepin' eyes peeled for?"

[Strifeter]

Tren speaks up.

"Madolmkin and Dark Tomorrow. If people are having dreams of a previous world then you lot will be a prime target for them."

[Gaumer]

"'Em?

An' we be 'avin' fer sure'n knowin's o' the both o' 'em seekin' sinisters in this world?"

[Navarre]

Moira replies.

"We did see Blackthere and those other Dark Tomorrow agents. And they seemed to be after Faerun, as before."

"Do we know if Dark Tomorrow still works for Maldomkin?"

Jackson nods, "Yeah. They do."

Moira frowns.

"But if Hyde and Dark Tomorrow serve Maldomkin and want Faerun, but we suspect someone working for Hyde in that other party, why did we let Faerun go off with them?"

"And they know the location of the Trust and the Primordial, the same as we do."

[Gaumer]

"Faerun makes choices o' 'is own, an' that's where he be set to go. 'E be knowin' who be keepin' 'im safe for months an' 'e refused to listen to reason.

If'n we be keepin' a gnome as a slave to be keepin' the world safe it not be worth the doin'.


If'n our own thoughts be leanin' to bringin' back the elders, yet the ones we deem as enemies be seemin' to be set on the same, where be the need for action from us?"

[chrysalis]

"I think we were so confused by our world shifting that we weren't thinking. We need to get back Faerun."

"Also, before we were at Bronwyn's doorstep changing everything, we were in Maldomkin's house. I do not think that's just a coincidence. Maybe getting Bronwyn out of the way was Maldomkin's plan. I bet he is stronger than ever now."

[Gaumer]

"The god not be forcin' us to be usin' 'is own doorway as we be doin' wit' magics I not be understandin'.

Puttin' this all on the one god be unfair an' dangerous to our findin' true enemies.

An' lik I be sayin', I not be Faerun's pa an' ye, Liv, not be 'is ma, an' ye should be stoppin' to act like it. Faerun be knowin' the trouble that finds 'im, an' 'e chose to leave us. Are ye so bold as to lock the gnome in chains an' keep 'im as a slave as to keep our enemies from makin' 'im 'is friend? Sure'n that's what this other group be doin'."

[Navarre]

Moira ponders.

"So are you suggesting we continue to West Wellington and get the Trust?"

[Gaumer]

"I be sayin' if'n we know our enemies be set on freein' the gods we should maybe rethink our aims to be doin' the same. That or take 'nother look at who we be callin' enemy.

But, aye, gettin' the trust so our enemies not be 'avin' it be a sound idea to these dwarf ears."

[Navarre]

Coby replies.

"I'm sure the other Einshar don't want the Primordial freed. Illumian, Damrogann, Sashca, even Maldomkin, has everything to lose if that happens. The only Einshar I know that want to set the Primordial free are Ximon and maybe Pandia."

"Did someone say Maldomkin wanted to free Celestryn and Aurora? I can't see that."

[Gaumer]

"No, but it be said that there be a traitor in that other group who may be set on freein' the elders, an' its been said the traitor may be workin' for Maldomkin.

Knowin' 'em two facts, sure'n we can be sayin' if'n the traitor be existin' in that group 'e be not set on freein' the elders or not workin' for Maldomkin. That be leadin' to this traitor be lookin' for the Trust to be stoppin' the freein' or workin' for some other than the bargain god.


I be seein' this as nothin' but talk for the sake o' talkin'. If'n this be the all o' our knowin' we can be fittin' it in a thimble. The only thing we be knowin' fer sure'n be the elders can be givin' 'elp to the world as it be now, the Trust be needed for the doin', an' we be knowin', an' set on findin' mind ye, where to be gettin' the Trust. Sure'n, 'em who be our enemies be the ones set on us not freein' the elders, so they be set on us not 'avin' the Trust.

By my seein' we'll know more o' who our enemies be after we be gettin' the Trust."

Bed looks at Vin

"Nothin' be bringin' out the vultures like some good, stinky bait, eh, mate?

AN' that's what we should be thinkin' on, not who our friends an' enemies be. I not be sold on the lot o' ye bein' mates, an' I been travelin' wit' Liv for months, hohoho.

We should be puttin' words to plannin' 'ow to be gettin' the Trust, gettin' it safe back to the elders, an' workin' to free 'em. E'erything else'll be figurin' itself out by me seein'."

Bed refills his ale and burps.

[Navarre]

Vinnrog nods.

"That is good question. When we get Trust, what we do with it? Me not know how to use magic rings to free gods in stones."
