So he can play the role of snitch? No way. Gag him, put him in a large pot or barrel, take him with you and escape.

I support the idea call dragon Gleep, don't tame dragon, just bargain, barter, steal, beg, get at any way.
Lead Ivety to our room, taking beer, as if for entertainment, and when in room discuss escape plan
Invite Ivety for keg of beer
Ask Ivety us to take us from the fort in rook



- Others maybe do, but we're stuck with Tok here. I am ... about the forest. It seems, when you and I met last time I got out of control again.
- Nothing, at that time everybody got his bruises, and I got a hot hand. I'm not offended.
- Good. Then would you heft a mug with me? Snack, chat.
- We can go eat. - Elf was glad with invitation.
You walked down the hallways to the nearest dining hall.
- Tell me, Ivety, is there at least some way for me to get the dragon?
- Honestly, no way. Ang Zelerkadan already has his eye on it, he's now King, right?
- Kind of. Oh, pity ... And if you're not going to sell him a dragon and decide to take back with yourself?
- It will be strange, after we caught it specially for the order of Ang.
- And if you hide it, can he forget about it?
- Dragon is for military purposes. This can not be called a passing fad.
- What, is Arol-Iton at state of war with someone?
- You know better, you live here.
- Yes, just a couple of days. Six months I uselessly spent in prison.
Ivety livened up:
- Jail? Are you a criminal?
She immidiately got really amused.
- Yes, - you decided to fib - I have some disagreements with the local laws.
- And what did you do?
You just got to the dining room. It was full of dwarves.
- Let me tell you later, locals can have bad thoughts of this.
Taking meat with bread and beer, you're on pair with Ivety sat down and began to eat. The elf did not touch drinking and pinch off tiny bits of food, all the while staring at you. With such refined manners, she stood out among the others, but it seems your rudness attracted her.
- Well, what's going on in the world? - You mumbled, dropping crumbs - How's your caped foes?
- Oh, do not ask - she waved - their ambassador came to us and demanded obedience, respect for tradition, and threatened. But nothing, thus we trade with Mountain Homes to buy armor and weapons. And when the war will come - we will smite their butts with iron! Oh, look, I speak just like my father, haha.
- So nothing is over?
- Of course not. Their Grove is nearest to our, and their druid most intolerant of all others. So we can only defend, because if we will attack and other groves will know - we'll be utterly destroyed.
- It sucks.
- We're used to it. Live so for forty years.
You finished your food and drink:
- I've got a little room there. Wanna take a look?
The elf paused for a few seconds, then started to blush:
- Likot, I really can hardly stand staying so deep underground, it seems to me that the walls are about to crush me. I am very uncomfortable even in such hall, and I'm afraid that in your room I just will lose my mind. If only we could walk on surface ...

[AfellowDwarf]

Well, here is our way out. But let's not leave without Tok. Try to get a barrel of really strong elven liquer from the elves, get Tok drunk. He passes out. Load him in the barrel, get it back into the elven caravan. Then escape.

[CaptainLambcake]

ii agree with dwarf.  i also suggest buying small vermin pet, since we are lonely most of time

[CountAlex]

Oh, four posts at time to translate. Enjoy and point at typos or mistakes.

Wisper: They kidnapped me and Tok. Think they murdered the others. Help.

Before leading it all to sex(can do later though) we must find out what is what
Press for pity of Kisat. Tell Shorast with others are in trouble and really need us
Must add a lot of nonsense in speech so she'll think Likot's gone completely crazy



You again made back in the role:
- I've got to go ... think I am being watched. And you go back to not giving your fellows, right?
Ivety's eyes sparkled with interest.
- Alright.
- I will soon find you - you leaned forward and whispered, - Me and Tok were kidnapped and held in captive here. Rest are probably dead.
- Oh gods ... - She jumped up and hurried toward the market place.
You have gone the other way, contentedly grinning, and went down to the chambers of Councilor. She just went out from her room.
- Ubendeb, here you are ... I learned something, follow me.
You trudged behind:
- I need to talk with you too.
- You start.
- I met a friend elfess, she told him about my old comrades. Our old Mountain Home is lost and we were going to build a new future ... by a covenant of the Queen, beyond the river is the place where new Mountain Home will take roots ...
- Get to the point.
- They are all in trouble there. There were seven of us, the pioneers of a new fortress, and now there are only four. I have to help them! Me and Tok must go there to help them survive! So ordered Armok! Maybe you'll be able to ask about us? So we'll be let go.
- No one leaves Arol-Iton. That's the law. You signed a document of citizenship and chose Arol-Iton instead of death. Just always keep that in mind. Now listen to me - she motioned to break your further question. - The thing is that I am now also interested in your opportunity to pass through security, if your chatter about wand is not bullshit, of course ...
- I'm telling the truth.
- To be clear - I do not care about your companions. If I'll get you out of here, then you'll go with me to the pit. And as soon as I get the wand, you can get the fuck out in any direction. Deal?

Quietly, when no one sees, let the dragon out of the cage, that's how we get it
Release the dragon out of the cage while no one is looking, you need to figure out if the laws of a DF are working here



While Kisat was speaking you rolled in your head options of releasing the dragon from the cage but then recalled that there was padlock.

16th thread

Accept, what the heck
Listen the whole idea, at least
Do not fuss and do whatever she say, we'll find solution during travel.
Go there with Kisat




- What else to do? - You shrugged - Deal.
- You can stay here if you don't want to help, but then do not count on my favor.
- I already did you a great help, telling about the artifact and its location.
- I returned your precious AngrySpoon. We're even. Now I want to find this wand and you to save me a lot of time with the search. In response, I'll get you out of the Arol-Iton, and when I'll come back here with a wand - to make sure noone will search for you aftermath.
- Well, then it's a deal.
- That's fine.
-  So what did you learn?
Vellokum took you aside:
- Turns out the King has sent an expedition to that pit. The workers set up camp and started digging.
- But there is nothing left.
- Nothing in tower, maybe, but below it? Surely these ancient dug down the adamantine vein. and in their halls are even more buried treasures.
You scratched the nape:
- And what do we do?
- A sigh of relief, because now we even don't have to dig. Everything miners will find will be stored in dry areas for recording. We will simply find wand among the rubbish and take it. I convinced Ang that my presence at the excavation will speed up process, and you recorded as my bodyguard.
- I will have weapon? - you smiled wide - and you are not afraid to turn your back on me?
Kisat laughed and walked on her business:
- We leave tomorrow, - she turned, - finish your business here.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Catch up Kisat and ask if we can take a walk through the city above for now? Get use to sunlight, etc.
Go to elfess and explain that she does not need to take any action regarding our liberation
Talk Ivety about the gold in the well and ask her extract it with help of her friends
Well, warn Tok too




Hey, Kisat! - You called out, - I ought to get used to the surface, on a city walk or something ...
- You will not be let out without me. We will get used together. Over, I have to go - she shook her papers and went on.

You returned to the elven wagons, where Ivety, agitated, whispered with one companion, then another. Putting on rascal look, you took her aside:
- Listen, tomorrow I will be relocated to another place and there I will have a chance to escape. So do not fuss so far and stay quiet. I do not want them to suspect you in conspiring with me.
Elf got thrilled.
- Now tell me where you will go after that snake pit. Where can I find you?
- We're going back to where Shorast outlined a new settlement. Beyond the river. I can not wait for you there, if you like.
- Of course, EIv - the role of the bad guy make it easy to give out false promises and do not seek to fulfill them. - As soon as I leave the chase - I'll ind you there. We we will conversate in a more suitable environment.
- Well, - she smiled.
- And one more thing. In the city above, there is one well, where I hid a bag of gold. I trust you, Ivety, so when you done with trade, take a couple of helpers go down into the well and take my money, okay?
- Fine, Likot.
You stood a little longer.
- All right, got to run to not frame you.
- See you soon ... - she said after you.
- Yes.

After going down to the lower level, you knocked on the Tok`s door again. He opened but he was angry.
- What is it?
You dragged the soap, brewed specially for him:
- I would like to apologize for my behavior. You like it here, I understand. But to me the opposite. I want to get out and I will leave Arol-Iton tomorrow, I hope forever. And I would really like you to come with me because we're friends. But if you still want to stay, then so be it.
Tok took soap, examined and got a little kinder:
- Okay, I've seen that you erased the mosquito. Therefore, I forgive you. We're friends again. But tomorrow you will go alone. I really like it here. I met an interesting dwarfess. I think we have something can happen. I stay.
- I understand. Well then ... Good luck with it.
- Farewell, - he finally smiled.
You shook your wrists at goodbye.

[AfellowDwarf]

Well, dangit Tok, there goes the  option of of flooding this place later.

[CaptainLambcake]

atleast we will not worry for tok's safety.  maybe kill the dwarf and take wand for yourself?  she may betray us and send search party.  also, please buy pet!  we need to not be lonely again.  maybe elves have?

[AfellowDwarf]

We should buy a tame female snake, preferably poisonous. Lays eggs for us to eat, poisons those who would attempt to kill us and functions as a makeshift scarf, or a rope if neccecairy.

[CountAlex]

Important-please reread dialogue between Likot and Ivety in last part of previous post, I missed few sentences during translation and I am sorry about that.

I think we should learn from someone about far lands
I double questions about distant lands.



You chatted with Nural and Bomrek, both knew not very much and advised to contact local cartographer. He was very talkative and, demonstrating different maps, provided them with a lot of comments and incidents from others travels. It turned out that in the north-east of the Arol-Iton there is a lake, which has the island on which there is a lakein which there is an island. And all this is encased by the permafrost. Nothing is known about inhabbitants of thaк place. South of the lake there is a grove, home for snow elves. And it seems like they are in charge over all others. In the south-west there are human shipyard and port. Cartographer did not know what further lands are.

Maybe stroll to stocks and look for some armor?
Support, get light armor and a sword, take the flask (or waterskin) and some rations.
Go gather our stuff and rest before the journey



Actually arms storages were locked, and your speech that you are bodyguard of the Councilor now didn't get any reaction.. Takeout food wasn't given to you as well. Then you just went to sleep.
Had a strange dream - you were flying over Arol-Iton and peed on its corridors and halls. It's clear that they were underground but in the dream you somehow worked out. Flights in dream were frightening and you woke up with a bad thought.

The next morning Kisat come to you already fully prepared and brought equipment. It was a sturdy backpack with food and wine in wineskins. There were also two torches, threads and needle, some fabric and a small knife.
- It's time - she pulled on you iron cap - Bodyguardy.
- And weapon?
- I thought you'd want to take Angryspoon..
- Well, actually, yes.

Together you went up to the surface and left through the new main entrance to the Mountain House Arol-Iton. That already were real gates, not simple hat with the hatch. Guards stood at the post. Checking documents Vellokum, they stepped aside, letting counselor with a bodyguard in the city.
Kisat immediately handed you a dry stalk of a plant and began to slabber same one:
- Took from a doctor. A bit of help from nausea.

Outside it was very bright, and the morning was only beginning.

Squeeze boobs/butt!



You touched buttock of Councilor. Kisat did not attach much importance, throwing only:
- Well, just not in the street, Likot.

[AfellowDwarf]

Kisat doesn't want us to touch her, so let's fondle angryspoon.

[CaptainLambcake]

she is fine with it, just not in street.  guard her for now, but be careful, she is tricky

[CountAlex]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Offer to find travel companions, caravan or any traveler. Or hire a couple of blockheads in the nearest pub. Then move.
Ask Kisat about plans-how you'll be moving there (can't just walk all the way). Inquire more about the excavations, who, what, why.
Relax, move to the excavations, enjoy the company of a cynical but friendly girl, but keep your eyes wide open



Your offer to find companions was refused by Kisat. And to your reasonable question about the way of movement she just smiled and continued to step.
Briskly you went out of town. It was quite warm, the birds were chirping. You didn't feel to throw up yet.
- Why does Ang need these excavations? Only for adamantine? - You brought the conversation.
- Is that not enough?
- I have heard that this can be dangerous. Adamantine vein goes deep into the earth and there are Eerie Pits by revealing which the whole world can be destroyed!
- I don't know about that. It sounds like religious nonsense. Told like a huge temptation that lures, but if you take it - it annihilates you. No, I don't believe it.
- So the deal is simply the riches of the tower?
- Well, yes, what else?
- And Ang didn't talk about demons or the unlimited power?
- He isn't totally nut, unlike you, I see. Zelerkadan is a practical man and not interested in fairy tales.
- But Kurel interested. That ghost, by the way. He whispers to the king all these stories more often than you meet with him.
- Ang did not say anything about it to me, and conjectures are still conjectures. Anyway, if the wand will work, then you won't need to worry about this no longer.

Suddenly your dwarf sense ran riot. Group of four elfs in capes with wooden swords blocked your road:
- Please wait a minute, travelers. Did you meet the elven caravan day or two ago?

[AfellowDwarf]

Tell them one of them told you they were going to the human port.

[CountAlex]

Tell them one of them told you they were going to the human port.

There is mountain chain so they will go through city anyway so they'll find out we lied and caravan is still there... unless one dwarf will tell them about short way through cave passage that is completely safe.
