OB: Say hello to my little friend.
We can do that. What reparations do you think we should give them? And how can we get a hold of you when we return?
((I'm unclear if this is a question to the man or to the other players, I'll go with the man.))
"They obviously need their hall rebuilt. And then there's the matter of the giants that were killed. They have families, children who will grow up fatherless..."
Isen has a wicked idea.
Fiona put us in that situation. She killed giants and all. So she must make do for her mistakes.
Fiona is a giantess. She could take these "children" under her wing. That would be fitting. Save that they probably have a mother already.
Too bad: given time, this might have proven quite good for the covenant. And for fiona. She'd be less lonely.
Still... Maybe there's some hope?
These child. Are some of them orphaned due to our sodales actions?
((Fatherless <> Orphaned))
(Yes, but maybe some of them only had one still living relative, so he's asking "just in case", even though he doubts it)
"I'm not certain if any were orphaned. It wasn't brought to our attention. What was mentioned is that several giants were killed, and some of them had children. Suppose they were, what are you proposing?"
Fatherless children should remain with their mother, obviously.
But orphaned ones?
Since my sodales is herself a giantess, I would have asked her if she'd have taken it upon herself to raise these childs, not unlike Odin took the child of Laufey as his own. But that's just me.
Without vis it would be pointless to rebuild their hall. If we have access to some vis, preferably herbam, and a lab I can work on a spell to build their wall.
"You know a spell to repair their hall, already?
No. I would have to make it. Since the time difference would make it moot if I left and developed it outside this realm, I propose to develop it here. That is why I asked for a lab.
((Actually, you want to develop it at Mons Electi. 1 year here=7 years of Mons Electi. Casting a formulaic spell here lasts 1 year, which, from Mons Electi's perspective is 7 years...))
((K. i had it backwards. Ignore my last part.))
I propose we return so the book with the history of the Schism War can be copied and I can work on a spell to rebuild their wall.
Tranquillina is good with that plan. But whither Marcus while that happens?
Isen, arms crossed
Agreed. Save than it's faster if we copy it in Mons Electi, of course. Marcus? Marcus can do as he pleases: As I see it, he's not so much a prisonner than a guest, and maybe an ambassador.
"I am ever the harbinger." Marcus says sardonically.
The Diedne representative says, "Very well, we shall have a bit of a truce, a year of our time, to make good the wrongs done. We can make some copies of texts we have and trade them then."
Then I will need you to introduce me to the Hill Giants so I can consult with them on the best way to repair their wall.
Fine by me, says Isen.
Mind you, he's not that comfortable with all this. Sure, the guernici enginered it all, but it doesn't mean the diedne were really, totally innocent. It is hard to sort through. What is real? What is manufactuted history? Aaargh, give him something to hit!
So, it seems everyone's ok?
We come back to ME while marcus stays here, copy the books, and come again to the magic realm to give them the copies?
I'm just thinking we'll need some kind of * to travel without problem with your allies. Could you provide one?
- my english fails me. I mean a token that shows that we can travel unmolested and are here with agreement of the diedne.
