"Good work everyone, and welcome back Cratol." Tazskan says.
"Let's all go back to the castle now, then try and work out where the next mask is, first," Tazskan adds.
"As for another scrying attempt, It will make us very vulnerable, and we had be really prepared and safe, before doing it again," he adds.
Lia grins and pats Perry on his shoulder." Well done Perry. You saved the day for us. I liked the Craturtle bit. Cratol might not have liked it though." She listens to the others and nods." By all means we should leave quickly. We have done all that we can do here pretty much. Recuperate and determine where to look for the mask.
Castle Skyreach is called in for a pickup, and soon enough the extremely weary group shuffles on board before it lifts off again.
You now have a location for the white mask. But identifying where to go and how to obtain it remains an issue.
And then there are the prisoners. They likely have useful information to spill, but obtaining it may prove challenging.
Out of Character: can I get a description of how the two prisoners are secured?
"Keep the prisoners gagged so they have trouble casting spells. Do we have any shackles around to keep them bound? What room do you all think it is best to keep them in? Any thoughts on how to block their magic are most welcome."
"I need to go rest for a good while. If you two recover your magics, could you Identify the remaining items including this mask here? I may not be strong enough to risk simply trying it on for several days." Velon looks to Poppo and Lawrance for this over the next day or two.
Grinning as Velon staggers into the castle proper, he says "Not a problem. Between what we've learned so far, and what we can find out from the prisoners, I think we'll be able to locate the next stage. However, I would think we should get these characters off of Castle Blaze before we actually locate the destination. I don't want any chance of them finding out where the mask is. As far as the items go, we'll figure out what we have quick enough. We should head back to the Dwarven city and refresh, as well."
Specific Action: Identify all the stuff we've acquired, add up the total values, level up, divvy the treasure, etc. Etc., etc. There is some shopping Lawrance needs to do for specific spells, if available.
