Mari wipes her tears away as she listens to Velon." That means so much to hear that from you Velon. Thank you for understanding. I will gladly accept the conditions that she laid out. They are fair enough. I should have to earn trust back after this admission." She frowns and continues.

"I hope that she will forgive me one day. I know that I deeply hurt her since we were close. Time heals all wounds I suppose. It will probably be good to tell everyone that I was previously a member of the Zhentarim. I hope they won't reject me over this. The Zhentarim don't exactly have the best reputation in the realms."

"Ok Mari. Please come talk to me any time, as friends, of course, no interrogation. Do let me know if anyone gives you a particularly hard time after this, as well."

"Before you go, is there anything else I should know about the Zhentarim threat? Any specific ways they may try to harm us in the near future? You mentioned following up behind us for easy plunder. Have they hurt people in Greenest or anywhere else we've been? Is there any way we can leverage your knowledge of the Zhentarim to our advantage?"

Mari has a strained smile on her face." Thank you so much Velon. I will come to you if I have any problems. "

"The Zhentarim managed to get some of the treasure that we saved from the cult. They also acquired some half dragon eggs. I'm not sure what they will do with those. Just a rumor I heard."

"The biggest worry is infiltration. The Blaze is well known. It would be easy to infiltrate this group with an agent or two. This sky castle helps us in many aspects to stay ahead of them. They would love to have this castle. My suggestion is to not stay openly in one place too long. They have wizards and assassins that they could send after us. If they do attack be sure that it will be with overwhelming force and advantage. They don't believe in fighting fair you might say. That's about all I have for now. If I think of more then I will share it with you. Thanks again for giving me another chance Velon."

The conversation with Mari and Lia likely happening back in the city before departing for Poljen's meeting with the giants, Velon heads back to the castle with the others. He heads straight for the control room and asks anyone there if he could have a moment alone. He casts detect magic and walks around the room for a moment to ensure there are no unknown magical items or effects on the room, such as those allowing others to listen in. He then activates the portal to Irdeith and Chasorth, curious to see who will be there to answer.

When Velon opens the portal, there is a kobold sitting at the desk and heavily engrossed in a book. He looks up, and says, "Greetings, how may Makik help you?"

“Greetings Malik! Do you know who I am? Are Irdeith or Chasorth available? I must speak with one of them if possible.”.

"Master Irdeith is away. Mistress Chasorth is busy, but said she could be interrupted if it was important and time sensitive. Can Makik take down a message?"

Daishain's D&D 5e Side Stories D&D / Pathfinder Archive - Page 28

Thank you Makik. Yes please take a message and do not interrupt Chasorth as we are likely safe from my concerns for the next day or so. Please tell them that I have spoken to Mari about the Zhentarim. I wish to confirm Mari's report, obtain their counsel on how to deal with this threat, and to know if they have any powerful allies that would be willing to defend our castle against these increasing threats.

Velon takes a moment to himself alone before leaving the control room. He asks about as to where Lia might be or what room she chose and goes to find her. He knocks on her door if necessary, or simply knocks and leans on the inside of the door frame if the door is open. He gives her a small smile, but one with sadness evident in it, and does not speak.

Out of Character: Daishain, Velon will be making a statement to the group about Mari & Silas's efforts against the Zhentarim so they can all remain vigilant. Rather than disrupt the timeline in the main thread, I see no reason why this little speech can't wait after Poljen returns from his visit to the giants. I will just hold off until there is an opportunity then.
