>Jericho, a touch of ice magic on the basket, if you'd please. Ilbir, I trust you'll get such serious glitches worked out right quick.
Of course. I’m not going to make the bigger prototypes out of something as flammable as this. It does generate a lot of heat, after all.
>How soon do you think you can get a one or two rider prototype ready for test runs?
A month or two… a few weeks if we’re lucky.
>Can you see the prince outside through the window? if so who's he doing?
…I hope you mean what and not who... as for WHAT he’s doing he’s... err… climbing a pillar with his bare hands while wearing weights? …Hey, the soldiers around him are sabotaging him in secret! Those jerks!
>Okay, we'll have to get creative with your scheduling and do some delegation.
Right… royalty… I can do stuff like that now…
>Tera's gonna be busy? With what?
Well, Artemis did say she was watching over Kranhon… dunno how long she’ll have to do that.
>You forgot "investigating the royal crypts," Jer.
…investigate the what now? Err… I’ll put it on my to-do list.
>Write up and seal an official note for Thaark declaring that he's your agent and have it delivered to him.
Done… I think… on another note, I really need to work on my handwriting… and spelling…
>Next write a note to the sultan asking her what would make Eliraz feel better after today and if she could write that up and have it sent to you. Also add that we have some things we need to tell her and ask if she could schedule Thaark in for a short audience so we can.
Done and done…
>we'll get Thaark up to the palace with Thuul to check in on their buddy Theen. Then Thaark can have a talk with Tera, followed by a visit to Durach's son so we can have a chat with him, and finally meet with the sultan.
Sounds like a plan… wow, you guys are great at structuring a schedule! I’m almost done already!
>Jer, you head to the Academy and check out Varius' office before starting training.
(Let’s go! …and I just realized I have no idea where the academy is…)
Hey, Jerry, my man! Ha, just like the letter said!
Huh? Letter?
Yea, I got this package in the mail this morning. It had this really weird letter telling me to meet a purple clad mummy right here on the square and give it to him… oh, and that I should keep the dried apricots for myself that came with it. Oh, hey, I was supposed to train you today, right?
Err… yes?
Right, let’s get started right away. Make a small flame… and encase it in some un-melting ice.
Um… should I really cast both magic in the open like this and… start right away?
Don’t worry, you’re with us now. Just do the magic… and keep it floating around you… lower your arm… just imagine that you have your arm outstretched and… just keep it floating.
…and now?
Keep it floating for as long as you can. In an hour or two you’ll start getting a headache.
Right… so keep it going until I get an headache.
…and then take half an hour break and start over. Keep doing this until dinner and you’ll be done with you training for today. Now… I believe they are selling some really good chocolate dipped bugs somewhere around here…
…keep it floating… imagine you’re guiding it with your hand and… wait, what was I doing? Oh, right! The package!
Hmmm? Wops, completely slipped my mind, Jerry… here.
…thank you… hmm, there’s a not note here: “Dear Erthil Trustgiver, do exactly what this letter says or you’ll get cursed for stealing this package and wallet from that dwarf.” …and then there’s a bunch of instruction about sending this to the Magus and the wallet back to Ilbir… “PS: Keep the coin that’s left over… go two streets to the right and find the human selling a jewel shaped like a insect, your girlfriend would like that.”
Yea, yea, that was probably directed to whoever had the package before us. Now open it up, man.
…another letter and… dried apricots?
Oh! Those are mine!
“Dear Jericho, three stones. One is close to your heart, the other in the hand of your ancestor Elitrin, last one is three doves east of the city. XOXO A friend”… “PS: Yes, I need to be cryptic! Other people is reading this too, you know… sheez, once upon a time we oracles was respected for our cryptic messages but now? Kids today…”
…right, that was weird. Anyway, keep that magic going and I’ll see you later… I got bugs covered in chocolate to find… hmm… maybe I should find some “bigger” bugs covered in chocolate tonight~
Insert Welp, that’s a club I want to visit…_
