"Then so it will be, but perhaps it would be best if the town knew what happened, rather than allow rumors of why you disappeared to spread? I'm sure blame would be misplaced. I would also enjoy you meeting Lady Enlu, and I believe Kexluk is heading to at least her estate as well."
>"Your point is fair, in the long term. I will meet Lady Enlu and the other lords, including the head priests and palace warchief, and hear what they have to say. Then I will decide who will be in charge of the town, and make it public so there is no denying my words. I will not be spending all night, as my activity will alert the chaos god that the deal is no longer in effect, and I do not want to be here when he gets to work."
"I think that is acceptable, but I hope to finish what I have left to do in town! Will you remain a kobold?"
>"I may alternate as is appropriate, but it is simplest if I assume the form that lizards recognize me in while I speak as the goddess of order. I will not waste time, now, though I will not overtly use magic needlessly, so I will be walking to most of my destinations. You have time, but do not waste it, either. Do find Kexluk to make sure he makes it to Enlu's estate. I intend to meet him."
"I will, and I would like to say that although he did fall hard, he is aware of his weakness, and overcoming it is also part of the reason why he was sent. I am proud to have him has a friend! I also hope to evacuate some friends to save them from the ensuing chaos."
>"You need not worry. The chaos god despises bloodshed. It is, ironically, a peaceful takeover."
"Do you truly consider this town unbendable?"
>"Worse, it has bended in terrible ways on its own."
"And by chance, do you have any suitors?"
>"I do not, nor do I intend to. I will be off, if you are not going to non-sequitor questions."
"Then good luck!"
If I recall, there are a handful of things I can do, and I merely need to sort out the order!
-The chaos artifact exists, but I don't believe I had anything important to do with that, especially not since it may assist any incoming chaos followers in doing what they do.
-Tulip! I believe we still planned on taking her back with us. Last I heard, she was held inside of the church tower.
-Re-uniting with Kexluk is also important, but there may not be a great rush for this, since I imagine I should have no difficult finding a nine foot lizard.
-Enlu! I don't think that I, personally, had any more formal business with her, but her last words to me were asking me to return sometime, and mine to her that I intend to! Reilqin is already heading back to Enlu's estate, but it would be trivial for me to catch up with her.
-Sandfin. I did say I would make time for a proper visit, though I may not have time at all for it.
As for Vailla, Reilqin's tone seemed to make it sound like she would watch over her as an omnipotent god, not walk with her as a mortal.
I look at the starving kobold's face to recognize it so that I may at least tip a kobold to come back out and feed him, but I also grab a look at his emblem. It had 5 lines on it, but as he fell upon approaching us, his emblem got caught on a rock, and a crude 6th line was carved across it.
