Turn 62 - Plan BlueGronok, feeling quite ready to take this show on the road, walks up the steps of the Kezilamite temple. Fortunately, there's a lot of people around. He addresses them all as he takes a seat at the top of the steps - that climb took a bit of strength to do, actually. It may have been only seven steps, but it sure felt like more.
"People of Lazalam!" he addresses the people.
"There are many things in this world of ours that give us joy - love, food, devotion. But I find that one thing that always sets me in a good mood is a story. I'd like to pass that good mood onto you. What kind of stories would you wish me to tell?"One person stops, turning to him, soon followed by several others.
"Ooh, stories. I like stories. Tell us about... um...""Tell us about the stars! Those are wonderful!"* * * * *
Elizas, rather than explain his motivations and needs in words, adds a musical accompaniment in what is the third song of today - "I'm A Prophet And I Need A Job In This Cathouse".
[Vocal music roll: 6-->1+1]
He manages it rather nicely, getting the point across while also being incredibly bawdy and provocative about it! After all, you hire a bard for the voice, but you let him stay for the bawdiness. Maybe the profanities were a bit much, but Elizas nonetheless stands by his work.
"That's a very... interesting song. I suppose our patrons may like it, and more like it. Very well. You are hired. You will receive 15 tezerams a night, more than adequate pay for a bard. Is this agreeable?"Alright! Once again, the day is saved by the miracle of working blue.

Lars, after consulting with his guard-guide, decides to let him lead the people for now.
"Very well. We must stay together as unto the flock of sheep - stray, and the wolves will come for you.""Okay then, how about we go this way? Wait, wait. How about we... CHARGE!"The guard runs in a certain direction, and Lars and the mob follow him at a sprint. They come upon four surprised-looking guards!
They look a tad too confused by the guard's yelling to get to slaying the infidels and whatnot.

Phiali, finally about to conclude his business with the buckets and put this chapter of largely miserable failure behind him, heads up the hill, bucket in hand. He reaches a stone structure up above. Azha appears to be sitting within it, chewing lazily on a dried piece of meat while looking intently at a hatch of some sort.
"Excuse me, but why did you want me to bring you water?"She stares at Phiali for a moment expressionlessly, then resumes chewing. Once she's finished, she speaks with boredom.
"How is the well?"* * * * *
Shashari, judging the river to be safe, swims safely to the other side! Man, this is actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it. She climbs out on the other side, a bit wet from the water of the hell-river, but otherwise completely unharmed. Wasn't so bad, really.
"Should I call the fellow over or do you want to swim back first?"Gronok: 0 MP
