[color=bedded]"Sounds like a plan."[/color] Thomas' reply as he caught the cat running back. Still a slight aversion to the kitty, but old habits die hard. Sort of like necromancers who turned themselves into liches. But Satilla was right they had everything they had required more or less, these bugs should be more then adequate for providing light. All that was left to do was to wait and see if the others finished up their shopping sprees too. And maybe tomorrow he'd find a bit more in the rather barren apothecary's store. Or maybe if they were lucky, they'd find an knickknack or two in the old tower to try and sell for some decent coin or alternatively store credit? But there was a nagging thought in Thomas' mind that the old timer might be keeping too many secrets from prying eyes.

The walk back to the tavern was rather uneventful. No one had stopped to accost them or their beetles. Maybe a pin would puncture them nicely, assuming the illuminating glands were avoided. Or Keystone could cut their heads off with a knife maybe? Thomas could too but he was rapidly becoming attached to the little guys. Or girls, Thomas had no training in sexing beetles. Hopefully the tavern owner Femnal would be fine with having a few ingredients short of gunpowder under his roof and incendiary insects as Thomas walked into the tavern looking for the others. He had his hands full, but spotted Sana and Kyra sitting yonder by a table, having all the silverwork done it seemed, as the day was wearing thin. They still had to prepare a thing or two, but as the daylight slips, they'd best head into that tower before nightfall. With the excitement of a schoolboy presenting show and tell, the sorcerer aptly set the glass vessel down on the table for the women to see. [color=bedded]"We've got some Firebeetles. We should able to use their light-emitting glands for a good light source, and uh, if we extract them carefully enough, I might be able to grind their shells down for that potion for later use."[/color]

[color=bedded]"How did the silvering go?"[/color]
