Not that it looked like she would be seeing much of the loot this time with their allies descending upon the fallen Forsworn’s like thirsty miners on a freshly discovered ice seam. Still, she got one thing out of the end of the encounter, and that was her carrion pistol back from the boss. He now sported a bizarre contraption that was probably a gun, though how it worked when the barrels had loop de loops in them she had no idea. [color=AC58FA][b]“Thanks even though I didn’t get a chance to use it.”[/b][/color] [color=FireBrick]”Your welcome. They sure weren't expecting us huh Boss.”[/color] She said jovially as she clicked the crude safety of the handgun back on and carefully slipped it back in her hip pouch. After a brief detour to loot a mostly intact headdress off one of their defeated enemies, which quickly disappeared off to her crew’s hat collection, she joined the others to talk to Ulfric. From him they learned the odds they were up against and where invited to join him in his fortification, but before they could take him up on his offer a cacophonous sound rocked the landscape and Piper got her second encounter with magic, second both for to day and for her whole life. Having spent all her life in space Piper’s first though was that the sound meant that they had crashed into something, and braced herself for impact accordingly, only to remember that they were in fact on a planet, not ship or asteroid. It took a few moments for everyone to figure out that they went about to die, after which she listened to the explanation of the country rocking PA System’s purpose and owners, as well as the follow up discussion about their interest in one of them. [color=FireBrick]”While I agree we should send someone, seeing as these Greybeards seem to have far reaching surveillance systems of some kind to have spotted us already, I think we should take into account that Ulfric thinks they have interest in [i]one[/i] of us. If we send the wrong person then they just become a glorified messenger if they are picky about who they talk to or have some person specific boon to give. Now if I were to hazard a guess the person they are interested in is you, Azura”[/color] She turned her focus from the group as a whole to the spear wielding songstress. [color=FireBrick]”Seeing as the rest of us mainly did some fancy shooting in that fight while you did something that I would call pretty special. I’ve certainly never seen anything like it. Plus, your singing and their shouting would seem to be in similar camp ability wise right? Imagine if you could use whatever sound system they just used to project your songs across this entire place, that alone could be a game changer for this mission.”[/color]
