Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

When Sylvia saw the greatsword, she wondered if that was the same greatsword that the larger trog used. If it was, they could have presented it to the Grey Scales as a piece of evidence after they take care of the trogs, but she didn't say anything. There was probably more items of interest that could help when it was time to talk to the Grey Scales.

Soon enough, they reached the back alleyway of the marketplace, and Sylvia answered her friends, "I think it's best we head back to the inn for now and rest. We're going to need all of the rest we can get for tomorrow. I could do with a bath myself," She then led the way back to the Silver Stag. As they walked on, she recalled her question to the doll earlier, and decided that she should say something about it to Pylia.

She made sure she was walking right next to Pylia as she whispered to her friend quietly, "Pylia, when we get back to the Silver Stag, there's something I want to talk to you about,"

Sylvia nodded in agreement with what Pylia said. She wasn't sure if Trogs could or not, but now that Pylia mentioned it, it was pretty strange considering how animalistic they acted. She answered the both of the contemplatively, "I just hope that the cult doesn't put a damper on their view on the other humans..." before leading them to the market. The fact that Pylia wasn't able to identify most of the food and booze here was kind of concerning, but thankfully, they were not shopping for food...yet. She had been considering just buying the shaft of the spear and using it as a staff, or just going to a different shop...

Until Bonesaw offered her something else. The bone tonfas...

Sylvia took a look at the tonfas carefully, and if she was able, she would test the weight in her hands, and see how she could use them. After doing so, she decided that these might be a better option than the staff, and she told Bonesaw, "Bonesaw. I think you have a deal!" She then fished out twenty gold pieces, and handed them to the kobold. Now she carried only thirty gold while the rest of her gold was back in her room.

As soon as Longstrider motions them over, Sylvia moves forward to join in on the conversation. She listened to what the scouts had to say. If the troglodytes base was fortified against a human invasion, then she and her friends be able to make it past those walls...?

She looked to Longstrider as she turned to face her and Shortfang, and she nodded at her thanks and her plan of striking tomorrow. After Longstrider gave her the key, and told her that she could business with the kobold merchants down here, she answered her, “Thank you, Longstrider. I’ll be sure to visit the merchants here before we leave to rest. We’ll be back tomorrow morning for the attack,”

If there was nothing else Longstrider wanted to say, then Sylvia would head out of the Grey Scale hut, and back to Buddy and Pylia. Once they met up with the two of them Sylvia would tell Pylia and Buddy what the kobold scots saw, and what Longstrider gave them.

“I think I’ll need to stop by the kobold merchants and see if they have any staves that I can buy, and we should probably inform Aisha and Yorik that we’ll be heading back to the Silver Stag to rest,”

Sylvia was relieved to hear that everyone was okay, and that the troglodytes suffered more losses than the kobolds. She had to admit that she was surprised to see the amount of work that was done while the four of them were gone. The place was much more fortified and there were a lot of new warriors that were just trained for battle. She followed the one kobold that led them to the Grey Scale Hall.

At the mention that only Sylvia and Shortfang could enter because of the lack of space, she raised an eyebrow. She thought it was a little weird. Was there someone else in there other than the Grey Scales? Possibly the scouts.

She nodded, and she told Pylia and Buddy, "We'll be back out soon," She then entered the hall with Shortfang.

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia took in the sight of the battlefield and how Green Eyes turned the tide. It wasn’t long before Yorik ran off after the fleeing troglodytes and Aisha approached them. Before Aisha spoke, she had asked Aisha if everyone was alright.

After she spoke, Sylvia answered her, “Thank you, Aisha. I’m just glad we were able to come back with Green Eyes and help out when we did. We’ll be sure to talk to the kobold scouts,”

She led the way back into the village. She was curious to hear what the scouts had to say.

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia kinda felt like she was mimicking Captain Jack Sparrow at this point as she ran away from the troglodytes and Pylia had cursed at her. She answered Pylia as she kept running, "Trust me on this one!" Thankfully the timing turned out to be perfect. She couldn't wave back to Shortfang at the time, considering she was running from the trogs. Thankfully, Shortfang managed to shoot a trog down and Green Eyes devoured it. She stopped as the trogs did, and watched as her strategy came to fruition. She kept herself from laughing as the trogs seemed to reconsider their decision and started running back the way they came. Of course, just as she thought, that action only caused Green Eyes to follow after them, as predator would follow prey. With that, they not only helped protect the kobolds again, but they also got Green Eyes back to the kobold village, alive.

She smiled widely and laughed, despite the fact that she was still catching her breath, and she answered her friends, "It sure did! Great work, you guys!" She then led the way back to the village to help the kobolds if the troglodytes were still a problem despite Green Eyes' return.

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia took in the battle to see the trogs versus the kobolds. One of the crocodiles was down, but thankfully it was protected. She was so glad to see that Aisha and Yorik were helping fight against the trogs. As soon as the three trogs noticed her and screamed at her, she knew. This was it. This was her chance to put her idea into action.

...And why not get as much live bait as possible? It's time to ring the dinner bell!

After a quick tilt of her head and a crack of her neck, she let out a shrill whistle and called out to the trogs, "HEY! CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, YA BUNCH OF UGLY TOADS!" After she got their attention, she started running, leading them back to Green Eyes as live bait.

She mentally joked to herself, It's Live Bait-Ception!

She ran, keeping herself in their sights, but out of their reach. When she was in Pylia's view, she'd call to her, "Start running Pylia!"

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia got to work, helping gather some trog meat to lure Green Eyes back to the kobolds. Things seemed to go smoothly until they ran out of the bait. She answered Pylia after she asked, “Maybe we can use some of the meat I use for cooking? But it does have spices on it to keep animals and bugs away, so that might not work...”

She then noticed the commotion towards their destination. Oh no...were the trogs attacking again? But it did give her an idea, “If that’s the trogs...maybe we can use one as live bait. I’ll go on ahead and check out the commotion. If not, then I’ll see if I can bring back one of the Sewer Dragons,”

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia nodded and thanked Pylia for mending her clothes, before she answered her friends, "Let's give it a shot. Something is better than nothing. Let's try to rejoin each other as quickly as possible after we all leave this room," She quickly took her hunting knife and gathered some more trog meat, enough to hopefully lead and lure Green Eyes to the Sewer Dragons. She hopes that her plan doesn't put Shortfang and Buddy in danger...

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia shook her head and she commented, "I'm not sure if any of us riding on Green Eyes is a good idea right now," She took a few good moments to think about what to do. She asked her friends, "What if...two of us followed Green Eyes, and the other two headed back the way we came. The two who follow Green Eyes can leave a breadcrumb trail and we can communicate with each other with Syfr and Shortfang's telepathy trick, and with that we can meet up again and hopefully have a better chance of getting Green Eyes to go back to the Sewer Dragons..."

She then wondered, "Or...do you think Green Eyes would go back to the Sewer Dragons on his own...?"

She had no idea and she was trying to figure this out just as much as her friends were.
