Posts from ? Ikazkan -> Tezot

The woman flinched slightly at the unexpected voice, but said nothing in response. Apparently, they won't be a hindrance.

- I sympathize. - The guy put his hand on Jingo's shoulder in a friendly manner. - Well, if it coincides with my "business," I wouldn't mind helping. I'm really not a super-fighter. Even on my best day, I probably wouldn't defeat Sorda, for example.

-- I am Safis, and this is Kekka, -- he collapses onto the bench, if there is still room. -- We are from the expedition to the surface; we came to meet the one who has so invigorated this dreary underground, to discuss higher matters, and perhaps to help in some way -- we saw the announcement.

- And this... I've never been to the abyss... What's it like? Is it like here, or is it dirt, mud, and so on?

Her blueberry eyebrows rise, and she steps back a couple of steps behind the "bodyguard".
- I think he's sick; I wouldn't...

- Old man, - the back of a calloused hand on her cheek interrupts that remark. - Half of him.
However, the appearance of the beaten man was not familiar to him.
- Everyone has bad days.

- It's different there; I recommend getting some gear for descending, otherwise it can be dangerous.

Water, warm water... If there is an underground kingdom for the Sords, it must be here!

– Not yet, – replied his Sord brother, Rurek. – I live as a recluse and hone my skills in the forge. Perhaps I will find a partner soon.

Rurek didn't know how the Elms reproduced. Perhaps they were also recluses and only remembered about reproduction after they got tired of complex magical activities.

- I see. So, we have an agreement. Tell me what you can do, and go ahead. I'll go check with our people; I need to find out a few things first. Where can I find you if needed?
- And also... where can I get "descent equipment"?

-- Impossible, for it has already begun, and it is irreversible. Unless an unseen hand of a higher being erases us, Ikazkan, and the surface, and everyone who might have memories of this, from existence. Everything that has happened has already been imprinted in countless lives and countless worlds, and the rates, degrees, and other comparative measures are only needed by creatures of dead matter and numbers that do not act or feel, but only count! Fortunately, we don't have any of those here.

- Yes, we have it, it just takes up space in the bag (a different slot).

Jingo receives:
Climbing and descending gear
+10 to Body characteristic for Abyss checks.

-Even though I feel sick just thinking about it, my eyes demand new victims.

- Right after entering sector A, you'll find it. Ask Swark about supplies!
