Dalia felt sick. Sick from the realization that she couldn't help her friend right now. They would have to fight an entire castle, and the outcome of such a battle was quite predictable. The only way to save Tailina, the girl thought, was to escape, hoping to enlist the help of the other members of the squad. With the help of her Eye, Dalia could track where her friend would be taken and, if all went well, save her from an unenviable fate. Gathering her courage, the half-elf headed for the exit, trying to push away thoughts of how Tailina must be feeling right now. She was so tempted to promise her at the last moment, "We will save you," but then she definitely wouldn't be allowed to leave alive. All that remained was to hope that Tailina, being a resourceful girl, would figure out what to do on her own.
At the first opportunity, she put on more familiar armor and headed to the squad's meeting place, regularly checking her friend's location using her Eye. And finally, when she met Sarnissa, she informed the squad leader about what had happened.

-Yes, the situation is indeed very serious, - Sarnissa shook her head after listening to Dalia. -Losing a decent financier in this ridiculous city would be bad enough, but I have no intention of leaving our best diplomat here. Gather the people; it's time to take a break from our daily routine. Keep an eye on Tailina's location; these knights won't keep her in a foreign castle forever. We'll seize the first opportunity that presents itself. And then we'll leave this damned city.

I was actually thinking of talking to Dorin, but never mind, since things are happening here.
Tingor arrives at the squad's meeting point and learns about what's going on.

Take him with you; any help will be useful.

Help in the form of a bolt in the back, yeah.

We'll strap a belt of your explosives around us and throw ourselves into the attack.

Take it with you. Since we're already breaking the law, we might as well cut it down too.

Are you serious?

Yes, we are joking, Fragment.

-Yes, the situation is indeed very serious,” Sarnissa said, shaking her head after listening to Dalia. “Losing a decent financier in this ridiculous city would have been half the trouble, but I have no intention of leaving our best diplomat here. Gather the people; it’s time to take a break from our daily routine. Keep an eye on Tailina’s location; these knights won’t keep her in a foreign castle forever. We’ll use the first opportunity that presents itself. And then we’ll leave this damned city.

Take me with you; with my eye, you know what I mean.

Well, you can assume that you were still here when Dalia approached. Or that you were watching through a window; it doesn't really matter.

I was already imagining Tingor walking into the tavern and saying: "Hey, Dorin, Dalia invited you on a suicide mission, want to join? And while you're gone, we'll take care of you."

I think he would sigh heavily in response, shake his head, and cover his face with his hand.

Then he got up from the table and walked to the meeting place.

I like this dwarf. He's been following you for so long, but he doesn't even try to kill you; he just chats nicely with your friends... I think it's at least friendship, like Tom and Jerry. Or maybe even a budding romance...
