Offer from a 'Fyevarra'

Mortui

@arcanigans said in Company of the Breach:

Company,

Hi there.

Since you all have some familiarity with a mutual acquaintance of a particularly pale disposition, and he apparently had a hand in you all showing up here, maybe we could have a chat?

There’s an Abyssal incursion locally we’ve been trying to patch up and send the blighters packing. You’re likely more experienced with this kind of stuff than we are, and we’re a bit more familiar with the local area.

Not that I’m into favor trading and transactional acquaintances, we’re more than happy to help you get back to your preferred plane, but we could also use your help making this one a little safer if you’d be willing to offer it.

-Fyevarra

I'm not going if it's got anything to do with Carceri, that place is a prison.
Otherwise, we should get the dark on this and see if this person is actually capable of being any help or if they're just another clueless that has no idea what they're talking about.

Biter.

Fye is a blood, even if she sounds clueless. Her and her Berks blitzed into Cania to pen some whistler high-up and only half got scribbled.

Let this bod spend the bells shedding the dark from her. We got a connection.
Got my word, Biter. No Carceri. Not without a beacon.

Cutters,
We need to know the mess we are dealing with. Fye is blood. She made a fancy axe for you, on my dime Biter. And she has infromation about the sack of bones that landed us here. So I agree with Nix, we hear her out. Its a solid offer.

Flip

Mortui

I'll believe she's a blood when I see it.
I don't really care about penning the skeleton that sent us here, or knowing more about it; getting into blek like that'll get you boxed and you've got buckley's chance fighting someone capable of planeshifting us on a whim.

Biter.

Miss_Behaviour

Yeah, you got a good idea-pot on those shoulders, Biter. I'll run a red one for the boney berk, but there's bods you just don't mess with. Maybe a few turns from now we can get some payback.

Got more interest in the rift and the gad of merts up for the takes.

@miss_behaviour
I aint seeking to fight the damn bones. But knowing why we are here, seems like a solid first step. Just like one always should find ones bearings when landing on a new plane.

Flip

Miss_Behaviour

Sure, Cutter. Just load my brain-box up with questions for Fye and leave it to me. I'll get the dark of it all from her this cycle.

We should certainly look into this issue, if the veil is tearing here and we are currently stuck here, we need to know what we are dealing with. If nothing else, for our own protection now.

MadsAP

Agree with Genius and Flip here.
For some barmy reason, the bag of bones decided "we'd do", for something. Be nice to know what sodding plan he's brewing.
Just so we ain't caught in the blinds.

I have a pretty good idea why he sent us here.

I am not sure it is a good idea to get involved.

Simply put, the Planes are thin here, for some baffling reason, the outer planes have an untoward relationship with this region and can, with little effort, send large amounts of their denizens.

Normally, it'd require a lemon summoning them via sacrifice, ritual, etcetera, but...

They can just 'appear' here.

I got two theories:

He wants us to simply remove the farcical barrier between realms by our exit (our beacons are not gentle) and allow planar travel.
Or he expects us to be a noble, self-sacrificing bunch who'll put the greater good of the natives here and use the beacon in reverse (don't worry your heads) and strengthen the wall between planes.
There's a possible, third reason but...well, it's the 'I'm to dumb to understand.' Sort of reason.

We owe them nothing here, so I am inclined to go with one and let the natives handle it.

This is one anthill in one realm on one world in the Prime. Our bodies are bigger than that.
The lemons have a couple canny cutters amongst them. They'll be right as rum.

If that unsettles you, best count the worms in your brain-box and think of lessons and things to leave behind that the lemons can help themselves with.

Option 1 for me.

Jacob,
We could at least give them a little guidance while here? Perhaps line our pockets as well? I always do love when a good deed and fat purse go hand in hand.

Flip

SpiffyMeister

Do what you want. Don't tell them what our beacons will do, or they will try and stop us.
