When the troll pointed out that the chains were eating away at the illusion woven around Garret, he swore loudly, only now noticing how the hand that clutched the shackles had healthy flesh around its fingers once more. How in all the seven hells had he managed miss that?! Thankfully the rest of his disguise had remained in tact in front of the Goblin, but had he been exposed any longer it would have disintegrated entirely. Without further prompting, Garret placed the shackles on the indicated table… Well, more like tossed them on the table like they were on fire. As soon as the enchanted metal left his hand the illusion reformed, returning his flesh to a pallid gray coloration.<br/><br/><span style="color: navy">“Well, that would solve one problem…”</span>Garret replied, scratching the gaping hole in his cheek yet again as he puzzled,<span style="color: navy">“But you’d still be gagged, bound, and without any weapons. You’d be effectively helpless if you were separated from me… Unless you can speak an arcane formula through this,”</span>Garret held up the red ball gag for a look,<span style="color: navy">“I sure as hell couldn’t…”</span>He gave Zer a brief sidelong glance before continuing.<br/><br/><span style="color: navy">“As for a scrying spell… well I haven’t preformed an orthodox one in quite a few hundred years but I’m sure I can pull it off, just need the gem and hair,”</span>A short pause followed as he met the troll’s eyes with his own goggled gaze… Briefly debating if he should bring up his plan, which would almost certainly fan the already considerable flames of rage inside the troll. Garret decided to gamble; heck even if the troll broke into a fit of rage it would at least be an entertaining way to blow their cover.<br/><br/><span style="color: navy">“I was thinking of something else though… Perhaps I could trade you for the girl? We’d just have to convince Fizzlespurk you’re a virgin and you’d be more than equal to the girl in value. One pretty slave girl for another.”</span>Another brief pause,<span style="color: navy">“Oh don’t look at me like that, you know we have to keep up the appearance that you're a woman, so stop being so sensitive about it.”</span>He said before Zer could so much as blink in reply,<span style="color: navy">“Then after the trade, you could over power your guard, escape and meet me by the city gates. Alternatively I could try and intercept you and your gaurd and then attempt to get us all out at the same time... Either way I still think the trade element is good cause it gets us the girl without arousing too much suspicion.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
