Their voice was soft and smooth, though difficult to pin down gender wise. Juro would recognize a bit of the accent that Princess Eucera had spoken with, though this one's was less thick and they spoke far more smoothly and naturally than she had.<br/><br/>"Second Chance Club. It is a pleasure to be acquainted." Cinnabar said with a refined bow, and then giving a smaller bow of their head as each member individually introduced themselves. Katra would hear an impressed clap emanate from beneath their "robes" when she showed off her power, "Marvelous, both imposing and beautiful. I thank you for answering my request, and I graciously put myself in your care for the journey to come" they said, a smile in their tone, "As for provisions, I keep a stock of everything I personally need for my continued travels. I expect the journey will be about 3 or 4 days depending on our pace, and of course it would take that same length for you to travel back once we part ways, so you should pack provisions accordingly"<br/><br/>However they gave a tilt of their head when Juro mentioned the journey would not be perilous, their masked face following the path of his gaze, not quite seeming to follow what he was implying, "Ah, forgive me. I understand the low reward may have implied this journey would be lax, but in truth it will not be without danger" they clarified, "My current route requires that I pass through Mount Gellabore, which is the length through which I require escort. Not only does the mountain pose the normal natural dangers that such terrain entails: cold temperatures, rocky cliffs, and wild beasts, but it is also home to a dwarven sanctuary"<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">spout lore 7-9</div><div class="spoiler_body">Mount Gellabore (https://i.imgur.com/p2LO47l.jpg) is large mountain to the west of Wyrmfell. Just south of the Draketongue river, it is cut off from the rest of the mountain range that encircles the capital city, and as such hosts a few unique flora and fauna not found elsewhere, usually larger and more rugged than their typical counterparts. It also contains the dwarven city of Grimhold, and the dwarves there consider the entire mountain their territory (though they are still under the fealty of Lyse). </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">spout lore 10+</div><div class="spoiler_body">The dwarves of Gaius have a bloody history with the sect. 80 years ago they waged an underground war against Gold Nest (the northern hive city). The sect defeated the dwarves in a crushing victory, and facing total anihilation the dwarves were forced to retreat south, eventually taking refuge in Mount Gellabore, where they have been holed up ever since. While the dwarves are not hostile to most outsiders, they hold a deep, seething hatred of the sect, for obvious reasons. So while the mountain would not be too dangerous for most Travelers to journey alone, it is another story entirely for a sect like Cinnabar. </div></div>they explained, "I'm deeply sorry if it seems like I was deceiving you. It was not my intention. I understand if you were to change your mind about taking the quest" they added, sounding genuinely apologetic.<br/><br/>
