Urvasi wanders right through the checkpoint, not even bothering to officially notice the guards...and they, particularly given what has befallen their 'beloved' leader, are clearly disinclined to slow her down.  As her companions, you all get the same courtesy, which puts you on the far side of the checkpoint, closer to the Temple of Earth and the really boring sages...<br/><br/>(swipe cut)<br/><br/><strong>"No tea.  No booze.  No pretty girls..."</strong><br/><br/>Three guesses who that is.<br/><br/><strong>"And on top of all that I gotta put up with these boring old baldies asking me a zillion questions.  It's like they don't believe me!"</strong><br/><br/>And three guesses where you are.<br/><br/><strong>"I swear, if you hadn't promised me that one little thing..."</strong><br/><br/><em>Mai, who promised Urvasi something?</em><br/><br/><em>Ling, what did that person promise in exchange for Urvasi putting up with all this?</em><br/><br/><strong>"...I'd already be out of here!  Talk about no-star accommodations!"</strong><br/><br/>Although in all candor, given that this is a temple, and technically cloistered, it is not that the rooms you've been assigned are poor or tiny or anything like that.  Considering the situation, they've been most generous!  So Urvasi is primarily complaining about the no booze, no meat, no nookie sort of policy that such an establishment imposes.  Oh, and no fighting (with the obvious exception for sparring and training).<br/><br/>On the bright side, you made it here without mishap.  On the mostly bright side, the sages have taken an interest in Urvasi. She doesn't care for it very much, but them's the breaks.  No doubt if the sages were all comely young tea girls who enjoyed a woman's touch she'd be overjoyed.<br/><br/><em>Ling, second question: something around here feels off.  What is it?</em>
