No problem Ebb!<br/><br/>The ruby got dropped here:<div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=203764.msg10348985#msg10348985">Quote from: FallenDabus on 06-08-2014, 00:02:47</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">As soon as Marcus speaks of being willing to pay for passage, a single small ruby drops from on high. In your minds, you hear the telepathic voice of Arakka, and though you cannot see the Red Abashai in the throng above you, you are certain he is still watching.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The implication being that Arakka was the one who dropped it as a gesture of goodwill/friendship/I'm just doing my job/I'm not trying to screw you over. From a meta standpoint, I'm having Arakka provide the ruby because a) its a handy trick that not everyone may know about, especially since not everyone reads Planescape as obsessively as I do and b) I didn't expect any of you to have a ruby on hand.<br/><br/>Swimming is feasible without ditching your gear. There are pros and cons to both swimming and the ferryman, so its up to you. It is worth noting that a Marreanoloth can ferry you anywhere connected to the River Styx... and the Styx crosses into all of the Lower Planes. Obviously though, that service costs way more.<br/><br/>Yugoloths are the neutral evil fiends, and the Marreanoloth Arakka has shown you how to some is one of their breed. Arath is expressing his distaste at fiends in general, but Yugoloths are slightly more tolerable to him than Baatezu since they are less lawful.<br/><br/>Sorry it was confusing. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help that in the future :)
