"I think we should wait too. How should we go about preparing? I have no idea how long it will take to find the gnolls lair, so it might be a good idea to bring a lot of food and water along with us. Do you know if the town has a good place to buy weapons and armor?"<br/><br/>Kristina looked to the High Priest as they came over to the three of them. "They're greeting the new champions currently. I already found the tracks that the gnolls left and we plan on following them after the others get back. I think Sam and Yadi are still in the inn."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The High Priest took his fingers to his chin stroked his thumb across it thoughtfully. "Interesting. Very interesting. Highly unusual."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261064.msg13042932#msg13042932">Quote from: Doomblade403xxx on 13-03-2017, 03:24:34</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Of course the High Priest wanted the gnoll threat handled in the most expeditious means possible. This ends the threat to Newgate and makes his little burg quite profitable again. In all the action movies back home, Rambo, Conan, or whomever would arm up and head into the belly of the beast slaughtering the bad guys and saving the day with much aplomb. The problem in this setting is that all of the champions have a very particular skill set. Going into a fight alone means getting killed, and getting killed, aside from being painful, helps no one. It actually leaves Newgate open for even more assaults and pillaging. <br/><br/>"We will hit the road when our champion ranks are at full strength. A wizard is neither late or early in setting upon a task. He sets forth only when completion is assured and the proper assistance has arrived." He says casually. "A wise man once said 'He will win who knows when to fight, and when not to fight'. At this moment we are not ready."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"Perhaps not but for every moment that you delay, the gnolls likely get stronger. I certainly hope that you are up for that challenge." Then dismissively he added. "If not, then Ackaedes will provide."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261064.msg13044852#msg13044852">Quote from: Kathyan on 14-03-2017, 00:54:33</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">The arrival of the elders was not something that Jessica liked but she didn't show any discomfort as it was prudent to not let them know about it, "I think the best we might do is to wait for Tim and Charlie's return at the bar, we have tried to find out something more about the situation but it seems there is nothing left to do but to follow those gnoll bastards. Jocelyn there might provide us or at least tell where we can get enough booze and food for the way."<br/><br/>Jessica wouldn't give further explanation about their actions and simply continued her way to the tavern hoping everyone else would follow, there she would ask about what Kristina mentioned and if there was a way for the champions to get some sort of transportation, horses or a wagon, should they one to carry the drinks and food.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"Very well. If that is what you choose. I just do not believe that your choices necessarily display the highest wisdom." With that, the High Priest took his leave.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261064.msg13045207#msg13045207">Quote from: Doomblade403xxx on 14-03-2017, 03:03:51</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Sun Tzu didn't ever say 'follow the rogue with the nice ass' but he should've. He follows her to the Inn and once out of earshot of the elders and high priests he comments on the meeting. His remarks are casual but they hold a certain amount of weight. <br/><br/>"No wonder they have went through champions like water." He says with a false smile for anyone who is going to pass by.

"Yeah, it seems all we are to them is cannon fodder. We die and then more champions show up. I wish we could get some answers, like whether or not we will return to our home world if we die. I'm just choosing to believe that because that's what helps me sleep at night. It kind of makes since that we'd be returned though.
