"For someone who complains about wasteful talking, you've said much and offered little," says Bughu. "You gave us nothing to trust and you give us nothing now."
He turns to Erich and Jon. "You two. Do you trust this man enough that we let him walk with us?"
"He seems to have a high tolerance for being at the wrong end of your crossbow. Judging by the risks he's taken with you and the cultists, I'd say he's shown what sort he is."
Bughu huffs, finally understanding Jon's eloquent words from before. "Fine," he says, flatly. He offers a hand to Leosin to assist the monk, and asks Erich to take point again with the half-elf's darkvision.
Leosin gladly takes your hand and climbs to his feet. He offers you a grateful nod, stretches, and follows after Erich as he leads the way. You make it back to Greenest shortly after night falls.
"Before you rejoin your brothers," Bughu says to Leosin, "you will want to speak with Governor Nighthill. He'll be interested in anything you've discovered." He looks for someone to point the group towards the governor, or Keep Master Escobert.
Your return is met with cheers and a small group of villagers steps forward, leading you into the keep to where Governor Nighthill is staying. You are let in immediately and find him deep in conversation with Escobert and the young monk Nesim. They all stand as you enter.
"This was the Cult of the Dragon," states Bughu. "They hit Greenrest to gather treasure to honor Tiamat. We found their camp to the southeast, where they reportedly have a hatchery to breed dragon soldiers."
"They're not camped too far from our doorstep then... Do you think that they'll return with an army of dragons?" Nighthill asks fearfully.
Leosin allows himself to be escorted to a chair by Nesim, "I don't think that they'll be back here, not any time soon, they just wanted any wealth that was stored here. It seems that they have a plan to bring Tiamat into our world..."
Escobert's expression darkens and he mutters a curse so foul that I can't repeat it here.
That seems to be their intent. Erich says off-handedly.
I am glad to be out of that camp though. Wasn't a pleasant place to be. I don't relish the idea of going back, but will likely have to. he thinks to himself, shuddering slightly.
"There are cliffs in isolated areas," says Bughu. "We can take out the few sentries they have in the area and scale the cliff face down. We'll need rope and climbing gear."
