Adian had to think about that.

"We would need you," Adian said. "But the children here would need you more. If the enemy made a move while we struck at the tower I'd want someone who could defend them, or escape with them if need be, to be right here with them."

<t>Adian shook the emaciated elf's thin hand a bit more gently than he probably could have: Zyzzat looked so fragile! Even though he knew very well this was not the case, his instinctive reflex was to be careful. <br/> <br/> "Can you join us?" he asked. "We were just settling in for our morning bath...

<t>G'eldfryn stood and glowered at Zyzzat.<br/> <br/> "I've told you before, if you aren't a hot girl I'm not interested."<br/> <br/> "Are you really that shallow, G'eldfryn?" Alexyra asked as she examined him for injury. Outside of a few bumps and scrapes the young elf was fine.<br/> <br/> "A fine ...

<t>Adian's attention was distracted instantly. The farther along she got the more anxious he was becoming. Twins were rare among elves, and Adian was starting to worry for their--and Cinder's--health. This manifested as intense protectiveness, making him shift his attention if she showed the slighte...

"He still plays with dimensional spaces?" Adian said. "You'd think he'd have learned after Neverwinter. And underwater shouldn't be a problem." He grinned at Veraka and Cinder. "We do have a little experience in that particular medium."

<t>"Isn't that cheating?" Adian asked no one in particular.<br/> <br/> "Did someone make up a set of rules when I wasn't looking or something?" Maydiira said with a shrug. "They're having fun, and that little girl has a lot of talent for her age. She should encourage it."<br/> <br/> "Don't look now,...

<t>"Hel-lo," G'eldfryn said, his eyes immediately caught by the movement of the racing mother and daughter. His eyes were on the young mother, of course. "And what a lovely start to the day."<br/> <br/> There was a soft [i:3qrvjtc7]whap[/i:3qrvjtc7] as Maydiira slapped the back of his head...none to...

<t>Adian patted the girl on her back with a smile.<br/> <br/> "Go on, then," he said. "Have fun, but don't break anything. Or any[i:3i7m82o6]one[/i:3i7m82o6]," he added. Who knew whether or not this strange child had any extra powers even she was not aware of?<br/> <br/> "Beyond killing Zyzzat," Adi...

<t>Morning came to the Promenade. Morning being a relative concept in Undermountain, it was called 'morning' by virtue of the majority of the populace waking up. Men and women headed for the Chamber of Song and the common bathing pool. It was a time of informal chatter, with no ranks or heirarchies....

"I would like to hear your reasoning for that as well," Adian said simply. "I am not convinced bringing a child along with us on this is a good idea."

<t>Adian paled at the sight of the man's mutilated face. Zyzzat did that?<br/> <br/> Goddess help them.<br/> <br/> "If he did indeed do this to you then he shall answer for it," Adian said. "But not now. not yet. if we can save him he will be the greatest asset that we could have. He will have been ...

"Agreed," Adian said. "If his death is at all avoidable, we must do so. He will be a formidable ally if we can save him."

"Hungry little thing," Adian observed. And that bought up another issue.

"We can't possibly bring her with us into Zyzzat's tower either," he said. "And she'll need protection. Our enemy may know that she's the reincarnation of the Guardian."
