Ekbard in hushed voice says "So, castius told us that thimotaen is 1 days trek away. Then, it is another day until we reach a big forest, forests have plenty of food stuff in them, so we will be well fed within it. Forest is 4 days big. Then we reach big mountain. mountain is 5 days long. Then we reach the wrecklands. We have been told the tower is two days into the wastelands. so, this tower is 13 days away and 13 days back, and its the 13 days back which is what i was mostly worried about when i was talking to askin'. He wants this blood and as much of it as we can carry. Horses could speed us there much faster, and if not burdened by us on the way back could carry huge burdens. This money was given at the specific request about burdens and carrying restrictions. Maybe if you were to talk to askin', and mention that with the GP he provided us with to fully equip ourselves for this most important and vital mission, you only had enough GP to buy yourself a cursed piece of armour. Demand enough money to properly equip our party with armour and weapons. If he mentions giving me a pouch of gold, say that that money has already been earmarked for the procurement of hirelings, retainers and beasts of burden, and that on such a perilous journey in the name of soet, shouldn't we be equipped with the best armour and not some cursed piece of junk"

"The mere sight of you plebs has irked me from the moment I laid eyes on you, I must vanquish you forthwith". With that, the cleric casts a nasty spell transporting the merry band of plebiscites elsewhere in the realm. Alas, they have vanished with a sticky puddle of love soup on the floor the only evidence of their existence.

"I had a good idea how strong a devil lord could be, way more powerful than someone like I or a 100 of me, could ever handle, but i was told he was bound and could not escape. I had way too much faith in what this askin fellow has said. He had told us that the devil was bound by god magic. Why should I doubt that. Askin' himself is in shock that the devil escaped. You think that'd be the first thing you mention when bringing a fighter into a room with a devil, "oh, by the way, don't try to attack the beast or he will be freed from his bindings". If anyone has a screw loose its that askin' chap or his god or whomever forgot to forward on that really important sliver of information."

It'll be a thimble full of blood ye'll be getting if there's a raft of treasure within. Take me for example, I had very little means to kit meself out so I bought this cursed armour. I don't think it'll serve me very well if I'm going into a holy shrine and not able to carry me share. If ye kit us out properly, we can bring back several wine barrels full of the stuff.. What say ye?'

I'd prefer not to hide this from the spellcasters, I won't tell them but I will not lie. How was the afterlife? Did you meet Vergadain? I had no idea that spiny devil was so powerful, nor did Ekbard I imagine, he seems to have a few screws loose. Tell me fellows, how long do we plan to await the return of the spellcasters? I say three mornings from tomorrows we leave without the mottlers."
