It is remarkable to me that even when faced with troubles to our plans we are still able to accomplish our missions. We were spotted on our approach to the prison. You'd think not casting a shadow would make me harder to spot... but apparently not.
Krastus and I made quick work of the walls and lowered ropes to the others and then it was a simple matter of breaking and entering the prison itself. They had firing lines set up and were prepared for such attempts, but they were not prepared for us. We cut through them, stunned them, shot fireballs at them, and shot them. Mustn't forget how we shot them... Sira, anyway.
But the guards ran away in terror. And we didn't have keys. But we did have Krastus and his lockpicks. We went into the prison and saw a lift of sorts designed to carry people, and prisoners, down to the lowest levels. I decided that the deepest level would be the best bet to find our captured mage, and I was right.
We found not just him, but two other mages, bound and gagged to a wall. After avoiding any and all traps that might have been there, we freed the mages. One was, fortunately, Thomas the Orange. Another was an attractive woman, and another Doreen! We fled to the surface and made our way to our dingy escape... only to find that no one secured it before we left. I managed to swim to it and bring it back to us. The Doreen Mage left, since he could swim. Thomas and the Woman joined us on our ship. I explained to Thomas, who is a countryman of mine, the situation we are in, and what we were searching for.
He gave me the Tears of Lys. Or, I suppose, the Tear of Lys. Once there were twelve, now only one remains. And he explained that one must hold onto the Tear in your hand, think of your greatest loss, and let your tears fall onto the gem. At which point Lys will grant you what you most desire. I suppose we will have to ask for the names of the hags when the time is right.
Thomas left with more thanks, and I suppose we made a decent impression on him and his crew. Even if I did have to punch on of them out for being a little cowardly.
This also makes me believe Krastus when he said he might not be working for the Kierans... or it's deeper cover. I think we need to see about Terras before we leave. That will settle it, once and for all, whether anyone is spying. And we'll strike a real blow against such a terrible Empire.
