"So I had to get out the way I came in, which meant all over the broken traps that were even more deadly this time, up the frozen ass breaking slope, and down the forever chilled mountain, but I did all of that to return to you guys." Rosettia was getting shelled, the opposition (more of an internal war than anything) had decided they really wanted a river port, and the Guard decided that was not in their best interest. So that meant the town was getting blown up by assholes with mortars (supplied by Hanlon, because never miss a good war!). I was hiding out with Valrym and Nidget, Andre and his order were out fighting somewhere, the three of us not so much.
"I feel so much better you're here Trezlan, you really complete us." Nidget was so nice to me.
"Oh yeah he's a picture of responsible kindness, just like his employer who supplied this revolution. Somewhere I'm sure Trezlan you are behind this." Valrym considerably less so
"I did not cause this particular war thank you very much, I just had a revolution in Lork, so I'm tapped out for causing conflicts the world over." Valrym's bar was the best place to hole up thanks to a really deep basement (shocking from an earth Godling to dig such a deep basement I know).
"Guys I think you are missing the bigger point at this point." Nidget ever the diplomat.
"Which is?" Valrym as always can't see the forest from the trees
"How can we possibly make a profit in the midst of all this chaos of course."
"Right Trezlan how can we make money in the midst of a war zone. No you idiot, how can we get out of town until this all dies down." Valrym sighed.
"You two only think of saving yourselves, its a shame humanity has its head so far up its own ass."
"Oh I'm sorry former war instrument of the gods, what should we do instead establish peace between two warring factions? Or run away and hope they kind of work it out?"
"I like the running away option myself."
"As so I Nidget, as do I."
"You're both hopeless one of these days your decisions will catch up to you both."
"Well I'm sure Nidget will get killed by something stupid he did eventually, but me? I'm good for a long time Val, even more so after what I did recently." Expecting me or Nidget to feel bad about our life choices was a losing effort, so Val just quieted down and Nidget and I tried to hatch a plan about how to get out of his basement, and away from all the explosions. Thankfully an opportunity was about to present itself shortly! That will be the next entry naturally.
