Brom still maintains his vigil. He thought they had looked at Edson's contract with the Powers. Brom didn't think about it, but Brom wasn't a very smart man.

Edson thinks about a loop hole too.. but those stories of mortals pulling one on the gods always just seemed like stories. He doubted there was any possibility.

Lanliss will give the stone if no one objects.
DM Steve -- Those stories of mortals pulling one on the gods always just seemed like stories. Thursday June 24th, 2021 11:51:22 PM Barratore, Velarin, and Emrys watch the conversation unfold.
Tishe’ feels they have missed something here. She taps some reserves to try and puzzle it out. Highlight to display spoiler: {The manfri is offering to let the Keepers have the stone in case delivery of the stone is necessary to complete the quest that must be complete before Edson is taken. Then again, by now you know he must gamble a lot.}
Lanliss hands the keystone out to the manfri.
Edson thinks about potential loopholes, but is not feeling hopeful.
Brom remains watchful.
The manfri starts to take the stone when Qaphsiel mentions, “It’s too bad I’ll never be able to tell this story. I love stories of bravery and heroics.” The manfri pauses and says, “I guess we have to do something about that, then.”
AC 27/ T27/ F23 CMD24 (Fdom of Move) HP 132/164 Tishe’ (SteveK) Friday June 25th, 2021 1:41:52 AM
Tishe’s brown eyes pop wide with the Manfri’s words and her mouth forms a perfect ‘o’. “Eureka!”, she shouts, excited. “I have found it!”
To the Manfri she wags a humorous finger like someone admonishing a character in a pantomime play. “Don’t you dare whisper a word about this to anyone, Gambler!”
And then she turns to her fellow Keepers. “Sieur Edson said the MistPowers told him that would come to pass IF he succeeded in his mission. And by Wardd’s Luck,” she winks at the Manfri, “we can guarantee we do NOT succeed, not completely. “ “First, our team ‘You’ mission from Quasphiel included to not raise an alarm, and we did. “Second, Sieur Edson, your ‘You’ mission included thumbing your nose at the Dragon Consortium. And you haven’t…. Yet. “
“So if we don’t brag about it, we failed Edison’s quest. State matter-of-fairly OK, but not rubbing the DCs nose in it. “

V merely raises an eyebrow at Tishe's logic. The wizard is not so sure the technicality will void the contract, but it's worth a shot.
(Dan K) AC: 45 (T 31 FF 35), CMD:45; HP: 226/260 Barratore Steelwind Friday June 25th, 2021 9:38:33 AM
Barratore cocks his head as Tishe lays out what seems like a way out. Well at least one that V seemed to follow. "So..." Barratore begins slowly, "We...succeeded at failing?"
"I think we do what Tishe is talking about."

"Ehh ... What would I do with more fame?" he says with a grin.
Edson Kazil - Shawn R; AC: 31(T 21, FF 20), CMD: 24 HP: 128/128 INVISIBLE Friday June 25th, 2021 1:01:34 PM
Edson looks at Tishe in astounding fashion. It was loose, but it did feel like a loophole.
"ehhh... I'd almost want to be a dark lord if it meant I got to thumb my nose at the Dragon Consortium. "
The skinny elf takes a breath and shakes his head.. "it'll be the hardest thing for me not to do... but If it means I get to stay with you guys, I'll grin and bear it. I can silently hate them and not brag about the greatest caper of all time. "
As the last word comes out, he turns to the woods and lets out a yell.
Turning back "Okay, I'm in."
Lanliss Drakeguard Michael A; AC: 36 (T 19, FF 18), CMD:31 HP:220/220 Extra Hp Temporary 63/100 Friday June 25th, 2021 7:09:21 PM
Lanliss is happy with Tishe' finding some logic and sense in that weird sense of events. "So our Edson is here to stay ?", he asks to make sure.
DM Steve -- What would I do with more fame? Saturday June 26th, 2021 12:10:27 AM Tishe’ finds a loophole and explains it to the others. Velarin merely raises an eyebrow at Tishe's logic. Barratore seems unsure but agrees. Emrys has all the fame he needs. Edson feels like this might work. Lanliss asks, "So our Edson is here to stay?" Brom continues to keep watch.
The manfri takes the keystone, dropping both it and the fake into his pouch. “The Wold owes you it’s thanks, and if I understand rightly it will never learn that. But I thank you. And I hope this works out. But just in case the urge to tell your tale becomes to great. . . Well, among the azatas, lillends like Qaphsiel are the tale-tellers and chroniclers, gathering lore and recording stories in the form of epic poems and songs. She will tell this story far and wide, with a few embellishments and some artistic license,” the manfri chuckles. “In a short while, people will believe they know the tale of this theft, almost like gospel. It’s hard to lord something over someone who thinks they know better, so even if the urge to brag overtakes you there’s a good chance you won’t be believed..”
“Your blessing is still intact -- you are safe from divination for a while yet. Go in health, keep your heads down, and good luck.”
With that the manfri and the azata disappear.
DM Steve -- OOC Saturday June 26th, 2021 12:17:42 AM Hey everyone! Great job on the final adventure. Be sure to go to the Giggling Ghost for the expected Party.
AC 27/ T27/ F23 CMD24 (Fdom of Move) HP 132/164 Tishe’ (SteveK) Saturday June 26th, 2021 3:16:10 AM
Tishe’ looks at her friends. Keep their heads down. Time to not be seen together very often in the Wold. Goodbyes were for later, however, now is the time to celebrate.
“I know this awesome place in Floating City for big celebrations…”
Edson Kazil - Shawn R; AC: 31(T 21, FF 20), CMD: 24 HP: 128/128 INVISIBLE Saturday June 26th, 2021 3:18:59 PM
Edson lets out a big, relaxing sigh. Hopefully this was over and they found the loophole.

"Floating City? Sounds like a nice place, but think I'm headed fer Plateau City. Gonna visit Mesaelia. Haven't seen her in a few months, but fer now I think I'm findin' some ale, a dump of a tavern and get drunk. Just like the old days." He says. "This guy's in need of some libations and I'm buying."
(Dan K) AC: 45 (T 31 FF 35), CMD:45; HP: 226/260 Barratore Steelwind Monday June 28th, 2021 8:40:50 AM
Barratore scoops up Edson in a back breaking, lung crushing squeeze, "You are infuriating! Dropping the rogue he draws his blade, "You know how close I came to killing you, you daft elf!" With a grin he adds, "You're lucky, we're lucky, we have her on our side" he thumbs at Tishe "To come up with these kind of clever solutions."
Satisfied, Barratore sheathes his weapon and looks back and forth between Tishe and Brom. "You guys seem to both be talking about the Giggling Ghost and I'm all in all seeing how much gold Brom is bringing." He says with a big grin.
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 18(FF 18), hp 133/167 Monday June 28th, 2021 1:05:48 PM
(Taking a break for a couple months to move. Look forward to posting with you all gain soon.)
"Sorry boys and girls. I gotta run. It's been a true pleasure. Not sure where I'm going to end up building a retirement keep, but once i do, I'll pop in on ya and let you know."

Greetings Woldians!
We have TWO games that have achieved Level 20 and just retired over the weekend! So in our usual tradition, we're holding a celebration for the next few days on the Giggling Ghost board!
Folks are already beginning to gather. We expect everyone to join in and post daily on the GG board, but all are excused from posting in their "regular career game" through Wednesday at least. :) It doesn't mean you can't post, just that you don't have to.
DMs if you're in combat, feel free to just post a "pause until after Wednesday" if you'd like, or you can do that anyway. These celebrations are important as both of these games have players who have been working for at least 9 years to achieve this retirement for their PCs.
--DMs may take the role of an NPC or 2 if they wish and hand out dishes, create action, help out, etc. --Anyone may take the stage and tell a story or sing a song. --Post as many times a day as you'd like on the Giggling Ghost board.
Entertain yourselves and enjoy!
Yes you may go there now and post. Yes you should go there now and post. What are you waiting for? Yes, now is fine. Are you still reading this? Why?

Lanliss laughs. 'Finally some time with Manolo...need to start to think about the next generation', he thinks to himself. "We saved the Wold...The Giggling Ghost is the perfect place", Lanliss says and agrees with the keepers idea. Lanliss bids farewell to Velarin "Don't forget us !", he shouts to him, "Are you coming to the ghost ?", he shouts even louder....hoping that they will have a full party for a celebration at the giggling ghost. .
