"Goden shouldn't have rushed off like that," remarked Sir Morgeruat. "My steed
Clonin will be able to bring
all of us to Fristway Gate in
less than one day, with his wings and the chariot the gods have supplied us. And wouldn't it be dangerous for Goden to go there all by himself, besides?"
"Maybe we'll have to go there first and wait for him," said Rufus.
"Well?" asked Ghzarbanan. "Does anyone know more about the bozos we'll encounter at that place, their strengths and weaknesses?"
"If my memory does not fail me," replied Khadgar, "the three demons mentioned by Goden are actually none other than the legendary
Three Stooges of the Demon World. They're supposed to be
very stupid (ooc: SecretMaster, you don't mind
) -- so stupid, you can fool them easily with clever tricks. So maybe we can think of some trick to fool them, and then we'll be able to pass them by easily. As for the two shadow lords..."
"Goden said they were once
champions of good," said the halfling. "I wonder in this respect whether my
Ankh of Light might be of use? Its light is supposed to have the power to
reawaken the goodness in any evil beings that have once been good..."
"I suppose it would be worth trying it on the shadow lords," said Sir Jorlon, "though we should still be prepared for the possibility that it would not work."
"I think the demons still imprisoned in my temple can also give us more clues as to what else we're to expect as we make our way to the Shadow Citadel," joined StoneRock. "Plus any other useful information. Let's go to my temple in this town after we finish our meal. If they don't tell us, our friends Magnus and Khadgar will read the demons' minds using their newly learned psionic spells!"
