Terel Is A Total Bastard

by Kalshana

I do not have much time, we will be leaving for the labatory that Olalia knows about. Stupid, how could I be so stupid to not try to mindlink with her before? Perhaps I shouldn't be so harsh to myself but we could have sorted this entire mess out days ago and some people could still be here.
 
We left Highwalls and went down to Blackbones to chat with the warforged to see if there was any suspiciously skinless men hanging around and to see if there was anywhere that was conspiciously abandoned. Neither offered any leads but Blue - the barkeep at the warforged tavern - advised that there was no real direct routes to Khybers Gate from Highwalls. Unless, of course, you count the sewers.
 
Again, it seems so obvious now. The bodies were dumped in the sewers - why not have the base of operations there as well? Few people go into the sewers, seems the best sort of place to hide something like that and you have a handy waste disposal unit just outside.
 
Blue pointed us in the directions of the goblins. Some of them earn some coin by scavenging in the sewers so might have seen something or - perhaps more likely - know of Rhazala. This lead did not turn up anything aside from advising to look around in Malleon's Gate most goblinoids live in Sharn. Even then, no guarentee of finding her or anyone who saw anything. It made more sense to try and lure out the perpetrators using Terfel as bait. After all, whilst a little better dressed than some of the refugees, people would have him pegged as just another Cyran refugee and they have already tried to kidnap once before.
 
We slowly - and seperately - made our way across Highwalls whilst Terfel tried to make himself look...alone and kidnappable. It did not go as planned as we found Pierce deactivated. Warden healed him before Pierce quickly explained that Daine, Lei and Llyr have been taken. Terfel took the news stoically but it was clear that we would be needing to sort this sooner rather than later.
 
That's when we noticed Olalia. That's when I decided to try and mindlink with her when our attempts at communication being written language failed. She couldn't understand anything - any written or spoken language. She could only understand Terel because he is - amongst other things - telepathic. She seemed astounded that she could understand me and she wanted to help us. I smiled at her - I will need to help her more once this is over with. Even if Terel lives at the end of this, I am going to ensure he is kept away from her at all costs. She deserves better and she's been through so much.
 
I have to go. It ends today.
