Well that was a shitty situation we got ourselves into

We have not seen Gurval since his bombshell of a revelation, hopefuily he is okay. The fact there was something, or someone making him feel that we would need to kill him was very concerning. Whatever the reason was it can't be good, if we got the chance to ask him would he tell us, or we would we end up finding out the hard way?
 
We had gotten a message from Saib to meet him at his hideout in the moonstone district. It was probably a good thing Arthom had not come along, Syrus had just mentioned that Saib was behind the attack on Arthom. I felt Saib's actions were a bit extreme, sure Arthom had been mean to him in the past but that was no excuse for him to harm Arthom. I also wondered if Syrus was annoyed that Saib had gone behind his back and attacked Arthom, maybe he even felt betrayed.
 
We entered Saib's hideout and were bombarded with the smell of incense and spices. Saib was lounging on a bunch of cushions and was surrounded by Solen. He looked more confident and sure of himself compared to the last time i saw him. He showed us a scroll which contained the layout of a Triad outpost in Zyniii, he said showing us this intel was an olive branch, and he hoped we could move on from past issues. He better pray that Arthom saw it that way, there was no guarantee that Arthom would not want to get his revenge on Saib.
 
Syrus asked Saib why he thought we would want to go this outpost, to which Saib replied that important figures from the Triad would be there, and there was a mysterious red room that was rumored to hold something valuble. The outpost could also give us the chance to find out exactly what the Traid were planning for Zyniii. He gestured to the black feathered Solen next to him and said that Kaito could provide us with Triad uniforms. Syrus knew Saib better than the rest of us and it looked like he trusted what Saib was saying, which was enough for me. We discussed the pros and cons of breaking into the outpost and decided in the end that we would check it out.

Syrus and Ko Rava planned to break into the outpost through the rooftop entrance. Zyanya and Yifeng dressed in the Triad uniforms would enter right through the front door, with Zyanya's illusion powers disgusing their faces. Lucid and i had decided to break into the outpost via the back alley sewer entrance.
 
The overwhelming stench of the sewer filled my nostrils and i struggled not to spew from it. We turned a corner and saw a large portly Nusaru dancing, and then once he was done he just sat down and began to meditate. At first i just stared at him dumbfounded, the last thing i expected to find in this sewer was a dancing Nusaru. Lucid and i approached the Nusaru and after chatting wih him we found out his name was Mogg, and that he was in the sewer cause he was lost. He had a very laid back demenour about him and somehow knew our names before we even mentioned them. When we questioned him on how he knew, he simply answered that Alpha had told him. i could not help but think that there was more to this Nusaru then meets the eye.
 
We offered for him to join us which he accepted. We had been walking for what felt like half an hour but we still had not found an exit into the outpost. Mogg then said he would ask Alpha for directions, did this frog actually talk to Alpha or was he confusing his inner voice for a god? We let Mogg lead the way for a bit since we were not getting anywhere ourselves. The stench of the sewer was really getting on my nerves and then i slipped and fell getting sewage all over me, the last thing i wanted to hear was Mogg's calm voice saying Alpha will provide.
 
I don't know what Mogg did but one minute he was walking over some pipes and the next minute a wave of sewage came crashing towards us and began to carry us away. It took all my energy to stay aloat, whenever i had thought about how i wanted to die, drowning in a river of shit was not on the list. Mogg on the other hand was not phased by this sudden onslaught of shitty water and floated on his back. He grabbed Lucid and i and then placed us on his stomach, i clung onto that large round belly as though it was a life raft. The force of this shitty wave was so strong that seconds later it broke through a wall into a meeting room of sorts. Chaos ensued as the Mokuna in the room struggled to stay aflot, Mogg grabbed Ko Rava out of the stinky water and placed her on his belly. She looked at Lucid and i in shock and we quickly explained what was going on. Syrus was able to avoid this river of shit thanks to his wings, Yifeng and Zyanya also avoided it courtsey of Yifeng's floating cloud.
 
As the river of sewage flowed from the meeting room to the rest of the outpost the levels dropped and we were able to get our footing again. Outside of the meeting room a few doors down, we noticed a red glow was coming from a door, this seemed likely to be the red room that Saib had told us about. As soon as we entered the room we started to feel hazy and there were bright red crystals all around the room. Mogg mentioned that the crystals themselves were making us high so we went about destroying them. We were then suprised to find cages at the back of the room filled with people from various backgrounds including a Lupo. There was even a small Rojikan child chained to the wall and she looked very weak. We went about freeing the prisoners and Syrus and i used our magic to heal the Rojikan child.
 
Luckily the Triad were so focused on getting the river of sewage under control that we were able to escape with the prisoners. Before the wave had crashed through the meeting room Yifeng and Zyanya were able to hear the Triad's plans for Zyniii, which involved taking over Zyniii making the Triad the ruling power of Zyniii. I had also asked the Lupo how he had become their prisoner and he told me that the Traid had come to his home by boat and had stolen him from his tribe. Upon hearing this i concluded that the Triad had sailed as far as my homeland to steal the Lupo, and based on the other prisoners it seemed they had captured people from other lands in Mayhos. I was appalled by their actions and the pain they had caused these people by ripping them away from their homes. The Triad needed to be stopped, this evil could not continue.
