Ponce: "Look, in your current attire you won't do a child impersonation very well."

"You can't exactly hide that polearm up your ass."

“Are you sure about that?”

"No, but when they see a halfling bent over shitting out a lance I think that'll raise some alarms."

hmm

“Good point.”

i dont think the child thing will work

yeah

Ponce: "I don't know, you'd need some way of disturbing the ceremony first before I'd even consider taking out a weapon."

spiders

fire

fire

yes?

i like the idea of fire

"The spiders, huh? Well, guess it'll certainly prevent any civilian casualties. You'd still need your shit stowed away in the temple before hand."

"It is forbidden for any to enter the sunswords' temple during the entire ritual, that includes the imperial guard. Not sure if they'd be one to adhere to tradition if ya were swinging blades at people, but you know."

"I 'spose children are considered 'pure', or somethin'. A load of crap that is."

this guy hates everyone

I like it

Ponce: "Well, guess you lot should head off! You got a big day ahead of you!"

"Oh and don't get yourself killed. An adventuring crew like yourselves is any shopkeeps's dream."

“Thanks for the supplies and gifts, we’ll try not to die”

Ponce: "Remember to drink that potion!"

So, the party heads off towards the temple.

now the real question is

when do I drink my potion

You walk closer and see your good old friends standing guard around the temple.

Yune has to hold Abraham back from bouncing any further.

Yune: "Okay, me and Squires have a spell that let's us talk with you guys whenever you'll need to during the mission. We can relay any messages between the rest of you."

Yes, it's a real spell. It's called "message".

oh

cool

Yune: "So I'll be hanging back during most of this. I can enlarge Max for any direct fights, but I think we should wait till tomorrow for that."

Squires: "What's the plan, guys?"

yes
