"Right away, sir!" I say, and the next thing I know, I'm at the laundry room, doing just that, with the other laundry-duty kobolds.
... ... ...
Ah, I blanked out for awhile! Laundry can be relaxing to do. Instead of taking the escapist route, however, I will use the easy task to reflect for a moment upon this mission thus far!
The original goal was simple enough. The caverns that Muo inhabits, and the caverns that I inhabit, have been linked together using a chaotic portal. Zirkala would like to remove the chaos from it and make it a more permanent link. To do so, she requires a relic endowed with great power of Order.
That relic is at the top of the church tower here in Spearstone! We have a mere 7 days to return with the relic, but we reached Spearstone at the beginning of the third day - which is also today! It has been a long day, but with any luck, we'll soon have it. The trick, however, is that it must be taken without the lizards realizing it, as otherwise, they will launch a holy fight to retrieve it, and that will no doubt be an excuse to further abuse the already unfortunate kobold slaves within town. I have also learned that there is a counter item of equal strength that is imbued with chaos instead of order, but the details and location of that are lost on me.
I have learned what it looks like, and it should be possible for my newfound friends to recreate the object. These friends of mine worship chaos, a natural progression after being consistently beaten down by the order worshipping lizards above. With the help of gryphons, and a network of kobolds that has memorized the town's layout and schedule, I'm sure that a plan can be concocted to steal the relic, especially since my good friend Kexluk appears to be well respected in parts of town, especially after dealing with the dragon named Luzona.
Except I suppose for the part where Mosxa, a local lord, is attempting to kill Kexluk for unknown reasons. Lady Enlu, another lord of town that is far kinder than most lizardfolk and owned me for a brief period of time, may or may not have Kexluk's best wishes in mind, as well. It was her who attempted to stall Kexluk by keeping him within her walls, a rather clumsy attempt to be sure, but an attempt nonetheless. Supposedly, she wished to protect him from Mosxa, yet by doing so, she also gave Mosxa the time to gather all of his drakes and fly off to try to gather what parts of the dragon's hoard Kexluk couldn't bring back with him.
That didn't stop Kexluk, of course, who simply ran on foot to assure the dragon's safety, as Luzona was merely a harmless dragon that was caught inbetween fates, or so I was told. Kexluk shall return before long, where I'm sure he can handle himself.
