Zi'da 2, Arc 719
On the 2nd of Zi‘da, Devin Thorn, thief conman extraordinaire and priest of Delroth (and magical mutant!) sat at his usual table at Karshe’s, a mug of Desnind Mead in front of him. His companions Aidan and Talieson, sat left and right on him and glowered at him. They looked incredibly unhappy.
“So, let me get this straight”, Talieson, a handsome, dark-haired man in his thirties that had already broken the hearts of countless men and women said. “You dragged us all the way to Desnind to go on a treasure hunt, and now you tell us that you’ve never been on a treasure hunt before and don’t even know how to read a map?”
“Sure!” Devin said, smiling brightly.
Talieson looked at him incredulously for a moment before he asked, “You know that this wasn’t a compliment, right? I was just wondering if we are wasting our time!” he pointed out.
“I know”, Devin confirmed in a light-hearted tone, took a gulp from his mead and continued, “I’m not really worried though. It’s just an additional challenge. I like challenges. Doing something for the first time is fun! Besides, we can always hire local guides if you are worried about us getting lost in the jungle or something like that!”
“Maybe I could ask Mik’hail or Des’trill”, he mused. “Des’trill still owes me something; and besides, the two of them seem to be quite familiar with the area.” He had pretty much saved Des’trill’s life the season before when the Medicine House had been attacked.
“That doesn’t sound too bad”, Aidan, a nice, normal, hard-working university student who had always been the more diplomatic one of Devin’s companions decided, and Devin beamed at him. He quite liked when people said exactly what he wanted to hear!
