Silver Insanity

"Um... Nevermind. Anything interesting I can understand?"

"Anyhow, you two might want to hear the results of the interrogation... For starters, those two are convinced that a rescue mission will arrive within a day or two at most. Apparently this isn't the first time a Tavinoy airship has been captured, but if it's ever lasted for long, they've managed to keep it quiet."

"And no, the mage didn't live here; he just showed up to talk to the locals. His name is Abraxion, and he's one of the emperor's three advisors. From what I could get, it sounds like a fairly standard adventuring party; a wizard, a cleric, a rogue, and a warrior."

Aurora's mouth quirks. "I suspect the rescue mission might be a bit more firepower heavy than normal for rescuing a ship - that Abraxion figure lit out of here rather hastily when I refused to fall dead for what was apparently the second time..." She glances around her. "So, anyone have any ideas for how to hide an airship?"

"I can only really think of a single one, and I don't like it terribly much. Especially as it would take up most of the available sky." Stewart frowns. "It's probably better just to abandon the ship somewhere obnoxious."

"Most of..." Aurora successfully stifles the urge to look up. "Why do I have the suspicion you're not talking about the sky that's above us right now?"

"No, I'm not. I do a lot of research, but my own specialty is the Plane of Dreams. And that's the only good place I can think to put it. But even that could eventually be found, and I don't like that chance."

Stewart rumbles to himself for a moment. "We could try to destroy or bury it. It might be useful, but it's also a big target to the empire."

"Well..." Luma shifts uncomfortably and looks to one side. "I think I might be able to put it somewhere where they'd never get it back... but getting it back ourselves wouldn't be much easier."

Stewart stares at Luma for a moment before a grin makes its way onto his face. "Yes... And I don't think I'd mind them finding it there either."

"Do I even want to know where this place is?" Aurora asks warily, absentmindedly adjusting her vest.

Luma grimaces. "I know I don't. Let's just say it's an extraplanar location with a one hundred percent fatality rate among visitors."

"It would be a good place to keep it out of the hands of the Empire, though. And that's my major concern." Stewart grins.
