Chapter 89: Whoops 2
Leaving Bianca to consider his warning, Zarian went over to the crafting wagon. He found Hannah sitting on a bench and diligently journaling as she looked intently into Reiki’s dungeon core.
Instead of inquiring about Hannah’s new hobbies, he realized he hadn’t fully informed everyone of the situation at Castle Grimrock. Thinking over that, he made use of his Spectral Spider Network and sent everyone a ping. Once they all responded, he pulled them into his head except for Hannah and talked aloud.
“I got some major news. I haven’t mentioned this yet but I figured now is the right time. During my meeting with the evil gods, I’ve settled disputes through negotiations or the tried-and-true method, violence. Evil Gods Sinfeast and Killall are definitely our enemies. Hisscreep might be an ally and seems to have a close connection to Reiki of the White Silk Dancers. Beyond that, I had a pleasant chat with Shadowfell through her altar.”
Zarian was keeping aware of everyone through his other spectral spiders.
He watched Gilbert jerk in surprise while sitting on his steed. Naomi pushed up from her napping position to a seat in the wagon. Bianca skipped around all excited, her mood rising again. Hannah shifted to the edge of her seat as she placed the dungeon core aside.
He really had their attention now.
“Shadowfell, apparently, is the biggest and most tragic goth goddess girl ever. I like her, though. And she likes me. So we’re friends now. Also, if you had Shadowfell as Ariana on your raffle ticket, you were wrong.”
Bianca let out a string of Spanish that detailed her disappointment. Zarian barely caught half of it without using Identify to translate. He carried on.
“Ariana remains a mystery, but I think Shadowfell is connected with her somehow. She won’t say, but I’m sure of it. Anyway, Shadowfell is pretty nice, if really slothful and messy.”
