"I don't know," Goddard whispers back. He stumbles to the door and leans up against it.

"H-Hey...is...is that squawking bastard with you? If he's not there...then I'll let you in," Goddard chuckles. "I...I don't want him in here... squawking and stuff..."

The Sulphur River

Goddard can see the shore not too far out and he shudders. Naggaroth...again. I've come back much too soon.
The Elthrai travels along the Forbidding Coast before they reach the Sulphur river. The ship pulls into the river delta to wait until the Autarii send a message back regarding the sister of the high elves. While they wait, Zorgrat and Theo figure gathering the wood from the forest and the sulfur from the banks, would make for excellent trade and get them a good bit of gold.

Goddard remains on the ship long after everyone else gets off. He's not quite ready to step foot on Naggaroth again.

"We're home," Sarith whispers. "And it looksssss assss cold and asssss harsssssh asssss ever..."

Ghost Boat

Goddard takes the crown off his head thoughtfully for the second time.

"This will be extremely helpful," he whispers to himself. He winds up the nauglir and makes sure it's closed tight before he puts the crown on his belt and heads for the door.

"No one is allowed in here while I'm away," he says to specters he cannot see but knows are there. "Except le...Aara."

A breathy whisper answers back, "Yes my lord."

Goddard heads out onto the deck and sighs. He's not looking forward to going back to Naggaroth. Especially not so soon.

"Hey I was looking at that...all those pretty words and no pictures," he chuckles, lazily reaching for the book.

"Actual dancing? Not with a sword or anything? So...you want to be embarrassed by taking me to dance? Or embarrass me? I don't know if i like this..."

-

Goddard raises a brow. "What else can you see?" he asks as if he knows the answer and is afraid he's right.

Otto bows and sighs. "No...please if you need anything let me know. I did poof your brother here...and I feel horrible that we cannot help your sister until we get the help of the celestial wizards.

"My situation?" Otto asks curiously and looks at his guest expectantly.

Goddard takes a sip of wine and sits quietly. High elves are strange...
