Everyone there will assume you're working for their enemies. Please be careful.

I'm barely going to be there long enough for anyone to notice me, even out in the open; I should be fine. Unless even that might cause problems? I can wait or something if there's reason to think that'd help.

No, that should be safe.

What do you want me to do if you don't come back?

I don't think that's really a risk, here; I got back fine last time. But I can wait until you're well enough to move around, I'll just have to be careful not to forget your world's signature... The idea here is that I'll go, get the signature, and cast a spell on myself to bring me back there whenever I want to go; then even if I forget the signature I can use the spell to go back and get it again.

All right. Good skill.

She sends a reassuring hug, without the hug part, and then she goes.

Coastline. It's deserted. It's rocky. There's driftwood littering the beach. There's a mountain range; she can't see very far in any direction except out across the ocean.

She looks around briefly, trances to get the spot's location, and then teleports right back. All told, she's gone maybe five or six seconds.

I'm glad you're back safe, he says. Pretty much sincerely. He's not experiencing gladness but it really is good.

She grins. She's not sure she should believe that, but it's tempting, and she's a pretty good actress regardless. Thanks. It wasn't dangerous anyway; deserted, as far as I could tell.

I don't think anyone would settle on the coast, no. Hmmm. I should get my other fingers sorted, at least on this hand, and then I can write a letter.

All right. No rush, I'm not sure how I'm going to find them if you've told me all you're willing to, it'll probably take a while.

The Enemy knows where they are, I can tell you where their camp is. I'm just worried they'll assume you're working for him and attack you, or alternately that you are in fact working for him and if I give you a letter good enough to convince them to trust you, you'll use that to hurt them.

She nods and thinks.

This is definitely not the best idea, but... the Enemy can only do hallucinations to people in Angband, right? Or something like that, not just to whoever they want to? I could make a portal, show them that you're free. I'll still have to get close enough to talk to them in the first place, though. And maybe learn enough of your language first, do they all have the telepathy?

Everyone has osanwe, yes. You could get them a portal and show them I'm fine, but you'd have to get close enough to talk, and I'm guessing you'll panic if they take you prisoner, which they wouldn't do gently.

Depends on exactly how they'd do it, but, yeah, not unlikely if I tried to play along. How do you think they'd react if I just teleported away and tried again, if I warned them I was going to do that?

That'd probably get them curious enough to talk to you, but it's also possible they'd try to kill you.

I can probably stop them from killing me if I'm careful about it, but that still ends up with us not able to talk to them, probably. And if there's something I could do to show them I'm friendly you shouldn't tell me.

Exactly. There is, they're very good people. But I don't want to help you earn their trust, not in a way that will work if I'm still in Enemy custody.

Nod.

Maybe if I make the portal somewhere outside where they are and stay with it and wait for them to find me... it might be tricky to do that in a way that doesn't look like a trap and doesn't leave me waiting forever, but it might not be, I'd have to know more about the area.

There's a lake. You could open it in the middle of the lake? Or, if you can do it from this end, you could open one that let them see me from the edge of their camp, and I could explain.

...I wouldn't expect them to be able to see it in the middle of a lake, not usefully. Plus I need something stable to cast the spell on, I can't do them in midair. I can open a portal from here to there, but that still has the problem of getting them to come close enough to hear you.

If you put it somewhere near their camp, I'm sure they'll notice it and come. Our host is very large, there are a lot of people who could notice it. Why wouldn't they be able to see it in the middle of the lake?

...lakes are big?

It's not that big. 

We might have better vision than you?
