Maitimo's brothers ask what happened. He gives a detailed description of everything since his apparent rescue. He explains her magic at length. They're very excited about it. They discuss ten different ways this could be a trap.

Permalink

And she continues watching, getting a feel for their personalities.

Permalink

Eventually they say that they want to see Maitimo, and will designate a location sufficiently distant from the camp where he can be teleported in, verified to exist in the flesh and not in fact be somewhere in Angband, and then teleported out.

Permalink

She doesn't know what they're saying unless he tells her, of course.

Permalink

He conveys this. I'll do it. I can't see how it'd be informative to the Enemy.

Permalink

Okay. I'll need to go see the place.

Permalink

I think there's less risk you'll get shot at this time.

Permalink

Good.

Permalink

And maybe they'll introduce themselves.

Permalink

Mmhmm. I should be able to ask whoever's showing me, at least, if it's one of them. Or maybe they'll want to talk to me afterward.

Did they say how long it'll take for them to be ready?

Permalink

Whenever we are.

Permalink

Okay. Shouldn't keep them waiting, then. Warn them I'm going to teleport back to the tower?

Permalink

So he tells them she's coming back through. Tyelcormo offers to walk with her to find a spot. 

One of them will go with you, he says.

Permalink

Good, and she grins.

She appears a little ways away from the gathered brothers. Hello again.

Permalink

Hello. Tyelcormo is going to walk with you to somewhere out of sight of the camp, by Maitimo's preference, and you can set up your portal there.

Permalink

This'll be a direct teleport, not a portal, since they can't walk yet. But yes, thank you.

Permalink

How long ago did you pull him out?

Permalink

I haven't been keeping count - somewhere between five and ten days, closer to ten?

Permalink

And he's been trying to heal himself?

Permalink

Yeah. Focusing on their hands, mostly, they were planning to send me with a letter.

Permalink

Maitimo. 

Wish he'd just come home.

Permalink

Yeah. Sigh. They told you why not, right?

Permalink

Yeah, he's pretty sure this is the Enemy toying with him. I'm pretty sure of that too. Still wish he'd come home.

Permalink

Nod. I'm sorry.

Permalink

Thanks, if you're not, y'know, one of the people torturing my brother.
