Update on that in-game rescue mission in Orkinya: Rino and Ath decided to sneak back into the country carrying a scroll of teleport (enchanted so that it doesn't look magic), hoping to overhear or otherwise stumble upon information leading them to Emgeri and Perk.
. . . What? It's really hard to come up with a viable plan for acquiring information when a) talking to people and b) using magic are both off the table.
As could be expected, even if it had been that easy, we managed to make it harder for ourselves anyway, and have now split the party into four pieces. The only people still together are Rino and the dog. Current statuses:
Ath: In an Orkinyan work-gang, eating lunch, and claiming that he had been in a different work-gang, ran off, thought better of it, and then hadn't dared go back directly. (In hindsight, asking Rino exactly what went wrong and then avoiding the location it happened in might have been a good idea.)
It's totally part of the plan, right?
The bit where his new buddy* Truthfulness implied that everyone else on the work-gang will get in trouble if (when) he runs off isn't going to stop him when the time comes, but it will make him feel bad about it.
Emgeri: Presumably in another work-gang somewhere else. We haven't seen him since we scried for him before going back into Orkinya.
Perk: In Orkinyan elementary school. Learning all about prayers (yes, she is our cleric and totally knows about prayers already) and how plants grow if you water them. Has acquired a serious reputation for overnight mischief, what with having tried to burn down her bedroom in an attempt to escape.
Rino: Hiding out outside a town waiting for Ath to get back from attempting to make contact with the people in the work-gang. May possibly have gotten noticed when eavesdropping yesterday and decided the correct action to take was throwing another thunderstone and running for it . . .
Sombra: Hiding out with Rino.
*That is, the guy who introduced himself at lunch. He appears to be from the same part of the world as Ath, and also seems pretty fervently Orkinyan. But he didn't say anything about the rosemary in the breakfast porridge.
