"I suppose so..," Jamna says, seemingly convinced for now, at least. "I wouldn't turn my back on her, though. Either of them, for that matter."

Before Eliana slips off to get some sleep, she listens to a little of Henry's and Jamna's conversation. She says in hushed tones. "If we slit her throat in front of Snapjaw, I doubt he would be willing to help us," she points out. "And he isn't stupid enough not to realize what would be going on if we dragged her off to kill her, so my suggestion would be to just leave her here when we leave for the castle. By now, the cultists have probably figured out that we are on our way here anyway."

"I agree. As I said earlier, I do not trust them." the squire whispers back to Jamna while nodding in agreement, carefully keeping for himself that lack of trust is not good enough of a reason to kill anyone. Then Eliana chimes in and Henry chuckles and shrugs again "Well, guess we're all on the same page."

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 18/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No As the others scheme, Chantilly enlists Snapjaw's help to gather some fruits and herbs from the surrounding area before starting to cook them. " So, Snappy. - Can I call you Snappy? - Tell me more about what's happening back at the castle. How do the dragon kneelers treat your kind? Will the dragon be mad if we go against them and the Bullywug? And how big is this Dragon?" - the half-kender asks him, while she pulls a ladle full of roasted herbs and nuts from the pot she was cooking into, before adding some fresh cranberries on it. " Here, have a taste and tell me if you like it." - she says, after blowing on it to cool it a bit.

"Snapjaw," Snapjaw corrects. "Dragon Kneelers treat Jarak-sinn well. Led by Elf, except when Dragon Lady is around. Pays us with metal weapons."
He adds, "Black Death make deal with Dragon Kneelers, but not Bullywugs. Bullywugs fear Black Death. Bullywugs serve Black Death out of fear. Not sure how Black Death feel about Bullywugs."
Further, he adds, "Black Death big. As long as...ten spears, maybe. Not including tail." He sniffs at the food and makes a face. "No meat?"

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 18/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No Chantilly looks slightly offended by Snapjaw's last remark, she rolls her eyes but eventually takes from her pocket a few strips of beef jerky: " Here, I think Z. lost it somewhere and I had the intention to give them back to him, but I doubt he'd mind, right Z.?" - she says as she gives them to the Jarak-sinn. - " Be nice, and share them with your friend." " Do you know what kind of deal the dragon kneelers made with Black Death? It must have been something big to interest a dragon like him." - she says, thinking about all the possibilities. Maybe they offered him a whole room full of candied lemons, oh how she had missed them so.

"I would assume it would have something to do with those black eggs we found," Eliana says to Chantilly. "Those eggs might have belonged to Black Death."

"Not know," Snapjaw replies. "Black Death not share plans with Jarak-sinn." He looks to Eliana. "Black Death have no eggs. Is male."

Henry nods to Jamna after their conversation and since Eliana and Chantilly are talking to Snapjaw, he makes himself useful by taking care of the prisoner - the squire brings the Jarak-sinn in one of the huts, removes her bindings and provides her with food and water; he then waits for the prisoner to eat her fill while standing watch, hand on the sword so that the Jarak-sinn might understand the underlying message even if she doesn't speak his language.

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 18/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No Chantilly keeps chatting with Snapjaw to know him better, and offers the rest of the food she cooked to the others. When Henry'll come back from the hut, she'll be ready to go to sleep.

The party eats, rests and gets some sleep. When morning arrives, they get up, break down their camp, and prepare to move on.
==============
It is now Fleurgreen 25th at Fourth Watch. Everyone's HP is restored to full, all spells and dailies are restored. Prepared spells can be swapped out.

Henry leaves two days worth of food to the Jarak-sinn they're leaving behind, then waits until they're all aboard the boats before talking to Snapjaw "Now it would be a good time to know more about the castle." he says to the new (hopefully) ally "First thing, you have to guide us through the swamp. Then, do you know a way to approach the castle unnoticed?" the squire looks around the dreadful marshland they're traversing "What kind of defenses we have to expect? And do you believe your people are going to stand down if you talk to them?" that said, he sighs ruefully since he's going to ask about a topic that seems to irk the half-elf and his next words are full of contempt "Lastly, tell us more about this elf. Who they are, what kind of powers they wield, where we could find them."

"Could try to sneak in, but would not get far," Snapjaw says. "But no need to. As long as with Snapjaw, most Jarak-sinn and Bullywugs will think you are Dragon Kneelers. Might not fool actual Dragon Kneelers if run into them, though. Elf is...elf. Can't say elf name. But know elf Common name. Called 'Borngrey.' Borngrey have one eye. Knows much about shaping metal. Try to teach Jarak-sinn. But...Jarak-sinn not learn well. Is early still, so Borngrey probably still in room on second floor. Won't stay there for long."

Eliana inspects the canoes to see how many people they can fit while the others try to get more information. "Shaping metal?" she asks. "Are they making something in this castle?" she asks.
