The party descends the tower, but once they return to the groundfloor courtyard, they hear the abrupt pealing of bells being rung with a sense of urgency. The bullywugs and jarak-sinn in the courtyard look around, confused at first, but then hastily begin mobilizing.
"Well, I think they found those bodies," Jamna's disembodied voice comments.

Eliana easily recalls that the entrance to the underground caverns was in the northwest tower.

"This way," Eliana says, leading the group to the northwest tower.

Eliana leads the way to the northwest tower. However, the party discovers it is now being guarded by half a dozen jarak-sinn.

"Of course," Eliana mutters. They lost Snapjaw to get them through this, so they were either going to have to fight, or Eliana was going to have to convince them to let them through. Considering that they weren't in any condition to fight at the moment, she decides to try to convince them. She switches to draconic to see if they will at least understand that. "We need to get through," she says."

Henry - HP: 44\44 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None
---------------
Well, it was to be expected someone guarding the way to the teleportation circle; still, he doesn't really like the idea of having to fight the Jarak-sinn and truly hoped Eliana would be able to persuade them to let the party pass. Still, he keeps his hand close to the sword just in case there's need of it.

"Borngrey's orders," one of the jarak-sinn replies in Common. "Nobody enters without permission."

"During all of this chaos, this would be the perfect time for your people to rise up against the Bullywugs," Eliana says. "That is what Snapjaw wanted for your people."

Henry - HP: 44\44 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None--------------- The Jarak-sinn speak a common language, so the half-elf chimes in to help Eliana persuade these people to let them pass. "The Bullywugs have no..." Henry starts saying, the squire tries to remember the word Snapjaw had used in their brief talk aboard the canoes "...they have no sakkhra. They have killed your shaman. They have taken away the pride and the hope of your people. And Borngrey has let them do it. " he says, a bit dramatic to make his point to them "And now Borngrey is leaving. Do you believe he'll give you anything for your loyalty? No, he'll leave the Bullywugs in charge."He then places a hand on his own heart, appealing to what he knows they have in common: a sense of honour and fairness "Do you want this for your people? To work hard, be obedient and then be left in the hands of your hated enemy?"{Spoiler}If Eliana has rolled Persuasion, Henry tries to give her advantage. Otherwise I roll Persuasion, maybe with advantage thanks to Eliana?

"Snapjaw work with outsiders, and now Snapjaw dead. Outsiders not care about Snapjaw. Outsiders not care about jarak-sinn," the jarak-sinn retorts to Eliana.
The jarak-sinn hisses at Henry's words. "Lies. Borngrey only Dragon Kneeler who respect jarak-sinn. Teach jarak-sinn metal forging. What proof have Borngrey abandon jarak-sinn?"

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 03/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No " I mean..." - Chantilly says, while scratching a hairy warts she made appear on her chin. - " He did nothing to protect you from the Bullywugs' bullying, neither did he intervene when they killed Suncaller. And it's not like he had to go out of his way to protect you, he just had to order the Bullywugs to leave you alone... Wasn't this the whole point of Snapjaw's attempt at revolution? He wanted you to be free from the Dragon Kneelers' domination. And he died while fighting them, and they had no second thoughts on killing him!" - Chantilly lowers her eyes, her voice shaking with grief. - " Even the forging thing, it's not like it was for your own benefit. He probably just wanted a cheap labor force to replenish the cult's armory."

"She is right." Henry says while waving at Chantilly "Just think about it: has your tribe become any stronger following Borngrey and the Dragon Kneelers?" the squire then points behind him, in the general direction of Rezmir's room "And we heard the Dragon Lady tell Borngrey to prepare to evacuate the castle. Just ask the Jarak-sinn that were with him, they'll tell you what we're telling you: the Dragon Kneelers are leaving and you'll be left behind."

The jarak-sinn appear surprised. "Know of Suncaller? Then would know Borngrey came after Suncaller death."
They discuss matters a bit among themselves, then one says, "Even if what say true, how letting you pass help jarak-sinn?"
