Chantilly raises her eyebrow at Henry, typical of him to pose such nonsensical questions: "Why wouldn't we be interested in a flying citadel?" - she then turns toward Talia, excitment in her voice: "So, are we talking a city where every building has a pair of wings? A town built upon a flying whale that soars across the skies? Or maybe a place held in the air by a large pink balloon? Tell us more about it!"

"I am, of course, referring to the flying citadels of yore," Talia answers. "One of many artifacts we managed to inherit from the Knights of Takhisis before their decline; one of the few left after the War of the Lance. It's where Rezmir has been taking all of that treasure she's collected, and will be taking off fairly soon. With my help, you can walk right into the citadel without a fight." She says to Henry, "You needn't worry about me and what repercussions I might face for having Rezmir's mask. As long as you deal with her and bring the mask to me, I'll take care of the rest." As far as he can tell, she is honest in her intentions and has no desire to harm or betray them.

"Oh! Those kind of flying citadels!" - well, they were a bit more boring than her own ideas, but she was still intrigued by the magic behind it. - "Well, the plan sounds good. What do you guys think? Especially you, Jamna, since you had more time than us to think about it."

Henry frowns and does not share his own opinion on the plan, certainly not in front of Talia; he instead asks for more details "Where's Rezmir? Does she still have Jos with her? Anything that could be useful to plan a strike." then looks at Chantilly and Eliana "Also, we need to rest."

"It sounds like a good deal to me," Jamna says. "We were following after Rezmir anyway, and you guys have been itching for a fight for awhile, so this lets you kill two birds with one stone."
Talia says, "I assume she went straight to the citadel. She never even stopped to warn me you were coming. Abomination probably hoped you'd get distracted and wipe me out, leaving her free to escape. If it wasn't for your gnomish friend here, I'd never have known she came through the teleportation circle. I have no idea if she had anyone with her, either. But if they went through the circle with her, they certainly aren't here now, so I would assume they accompanied her to the citadel."

"What sort of powers does she have?" Eliana asks. "I assume she is weaker than an actual dragon, but does she have dragon like powers?"

"Rezmir? Abomination she may be, but she is still a dragonspawn," Talia answers. "Meaning she has all of the abilities of a normal dragonspawn. Breath weapon, death throe, and such. She is an accomplished warrior, too. Prefers the great sword in battle."

"If Jos is with her - and I would assume so - he might be quite problematic. He is a Knight of the Thorn, so I would focus on him before trying to take down Rezmir." Henry chimes in, offering his own insight on the battleplan; and since it seems they're about to do the dirty work for this Talia, the squire tries to squeeze as much as possible from her "And Talia. We have been on the road for months. We need to resupply. Do you have gear we could use? Healing salves, potions, armour, weapons."

"They don't exactly keep me well stocked here," Talia says. "You can try the armory, the third door on the left down the hall straight outside. There may be something left in there to salvage. I have a couple of healing potions stashed away in the parlor, the room directly beneath us."

"Can we take the magic tapestry down there too? And what exactly does it do?" - Chantilly asks with an angelic voice.

"I've seen some suits of armour downstairs, I'm familiar with the craftmanship. Aren't they battle-ready?" Henry asks, not that keen in wearing elven armour but given the alleged prowess in battle of his enemy he needs all the help he could get.

Talia raises a brow at Chantilly. "You want to lug a 50 pound tapestry around with you, feel free. It's not magical, though. The magic is in the room itself. Remove the tapestry, and it's just an expensive rug. All it does is tell you where nearby game can be found. This was originally a hunting lodge, after all."
She chuckles at Henry. "I wouldn't. I was told when I first arrived to never touch the armors on display downstairs. They were all cursed or trapped or something. So I've always given them a wide berth, personally. But feel free to try your luck, if you want. Don't say I didn't warn you, though."

"Why would they display cursed armor here?" Eliana asks. "And we will have to deal with a breath weapon, which would probably be acid," she says, thinking mostly to herself.

Talia shrugs. "I assume it's to deter would-be thieves and vandals. But it was all set up long before I arrived here, so I couldn't tell you."

Henry groans and rolls his eyes, would've been too good to finally find something akin to Knight armour out here. Whining about it wouldn't do much good though, so he just sighs and says "Well, I don't have anything more to say right now. We should rest now so we could leave as soon as possible."
