He raised up a hand, grinning whilst waiting for Grok to come back with the drinks before beginning.
There was a smacking of lips as fresh wine was tasted, enjoying it, another drawn out moment of silence as a little bit of mischievousness caused him to milk the part before beginning just to mess with the gabbering goblin.
"Well. To begin, I was searching for knowledge within the Tumbay Jungle, old leads. I was being assisted by a group that, let me clear, were not pirates I'd made friends with on the journey there. They were very clear about that. Anyway, one of their members apparently was the second son or so of one of the city's rulers, Peraki and his father did not approve of firstly that, his son had abandoned the clergy. Secondly had joined a group of mercenaries-not-pirates. Thirdly, his son being in an open relationship with some Urkadi without a hint of nobility whilst abandoning a prestigious marriage he'd set up. So, lot of tension there between parent and son. Anyway."
Some wine sipped again.
"He got jumped by some thugs his father had sent out to get him whilst we were in the region, having apparently kept a better eye out for our friend's return than we'd expected. Things got a little... chaotic in retaliation. We grouped up with this rather mad group of cultists involved in some kind of religious schism in Peraki, really had beef with the father. Lot of chaos going off, violence, magic, explosions. The pir-, not-pirates, -weren't really the best at foreseeing the results of their plans. We had to fight our way through some house guards and these strange... I don't know what they were. Far too damp and tentacley for my liking, touching their minds was gross. Still. We busted out lover-boy from his room and, well, everything after that wasn't really the groups problem? I'm not in a hurry to go back there admittedly but there was some reshuffling of the nobility after that. Apparently abominations aren't totally a-okay to have in your basement even if you're a noble, who knew? Honestly the make-out sessions between our guide and prince were more concerning than anything else, took weeks to get to my location." Rolling his eyes after that.
