    "If you are," interjects Khwaja Malak, speaking with a cadence that draws halfway between threatening and dramatic, with a lingering pause afterwards, "then perhaps it is right that he is blessed by the Great Devourer to lead. But if you tell me that the Carrion King does not conjure fear among his lessers, then would you still follow him? My companion speaks a-right by mentioning from the left. We are tradesmen, humble and poor. But as you can see we bring no mules and carts and wagons and camels like our weak, pink cousins huddled together in their thatch cities by the water. We trade in blood and death, and we hear there is a profit to be had in the hills, for there are portents of strange things. Desires dark, and deeds darker. But we are battle-brothers each with our own skill - stealth, steel, spell - and we are curious to know....

    "... so close to the House of the Beast, you work of the Carrion King, yes? Does he honor his bargains or is he wasteful and kill his own when annoyed? Our trade requires trust with an employer. How is he to you?"

    Grumdoch nods. "He is a rude neighbor, to be sure. I doubt you'll get far in his court, however, considering recent events. You see, Rovokah, his Keeper of Secrets, has been replaced by an imposter. I accosted him, but before I could get proof, he called a council with him and got in his ear and they banished us here."

    "Grundmoch, have you heard reports of an inquisitor-infiltrator sent by Lamashtu to bring 'Her wayward pups' back into her fetid fold? Is it possible that He Who Waits Below's champion is being given honeyed whispers from the Bitch Queen?"

    Grundmoch nods at Malak's words. "Exactly. I don't know what this thing that took form in his court is, but it does not bode well for us." He then nods again, as though coming to a conclusion. "I can't help you if you decide to take him on, but you are welcome to rest here if you need to."

    "I am Malak, and these are Malak's Malcontents. Riqi [Alssariq] ... Kash [Akaash] ... Rafe [Rafiq] ... Gom [Gomah] ... and Rowan. We'll take your hospitality for a place to stay while we investigate. I think we can make sure that we can trim the weeds and keep the Carrion King on the glorious path of destruction Rovagug has promised for him ... and us."

    I would like to move to whatever place Grundmoch has for us. Since he doesn't want to be bothered, the outer areas of where we'll be will be guarded, but I think we'll be otherwise okay to wait to chat amongst ourselves quietly until we're there.

    Once seperated form their hosts, Akaash scowls. He speaks quietly to his allies, "An outpost manned by disfavored malcontents. I was hoping to find a place of import, but I suppose we must content ourselves with information."

    "Riqi" shrugs. "Actually, this gives us the latitude we need to do what we came to do. Even gives us a stamp of approval. If we were actually integrated with them somehow - which my nose could not deal with - I think that would slow us down and might give greater opportunity to be discovered over time."

    Looking a little miffed that Malak had so thoroughly stolen his thunder, Alssariq backs off to watch quietly. On the way to their new lodgings, he adopts that 'looking at everything and nothing' stare distinct to anyone waiting for the arm of the local law to come crashing down. While they're talking, his eyes never stop roaming. "So what now? Leave and explore a bit? I could sleepwalk past these guards, even if it's probably not necessary. Ask for the tour? Also, you're nose? Even after days on the trail I can smell the perfume on you - if anyone asks, you're returning from either a plague-ward or a harem."

    Akaash nods, spreading his pack for the rest. Reasonable. Give us enough time to get a sense to things around here, maybe spot patrol and guard change times in the other buildings, if they bother."

    Alssariq nods. "I regret to say that, though I am skilled, I am human. I can't see in the dark. I will happily take first watch, while there is still light enough to see. In the meantime, I think I'll go exploring."

    Akaash nods, placing his hand on the shield. The room's air whips around him in a miniature cyclone carrying dust and loose debris with it. The air tightens its spiral, focusing itself then traveling down his arm and into the shield.

    Rowan

    "Well I haven't drained any of my magical power today, so I can take any watch. Maybe in the dead of night to take advantage of my vision?" Rowan says, "Though I am still not sure why we have decided to camp in the lions den as it were. Tomorrow will likely see everything sorted though so I can wait."

    Rowan has a particularly bloodthirsty glint in his eye as he says that last sentence.

    Riq doesn't find much in the trogolodyte building; there's not much in the area that you're allowed to visit, and the areas you aren't allowed to visit are either their shrine, their hatchery and their leader's room, so visiting them while you are guests seems unwise.

    After getting up and ready to set out, you decide to hit the perimiter before going to the main building. In the northwest, two small minarets guard the entrance of a low stone structure topped with the ruins of a small dome. Centuries of mountain winds have sand-blasted the western faces of the minarets to a smooth, polished fiish, while the eastern sides facing the temple walls still bear illegible traces of ancient icons and calligraphy.

    Akaash doesn't find anything of note upwards, and Riq notes that the stairs are barricaded very crudely; whatever made these defenses was either in an incredible hurry and/or lacked the tools to do it properly.
