Taz has changed his mind and apparently now he wants us to go try to start up the portals. He only knows where three of the five portals are, but he's helpfully marked them on a map for us. Oh, also, he doesn't know how to activate them, so the plan appears to be for us to go to a portal and hope that there's some kind of instructions carved into it. This will probably work out fine.
We're spending the day selling all the items we have and Shintauro is using my diplomacy abilities to get us the best prices on things. I was doing fine for a while then I got distracted thinking about soup and lost us 25 gold on one transaction. They all glared at me for a second until Frazzle pointed out that we were still up about 200 gold thanks to my bargaining skills. I like that warforged. He's smart.
Skumz, the guy fencing all our, uh...found property, tells us Taz is crazy and that we should have nothing to do with going to try to start these portals up. He claims the Skylords will kill us and eat us, or hang us on their walls or something. He tells us he has a better plan in mind, which is for us to go to human cities and rob them. He even has a map of some mansion owned by a banker in a nearby city. He's willing to cut us a deal for all the stuff we bring back.
We have to decide what we're going to do. We head back to Taz and he gives us a book that teaches us how to pilot the airship since the pilot refuses to go with us (he was a jerk when we first met him, so I'm not surprised). Frazzle opts to learn piloting and we don't argue with him. We spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how far we can go in a day, and then we head off.
Despite our offer from Skumz we head towards the first portal. I figure the best thing to do is a flyby, see how well guarded it is. If it's heavily guarded maybe we'll go be pirates and steal things from the humans. If it looks relatively safe we'll check the portal.
And now we're flying...
