"The guards and golems are reporting that the slis are disoriented! Any able bodied dwarf is to join the extermination in the living quarters and side tunnels!" One dwarf burst in to the dical area and shouted. Many of the injured that only had minor injuries moved to their feet and rushed out.
"My party must have found the colorless sli that had been controlling them. They should arrive soon. Do you think you can handle things? I will assist in preparing from more injured who co back from fighting the disorganized slis." Su had realized instantly that there would be newly injured in a short while.
"Of course. You have been a savior here so far. You may not have a nurse system or a surgeon system but you are sure to be rembered as one here." One of the dwarven doctors Su had been assisting for the last few hours was already reliant on her. He had found Su was there with every tool or bandaging material needed.
There was a loud movent as one of the royal guards rushed in, "I am looking for the two hero party mbers!" The royal guard had been shouting this through most of the dical area since the king of the middle had ordered him to find them as soon as possible.
"Yes, is everything alright?" Su knew that if anything happened Walker would have contacted her and Onyx as soon as possible.
"The king requires your presence as soon as possible. There have been developnts that would require your presence." Su had a feeling that this was directly related to the slis change in behavior and was a little more relaxed to hear that there wasn't an ongoing ergency.
"Please lead the way." Su made sure Onyx was firmly on her shoulder and headed out of the dical area. She still wanted to help with the many that were suffering from the slis acid burns but she knew that those working on the tasks now were the best the dwarves had to offer.
She followed the royal guard out of the dical area and back to the main section of the building where the king had returned and was checking various orbs that gave him sight in to what the golems were doing. "Good, you made it back. I received a report that your fellow heroes were returning. They are also returning with the king of the deep caves who has called a eting of the three kings. That cave rat never calls etings so it should be important."
Su could only think that Walker had found sothing incredibly important and convinced the king of the deep caves. However, as she began to formulate her response she saw the party chat function flash and give her a ssage from Walker. She quickly read it and understood what had happened along with a few details.
"My party is returning since they were able to defeat the sli controlling the yellow acidic slis. Rey also has joined with the dwarven fire fighters to create a way to consistently battle the slis. However, I recomnd that so are detained to be materials for alchemy potions since they will help imnsely." Su knew giving this information to the king would put her in his good graces even further.
"That sounds like a very good idea for our rchant district to make new alchemists our acquaintances." The king was glad that the hero would share this with him. It was a gift that he could use to rebuild many damaged parts of the rchant district and the entire city. It would generate a massive amount of gold from other kingdoms.
"The king of the surface will be down here shortly. We will et at the table of diamond and have our eting. I have received a quest to prepare the room and listen to your words first." This was a slight surprise for Su and she began to believe that there was the kings' ploy to get information before the other kings.
"I can request a few things but you already know the overall goal of the party. We want you to join the Genesis alliance and make ands with the elves through any ans necessary. That would be the ideal situation for everyone." Su didn't even flinch after realizing that the king wanted to have the leg up on the other two kings. However, only she knew that Walker and the king of the deep cave had a world approved deal.
"Then follow . They will arrive within the hour." The king moved toward a wall and lightly tapped his hamr upon it. The wall started to click and groan as it opened up to reveal a normal entry way.
"See I knew you would be trying to steal away one of the heroes. If I had not had one of my golems carry down at the fastest speed I would be left in the dust. Where is that miner? He called a eting interruption my new patrol plans. I have slis to destroy on the surface." The king of the surface arrived at the sa mont catching the king of the middle in the act.
"Of course you rushed here. Well, he's not here and neither are the other heroes. We don't know why the eting is called and the sli sare in disarray now. Apparently, their controller is defeated. Now we can et. Hurry in." The look of annoyance from the king of the middle was clear. It was easy to tell that the three kings governed different parts of the city for a reason.
"I knew gambling on your party was with it. You have so respect. But if this eting is not worth the ti I lose I will have to ban you from the entry to the city." The king of the surface said this in a monotone voice.
"You ban so many from the city every year. How do you even keep track." Su had the feeling that this was going to be the normal bickering from the kings for the entirety of the eting.
