Defeat
Despite the ongoing danger, there was a taste of victory in the air as half the party went to the Temple of the Five to address the gods on their success of chopping off one of the many heads of the hydra that is slavery in Mytros.
Braz played out the scene where the unequivocal proof of the involvement from the right-hand man of the King led to a midnight argument and a public exiling of the tyrant.
But the wise Queen's guards blocked progress and made it clear that these things needed to be resolved through the proper channels.
The proper channels would take weeks. Weeks of grandees sat on plump pillows whilst others lingered in their own excrement in cages. But such is the way of this city.
It became obvious to Braz that the powerful of this city had not ignored or condoned slavery - they were just powerless to change anything.
Braz left the fruitless meeting with the Amazons and headed back to his bed. He thought he was recognised by the members of the Church of Sydon as he left but he didn't care. If anything he was proud that they should know that someone would stand against them.
Alke was so kind in making sure he got through the streets safely, but on return to the inn Braz was not the best company. Even when woken up to be told of the worry others had for his friends, he was distant.
Those who claimed power in this city had nothing for him. Perhaps those who were believed to be weak would show him the answer to the question.
How do you kill a God?
