Hard as Mountains told you pretty much everything she had to tell you and, as long as you can convince her that you are after the Widow, she will follow you.
Let me know your ideas so that I can prepare the next Scene.
Hmm. What do we really have to go on? She may have taken them. Tupesh is the only guy who escaped us, though it's a bit late to start following him. We don't really habe a trail to follow at the moment.
If there's no trace of the Widow's trail from where we are, Flicker will lobby to visit the "city of lizardy people", obviously, and see what they know about, er, Beatrice.
While traveling, she will ask Hard as Mountains friendly questions about how she first met her mate, and so forth.
Also, guys, I take it as a compliment that you are getting so paranoid about Agatha's traps, but for the sake of the game I can tall you that the only real threat there is the poison.
If you want to enter the manse, you just have to remove the rock, each of you has at least a couple of ways to do it.
If you want to go the fireworks way, there is no collection of fragile crystals inside, just don't start blasting beyond the door.
hehe, I think at this point we just need to do some rock climbing, which with wound penalties could be pretty crazy on its own.. good thing we grabbed that rope >.> <.<
