[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6756032, member: 9255"] JOHN PLAY “11 PLAY REVISITED” SEGMENT 136 “SCRATCH MY BACK…..” ORALUNE 1, 998 “Agent Nadia….. what a surprise.” Says Play… honestly surprised. “It was obvious after our last conversation, you were going to resolve this however you could. I knew it was just a matter of time before you came to Orcbone to look around.” “Play, ever a wild card…” greets the Commander with little enthusiasm or happiness. “I hope you are not here to stop me from learning what happened to my mother. That is a conflict I would rather avoid.” Says Play as he walks in and sits in a chair near the table layout of the valley Orcbone overlooks. “Mutual.

It is obvious he considers it a waste of his time but doesn’t want to irritate the Lanterns. Well, at least Nadia. “Very well, but FIRST, first we investigate the rumors of the gnolls reforming Venom.” Plays agrees but looks to Nadia.
