"Yes, it is so. The question, of course, remains as to whether there is even a shred of truth to be found amidst such fanciful tales...Most that my eyes have set upon consider it a foolish fancy."
"And yet, if this spot does know rainfall uncharacteristic to these lands, then there is that much truth in the tale. Whether the legend describes the true origins of that anomaly, or it arose from some desertfolk's attempt to explain the mysterious, or some poet's wish to imbue a geographical oddity with a romantic character, does not change that essential fact."
Nurlan pauses, then adds a little more reflection. "Although I suppose to most travellers, the fact of the oasis is much more important than its origin. It is not so with the legends and rumours of necromantic cults. If they do persist in secret operations, then all would do well to be advised of that danger. On the other hand, whether the explanation for this oasis is romantic or prosaic does not really affect its essential character."

... which prompts a question about the future of the game.
Since the first week of June, only two players, plus the DM, have posted at all -- and those only sporadically, usually after long waits. Is this game worth continuing? Do any PCs other than Tor and Nurlan have players still following this thread?

ooc: Even though I've tried to post for Tor, this scene really doesn't offer him much. Perhaps others have avoided posting because this is (at least in my mind) very clearly a bard/dm scene? If you want to close up this game, that's OK with me. I want to cut back on my play by post commitments a bit, and through the lense of 4th edition Banion and Tor are becoming less and less interesting to me as characters. Either one would be orders of magnitude more interesting with encounter and daily powers.

(OOC: If so many people want to call it quits, especially with my new dating stuff, I have less time, so I don't mind. I'll give you guys some time XP and grab some GM credits for what we've done so far and bid you farewell back to Orussus. The Tempest Shard shall remain hidden or perhaps fall to the Cultists. Everyone okay with that?)
I think we can suppose that we travelled around the area, but couldn't get any leads on where to look, and eventually concluded that we were never going to find it.
