[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 3062829, member: 34958"] Alexander [sblock] Syra hangs onto your every word, her eyes growing wide when you speak of the more trying times in your last adventure. When you ask her what she has been doing, she explains, “Nothing so exciting, Alexander. I’ve been handling more of father’s responsibilities since he’s been more ill of late.” Her face drops for a moment in concern for him. “I’m sure he’ll be fine, but I’d rather spend my time riding then meeting with all these self-important officials all the time,” she says with a laugh. She has changed, you realize, and walks with more confidence. She has done well for herself in Cal’s absence. The rest of your days pass happily despite the danger to come, and you train yourself in order to prepare. You do notice Dartis admiring Syra from afar, and you wonder what his own thoughts on her are. On your last day of preparation, Syra sneaks her hand to hold yours in the rare moments when Lady Huffring isn’t watching. [/sblock] Silas [sblock] You visit the other wizard in his cottage later on. Hector doesn’t seem pleased with Fineas’ request, and he defensively says, “I don’t know why he went to you. I was an adventurer once, too, you know.” He turns red after he says this, embarrassment on his face as he realizes how juvenile he sounds. Hector seems even more embarrassed after you offer him the spellbook. He smoothes his robe with sweaty palms, and takes the book from you, visibly relaxing as he flips through it. He gets excited from what he’s seen in the book, and is visibly pleased, giving you five scrolls for it and 300 gold, which is most of his current money. [sblock] [i]Alter Self, Resist Energy, Magic Missile, Sleep, Detect Thoughts[/i] [/sblock] “Well, it’s in kobold, but I can probably go to our new neighbors and ask them for help deciphering anything I have trouble with. As for Fineas… I suppose two instructors won’t hurt for a new student. Alright, I’ll have him come to you to help out,” Hector says, then roughly shakes your hand. Fineas works hard for you during the next week, and assists you in your magical research. He seems a sharp and obedient student, and you feel he has promise. The rest of your days pass happily despite the danger to come, and you train yourself in order to prepare. [/sblock] Dartis [sblock] It’s not easy for you to find a new cloak, since they were specially made for the military and most of the riders took off with them with Cal. With the men missing, their families are loath to part with them. When Kyle Radnal hears about your search for a new cavalry cloak, he comes up with an old one for you from a source unknown. “I heard you needed one,” he says, handing you an old, but serviceable cloak. Radnal holds onto it for an extra moment when you reach out and take it, asking of you, “Wear it well.” It was fitted for a bigger man, but still is comfortable around your shoulders. As you talk to the people, you notice that Syra and Alexander speaking to each other on walks during a couple of occasions and wonder about their relationship. The rest of your days pass happily despite the danger to come, and you train yourself in order to prepare. [/sblock] Kel [sblock] Silas of the elves frowns as you speak. Suddenly, he throws his glass of wine into the nearby fireplace and spins to face you, his cheeks flushed red with anger. “Be careful what you say, Kel!” He puts a finger in your face, and for a moment you see his human quarter of his blood in his rage. His face smoothes once more, although the agitation is there. He slumps into his chair and says softly, “Kel, be careful what you say.

Dartis is given a strong, white charger as a steed. Alexander, Silas, and Kel are also given adequate horses to ride. Rix is given the small mule that is holding your supply of a month’s worth of food for the party. The kobold also sometimes rides with Alexander, and the two speak often, but normally they trade barbed words in a somewhat joking manner. Over a hundred men march behind you, carrying packs of their own food (two weeks worth each) and improvised weapons, mostly bows and hunting knives. They were gathered by the combined efforts of Dartis and Alexander and follow you to rescue their kin. Most have little experience in combat, and Kyle Radnal keeps Radnal's Ruffians home to protect the families. Now you must determine which way to go, the direct week-long journey that takes you through more arid plains close to the mountains, or the lush river journey that arches like a crescent, but takes about 12 days to travel.
