[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 1355933, member: 4441"] *Dessa nods to Kelarakray briefly as she stands.* "Come on, let's go take a look at the better maps and I can fill everyone in on the details," Dessa says, exiting the tent. *Quickly she walks over to one of the larger tents, lit inside with magical glowglobes in order to reduce danger to the maps.
