Tel turns over a napkin, and starts tallying the votes. He looks up at Vhir a little confused.
"So um...Vhir, which three did you vote for now? You talked about the Mournlands like that's wher eyou really wants to go, but um, then you listed three other places...which do you want?"

Midian has started making small piles of peanuts as the group make their nominations. When Johan makes the last, he lifts his mug to him.
"I'm glad I'm not alone in my reservations, Johan." then his mouth twists up as he notes the only pile of four peanuts. "Unfortunately, our fellows seem to have a decided preference for the Mournland. Though, if I counted right, Xen'Drik, the Demon Wastes, and Riedra come close, just short one nomination apiece."
Midian looks around to the group, offering up the following: "Perhaps we should use that as our guideline, then, and limit our arguments of merit to those four expeditions before making a final vote?"

Tel thinks for a moment about the obvious strong worries about adventuring in the Mournland.
"Well, the other option is fer us each to pick one we definitely don't wanna do. That would leave us three choices to talk 'bout. If we go that way I would nix goin' with that Inspired fella to the land of mind control. Still creeps me out"

"My apologies for not being clear, there are so many places I want to see, it is hard to choose. I feel we should go to the Mournlands to learn more about the Mourning and how it is affecting the beings that still live there. That shall be my first choice. Frostfell and the Demon Wastes will be my other choices."

"Well then, by my tallies, Mournlands wins with four of us listin' it as a possible destination. Xen'Drik and Demon Wastes come in close behind. Ya'll wanna debate the three of those them? We've had two purty big worries lodged about Mournlands, and I see where they is coming from. My personal wish, from those three is Xen'Drik. It's well enough known we'll get good help, but there is enough of it to still leave some unturned stones for us to turn, riches to be had, and new stories for us to star in. I hear many that goes to the Demon Wastes don't come back. I'd like to come home from this one, but I'd be willin' to go along if that's the will of the group."
"It's worth noting that we won't be going alone," Whisper points out dryly.
"All of these destinations have the potential for deadly danger. I am sure the professors are arranging adequete escorts. No one sane would expect a handful of pre-graduates to hold off the horrors of the Mournlands, or the fabled dark elves, or whatever else might threaten. So lets not tiptoe too tremulously at rumors of danger, eh?"
She glances at Boromar and asks, completely out of nowhere, "Not to change the subject, but when you drink, where does it go? Some kind of...container? How much can it hold?"

"True enough, Tel. Any place with 'Demon' in the name is either overcompensating for something, or posting a blatant warning. I'd hate to get in trouble due to underestimating and assuming the former. And my own magics are most likely to prove useful in a jungle than in a wasteland. I vote Xen'Drik, as well."

Vhir sips from a cup of water, declining the available alcoholic beverages. He glances down at the floor as a transparent being takes form and speaks with a voice only he can hear. "I would try to convince you not to go to the mournland if I thought it would do any good. You humanoids seem to have a drive to seek out danger like a moth diving towards a flame." The fox spirit's tail twitches back and forth in a distracting manner.
Furrowing his brow, Vhir responds to the spirit. "It is more than curiosity, Kreelah. We want to do some good. The very land was ripped apart, tainted by magics in the Last War. Our party might be able to put right some of the damage there. I am confident my companions can handle a foray there."
The fox opens her mouth in a laugh. "Not even a shred of humility in the face of devastating powers beyond the understanding of the best scholars. Have you even considered your other options?"
Vhir nods. "Indeed I have, many of the other destinations proposed are more curiousities than anything else to me. Xen'drik's ancient ruins may have many unusual treasures and even more unusual creatures roaming the shores. The other location the group prefers, the Demon Wastes, sounds like a particularly desolate place. I would be interested in seeing what strange beings can survive there."
Kreelah smirks and flicks her ears back. "Many choices, many roads. Yes, this will be an interesting journey." Still laughing she fades from view, her form unraveling like a mist melting before the morning sun.

The man with the probe
"The Demon Wastes are so named I believe because of some sort past battle against the deamons, and if I remember, is where the Gatekeepers tend to reside and defend. I don't expect it to actualy be crawling with demons, and feel it would be a good place to explore."
"However," Johan concedes "It seems I am in the minority. I have grave worries about the mornland, and protection or not, I would worry about the devistating effects it's had on people, and the extreme unknown. Xen'drik doesn't particularly apeal to me, as it seems far to common a place for an expedition, and I was hoping for something a bit different from the norm, but if I had to make a second choise of the remaining three, Xen'drik would be it."
