As the caravan continues to travel, Britta will discuss the proposal with Cormorant. If he is unwilling to remain with her, she will not stay, but time is not pressing and a decision does not need to be made immediately. The lighter pine will be given to the cook and its use explained, if the...

Plumeir nods his head to himself and then says to Taylar in Maldrog, "Er wirkt wirklich freundlich, aber keine Notwendigkeit, Risiken einzugehen. Ich werde mich nach rechts bewegen," which is to say, "He seems genuinely friendly but no need to take chances. I will move right." Plumeir follows...

Britta acknowledges Mishka. “I worked with Maeli, the herbalist in South Road Fair. Let me see if I can find any herbs. I will help.” Whether she finds any beneficial herbs or not, she will pretend that she has, so that the caravaners will not know that she is a Bender. Siofrita and Sprthnt...

Plumeir could not agree more, with the logic conveyed in the gesture. He has no desire nor can he see any reason to bother the bears. Later, he responds to Taylar, "Our kidnappers seem to have more knowledge of the area than any of our communities. I think they stuck with the main path, anyway...

Plumeir will help Taylar carry the canoe out of the grove and into the conifers, also collecting branches to conceal its location. "What little we are discovering agrees with what we have been told: our kidnappers have come from the north. I have never been this far. I have no idea what we may...

Despite their incurred injuries, except Britta who is unharmed, everyone feels confident in their current mode of engagement, though Antapkos, who no longer has a javelin, must switch to melee combat. Siofrita and Sprthnt will choose targets closer to the main caravan encroaching upon them if...

Quickly realizing that the ambushed was planned in two stages and that the caravan guards are, now, seriously outnumbered, Antapkos, Siofrita, and Sprthnt must contend with the dilemma of looking after their friends and protecting those who cannot defend themselves. Only the nature of the...

Plumeir decides to prepare an evening meal, trusting his new friends to their individual tasks. He is confident in their skill and in his preliminary findings. "Whatever the final decision on whoever made this campsite, I agree that we should take our rest tonight and begin fresh in the morning.”51

Astrid stands to her full height and shrugs her shoulders. "I am at a loss for understanding." She asks of everyone and no one in particular, "Do you want to deface this circle to see if it will prevent further incidents like allowing some diabolic creature to arrive here?"75

“Going left!” Antapkos will increase his speed from a walk to a run, toward his left, which would be the right flank of the enemy line. Siofrita and Sprthnt move to the right edge of the roadway, so that their friends will not be in their line of fire. Siofrita will, first, fire from medium...

Plumeir helps pull the canoe from the water, then make camp. "If our culprits truly did come this way, this is a compelling place to make camp." Afterward, he tries some fishing, though he has no spear or net, to try to provide some fresh meat for the evening.62

Being separated as was their strategy, Belaria and Jay each whirl a stone at a separate otter. Though their skill is yet meager, each generates a node for mechanical waylines in each stone, in hopes of adding sonic damage. Belaria has no particular faith or practice and simply relies on her own...

Plumeir responds to Taylar. "Whoever we are chasing is using the Drenching Season to their advantage. All of this rain is obscuring the main evidence of passage we need to track them. We are suspecting that in both of these incidents, the kidnappers have come from the North but departed to the...

Kuwaia touches the chest of Sprthnt in an unspoken manner of reassurance. She then nods toward Cormorante and Britta, draws her swords, and runs toward the waiting enemy. Cormorante and Britta nod back and follow. Sprthnt and Siofrita ready arrows and Antapkos prepares his javelins. The three...

Plumeir stays with Astarte and bids Taylar, good luck. He says in Maldrog, "Wie ich einigermaßen bekannt bin, Ich helfe bei den Fragen," which is to say, "As I am somewhat known, I will help with the questions."75

Though she has never seen anything of the likes of the design on the floor, based on the previous conversation, Astrid suspects that powerful bending is somehow involved. She gets down on her knees and examines the circle and its marks, hoping to decipher some meaning from them.75

Both apparently having the gift of gab and others thinking of them as twins, Antapkos and Sprthnt play off of one another in explaining the capture of the beetle elytra. Of course, they omit the use of mystical talent in the explanation, making out that arrows and rocks were used, instead. When...

Plumeir listens intently to the conversations in Maldrog, hoping to increase his limited knowledge. As his position with the mining operations is, apparently, known, he will attempt to facilitate the inquiry into the missing children, deferring to Astarte when speaking to help further rapport...

Knowing that the chitinous wing coverings are valued for the manufacture of a liquid that makes leather harder and even more resilient to weather, Sprthnt backs away a few steps to get the attention of Antapkos and Siofrita, mentioning his intention to see if the three of them can take one...

Plumeir responds to Taylar. "Yes, I have visited this village before, but I have not spoken with them lately or in any capacity regarding the missing youths. I can speak Centrin fairly well, but I think it best for Astarte to do most of the talking." Since the Centrin people are known to be...
