*Leesea reflects upon her studies of the region, dredging up information she had read in an obscure book some years back.*
"Well," she says, "I know there are a few cave systems in the area. The greenbonds are most familiar with them, though few have been too terribly well explored. Some strange creatures have been know to emerge from them from time to time, which suggests that they might go quite deep."
"Do you suppose these 'bones' are a tangible object, or something more of a metaphor?"

*Darthallys rolls his eyes a eyes a touch and shakes his head before looking to Atlas.*
"My muscle headed friend, I believe our newfound and erudite companions are considering the possibility that the Bones might be in the caves somewhere. Now, as that supposition was plucked from the air without so much as a clue or scrap of supporting evidence, I'm a bit skeptical. Mayhaps we should put effort into finding the other person who's sharing our hallucinations. He could be the missing link that actually knows what's going on. Failing that, perhaps a scholar or elder greenbond could be found that could guide us in the right path. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for getting started on this adventure. However, idly wandering the Lands of the Diamond Throne hoping to trip over some mythological carrion doesn't appeal."

"I understand that supposition. However we are being entreated to return the bones to the Earth. Whatever those bones may be. *Here he looks to Lessea.* I would find it pointless to be asked to return them, if they are already in a cave or underground."

*Phaern waits for the others to catch up to him temporaly speaking. When he is finished his research he will retire to the tavern where he is to meet Kelthet. Hopefully he has managed to find some of the other faces that appeared in their vision.*

*Phaern, as darkness falls, you feel you've wrung as much information as possible out of the library for now. And you're hungry. Thanking your helpers, you return to the Rat's Breath. However, Kelthet is nowhere to be found. Questioning the innkeeper will get you that he left around noon to go to the Star Cross inn at the request of a messenger, along with another spryte. The innkeeper will reluctantly give you directions to the inn.*
*Everyone else, your conversation lasts until it is beginning to turn dark. But with darkness brings friends, as a pale-haired spryte dressed in brown and green comes flying through the door. It's Phaern, for those who know him, and the spyrte from your dreams, if you do not.*

*Wil stands and waits for Phaern to answer. He is fidgeting in excitement.*
I feel so... important. But I don't even compare to the people around me. What is my purpose?
"Ah, Phaern. It is a blessing to see you. I hope you can tell us some information about this quest that we are upon. Truly you can lead us the way. There must be some urgency because we have come together so quickly."Ray Silver said:

"Ah here everyone is, looks like the party started without me. Kelthet looks like you managed to find everyone, great work! Darthallys good to see you and Atlas again. Wil, was it, I know I have met you once before and recognised you in the vision, good to see you again. To answer your questions yes I believe that I have a lot of information that could help us, but I will get to that in a moment. Miss, it is a pleasure to meet you and Sir," he says looking at Indacalis, "I dont believe that we have met either, my name is Phaern Starspike."

*Darthallys tried to keep up with the conversations for a while, but rapidly grew bored with speculation. Much like his 'lower' ancestors, the Razor Tongued prefers problems he can sink his teeth into. For the last several hours he's been chatting with a nearby bar wench, a world weary human wench who's just jaded enough to find Darthallys frank banter refreshing. It's very obvious to everyone, including the barmaid, that Darthallys is trying to convince her to warm his bed when her shift finally ends.*
*Upon Phaern's arrival, Darthallys straitens up a bit, grinning at the Spryte. He cocks his head to the side, one ear dropping comically as he stares at familiar, if diminished features.* "Well, I'll be unbounded. Phaern! I didn't know you went and got coccooned. I didn't recognize you in all my hallucinations. What with this monkey getting bigger all the time and everone else getting smaller, I'm lucky to be able to keep track of friends at all."
*He leans closer to the Magister,* "Phaern, I /really/ hope your information is good, because all that we've managed to determine is that this place has fairly decent friend fish, we've three good swordsmen, and that I am ruled by the basest of thoughts while Atlas is a sterling example of what we all could be if virtue ruled our hearts." *He waves his hand dismissingly,* "Well something like that."

Phaern Starspike, Spryte Magister 5
"Haha, yeah I guess it has been a while eh Darthallys. Let me tell you its tons of fun being so small, you can get in to all sorts of new trouble. Being at sea for the last year, I guess I have been a little out of touch with friends. You will have to tell me what you have been upto for the past couple of years. But looking around at this bunch it would seem that my information is rather urgent."
Phaern sets down his backpack and pulls out a big red book, well big for him anyhow. The red book is leather bound with a small golden clasp on it and it looks like several faen runes worked into it. He opens it and turns to the page that a thin piece of blue ribbon is marking. The page contains notes in his small hand.
"Could someone get me a drink? If we are going to go through all of this it may take a while. To begin with I remembered a ritual preformed by some who wish to be closer to the earth and started my search there. I found a treasure trove at the university library. From my notes here I have a lead on where to begin our search. It appears that there is a cave near a small town not too far away - Ra-Toqu. The stones of that cave are red in color and by following an underground tunnel from there we are on the 'Spine Road'. Along that road we will encounter many rooms of colored stone from red, orange, yellow, green, blue and finally purple. At the end my references speak of the 'Spine of the World' and the 'Shadow Serpent'."
Phaern stops for a moment there to get the reactions for those assembled and really to take a breath and see about that drink.
