I don't approve of Fiddle 'liberating' that sword from Himool, but then again, I think Himool is full of himself and a twit to boot, not to mention a grave robber, so if the sword were to find its way into the party I doubt I'd say anything. The rumors of a dragon (Dragon you say? ;-))  only interest me in the thoughts of protecting the common folk,  and of the rumored ancient treasures (and hopefully knowledge!) that dragons possess," Erin the monk of the Old Order chimed in.Fiddle's smile faded, replaced by a tinge of red around his cheeks. He looked slightly embarrassed. But it soon faded, too.Richter nodded and took a sip of wine. "Well lets see whats wrong with this ill man first and then head to the Barrows or Ruins. We need to decide which. The ruins lie to the north so i dont think thats too far but the Barrows lie to the south. Granted, its cold but we cant let the filthy unliving walk Toril."Vlad added, "Himool has been decribing one of the Barrows they didn't enter as a large flat-topped mound, with large stones placed on top so as to resemble a grinning skull" Fiddle hopped from one foot to the other,"The Barrowfields lie 30 miles south and east of Peldan's Helm. I'm guessing 2 days travel, but with the heavy snow, I don't know how much ground we can cover per day. I have some knowledge of surviving the wilds, but I'm not sure if I can be of much use to a large group. You all do have winter gear, right? This ruin in the North sounds closer. But it also sounds very deadly. Both living and unliving creatures plus possible divine agents. More and more, I hope Hawk is right about the Lathanderite."Veridian said, "As much 'fun' as it would be 'merrily tramp around' in 3 feet of snow for a week, those barrows have been there for a while, I'd just as soon let them sit a few months until spring thaw, and focus out efforts right now on stuff that involves as little chance of freezing to death as possible. If you really want to go fight undead the ruins are closer as such probablypresent more of a danger to inhabited areas. Though truth be told *lowers voice* if we have to go out at all I wouldn't mind warming my hands by that flaming sword at night. There has to be some way we can get it out of Himools hands...(looks over at Richter)...legally of course. Buy it or trade it, maybe with a well placed wager or a contest?"As an aside, Veridian thought, "He's so full of himself I think he'd walk right into the old heads I win, tails you lose trick. Maybe the old shell game or some more original variation."</blockquote>
