For the time being, I'll put him on auto-pilot, but without a character sheet to pass on, it may be difficult... So for now: )Aerda considers what Fendric has said, then steps outside, saying no word...Before the barkeep even finishes pouring your ale, he returns, Astrule on his wrist, the ring in his palm. He sets it on the counter abruptly, its rattle piercing the silence."Astrule wouldn't take it. Wouldn't take it away, I mean... He just sat there, fidgeting. Which isn't like him... He knows my command.""I only had a twinge of doubt myself, but I'm convinced that it was the ring's contribution... I think it's capable of much more influence than that. For Astrule to disobey... I'm beginning to doubt everything I've done since putting it on.""I'm worried to leave it in the city, where anyone might find it. If it doesn't want us to let go, it might come looking for us... I have a thought of where to hide it, but I'll have to take it there myself. I won't wear it, of course... If it can still hold sway from my satchel, hopefully my knowing will be enough to resist it.""I will catch up with you, when I can. Victus and the others are still in town -- he at least will stay until I return here, if I ask. Tell him where you go, and some instructions for me to track you should your path change. 'Look for rocks in the shape of such-and-such constellation,' what have you.""Travel safely, friend, and farewell..."He pauses, then looks over at Nurthk."I also spoke with this young man some, and there's something that stands out about him... It's not my choice alone, but you certainly have my consent to take him along, should you choose to."With that, Aerda heads out... (Until such time as his player returns...)(I think at this point we can flash forward again to the next morning, as you're preparing to leave... Which direction are you headed? Any further preparations to be made in this town?)</blockquote>
