[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 838868, member: 3448"] Session 5: 2/16/752 Early the next morning, Dove's captain approaches her. She snaps to attention and he waves for her to relax. "I hope that you have your kit ready for that mission I mentioned." "Yes, sir." "Good. We're waiting for the arrival of a ship. It should come in tomorrow late afternoon. Make sure you're ready." "Yes, sir. I'm ready, sir." The captain smiles. "Carry on." Meanwhile, Lhovrik goes to speak with Lady Karina cath Kalissar. "Good morning, Mother." "Good morning, Lhovrik. I would really appreciate it if you would come home when you say you're going to. I was worried." "I'm sorry, Mother. We were hoping to see something that would confirm where Balthrin is." "Were you able to?" "No. We think he's on a ship, the Lurdana's Luck. But we weren't able to check." Lhovrik thinks for a moment. "Could you do some sort of divination to confirm it? If we knew for sure that he was on that ship, we could rescue him." Lady cath Kalissar pauses. "If I can get relatively close to the ship, I could attempt to detect Balthrin. Since I know him, that will confirm whether he's on the ship, barring misdirection magic or lead shielding or the like." "That would be wonderful. I'm very concerned about Balthrin." "Give me a few minutes to study." While Lady cath Kalissar pores over a spellbook, Lhovrik and Ginara get ready for a trip to the docks. After a few minutes, their mother puts aside the spellbook. "Are you ready to go?" Ginara looks at her mother's expensive robes and jewelry. "Ummm... I think that it might be difficult for us to do this discreetly if you wear your normal clothes." Lady cath Kalissar simply reaches into a small pouch at her belt. She slips on the ring inside and disappears. "I think this will be just fine. Make sure you leave the door open long enough for me to make it out of the house." Both Lhovrik and Ginara startle. Ginara then starts to smile. "Don't get any ideas, Ginara," Lady cath Kalissar gently admonishes. The family heads to the Docks. When they approach the Lurdana's Luck, Lhovrik says, ostensibly to his sister, "That's the ship we think he might be on." Their mother says quietly, "It would be useful if you could talk moderately loudly, to cover the sound of the spellcasting." Ginara and Lhovrik proceed to talk about anything and nothing, while their mother quietly chants. After a few seconds, she speaks again. "He's not on the ship. Just a moment while I check the nearby buildings. No, he's neither on board nor near by." Lhovrik frowns. "I hope he isn't dead. We'll have to try to find other ways of locating him. Thank you for your help." The cath Kalissars return home. Ginara and Lhovrik both spend the rest of the day training. In the early evening, they meet up with Melania and Dove. After a little discussion, they decide that they should see whether Melania can get Aral away from Malin and press him a little for information. [/QUOTE]
