Sturm uses the clothing of a dead Hobgoblin to clean the blood and gore from the Brightblade.
"This staff must be important indeed, to bring these fell creatures so close to civilization. Maybe the Wizard can enlighten us?" He says with obvious distaste at having to ask Raistlin's opinion.

"Hrmph. More than I, that is assured"
Sturm sheathes the Brightblade and steps away from the group to fume.
deep breath..."Don't let him get the best of you...maintain your discipline"

"Sturm, he has told us what he knows, leave it lie." The half-elf says laying a restraining hand on the knight's shoulder. He waits patiently for the kender to finish his 'examining', although he does aid Flint and Caramon in the binding of the sleeping hobgoblins.
As he is tying he asks of the group in general, "does anyone know who this onyx is?"

No clues about the crystal staff are found by searching the hobgoblins, nor do the survivors have much to say when they awake. They claim they were ordered to search the road at night and find a blue crystal staff. They had a few steel in their belt pouches, which Tasslehoff kindly liberates.
Puzzling over the mystery of the staff, the friends move through the trees of Solace to the eastern shores of Crystalmir Lake. The autumn sky has grown dark, and the deep stillness of the lake is felt rather than seen. You know that soft forests border the serene waters on the eastern, southern, and western shores. To the north, a patchwork of fields stretches toward the distant mountains.
Suddenly, soft music begins. Its source is a slim, beautiful girl near a small campfire. Lyre in hand, she sits gracefully as she plays; nearby, a large plainsman raises a flute to his lips.
The girl's eyes are a blue; her skin is a buttery tan. Most striking of all is the flowing white gold of her hair. Plush white furs trim her woven cape. A single feather folds back long the right side of her head.
Her voice clear as winter air, she begins to sing...

The Song
Grasslands are endless. And summer sings on.
And Goldmoon the princess loves a poor man's son.
Her father the chieftain makes long roads between them.
The grasslands are endless. And summer sings on.
Grasslands are waving. The sky's rim is gray.
The chieftain sends Riverwind east and away,
To search for strong magic at the lip of the morning.
The grass lands are waving. The sky's rim is gray.
Oh Riverwind, where have you gone?
Oh Riverwind, autumn comes on.
I sit by the river and look to the sunrise,
But the sun rises over the mountains alone.
The grasslands are fading. The summer wind dies.
He comes back, the darkness of stones in his eyes.
He carries a blue staff as bright as a glacier.
The grasslands are fading. The summer winds dies.
The grasslands are fragile, as yellow as flame.
The chieftain makes mockery of Riverwind's claim.
He orders the people to stone the young warrior.
The grasslands are fragile, as yellow as flame.
The grasslands are faded, and autumn is here.
The girl joins her lover. The stones whistle near.
The staff flares in blue light and both of them vanish.
The grasslands have faded, and autumn is here.
The woman finishes the song and looks up, eyes meeting with those of the companions. She seems startled and quietly says something to the plainsman by her side.
"Riverwind, my love, others have found us. I pray that they do not wish us ill." The woman places down her lyre, and places her hand on a long fur-wrapped bundle resting on the ground in front of her.
OOC: The brown text is spoken in Plainsman (not sure of the correct name for the language).

"Humph, they sure dont look to be elves, but who else would be a sitting in the woods a singin'?" asks Flint. He leans on his axe and wait for Tanis to talk to them, settling back into his old routine of deference to his half-elf friend.

As Chieftan's daughter brings her song to a close, the plainsman lowers his flute. Then he notice the flash of the hand speak, he puts his hand to his sword and he winces at being caught unawares.
OOC: Plainsmen don't have their own verbal tounge but they do have a sign language. Their verbal tounge is the same as that spoken in Solace and the other villages of the area. At least according to the web site Gru had us use.

OOC: I finally got around to ready the Chronicles (Mostly b/c of tis game.) which has been sitting in my room un-read (GASP! HORRROR OF HORRORS, I have an un-read book? Reason enough to read it right there...). Anyways, I just started Volume 1, Chapter 6(Night in a cave. Dissension. Tanis Decides), and page 60 has this sentence:
"Take my cape," Riverwind said in their language, starting to remove his bearskin cloak.
So I'ld assume that means they DO have their own language, and judging from how they refer to 'whispering' later on, I'ld also assume it's spoken.
Oh, and gru, don't worry 'bout player-character info, I'm good for playing dumb (HEY, WHO ARE YOU CALLING DUMB?!?) Sorry.. uh... uninformed. (That's better. BTW, you dropped your gold pouch... can I have a reward for finding it?). I'm just readnig it b/c
A) I'm bored what with computer-problems cropping up every few hours. (Should be fixed by end of week hopefully..), and
B) I'm wanting to get a better feeling for Krynn, as well as Tas's interaction with the companions (It's not very prominent in 'Kendermore', the only other dragonlance novel I've read).
IC:
Tas stared at the lady, his attention caught momentarily by her hair. He is soon standing (Probably un-noticed) slightly behind them, having just 'found' the fur-wrapped bundle, and beginning to un-wrap it. 'wonder what this is?' Tas thought as his insatiable curiousity drove him ever-onwards towards trouble.
OOC: "Love the hair.. do you use product?"
hehe.. couldn't resist.
Anyways.. Hide + 17, Move Silent + 15 (No double move, so no -5), going around them behind them, then taking the bundle once she stops pating at it, and looking at it.
