Eglath Goliath Fighter

Still stunned from all that has happened, Eglath eyes the old man for a moment and then says, "I would be happy to exchange my services as guard for a ride in your wagon." Glancing at the others he says, "It seems we all share this malady of memory. You all seem to represent the only spark of memory I posess. I think we should all stay together until we can sort this out. There is no point in staying in this wheat field and I don't fancy a two day walk in bandit country."

When the farmer suggests that they all accompany him to the city, Lugka is immediately skeptical. He never liked the bustling city life that took place in the cramped confines of stone walls, square blocks, and overcrowded streets.

Even though Lily was right to think the group should seek some assistance from healers or the like, Lugka would much prefer that they seek out a shaman of the woods or someone of like disposition. More importantly than his personal preferences though, Lugka thought first and foremost that the group should try to stick together until they get to the bottom of this. Although he couldn’t imagine what it could be, there must be a reason why they all have the same problem with remembering and why they know eachother as friend.

With that in mind, Lugka makes his mind know to the others.
“I’ve no love of the large cities, but if the rest of you wish to travel to Althora with this man, Razorclaw and I will follow along with you. If we all suffer from the same affliction, it would be unwise for us to split company in my opinion.”

As he speaks, his hand brushes the top of his dinosaur’s head in an affectionate manner and the beast responds by craning its neck upward and clicking – apparently a sign of approval. Even while being soothed by his master, the creature looks like a ferocious beast and the duo – a monkey looking man and a dinosaur who looks at the entire world like it might be his next dinner – are no doubt a bit of a disconcerting site to the rest of the group.
 

Assessing the situation Voadam's eyes seem to calculate the potentials of his companions and the farmer. Some of the companions are not the most discreet, anouncing vulnerabilities in front of strangers. Oh well best to make the best of things and gather bearings "So goodman," Voadam begins with a smile to the farmer "You have your armed escort. What is the news of the day? I am keen to hear what traveller's tales you have heard and what is going on in Althora and beyond."

Seeing that all is safe, Dunestrider emerges from hiding and approaches the wagon. "I will come with you to Althora as well, and whatever protection I might be able to provide, I will. But please, do tell us - what news have you heard as of late?" he asks, trying to sway the conversation in Voadam's direction.

Chester quietly gathers up his gear, and wonders once more how exactly it, and he, came to be in this field, and why he can't remember anything else beyond the blue smoke.
 

"Well let me see," the old man begins thinking, "Althora has been hard hit with bandits as of late as you would have no doubt guessed. The city of Balstion had some news a few days ago, what was it now? Ahh yes, one of their neigbors Everstar has declared war on Delvestia. There was also a thing about some people close by," the man slows down obvliously thinking, "a hamlet near here...Jadaren, has reported missing peoples in their little corner of the universe."

Seifer looks around for his horse briefly, but quickly realizes there is no sign of it. I hope Gorgon is okay. He doesn't like being neglected. I'll have to remember to get him a few apples when I get back...to wherever I should be

Seifer approaches the old man. "My name is Sir Seifer Dagmar, Knight of the...hmmmm." He pauses, the words he's looking for on the tip of his tongue. Slightly frustrated he continues. "I can't speak for all of my companions, but I would be in your debt if you would lead us to this city you speak of. It would be an honor to offer you protection. No harm shall befall you as long as I draw breath," Seifer says solemnly.

He turns to face the rest of his companions. "You people are the only thing I can remember. I hope we can all stay together until this matter is settled."
 

"Maybe we're the missing people." Skitha muses as she rummages in her bag for another bottle. "Did this Jad-er-en place have a decent tavern? I couldn't be from there if they don't."
 

Zzerki looks to thouse around him. "I say we go to Althora first, and see what we can learn there. then perhaps our paths will lead to Jadaren, perhaps not. Come, let us be on the way.
 

"Sounds like a plan to me," Lily says with a shrug. She reaches up absently to brush some hair from her eyes. "The sooner the better."
