Ullara Halx, female human druid with dog companion Bran
Ullara had been certain those thorns were about to strike her when suddenly they had missed her, like fate had just dragged them a few inches away for no reason. Then they had raked Eban fiercely, but she kept going at his cry, knowing getting out of the Netherworld was more important that anything else. As the trees retreated and the group startled the maid back in the real world, Ullara smiled in relief, ruffling Bran's head to tell him what a good job he'd done.
She critically looks the others over for wounds now that they're a bit safer. She crosses to Eban and says, "Let me see where you were hit. I can help," while holding up her herbal medicine kit. Ullara looks over her shoulder at the portal and presses her lips together a bit. After she was done with this, she had a lot of questions that needed answering.

Eban reads Ullara's lips, merely shrugging as a response. He waves off her healing kit, stating, "The wounds are gone...". He allows her to look at the now closed wounds.

Day Four, Evening, inside Herr Bourn's residence
It doesn't take long for the household staff to arrive. Eventually the young woman is calmed down and Herr Bourn manages to convince his staff that he is all right while the party sorts out their wounds.
Herr Bourn looks a little startled when Bayar slaps him on the shoulder, but recovers quickly.
"Please, before you leave, first of all I have to thank you for getting me home safely," Herr Bourn says. His voice is a little shaky and he looks pale. But he makes a visible effort to appear calm before his staff. "I also need to return to the tower." He holds up his hands to stay any immediate response. "Not right now, but soon, as soon as can be done so safely. With what I learnt from the materials you delivered, I think that I know what was done to the Netherworld around the tower, and how it can be undone.
"And in that I think that you may be able to help me. If you are willing. It would involve some travel, and of course, I would pay you for your assistance."

"Well, tentatively, I am go to get you back. I am sure you realize this, but just to make sure, you might want to stock some provisions there for your self. That, and some weapons, Sir." He glances at the rest of the baron's household to see what their reaction is.
OOC Not sure how many sese motic=ves would be needed, so go ahead and roll for me.

Bayar's eyes narrowed in surprise at the mention of returning to the tower so soon. "We be having more letters to deliver. Yours be the first. How fast will you be and when you be going?" he asked. It would make sense to go tonight,he thought, unless he will be days in the tower. We should not wait days.

Day Four, Evening, inside Herr Bourn's residence
"As soon as possible? Ideally within the next day, two at the most. I can't help but feel that what was done to the Netherworld not the end in itself. It was part of a bigger plan.
"How long it will take depends on how you get there. And what you find when you do, I suppose. The tower is not the destination, but the area around the tower. Overland, perhaps a week or so. Via the Netherworld again, less time but ..."
Herr Bourn leaves the sentence unfinished. He doesn't really need to, you have all just been there yourself.
"Where do you have to deliver the letters. Perhaps I can help with that, if its not local. While not specifically my area of study, mapping the Netherworld routes is something of a hobby of mine."
[sblock=Jan]You don't get the feeling that something is wrong, nor that the staff are up to anything.[/sblock]

Jan raises an eyebrow in curiosity, but it move back as there is nothing amiss

Bayar paused a moment before replying. He wasn't sure how much to go into, but still...The Baron obviously trusted the man. "Gate Pass City be our next visit," he said gruffly. "These letters be more urgent now, I think", he added, rubbing the spot in his arm where the Netherworld had somehow extracted blood.
"Tonight or tomorrow be good, if it be saving us time on the way. We be meeting you here then, after breakfast tomorrow."

"Gate Pass City?" coughs Herr Bourn in surprise.
"Yes. Yes course! Gate Pass. Russ. " he continues. "The Torch of the Burning Sky. The connection is obvious. How did I miss that, the similarities are ... unmissable! The question is, what is the connection? The Torch is divine ...?"
Herr Bourn continues on in this vein for a while, absorbed in his thoughts. He apparently fails to hear the rest of what is said to him. All of a sudden he switches track.
"Gate Pass City. In Russ. Easy enough to get to. A couple of trips, I think. Maybe three. Palatine. Hevnor. Anronskeld. Overland to Foreskold. Gatepass. Yes. Three trips. Two days travel there. No wait. Hvenor. Bollsikintanto then a short trip to Magain'has, Corventath, Foreskold. A day, a very full day it must be said, each way. Assuming no complications ...
"But Gate Pass is not a great place to be right now, I think. There is trouble in Russ I seem to remember hearing. Getting there may not be the hard part, no? So two days at least, more like three. At best. I don't know if we have that much time. You must send someone else to deliver the letters."
