[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7852900, member: 2012"] Custodio nods and casts his spell on the dragori druid after Akos' examination. "While it won't last long," Custodio says to Sylemis. "If there is some evil force nearby affecting you, the spell might help keep it at bay." "I thank you for your aid," the dragori replies. [OOC][U]Protection from evil[/U]: duration is 4 minutes.[/OOC] "Yes, you do not need to worry about me, for now," the dragori adds. "I am good to make my rounds in the Gardens and inspect the trees and greet today's visitors. Tomorrow morning, I should be able to prepare a spell that will allow me to speak with the plants of the Gardens. They may know something that others have missed." He hugs both Tuck and Akos and pats Mutt on the head one more time before heading off to perform the duties he has been unable to while sick. He turns and waves one more time before heading towards the Western Gardens. "I will lead you to Lady Émilienne," Huverel offers. "While I'm sure I could find it, feel free to lead the way," Custodio replies. The young half-elven druid nods and leads your group beyond the Temple of the Ascetics, deeper into the Eastern Gardens. The way is more overgrown than the other parts of the Gardens and even Custodio soon comes to realize that he'd have gotten lost. "We keep the Eastern Gardens wild, so that we can cultivate rare plants from the Eastern Lands and the Dark Continent. As long as you stick to the paths, you won't encounter anything dangerous." The path Huverel chose eventually comes to an end near the outer wall of the Gardens where it opens up into a worn walkway that runs along the edge of the wall. As you look back towards the Western Gardens, you can see a tower that divides the two halves of the wall from the two distinct gardens. Towards the end of the Eastern Gardens is a corner tower where the north wall meets the eastern wall of the Gardens. The walkway is clear to the tower and as you get closer you can see that a Bluffside Regular stands guard near a half-hidden stairway leading down into the tower. While he watches the Eastern Garden with some trepidation, the man orders you to halt once he sees you. "This are is restricted to Regulars business only," he says abruptly. Then he notes the half-elf druid. "Oh, Huverel, I didn't know it was you. Can I help you with something? Is anything wrong? Who are these, people?" "Calm yourself, Nathaniel," Huverel says. "These are friends. They helped Sylemis with his sickness and are here to speak to Lady Émilienne." "She's in the tower. She's still talking to Kaleb."
