Accepting the explanation, Caerth is nevertheless too stubborn to apologize about his outburt upon their first meeting."Thank you," he says, however, quietly and timid. He finally looks Angus in the eyes and smiles awkwardly."I hope you'll tell me about the battles you and him fought together. For now, a good night to you, too."Moving outside the stables, Caerth breathes in the chill morning air. Nature awakens around him, and it makes his heart a bit lighter. Or was that the words from the strange horse-man? Either way, a little bit of weight was lifted, and the druid could work on the task at hand.Finding a place near the tavern but close enough to nature, he opens his back and takes out several items he needs. A few twigs of yew, several berries both dried and fresh, a handful of acorns, and the last of the strange mushrooms that grew in the ruins where they found the Lord's body. Next he places small rocks in a circle before starting a small campfire in it, and when the flames are burning brightly, Caerth adds the components he previously laid ready and then produces a bloodstained bundle from his pack.The heart of the alpha rook.Placing the organ on the tip of the dagger Kang but holding the blade with the rag rather than his bare hand, the half-orc slowly moves it over the fire, which sputters violently in response. It takes him a while before the flames settle down, and once more calling out in Sylvan, he finally drops the heart in the middle of the bonfire.How long he stares into the flames, Caerth cannot say. But the fire tells stories; about the lands around him, about the creatures and settlements nearby and even far away. And also stories about the movements of people in recent days.Once he is satisfied, Caerth makes sure the fire will not spread before picking up his pack and moving a bit further from the inn. Finding a small pond of clear water in the hollow of a tree's big roots, the druid simply calls out to the water. Holding up Eike's possessions, the half-orc traces simple runes with it along the water's edge, then drops a single drop of spit into the water.He looks intently at the slowly stilling water, hoping to glimpse any clues about their target.After all that, Caerth quietly slips back into the tavern, trying not to wake anyone, and takes a rest on the floor in the common room. His magical ring rejuvenates him quickly, and in silence the druid prepares his spells for the day while waiting for the others to wake.[ooc]Casting the aforementioned spells (lay of the land, commune with nature, scrying). I believe we had a possession of Eike's to be used for scrying, but I cannot find what it was, therefore the vague description.I'll update my spell list later.[/ooc]</blockquote>
