"Yes, I can walk I think," she says, getting slowly to her feet. "It wanted something from me, but I couldn't understand and I think it became angered..."

"Yes, I will come with you, I think together we can do this," she murmurs.
*Assuming the rest of the party cares to join their erstwhile companion on this crazy adventure, you can all approach the whirlwind, even taking along your horses and wagons. As you draw near the whirlwind expands, enveloping everyone in it. Surprisingly enough you do not get dizzy, or get thrown hither and thither, though you quickly find yourself floating almost lazily in mid-air. You can see the surrounding countryside with startling clarity, and you can see you are approaching the mountains at a speed that only the wind could go. You're covering ground that could have taken you weeks in mere moments.*
*The whirlwind touches down in a mountain meadow, and in the distance you can see an elaborate stone structure on the top of a peak. A narrow trail winds through the crags of the mountains, leading the way there.*
"There lives the author of our sorrow, the ones who seek to confine the wind, to force us to bring others' passion and freedom to them, so that they may use it for their own purposes. Free us, free us, free us!" the wind cries one last time, before seeming to be wrenched away from the meadow and into the afternoon sky.

"Well, it would appear that our destination is quite evident. Shall we proceed, or does anyone need to make preparations?"
*Eryic shakes his head for a moment, still somewhat in a trance from such a close encounter with one of the wind spirits.*
"By all means, let us make haste. But we might do well do make ourselves a bit less noticeable, so if our enemy sends any more wind spirits to search around they might not be able to find us," the wind witch councils.
*The faen woman seems to shake herself out of a daze, and "looks" about at everyone else.*
"I'm... sorry. My name is Vaushi Kineye... where are we?" she asks, seeming rather bewildered.
*Urgo's rather confused mule gives a bawl, and the mojh turns to give the creature a bit of grain before it can start raising a real racket.*
"We're on the top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere, that's where we are," he mutters, still a bit shaken by their strange journey.
*Matzerath's skin flaps behind his ears are fanned out strongly, a sure sign of some kind of internal agitation as he scans the horizon. Arkas looks about with undisguised curiousity, perhaps hiding the same faint fear that the others are feeling.*

*Soen flutters upward to gain a better look at the stone structure.*
"Well, I guess we have to do this", he says, the nervousness in his voice readily apparent.
*He flutters back down to Pai and Vaushi Kineye.*
Turning to the female faen, he says "I am Soen Kingmoon. I know things seem confusing now, but we'll (Soen motions with his hand to include the group) look out for you."

Pai nods to Soen as he introduces himself to Vaushi, trying to help the taller faen woman to steady herself after the rushed journey.
"I think that Eryic is right, we should keep a low profile. So I don't know that you have elaborated on what exactly we are doing here Eryic. Could you please? If you have already I appologise, I was a bit distracted earlier." Pai says.

*Vaushi cocks her head at Soen as he waves his hand, her eyes wide open and utterly opaque.*
"I thank you for helping me, I've just had a very confusing day," she says softly.
"Pai, you remember Quelsa? The wind priestess at the temple? She told me the winds were full of anger. And that eventually they would make that storm that everyone's been dreaming about. What that wind spirit just told me confirms it; someone is using the wind for ill purposes, and they're going to destroy the whole city before they're through," Eryic says, outrage plain on his face.

Pai answers Eryic, "Ah right, yup I remember the wind priestess. Thank Pingen god of expeditious travel that we had a wind spirit to get us here, I think it would have been a long walk." Pai takes a moment to look around now that Vaushi is on her feet and steady.
"So where to next? Did the spirit tell you which direction we are supposed to head. Looks like a pretty wide open meadow to me." Turning round he spots the big stone structure and the trail. "Ah well that looks pretty self-explanatory to me. Guess we are heading that way. As long as no one needs a break, I think we should set out right away."
