[sblock="for Kirio"]Kirio, the Ragesian generals are unknown to you.As for the Torch of the Burning Sky, you know a fair amount of information about its use, function and the current effects on teleportation magic.  The Torch of the Burning Sky is an artifact with teleportation powers, and so it is tied to the Astral Plane.  Perhaps thematically or for some as of yet unknown purpose, it is also tied to the Elemental Plane of Fire.  The current problem with teleportation magic is likely linked to the artifact, either due to its current unknown position, or perhaps because it is damaged.  Its condition and location are conjecture, but you can infer that the nearby Astral Plane is being suffused with energyfrom the plane of fire, which is having two effects: First, things are getting colder here on the Material Plane. It is currently winter and there is no spring in sight for Ragesia and the lands bordering it. Druids are sensing that something is amiss, and the sky is filledwith flocks of confused birds trying to flee this unnatural winter.Second, teleportation and other forms of astral travel are hot and dangerous.  Long distance travel is suffused with intense flames and is likely fatal without some kind of magical protection.[/sblock]Torrent thanks Lee for his time, makes sure she has the group's parchment invitation to the War Council and then leaves.  You follow her out of the cave and head back along the docks.  Torrent leans over and responds to Kirio's question: "I highly doubt Indomitability's boon will protect us against the dangers of teleportation.  As you remember, we could not touch the flames, but were merely safe against intense levels of heat.  From what Lee was saying, it seems that if one teleports they actually travel through fire.  I don't really know though ... I don't want to try however!" she laughs and keeps walking.Eventually you all head back to the Inn and warm yourselves by the fire.  The remainder of the day is free to you.[GM]I'll assume you all either chill out, go shopping or do whatever.  You're free to follow a quest link or do whatever you like.  I'll advance the timeline this afternoon (to take you to the council) unless someone moves in a different direction.
