"I still don't what I'm needed for, if you're going to stay close to Thumble." Rillkep says to Tharhack"Well, There's at least two people who know where Xanoniel is going. One is Xanoniel the other is an old hag living somewhere out in the woods. I intend to get the information I need from the witch." Tharhack replies"Witch? If there was a witch living out there, I'd know about it." Rillkep answers"Yes, I'm sure you would. I mean you sniffed out the kobolds with no problem." Tharhack replies demeaningly"If you're going to be rude the whole time, then forget it, you can do this by yourself." Rillkep says pulling his boots back off"Rude? I speak the truth, if we hadn't stumbled into your little happy village, I'd be talking to a kobold chieftain right now. I offer you the chance to eliminate a problem now, before it's gets beyond anything you could hope to contain." Tharhack statesThe words while stinging were true, and Rillkep knew it. "Fine what's the plan? How are we going to find her cave or whatever?" "I know the location of where she wanted to meet Alriand. I think we should start from there." Tharhack answers"OK, let me go tell Wilby where I'll be." Rillkep states as he leaves to wake Wilby and to tell him he'll be back later that day.Tharhack tells Rillkep to meet him by Roplin's in ten minutes. Leaving the sheriff's, Tharhack goes straight to Roplin's and awaits Rillkep's arrival. Kneeling in the snow covered grass, Tharhack begins his daily prayer to Kord. Rillkep arrives and watches and waits for Tharhack to finish. Not a very pious man himself, he wasn't going to argue with the results Tharhack got from it. Meanwhile........."Isn't kind of odd that we haven't seen any sign of Tharhack?" Rebrey asks"No, it just shows he's doing a wonderful job of staying invisible." Xanoniel replies"Yeah but, you haven't even looked for his passing" Rebrey counters"I showed him a little trick, I see the signs perfectly. In time you may grow to notice them as well. If you don't trust me, feel free to stay here or go back to the halflings." Xanoniel responds"No, it just feels weird without him here, first Bimbar, then Alriand, and now Tharhack. It feels lonely." Rebrey says"I'm here with you, and so is Alriand. She needs you now more than ever." Xanoniel answers"Speaking of Alriand, how long is she going to be out?" Rebrey asks"She'll be catatonic until Tharhack lets us know we've made it to the wizard's tower." Xanoniel responds"Does she have to be in a coma?" Rebrey asks?"Unfortunately yes, otherwise her brain would rip the fabric of her reality, and she would go insane. Taking you with her." Xanoniel replies"If the witch is that powerful, shouldn't we have dealt with her on the way out of Thumble? I don't think leaving her alive is a wise decision." Rebrey asks"Once Alriand is revived, we can go back and deal with this witch, Tharhack and I thought it better to save Alriand first as opposed to lose time by trying to chase an old hag through the woods." Xanoniel replies"But you're a druid, aren't forests your turf?" Rebrey asks"True but I don't live there, she does. So, just because I can tell the difference between a pine tree and a fur tree, doesn't mean I can spot a well hidden pit trap." Xanoniel respondsSatisfied with those answers, Rebrey lays down next to the fire, and gazes at the black mat that is the sky. "I wish the stars were out tonight.""I hope this clears up for tomorrow, how I long to feel the suns rays on my cheeks again." Xanoniel repliesRebrey drifted off to sleep, while Xanoniel prepared another batch of poison that would keep Alriand comatose for another twenty-four hours.</blockquote>
