[QUOTE="Tecklenburg, post: 6851574, member: 6781356"] I stare down at the oddity of the satyr warlock-as-carpenter affectionately petting his gigantic croc-as-pet. "Yes. Coin well spent." When Saerie turns to go I follow her away. The blue light of the enchanted blade should suffice here. I wade through the swamp with her, blade below the surface, until we finally come upon the lost staff. On our way up, I simply say "[I]locked in eternal suffering for the actions and loss of their sister who is adrift on the river of time[/I]. That is what the warlock said. Sadia's shadowy figures lost in the wintry storm of her dreams. You and I can discuss this on our journey to Shinaelestra but let us spare the child for the time being." Hand over hand we pull ourselves over the stone wall and emerge back at the farm. The sudden change in gravity is still disorienting, but I manage to pat my student and fellow outcast on the shoulder as he catches his breath from the effort of anchoring the rope and pulling us out. "You did well. I was certain that you would protest." I grasp Saerie's forearm and help her over the top. "Discipline is our greatest ally. We all must suffer the distractions of this crude mortal shell. But we get to decide if it will prevent us from harnessing our best self. Or surrendering to the Bladesong's call...should it call you." I'm sure that Saerie will Scout Ahead and I'll Navigate as we Undertake a Perilous Journey to Shinaelestra. As we go through our packs to make sure our supplies are in order for the trek, I'm considering the best route and the possible resources along the way. [sblock]Spout Lore (Int) 5, 3 +3 = 11 The GM will tell you something interesting and useful about the subject relevant to your situation. I'll go ahead and take care of this.[/sblock] "An old friend is a ferryman on The Fading River. He tired of war and chose a simpler life. He will see us through the second leg of our journey for a better than fair price." Here is the course I will chart.
