The Adventure Continues...

...As we left our heroes, they were wandering towards the grazing grounds of the horses of their village. The cleric, Shardorn, had explained to them in some detail the burden that the donkey now carried, and had answered some of their questions. During their conversation, a rider from the south sent by the Lesser Council of the area had wandered up in search of the group that had fought the Thri-Kreen at the village - them.

---

The party has now reached the horses. As before, there are several of them, and two of them have saddlebags and saddles, while the rest have nothing on them.

The cleric looks over the group. "Well now, my friends. Let us take some of these horses and accompany this man, Nathan, back to the city south of here. While we go, I can answer what remains of your questions."

She mounts a horse, jumping up nimbly on one of the horses with a saddle.

"Well? Whatever you decide to do now, I shall follow and assist, for this is not my decision. I was not given the staff - it is your burden, as students of psionics, not mine. But whichever road you choose, I shall accompany you."
 

"Well, I think we've already decided to reunite the parts of the Psionicle and use it to forward the cause of pschics everywhere. We certainly can't let it fall into evil hands. And since we can't really destroy it without destroying our powers, we haven't much of a choice. Perhaps a time will come when we have to make that decision, but until then, I think this is our best chance.

"Does anyone know how we're to find the other parts of the artifact? A place to go, a person to interrogate? I've no clue."


Osius will decline riding a horse, begging off as being unskilled at riding.

"I don't think those things look safe or reliable, but bring them along in case I get hungry."
 


Jansson walks over to the other saddled horse, and looks through the saddlebags. He mounts the horse (somewhat unsurely, having ridden only rarely).

"So, we head off to see the council then. And I wouldn't worry about Osius, Nathan. It'll take him a day or two to get that hungry" ;)
 

Syld tries his best climbing on the horse, but having never ridden before he quickly notes he is unable to and decides to walk.

"I don't think any of us knows a way to the Astral Plane, where the Staff would sound alarms when near the others, so we must guess I think. Anybody got a pet gem dragon, just by chance?"
 


"What?!?" Eating horse is ok, if you fix 'em right. Riding them then eating them, that's just cruel.

"I'm going to name mine
'Snack'/"

*Nathan simply shakes his head again, then leaps (sort of; Nathan has no ranks in the Ride skill) back onto the horse he rose in on*

"Well, I'm sure there's better food where we're headed, so let's get going..."
 

As Osius trudges along beside his mounted companions, he says, "I vaguely remember one of the gems -- a topaz one perhaps? -- as being held by a member of the Greater Council. It's a long ways south from here, but it's a place to start, unless someone else has a better idea."

Osius keeps an eye out for any game birds or victual-suitable varmits. His morningstar is on his belt, but his sling is out with a bullet loaded. No sense in eating horse if it can be avoided.
