A wand or similar charged item might be possible, though.[/SBLOCK]Three Flowers, Annika, Shakou and Mystal Mar travel together to the southern edge of Cormondal, about 20 minutes walk. The streets and canals give way to ruins interspersed with weed and rubbish clogged trenches. Old buildings have been shored up and converted to shelters for livestock, or been stripped of their stone entirely and rebuilt as new buildings and outhouses. The road south turns to a muddy track and peters out entirely - travel further south is conducted by river.Here, there is the last farmhouse. A couple of small rice paddies are watered by irrigation ditches, and biting insects are already beginning to hatch, even this early in the year. Beyond the paddies, a dark forest of thickly-growing bamboo climbs up into the hills.You are met by the tenant of this farm and his family. He is the same man that dumped a dead goose on the Vashti's floor."Thank you for coming, your honours," he says. "That's where I lost the geese." He points to the eaves of the forest. "Come and see."He shows you, in the muddy levee surrounding the paddy, on the forest side, a strange set of tracks, smeared pretty much out of recognition, but made by something with large claws by the looks of it.</blockquote>
