The mage, for his part, seemed little interested in hashing out detailed plans, choosing instead to head back to his room at the guest house. The other two returned shortly afterwards as well and were talking with Jokull in the first floor room when Rahnee walked in, complaining that she had had to go all the way into the city for some tea.Aerikoth a short time later came down the stairs and joined them, saying that he was ready to take them at any time to Teziir, should they still wish to travel there. Rahnee indicated that she did and would feel better as soon as she could speak with Carlin; meanwhile, Jokull affirmed that he would be staying in Westgate. As they made ready to travel, Rahnee momentarily panicked, unable to locate the magic bag with the heads of Brok-Tul and Veran, but then Jokull reminded her she had given it to him earlier for safekeeping.Rahnee in preparation for the magical trip had changed into her dress and minimal equipment, but Aerikoth had to remind Darrow and Dinendal to remove their armor and weapons, otherwise they would be too weighty for the spell. Darrow took advantage of Rahnee’s offer to put his looted Hallton armor in her bag of holding and Dinendal did the same with his lute. With the wizard’s three traveling companions now ready and touching hands, Aerikoth closed his eyes and spoke several words of power, the four vanishing as soon as he had finished.They arrived in Teziir’s Traders District a moment later, appearing outside the door of Council member Queron Ulanthar’s home, a place Aerikoth knew well. The other three congratulated the wizard on a spell well cast, no doubt glad to have materialized with all their body parts where they should be. After asking directions from passersby to the city temples, which were in the Council District, the group finally arrived at the large and imposing Temple of Helm. Rahnee inquired after High Cleric Carlin, only to receive confused looks, but was then directed to Thyxlys Jon, the head of the temple.After the group was announced, they entered his quarters and Rahnee introduced Darrow and Dinendal; she and Aerikoth were already known to the cleric from their previous visit to Teziir. Regarding Carlin, Thyxlys Jon told them that he had departed the city that morning, bound for Turnton. Jon expressed surprise that they had not encountered Carlin on the road, leading the group to contemplate out loud the irony of their journey. In response to a question from Rahnee about Melissa’s status, Jon indicated that she remained at the temple, still unconscious. The cleric of Helm was blunt in telling them that he disagreed with Carlin’s hope of healing Melissa and that he would prefer simply to have done with the situation by putting an end to her and any evil associated with her. However, Jon said that he would honor Carlin’s wishes on the matter, for now.Rahnee then turned to the matter of Brok-Tul and Veran’s deaths and inquired about the possibility of bringing them back, describing what had been done to their bodies. Jon confirmed that for a cleric of great power, only a part of a body would be required in order to cast a resurrection spell, but he stated that he did not have such power himself. Regarding Veran, Jon commented that as a monk of Kelemvor, it would be unlikely that he would wish to return from his judgment, in any event. Rahnee agreed, saying that she thought Veran felt fulfilled by his mission against the lich Ashnakzeroth. (I have no doubt that this was the case for Brother Veran, who was a great warrior in the struggle against abomination. I similarly have little doubt that the Order's leadership would frown upon one of us perpetually dodging our audience in front of Kelemvor's throne. --R)Turning back to the topic of Brok-Tul’s fate, Rahnee, visibly upset, asked the cleric if it was wrong for her to not give up on the idea of returning Brok-Tul to life. Jon replied by saying it was for her to decide, not him, but that he would send word to sister temples to see if any assistance was available; he cautioned her, however, to not expect a timely response. Dinendal attempted to help by bringing up the legendary cleric Cadderly, but was ignored by Jon, who evidently had something on his mind. Jon at this point indicated he wished to speak privately with Rahnee and remained in his chambers with her for several minutes while the others waited outside.</blockquote>
