"Then let me offer this compromise. We walk a day along the edge of
the badlands. If Temorya's wand indicates that its destination is
still best reached by going through, we go in, with every precaution
available. It may be that a days travel shows us the best way would be
to keep going round, then this is all well and good. If not, well,
forewarned is forearmed. Temorya and myself may be able to warn of
threats before they are upon us, and I have some small magic's that may
be of use."
Pean settles down from a crouch into the crosslegged position he had
been in before the violence, his hands dropping from the half formed
shape of an incantation he had begun at the first blow.
"Garrot is quite right, that Elklisee has given us no reason to trust
her. She has also given us no reason *not* to trust her. Her astral
pattern is still an enigma to me, so I cannot vouch for her lack of
Taint, or her motivations, but consider this; if she were the thief we
race, would she have waited for us at the Inn? The time we were
detailed over Maerath's..troubles would have given her ample time to
move ahead. She could even have stolen Termorya's wand, and made us of
it herself. She has not.
Farli, do you wish me to take a look at that nose? I've seen such from
tavern brawls in Bush Namur - it always looks - and feels - worse than
it often is!"
