Remiel speaks out answering the questions addressed, "As I said before, we
got our information from the merchant captain who is friendly to the Circle
Path Company. The only news we had was that the Far Striders left for
Parlainth and have not been seen for six days. Unfortunately our friend
captain is currently not in Haven and is not expected to return for several
days. He left Haven for Throal almost as soon as he heard about Yuriel's
disappearance."
Nemiroph interrupts, "Belstraum and I intend to conduct our own
investigations within Haven to try and discover where in Parlainth the Far
Striders were headed when they disappeared. I suggest you do the same."
Remiel continues where Nemiroph left off, "The wheres, whos, and whats are
unknown to us at this point. We had arrived in Parlainth not long ago when
we had learned of a large group heading into the Twists. Seeing that the
numbers increased, I would say the trip was a rescue mission? Even if it
weren't, the fact that the numbers are about the same as when you went in
suggest that you all, as a group, would be our best possibility in this
wayfaring town of misfits and scoundrals."
<Lady Yuriel would not be known. Some may recognize the Circle Path Company
as a name they have heard of, and one in the group (if I check knowledge
tests) may know of the Far Striders, but not too likely.>
