The Rest of the Group

From: Mark

Subject: The rest of the group.

OOC: I assume that the rest of the group is moving at best speed on foot towards Nesalin?

IC: Melani watches as the other members of the group talk and decide what they are going to do. She does not understand how the one scribe can stay here when his family is in danger. What is it about this group that makes him subvert his wants to the wants of the group. She has never been able to understand this. If it were her family in danger, if she had any left, they would have to kill her to keep her from going to their aid.

All of a sudden the scribe makes some very complicated gestures and some odd sounds and a horse appears out of nowhere. Melani is startled by this. While she had heard them talking about spell weaving, she had just thought it talk. This, this was unnatural. To summon a horse out of thin air, with out even asking the spirit of the horse permission was wrong. The Belneth would have asked the spirits of the horses if one would serve.

She then sees the warrior mount the horse and disappear. This startles her even more. These scribes use powerful magics. She resolves to keep apart from them.

Once the warrior is gone Melani pipes up "Now what?"

Sorry about that. I hit the Overlook group and not the [mailing list] address.

"Caller Farron has summoned a horse to carry word ahead of us to Nesalin. Perhaps we will meet their forces on the road, but human cities are very slow to act. We will likely arrive as their forces are still being marshalled... but the time saved will hopefully be enough to reinforce Overlook."

Rennik neglects to mention Sa'id's contribution, and, in fact, does not even look in the necromancer's direction.

"Now we must move with all speed and hope there is some way of stopping the army of the dark god."
