As Arawn made his way back to camp he could see the odd looks and smirks crossing the others faces. He was still cold and wet from his early morning swim and no doubt they were either finding his dripping form humorous or had caught sight of him naked as he swam. Either way it did not bother him and when Thig jested with him he couldn't help but grin in return. 

   "I was just checking things out at the bottom of the lake. I wanted to be sure that there was nothing else down there that could be of concern." As he sat down by the fire he began to take off the wet clothing and layed it out to dry.
   "I didn't find anything of interest and all seems well, though I have to admit it was only a very quick reconnaisance."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   As the group pondered decisions on where each of them would travel Arawn thought over the input given by the others and considered his other plans and how it would work in the timeline he had mentally plotted.
   "Chion, when were you planning on teleporting everyone to Marentia? I would definitely like to help you by transmuting the horses but my magics are severely depleted right now and it could take me some time to regain my strength. I was planning on performing some rites on the night of the winter solstice but will do what i can if you wish to teleport everyone before or by then. If you can hold a few days it should take me about a week to fully recover all my magic starting from tomorrow. If you are in a hurry though I have a few ideas to speed things up. Just let me know how much time I have to prepare before everyone leaves.
   As for my staying, I do wish to explore Marentia as I think the idea of seeing new places an exciting one," a fire seemed to burn in his eyes when he said this,"but I feel there may be more to investigate here before we leave. I wish to delve deeper into the happenings at the cabin ruins in hopes of uncovering knowledge lost to us by peering into the past, a grueling and time-consuming process, and I also wished to see to the needs of the Sidh here before I leave the area. 
   I do not know how long it will take, perhaps a month or so but I was wondering, Chion, if you would be willing to come back for me after a month or so and teleport me to Marentia? If this is too much of an inconvenience though I do understand and will either plan for passage to reach the rest of you in Marentia in time to prepare for the next expedition or else simply leave with the group for Marentia if it may prove difficult to reunite. Let me know what you decide on this and, as I mentioned before, I am willing to pay for your services if you so desire."

   When he is done listening to the groups replies he makes his way toward Z'leyra to discuss a few things.

   "I was wondering, Z'leyra, as the group may be in a hurry and you seem quite adept at bringing out the magical properties inherent in things, if you may be willing to help me with something should the group need to leave quickly. I would save it as a last resort but if need be would you be willing to enchant my spittle? Enchanted it could power my magics enough to alter the forms of all the horses.
   Beyond that I have rethought my decision to delve deeply into the Claw. I still wish to examine it but I do not think it would be wise for me to bond with it. I tried to do so with one of the serpent-staffs and found myself overwhelmed. I had garnered more information when bonding with the serpent-crown, though whether this was due to it's nature or some luck on my part I do not know but I think that you are right in being wary about linking with it. Although I will be backing out of bonding with it, unless divinations prove favorable for doing so, I still wish to perform some rites on it during the solstice in hopes of uncovering more about it's past, powers and with whom or what it is connected to."

OOC: If anyone asks for further details Arawn is hoping to cast Akashic on the cabin in hopes of uncovering information but since this could take a while he will only do so if he is left in the Vassa woods for a while. The same thing goes for attempting to speak with the dead (he has no plans on slowing the party down right now and would only ask questions after the Akashic spell and some deliberation).
   If someone is willing to come back for him at a later date, or if the journey to Marentia can be done via caravan or through a relatively safe area, he will stay in the Vassa woods for at least a month. He definitely would like to continue with the group, whether to Katai or elsewhere, and makes it clear he is happy to help them in any way they need, all they need do is ask. I just need to hear back as to whether anyone is willing to do this or if any caravans move through here/or I can travel relatively safely alone to Marentia (Scott, I'm guessing you'll have to let me know if the NPC's know anything about this)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   When he hears Bohusara speak of a ritual to replace a Green Lady he looks up, surprised, and asks Bohusara,
   "A ritual? I didn't realize that one was needed. I do not wish to seem rude but I am curious. I had never thought how a Green Lady is bound to her wood. I guess I had assumed that they simply came into existence within the forest and were bonded automatically but hearing this makes me wonder. If a rite is needed then is is possible for multiple Green Ladies to exist within the same stretch of forest and only one of them is truly bonded to the wood? Or does the ritual summon a Green Lady from Cernunnos's court?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   OOC: I hadn't realized that the gold was already figured out based on selling the items. As a new player I didn't know if it would have been alright to ask for the wand and the two talismans. I would like them as they would prove to be very useful to Arawn but if this is going to eat into everyones gold then I'm okay with just 'buying' them back, purchasing them with my share of the gold. Let me know what you all decide but if it matters my item choices, in order, are:

  1 Talisman MEL9/EL5, Negation/Protection
                vs Light Creatures (nice one for me as I have elvish light vulnerability)
  1 Wand MEL10/EL4, 24 inches, No magical power
  1 Talisman MEL7/EL5, Summoning ability

   Scott, as I mentioned, if my going for these items is going to throw everything off just let me know how much gold it would cost me to purchase them and then I can just subtract the cost from my share of the gold, up to what I can afford.
