 - As Raban has accepted Insight/Mana Reading Arawn will do so at max EL. Ideally he'd do this on the same night he did the Mana Sensing (during the journey from the Citadel).
   Kell seems to have expressed interest so Arawn will Mana Sense. Does Kell want a Mana Reading and Insight as well?

   As the party made preparations to board Arawn gave an odd look when discussion turned to travel expenses. Before he said anything Z'leyra had stepped up to take care of payment but the situation bothered him and he gave Ben'dar an agreeable look when the barbarian made his comment, despite Farseeker's words.

   "I agree with Ben'dar, Farseeker. We were never in the High Elder's debt. He is in ours. We did not ask to come to the Dark Lands, he asked for help. We helped, without asking for pay. As for the items in the castle, they were never the High Elder's to give. They were Lymrian property on Lymrian lands, the High Elder's ring aside. Though I agree with you that this mission is important and I do not ask for reward to accept the quest I do find it in bad taste for a ruler of his power to ask us to accomplish two missions without offering to take care of travel expenses of such a nature as this. Whatever favor we may garner with him I think it bad form.
   Whatever the case it will not stop me from doing what must be done," he said before turning to Z'leyra, "Thank you for your aid and I will do what I can to repay you in the future."

   Despite his words Arawn's voice did not hold any anger or annoyance at the situation nor to the High Elder. He had seen such before but he felt strongly on such an issue as it seemed rude. Likely the High Elder would offer greater in return if the party should accomplish the mission but if not Arawn would not care nor hold it against Ki'ama.

   Once aboard ship Arawn took in the scent of the fresh salty air. He had always loved the ocean, dreaming of what lay hidden beneath the waves. When Arawn was able to find some time to speak with the captain he discussed the food situation and other business.

   "I wish I had know of the food situation in advance as I might have been able to help. My people prefer to travel light and favor easily portable but nourishing rations. Depending on how much time we spend in port restocking I may be able to assist with extra stores by pulling the benefits of the food and storing it in a more easily transported form.
   Aside from that, if it is not a problem, it has been a while since I have had a chance to travel at sea. I was trained to read the stars and navigate by land and sea so would look for the opportunity to assist along the way if you are willing."

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

   Once they were settled in Arawn came forward to see to Kell as he made his way once more to the side of the ship. After the half-elf had recovered Arawn gave him a comforting and compassionate look.

   "You should adapt in time."

   Leaning against the railing the alfar cast his gaze to the horizon, a light dancing in his eyes and a shadow of a smile lingering on his face.

   "I miss this, the ocean. Reminds me of home, parts of it at least. But this is a new world to me and exciting for the surprises and adventures it offers. Still, at some point I would like to return home, for a while at least."

   He shifted a bit to look back at Kell, looking at him in silence for a moment before continuing.

   "You had mentioned your father earlier. I'll do what I can to help you but, if you are up to it, would you care to tell me a bit more about the situation?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   When the boat appeared on the horizon Arawn looked across the water and studied the ship...

   OOC: He'll use Sensory Powers at EL 3 along with the Sidh Tongue to see if he can make out details of the ship and crew.
