<DIV>"The Forestals foretold that there would be many paths that I would start, only to find an ending. Yet, it is taught that the ending may be a blessing of Cernnunous in disguise. If you would allow, I would like to accompany you on your journeys. It seems that the opportunity that brought me to Cholchara no longer exists, but there has been blessings in my meeting you. Perhaps in the plains I will find a clue to what I seek."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for route:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"My lack of skill slows our progress. With a little more practice, I am sure that I would grow more accustomed to the saddle. Even so, my donkey is not the swiftest animal on four legs. Still, my knowledge of animals is greater than that of boating. I would be of little use to you if we go by the river."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"I know little about your mission, but if time is of the essence, then Jordi is right. We should take the shortest route if our speed would endanger others."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"It is hard for me to judge between the routes without knowing your goal."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To the group:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Since you have been kind enough to allow me to journey with you, let me offer something in return. I know rites that allow be to bestow the blessing of Cernunnos upon my friends and allies. If you wish it, I will be willing to aid you by calling upon these rites."</DIV>

<DIV>Beyond this, he will look with those who are staying in the city for a place to stay. As before, he will try to find a place where he can perform (it is not just for room/board, but also for enjoyment, but the room is helpful). In addition, he will try to listen for any rumors (if any) about the way we will be traveling, or just general information. (btw...he would have related what he overheard in crossroads).</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He would like to explore Cholchara a bit. Specifically, he wants to learn about the horse trade in this city. So he will make contacts with some of the local breeders, traders, etc. He will let these people of Cholchara know about his ranch and find out about possibly buying and selling horses in the Cholchara market.</FONT></DIV></ZZZBODY></ZZZHTML></BODY><PRE>
