Yes. While the worst of the forest has been cleared out, there are still wild animals around.

It should be easy to find your way to the Star Mounts once we get close to Kraghammer.

[At least once they get to the Cliffkeep Mountains, that's an easy enough split off point. Damn Kraghammer for being underground. Percy shifts his horse a bit, unsure.]

I'm Percy.

[hermit_crab]

[ Kraghammer ... That gets Tolovir to straighten up a bit. Isn't there an Underdark entrance in there? That's also one of his goals here...

He gives Percy a deep nod that stops just short of a bow. ]

Tolovir. Is Kraghammer where you're going?

[inclementia]

Yes, I have to speak with some people there. Some friends as well.

[Man he didn't even drop his full name. Respectful.]

I'm not sure what business you have at the Star Mounts but it isn't too far from the entrance at the mountains.

[hermit_crab]

[ Tolovir shifts a bit. Again debating how much to say, and deciding to take a chance here. ]

... My ultimate destination is Kraghammer. Or at least under it. I was just hoping to regroup with my sister first.

[ In the Star Mounts, full of birds, the exact opposite of the Underdark, ]

[inclementia]

I see.

[He's dealt with so much stranger. No judgement or questioning here.]

Then you lucked out. We should get moving, though. It doesn't do well to stay in one place here for too long.

[hermit_crab]

R - right. Which. Ah.

[ Tolovir HAD been just walking on foot here. He eyes Percy's horse with deep uncertainty. ]

[inclementia]

[Yeah he doesn't exactly have a spare horse laying around. He looks around, then... Ugh. Actually doing the right thing.

He'll hop off and hold onto the reins.]

There's a village not far from here. Find a bed to sleep and get you a horse yourself.

[hermit_crab]

[ And Tolovir is slim and small, but not slim or small enough to ride two on a horse. He screws up his face but nods, not arguing at all as he starts walking. ]

You really are quite familiar with the area. Are you from around here?

[inclementia]

Sort of. I've traveled it quite a bit, alone and with my companions over the years.

[hermit_crab]

[ He hitches his pack a little higher on his back. ]

Companions?

[inclementia]

Yes. My friends.

[Lord that's a weird thing to say but you know? He doesn't hate it, even when he can feel the unconscious little smile on his face thinking about them.]

They let me travel with them and we did quite a lot together.

[hermit_crab]

[ Well. Tolovir doesn't need an insight check to recognize that dynamic. Something softens in his expression. ]

Let me guess. You never intended to travel with them, and yet they grew on you?

[inclementia]

Oh, I did intend to travel with them. They were interesting, and I needed to be able to get places.

But yes, they did. Grow on me.

[hermit_crab]

[ A faint snort at that. ]

The same effect, then, if not the same start.

[inclementia]

Were yours also overly eccentric with no real idea of what they were doing?

[hermit_crab]

[ A quirk of his lips. ]

The precise same. Yes. I'm beginning to wonder if all such roving adventurer parties are like that.

[inclementia]

It seems to be the nature of mercenary for hire work.

[hermit_crab]

I suppose that's true enough.

[ He huffs a bit. ]

Are you meeting them in Kraghammer?

[inclementia]

No, unfortunately. They're handling some other business elsewhere. Tackling things from all sides currently.

[hermit_crab]

... What's going on? Please tell me there isn't another pending apocalypse.

[inclementia]

No, no. Just some bureaucratic nonsense.

[That hopefully doesn't devolve into another pending apocalypse.]

[hermit_crab]

[ As D&D plots normally tend to go... ]

Well. We have a hike ahead of us. If you don't mind telling a story?

[inclementia]

[Blinks at him over the top of the saddle.]

I beg your pardon?

[hermit_crab]

Of - er - what sort of bureaucratic nonsense is happening. I'm curious.

[ He purples a bit. ]

[inclementia]

Honestly, we're still trying to figure out the details. This is as much bureaucratic as it is recon.

[Also so Rho doesn't get spoiled.]

I can talk about other things though, if given a topic to start.
