As for the 'where to now' question... I kinda worked myself in a corner by giving someone else the leading. There is not a lot I can direct from my position currently. It is up to you guys to get to either Vlar or talk to Judas.

When your group is ready, you can go get a sandboat and get to the city. You can either just 'teleport' there, or sit out the journey and get a chance to talk to each other. But yeah... That's the state of things currently. Get things moving I would say.
