Gnol looked upwards after Comet asked the question. "Not before nightfall. We'll have to camp somewhere, we might reach the border tomorrow in the late afternoon if we make good speed and leave at earliest convenience, otherwise it'll be another night sleeping under the stars" They would have to move out of the forest if they really wanted to make good speed but perhaps there were some paths not too well known to the public they could travel. "Once we cross the border it'll be another day or two at a good speed."

While Gnol's horse only stiffend at the roar, ready to sprint away if needed, Duncan's horse on the other hand bucked and reared and Duncan found himself dazed on the ground looking at his horse getting away as fast as it could. With the help of some colourful words and expressions Duncan scrambled to his feet and went in pursuit of the darn beast. He couldn't let his horse get tangled up somewhere and hurt itself. Luckily it was an easy to follow trail as there were many broken twigs, trampled bushes and deep hoof prints.

Gnol looked at Trevor. "I suppose our knight needs to find himself a new noble steed if he wants to continue his quest. This one clearly isn't suitable in the companion of dragons." He said, "not that riding anytime some will be comfortable at all, I imagine his bum to be black and blue before nightfall." Gnol spurred his horse to go a little faster to aid Duncan in finding his horse. If Duncan wouldn't find his horse they wouldn't be able to make it anywhere near the border within a day.

Alan grinned and half-bowed as far as he could. "Fortunately my dear lady, I'll be at your disposal to teach the fine art of rope-knotting-saddle-making-craft-stuff or whatever it is called. I'm sure we'll be able to get something decent finished this evening." It was only finding the right materials and a little imagination according to him. 

Terasivas turned to Linda [i]"Oh boy this is so great! Wait till I'm as big as Mercury tomorrow and than Alan can ride on me!"[/i] He looked Linda. [i]"I can carry you though, do you want me to carry you on my back?"[/i]

RedClaws glanced at Fiona. [i]"I recall that, pretty blinding on the wrong side."[/i] Crreessa stretched and started wondering about what kind of acrobatic stunts she could do on a flying dragon. As her thoughts started going towards a sychronised flying spectacle a warning growl of RedClaws made her stop her daydreams.
