Dalious walked side by side to Fyr as they followed Ashe out of the caves.  They were both covered in blood and walking at a somewhat frantic pace.

[Color=steelblue]"It is a fantastic looking axe, by the way,"[/color] Dal said, admiring the design of Fyr's weapon as they walked.  He observed the potions he took from the ghastly man's corpse not knowing what either of them were, then quickly skimmed through the dead man's journal briefly only seeing a bunch of nonsense in writings.  [color=steelblue]"Hmmm, no pictures.  The hell is the point then!?[/color]Dalious put it all away again back into his satchel.

When they approached Ashe, she had taken a pause and began asking the book Gwynaria had dropped a question.  To Dalious' surprise, a magical avatar formed from the pages and started to answer her.  Dalious raised a brow as he listened to the avatar of Gwenaria speak.  It clearly explained the story of Cicero and Gwen's problems, but more importantly to the pirate it said that it could answer only things that the real Gwenaria knew.

[color=steelblue]"Ok we clearly need to ask it questions as if it were Gwenaria, and so forth it shall speak her truth!"[/color] Dal spoke.  [Color=steelblue]"So book, what truly does Gwyn think about my singing voice??  She's never answered me outright and honestly I think she's avoiding me when I ask her."[/color]

His gaze shifted as he spoke, noticing a caravan of travellers approaching them in the distance.  He put his hand to his blade, using his free arm to nudge Fyr.
