PC just exited this plane of existence. Posts might be slow. The ritualist has been contacted and is communing with the spirits. Hopefully it'll be resolved soon.

Ilinfer followed the knight, listening closely what he had to say. So they were heading to Astipor. When she wasn't mistaken it lay one and a half days north of the capital. The knight adjusted his belt and Ilinfer thought it to obvious for she immediately noticed the beautiful however strange sword in his holster. This man was a noble through and through – only they could wear these kind of exquisite and delicate swords. Her eyes fell upon her own sword: a traditional northern blade, flattened to fit between two ribs, sharpener at both sides of the blade, a leather piece wrapped around the hilt to give it a better grip. It was a good sword that had served her well until now. But sometimes she did envy the weapons of others that didn't just look prettier but were better balanced and often lighter than her own.

With a sigh she followed as he began to jog, keeping up the pace easily. At his next words she actually gave him a surprised glance. He was planning on taking the horses on board a ship and then through a desert. And he was absolutely right: Epona would probably die on the ship due to seasickness. She would have to leave her beloved horse with a member of the guild here in the capital. The warrior even had a contact, but it would take a while to find the person since she didn't know her way around here.
Another frown darkened the features of the black haired woman as he said they could board for nothing. Did he have that much influence? That was really impressive and Ilinfer decided to watch her back around the man. One could never know what madness came with power. Her swords-master had taught her that. The smile he gave her was returned. “I will have to take care of my horse. I can't just leave her in some stable!” Like every northern warrior she took pride in her horse who was her best companion in battle. Not that she had ever experienced an actual battle, but she had been trained for it and thought herself quite a good swordsman and rider.

A sigh left her lips. “Where are we heading to?” Now she realized she hadn't asked that before. Why not? Had she been so mesmerized by this city? Looking around confirmed this thought. Yes, the surroundings were spectacular! Behind her the high towers of the castle, before her an almost endless staircase leading down into the city, around her levels of gardens with plants she had never before seen. The view onto Eleusis was spectacular and almost took her breath away. It was huge! How ever would she find the person to take care of Epone in this nest of humans rushing to and fro like fish in a tiny pond?
@Mahz Thank you! :)
I see. Poor Mahz. He has so much to do.

Is there any way of helping?
Oh. So I can't change my password myself? OK . . .
Hello. :)

Could someone help me?
Thank you!

OK ^^
Just wanted to let you know ;)
The Knight continued his stroll and Ilinfer followed slightly irritated. What was it with nobles and strolling conversations? At least he wouldn't be able to run away on the ship. The decent to the street lev l was a long one. For the normally all about business warrior the pace was painstakingly slow. She thought about the months to come and once again was itching for a fight. She felt aggressive. Perhaps a fist brawl with a drunken sailor? Yes, that sounded like just the thing she needed to help her focus on the task ahead. The last months had been difficult. Death had taken its toll on her family and with two people less working to supply those who needed it times had been rough. Not wanting to go any further to that dark and lonely place in her head she turned her face towards the knight whos name was still unknown to her. He was talking about horses and riding east before taking a ship. Ilinfer wasn't as informed as he seemed to be, so she just nodded. "I don't know a lot about ships myself, but I don't mind a long horse ride either. So if you think its best let's do it that way." The grey eyed woman smiled openly at the thought of riding at a neck breaking speed for several days. "I have a horse that was trained for battle and is in good condition. She shouldn't have any problems with long distances." To herself she thought her Epona was the most beautiful and talented horse in the country, but she didn't speak these thoughts out loud - it would be a bit too childish for a grown warrior. As they descended further towards the packed streets Ilinfer started packing hr backpack in her mind, listing everything they would need. First of all they would need supplies such as dried meat and fruit, water . . . "We should get some rations . . . " she fell silent as a lady stepped onto the stairs, coming from a lower level of the garden. Ilinfer bowed her head slightly, not quite sure what was expected of her in this kind of situation. In return the lady glared at her with disgust and marched on, he nose high, not acknowledging the knight. How charming! "As I was saying: I think we should get supplies. When are you planning on leaving? I just want o know if I should look for an accommodation for the night or not. Most taverns will probably be filled already." If she was lucky she would get a small corner to rest for a copper or two. That was not including the meal. That was all she could afford at the moment. Luckily their contracted was willing to pay for the journey.
Hi there. Sorry, the round was epic! And so exciting I didn't get to start the post. I'll start working on it tomorrow.
