glances over his shoulder at the servant with North. ¡°If anyone wishes us troubles, that should keep them off our true destination,¡± he says, giving Flynn a knowing nod. ¡°We¡¯ll start of going Northwest, as if to the Hollow, but once outside the city we will

North dismissed the charmed servant and asks the creature why it is here.
¡°It is here to be broken of its habit of hunting men for sport,¡±?a strong male voice says from the doorway as a tall human male soldier enters
with Tobby and Cerina.

late day sun. He has a full beard mottled in black and grey, giving him the appearance of about 50 years age. He is wearing a pale, sheer cloak similar to the ones now worn by Tabby and Cerina, with his cowl draped back off his head.
(OOC- Tabby and Cerina can continue posting in the shopping thread if they have more to do. I just wanted to get the group together again so nobody loses interest.)

North frowns at the sight. He sees an odd ball. Something that may never fit it. And he knows it did not choose to be this way.; It either just is, or was made this way possibly against it's will.

Leaning in, North sees more clearly the horrible appearance of what can only be a desert leucrotta. The stench is more off-putting than the characteristics, such as the glowing red eyes, constant

contributes to its hodgepodge physical structure. Its generally ghoulish appearance is furthered by its skeletal shadow in the late day sun. Close inspection gives it less of a Lion appearance and more of a monstrous failed Wizard experiment.

Time: Late Afternoon
After several hours in town, North returns to the Astorio Manor. He finds Flynn there preparing for their departure, and shortly thereafter Sweet William arrives as well.
The stable is large with a dozen stalls on each side of a surprisingly clean walkway. The left side stalls have camels and domesticated hybrid camelorps (a type of short necked camel milked like a cow), and the right side stalls have more exotic creatures
such as ostrich, horses, an elephant, and something resembling a type of gold and orange striped lion with six legs.
Just outside the stables, four camels have been hooked up to draft sleds. The sleds are piled high with rations, waterkins, and folded yurts, amongst other supplies.

After several hours in town, North returns to the Astorio Manor. He finds Flynn there preparing for their departure, and shortly thereafter Sweet William arrives as well.
The stable is large with a dozen stalls on each side of a surprisingly clean walkway. The left side stalls have camels and domesticated hybrid camelorps (a type of short necked camel milked like a cow), and the right side stalls have more exotic creatures
such as ostrich, horses, an elephant, and something resembling a type of gold and orange striped lion with six legs.
Just outside the stables, four camels have been hooked up to draft sleds. The sleds are piled high with rations, waterkins, and folded yurts, amongst other supplies.

North frowns at the sight. He sees an odd ball. Something that may never fit it. And he knows it did not choose to be this way.; It either just is, or was made this way possibly against it's will.
"Who are you?" He asks.
