(Cal)
?Cal was not at all thinking this through as he
was frowning.? He knew he needed to
go.? It made no sense, cities don¡¯t just
appear out of thin air.? ¡°So there is no
emissary or no contact with the people there??
The flash of light came from there as well so what is to make of that
unless we¡I go and check it out?¡±? He
gazed upon her pondering this.? His mind
wondering what magic might have brought across an entire city if this report
was to be believed and what kind of foreboding did this entail?
How
far
is it?¡±? He was glad they had elven
contacts, but he wasn¡¯t sure if they would be friendly to him just going
in and
asking questions.? The city had all but
taken over, he was lost on what that alone might have meant for the
habitat and
vegetation?? ¡°I can set off in the
morning.¡±? He looked at the map for any
potential Ley Line contingency cause it might be a long trek otherwise
and needing to run away on a tired horse was no idea of fun for him.
¡°Do you have a place for me to stay for the evening?¡±? He asked the politeness in his tone apparent.

(New) "Well we aren't a full tavern by any stretch," she smiled, "but we do have accommodations for fellow countrymen who want to avoid prying eyes." Examining the finely detailed map, if the rough coordinates were reasonably accurate, the distance was about a hundred miles, give or take.? Not the easiest hundred miles either.? There were no direct roads going that direction, which meant hiking through incredibly dense forest and all the joys that entailed.? He could make it easier on himself by taking passage on one of the trawlers going north, but it was almost as slow. Fortune must've been smiling on him.? As it happened, there was a minor ley line that crossed with a more powerful line of power leading directly north.? It didn't quite make it all the way there (and with the story of a city plopping down right where an extremely powerful ley line nexus lay further north of that, it was probably a good thing), but it meant turning a trek of a week or more into a day's hike, give or take.
The only drawback?? The elves would instantly know such travel was in use.? They claimed the forest and were intimately aware of the ley lines within.? They probably knew of lines he didn't know about.? That said, the elves were allied with the Queen of the Sword's cause, so there was that to consider. "Tonight's dinner is beriani dajaj," the lovely agent/restauranteur announced.? "If you would prefer something else, either my father or I can be of service to you." (tag)
