"I think that's the intent, yes. Let's keep moving."

[Anastasia]

You walk along a forest path as Emily suddenly stops cold. "Er..."  she says aloud, blushing. "Well, that is...stop teasing me!" she blurts out.

Jarem stops at that, "Well, talking to yourself is fine if you're that good a conversationalist, Princess," he remarks. "Someone contacting your mind?"

Ianvasah frowns, "Who is it or have you slipped back into childhood?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"I'm sure it's some fey trying to play a trick. Share if you want, but let's continue on our way."

[Anastasia]

"Ah no, it's Lady Gwynharwyf," Emily says, "She heard about what I did from Waukeen, or well form Lliira, who heard it from Waukeen."

Ianvasah slows at that, "You speak of them like common gossips!"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa raises an eyebrow at Ianvasah, "They compete against each other using mortals and proxies for achievements, do they not? Sounds like gossiping to me. And don't forget, she's the daughter of Seira, so to her, they're guests at dinner."

[Anastasia]

"She's inviting us to a forest-library ahead, but..." Emily trails off, "It's dangerous and we'll have to fight. Anything slain here is in no danger so we need not worry about harming others, but we will have to fight."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Are we in danger if we're slain?"

[Anastasia]

"Well yes," Emily admits, "Lady Gwynharwyf represents war and battle, amid other things."

[Iron Dragoon]

"So anything we kill get a free pass, but we don't? Doesn't seem very balanced."

[Anastasia]

"We are asking for the favor," Emily remarks, "It's only polite."

Jarem clears his throat, "It is also a lead on a library. I'm not big on the unbalanced risk either, but you can't succeed without risking things."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm.. I suppose it is what it is, then. Please lead the way."

[Anastasia]

"Alright, let me explain a few things. While there are books, many living trees are also repositories of great knowledge. Please don't hurt any, so be careful if you sling magic like fireballs around." Emily explains, "In fact, avoiding fire would be best here."

"It's a forest, and one in full bloom. A fire is always a risk," Ianvasah says. "You would be wise to listen to her, Alyssa."

"I always thought forest fires were more common in the winter," Jarem remarks, checking his blade and shield in the meantime.

"They're the worst in the later winter or early spring, whenever the thaw and dry out happens, depending on the local climate." Ianvasah says, "All the fallen branches, leaves and the like makes natural kindling. A fire can happen in any season, and dryness or wetness too. A dry forest is a forest ready to burn. A wet forest is resistant."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well, we can avoid such a thing, I think."
