Reprise! Act 1!

[Ginnezumusha]

"And you aren't the type of person I'd expected to talk so much.  What, you like hearing your own self that much?"

[Rezantis]

Relm coughed loudly, interjecting.

"She does have a point, though - you were willing to take on a googlewyrm, and there's nothing in this forest much nastier than a bear."  She paused for a moment.  "I don't think there are any perpetually-open planar portals around, probably your best bet is finding a mage that specialises in that sort of thing . . ."

[Ginnezumusha]

"Err... where would one of those be?"

[Rezantis]

"Ah . . . you know, that's a damn good question.  There was Jeourdahn, but he died a few months back . . ."

[Ginnezumusha]

"See?  All the more reason to wander around with you people.  I don't have any freaking idea where I am."

[Carthrat]

"But who really knows where they are at any given time?" says Carthrat, cryptically. "You could be somewhere completely unexpected and you just havn't opened your inner sight!"

[Rezantis]

Relm shrugged.  "I don't really mind you tagging along with us, but . . . hm.  I know there are some . . .  I . . . ah, screw it.  I think you'd be wanting to go west anyway, because even if there was someone in the Capitol - which I doubt - we wouldn't be welcome there anyway.

[Ginnezumusha]

Ginn looked oddly at Carthrat for a minute, and before turning back to Relm.

"Errr... then where are you people going?"

[Carthrat]

"Why? Come'on, these union punks can't have *that* much influence," says Carthrat. "Not that it matters, it's not like any of them can fight."

[Rezantis]

"Well, let me rephrase.  You might be welcome there.  It's more the mage guild idiots, actually."

[Carthrat]

"Oh. Oh well," shrugs Carthrat. "Dosn't really matter, seeing as we're not going there."

[Rezantis]

"Well, I was going to go and see my brother, since I'm in the area anyway.  This person," she pointed a thumb at Carthrat "decided to tag along."

[Ginnezumusha]

"Well, this person,"  Ginn pointed at himself, "Also decideds to tag along for a bit.  Who knows, maybe your brother can recommend something."

[Rezantis]

"Maybe," Relm replied standoffishly, before cocking her head at the newcomer, "hey . . . did you bring any food with you?"

[Ginnezumusha]

Ginn casts create food and water, which makes food and water (jerky, bread, and water in skins) appear nearby on a blanket.
