The second seal (Moore)

[Anastasia]

Cool. Any preferences on who you bring?

[Nephrite]

I suppose someone more geared for healing would probably round out the group the best. Moore can do it, but isn't great at it, and Dana just smashes things. So maybe Balyss if she wanted to go?

[Anastasia]

You find Balyss in her quarters. On knocking the door opens just enough for her head to poke out, "Oh, it's you two. Hold on, I'm not decent." The door's closed again, Dana rolling her eyes and muttering something. Soon enough the door opens fully, Balyss wrapped in a fluffy robe, with the back cut out for her wings, which wrap around her.

"So I got a vision that I needed to clean my closet out and see what parts of my wardrobe need replacing. I was going to head out to take care of some personal business," Balyss goes back to her closet and shuts the door, "So I assumed something would happen to justify it. Selune smiles on your venture, whatever it's going to be."

[Nephrite]

Moore blinks, then laughs a bit. "Selune must care a lot about your clothing options, then. Dana and I are going to a new prime world to investigate a few things that might lead us to a new ally for Aurora. I'm not exactly sure how long the excursion will be, but I can get us there and back if we need to return before our operation is through." He explains.

[Anastasia]

"I doubt she does at all, this was just her way of having me be here. I accept." Balyss says. "Give me some time to get ready, pray and get my armor on."

"And bind those udders," Dana rolls her eyes, "Shit, with those you're like...OW!" Dana says as Balyss casually hurls a stone paperweight at her, right off her head. Dana grins, "Shiiiiit, why the fuck didn't you just say you wanted me to shut the fuck up?"

"Ahem," Balyss says, "When do you want to leave, Moore?"

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles and then glances between the two, stifling another laugh. "We'll wait for you in the courtyard." He says. "Whenever you're ready to go, we'll leave."

[Anastasia]

Any other prep then?

[Nephrite]

Nope, just the arch and a feast and we're off. For Gate I'm just going to try and get as close to a big city (or whatever's an equivalent) for Samgan and wing it from there.

[Anastasia]

So basically just close to a big city then, no more precise than that?

[Nephrite]

He'll think about the Buried Prince during it, but that's about all he has to go on at the moment.

[Anastasia]

All around you are rolling plains. Trees shed their leaves slowly in a shower of red and gold. The air is cool and nippy, the embrace of autumn hinted at. You stand in a little grove not far from what looks to be a rising hill with a road atop it. You can see lots of foot traffic on it, as well as horses, donkeys and wagons.

Balyss stretches, "We're all going to stand out, so I don't think there's much point in being subtle."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "I agree. We may have even drawn attention already, depending on who's watching this area. Hopefully they've seen other races besides humans here." With that, Moore casts Lay of the Land to figure out where exactly they are and what's close by.

[Anastasia]

The immediate area ahead is the outer ring of a large, circular city called Samark. It dominates much of things around and a river bisects it, with the city on both sides of Allegas River. Beyond it there's major roads going in all for cardinal directions and lots of little towns and farms. That sort of thing.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "We're going into a city called Samark. At least we can know that much... let's see what happens." With that said, he'll lead the others to the main road and start following it towards Samark proper. Hopefully there's no "No fey" law or something...

[Anastasia]

You head to the road. Most of the people are humans on a glance, but you also see dwarves, a couple of elves and a couple of shorter humanoids you don't get a look at - as well as a pair of what looks like catfolk. Your appearance immediately gets attention, with the road being cleared before you. More than a few are also quietly murmuring arcane words, clearly casting spells.

A chance to react to the spellcasting if you want to, be it an interruption, Spellcraft or something else.
