Start of the Dream

[Carthrat]

"Probably somewhere at the bottom of the ocean," grouses Tom. "Bah, we can't worry about that now."

[Rezantis]

> Ah, that makes sense then.  It didn't occur to me that the other wards might protect us.

> Got any idea what we might be expecting inside the fire dream, then?

[Brian]

> Personally?  High technology.  It's the Advancement Realm.  What it'll actually be like ... I'm not sure.  If you're lucky, you won't have to start or stop a war.  Maybe you'll get off easy, and only need to cure cancer.

> Saving the world is sure a lot of work, huh?

[Bjorn]

"Not me," says Bjorn.

[Dracos]

"Anyhow, if we're decided, let's get planned and moving."

Dracos

[Brian]

"So," Jim asks, when no one seems to offer any suggestions, "what is your plan, anyway?  Far as I can figure, you guys are in charge...."

[Rezantis]

"Fuji, through the shadow trick, fast as we can.  Makes the most sense, I guess."

Nathan looks around the room for disagreement.

[Dracos]

"Let's do it." Dracos agreed.

Jim nods, and looks distant for a moment.  "Carlos will let him know to get ready," he says.  "He'll wait up in the mines here, since this is where it's darkest."

[Carthrat]

"Excellent. Any idea how long that'll be?" asks Tom, shrugging.

[Brian]

"Five, maybe ten minutes," Jim says with a shrug.  "You guys planning on leaving right this second?"

[Carthrat]

"I have no pressing business," admits Carthrat. "All I've got to do is grab my stuff, really. Or, well, take some stuff, and say it's mine."

[Dracos]

"Eh, get supplies together, make sure all is in order, and then head out."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Gear.  Arrows.  It's worth remembering that anything in the Warbag's available for temporary use once we get to where we're going.  And did Relm want to talk to me about something?  I can't remember."

Nathan rubs the side of his head.

"I have a headache."

[Brian]

"Talk to Wallace," Jim says.  "He'll clear up the pain, even if the stress is still there."
