She looks more sickly than before as if it’s draining her life essence. She apologizes profusely. A knight opens the curtain and asks if she is ok. She assures them but they recognize her current condition and that she needs rest. 

She gives her thanks and says she will write them as new information becomes available. 

the knight is joined by another and helps the queen to her carriage  

Flores as you ask that, there is a blast of energy which shakes the building slightly. As you see a knight rush to a side room, the bartender points there and says “There! You are needed there. “

(Rolling back time a couple moments)

As you enter the room she says to you “Ah, the final member of the party. They will fill you in. Good luck adventures. “

With the queen having left Tendilius says, "I'm no doctor but I have a feeling wounds sending a pulse of energy out aren't normal." To Tybitha he says, "Have you ever seen such a thing in your ministry?"

Addressing Tristan he says, "I'm glad you're alright, good sir. But pray tell what is your name? I'm Tendilius." Turning the newly arrived half-elf [Flores] he says, "And forgive me but I don't know your name either."

Flores beams a radiant smile. "I am Flores. Apologies for being a little late - I had unattended business to resolve, but that is all behind me and you and the rest of the group have my full attention. If someone could fill me in as we...well, do whatever we're about to do, then I won't delay us any further."

[ooc] No need to recite chapter and verse, as long as someone says they will tell Flores, then I can't meta game - thanks 

Tristan dodges the blast as quick as possible and just stands staring clearly analyzing what happen “A mix of both natural and magical energies…interesting.”

Tristan just holds out his hand “Tristan, pleasure to meet you all.” He then looks to Flores and smiles “Pleasure, seems we are investigating a blight that is coming over the land on behalf of the queen. The Redeemer sure has a sense of humor.” The last part of his comment fading away as if more for himself than the group.

"The Redeemer," says Tendilius, "Would you be part of the temple here in Onadbyr by any chance?"

Tristan just shake his head "No, just a follower." he says "Do you have a connection with the Redeemer as well?"

(Is there anything further you'd like to discuss with the party? Next is we can role play out going to the store (if you need anything) or we can head out.)

"No more than your average man." says Tendilius in reply to Tristan. "For a deeper discussion though, I'd probably recommend a chat with Tybitha. Her connection is more to the god of light, but perhaps you'll find some interesting discussion."

[[OOC: not thinking of anything in particular yet for purchase]]

(Let’s go ahead and start traveling)

Tristan nods as he looks at the man "Sounds like it would be fun conversation. I'm like you though so hopefully I'd be able to keep her entertained with conversation." he says as he just finishes his drink "I'd be curious to learn more about you all as well as we travel."

Flores waves an arm in the direction of the inn's entrance. "You'll forgive me if I don't lead the way, but I suspect you know more about where we're headed than I. And I for one am eager to get going." In truth, Flores did not like to stay still for longer than was absolutely necessary - and inns were frequented by so many people, you never knew who was watching you.

Crow says in a flat monotone voice  "I can lead the way."

As you head out of the city and onto the road you are met with other travelers; adventures, vendors with various wares and farmers bringing items to market. 

Please roll a group perception check (everyone rolls and the highest is what counts)

Perception: 8

perception: 15+2 = 17

Perception: 20

As the parade of folks go by, you see one farmer brining their produce to market but it is covered up, which you find unusual. 

16

One of the vegetables, which appears to be a bunch of asparagus, falls to ground. As you look, it is discolored, which looks familiar to you in a way.

Tendilius sidles up on his horse and glances at the asparagus to see what he can gather.

Nature: 11+2 = 13

After examining the asparagus he dismounts and says, "Hello, good sir. Might I be able to see your vegetables?"

//making introductory pleasures with hope of possiblity some group examination of the wares and purchasing some for further study
