"oh right! let me introduce my friends! playing with those dogs is the charming and ever jolly Angel, who has personally saved my life several times. none can match him in hand to hand combat!
Wild, fierce, and noble Marav! who's bite is worse than his bark when he takes the form of a great wolf! there are few I trust more.
Brave, stalwart, and mighty Flint! he is as unwavering as his faith and his affection for ale (in very responsible and reasonable amounts). He has been our shield, and hammer, through many a battle.
last, but by no means leas't is the cunning and clever Quill with her companion and not a wizard (maybe a sorcerer of some kind we aren't sure) Ink! Quill has sacrificed life and limb aiding us in battle, and has given us timely warnings of danger. when battle is met Ink does not hesitate to join the fray with his bladesong and mighty magics of a none wizard variety!
together they form my merry band of heroes! We shall find my parents, and i swear to you and all who dwell in the celestial planes i will bring back our son, and daughter! besides i have to tell little Kara i did as she asked, and Roony's dagger has come in quite handy"
Sarah the halfling looks to each of you in turn, her face reddening with embarrassement after her outbursts. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you," she says.
"Well met Sarah." Flint looks to each of his companions then back to Rip. "Sure'n we'll find yer family lad, ah'm wit ye, an' is sounds like th' rest are in as well. Do we stay here th' night an' set out fresh on th' morrow or just hit the east road an' plan as we go? Ah'm fine either way. An ah still mean ta see this ring ta Citadel Feldbarr."
Marav looks up suddenly, "Rip, do they have any jewelry, rings, necklaces, etc." He nods at the bag of holding... "We have the rod. I can track them until we get close, then use the rod."
"Rip you could use the divining rod as Marav suggested, but for items such as the doll that Sarah described, it's only good for about a mile radius. We'd need to get closer and likely still use traditional means of tracking."
"Understood. Lets get moving then. My dearest Sarah, our happy reunion must be delayed for now but i will return and for longer next time!" Rip then does the cliche twirl kiss thing
Marav goes up to Sarah before we leave and hands her 20 gold pieces. "Get a good room, we will be back."
She doesn't accept. "Please, I can earn my keep," she says gently but firmly. "You keep it. I don't want you to waste any resources that could help bring my children back."
// FYI, while on the road, Ink will cast mage armor twice a day, at dawn and then when it runs out eight hours later. He'll don his leather armor to sleep in it, and doff it every morning once he's done preparing his spells for the day. //
Sarah waves goodbye, watching as you continue on back towards the Evermoor Way.
// Flint mentioned wanting to check in with the Waterbaron—is this still something you want to do, or are you wanting to press on? //
//Not if Rip is ready to hit the road. Was just going to check in with him for rumors and news and to get an idea if flint could trust him enough to safeguard the ring.//
It doesn't take long to reach the eastern gate of Yartar. Beyond the city walls, the Evermoor Way quickly transitions from a stone path to a gravel road.
The guard at the gates nods as you pass. "Careful out there," he warns. "Been getting reports of giant attacks on villages, and of course the Uthgardts have been a problem for months."
"I'll help you Rip but, someone please tell me. Who is James?"
Angel asks around still confused on who James is.
//I know who James is. Angel doesn't. Just to clarify//

Ink smiles wryly and then Quill lands on Rip's shoulder and coos rubbing her face to his.
Ink observes her actions with a raised eyebrow.

"Pleasure meeting you, Sarah," Ink says with his awkward flourish.
On hearing Flint's resolve, Ink nods along in agreement.
