 I've finished my first reconnaissance, more or less, and after a week I hope that most of you have, as well.  Everyone who can should gather back in Liminal Space so that we can compare notes, and marshal our forces.  Everyone who can't... should let me know, so someone can retrieve them.

I don't suppose anyone has stumbled over the missing queen or her throne?

They were left behind.

[amadine]

I wish I could say that was surprising.

I'm sorry. They must have been friends of yours.

[protect_and_serve]

Colleagues and companions of long standing.

[amadine]

One becomes much like the other, it seems.

I didn't mean to step on old troubles. Just to ask which direction to head to find a way back.

[It's even mostly true, if in no small part because risking alienating people so early on seems, for the moment, pointless.]

[protect_and_serve]

Where are you now? I can direct you to the nearest portal, or I can come to you, if there is none.

[amadine]

North of the Heartgard Keep, south and east of the northmost river crossing.

[protect_and_serve]

Do you have a horse?

[amadine]

I do, yes. Which direction should I head, and who should I seek out?

[protect_and_serve]

North, towards the palace. I'm already coming to get a group in that area.

[amadine]

No detour at all, then.

Thank you.

[protect_and_serve]

It's part of my job.

[amadine]

Herding cats?

[protect_and_serve]

Cats would be a treat by comparison. And even Travelers are usually better than... my old charges.

[amadine]

Now there's a daunting thought, if we're so troublesome already.

[protect_and_serve]

The Cassiline Brotherhood are trained to defend royalty.

[amadine]

You must be right at home here, then.

[protect_and_serve]

Something like that.

[amadine]

I could almost swear you're trying to encourage curiousity.

...But I'll leave you to your own business regardless.
