"Lorae, If you have two horses, use one to load the food on an ride the other. I summon my horse from the fabric of magic. Like, so...."

Once outside, Devon summons his horse then mounts up and points his horse twoards the city gates. "Ready when you are."

Loraesticks the food in a bag hanging across her shoulder. and heads outside.

"I do not need another horse."

When Driscoll magics his mount she swings lightly into the riding pad and they depart the city.

As they approach the camp they can hear the sounds the girls bathing in the nearby river.

"Breakfast, she calls out, as she dismounts and takes out the food she bought, just as warm and full of delicious smells as when she bagged it.

It was a goodly stream that flowed lazily on the chilly morn. Brianna found a shallow bank that lead to a sand spit left from spring waters near a bend in the stream. She quickly stripped down to just a chain holding a dagger stapped to her leg, and slipped full length into stream. It was coldly refreshing as she swam a few lengths and then moved to the shallower part of the stream near her clothes she used sand to scrub herself with especially her hands and feet. Then she submerged herself yet again scrubbing her hair with her hands, and just enjoyed floating on her back.

Brianna could have imagined that the feminine voices of her companions were Amazons and they had the day off before Autumn Harvest Day. Only they weren't and Brianna's practicality wouldn't let her pretend that they were. None-the-less they were good people. She turned around and watched the others bathe and enjoy the invigorating cold water.

When Brianna hears Lorae call out to them that she had breakfast for them, she rises from the stream she slips on a silk short chiton and gathers her gear. Among her own folk she would not have even bothered with donning her chiton.

Brianna first caught a whiff of bacon drifting from camp. She quicken her step and strides into there overnight campsite to see. Devon and Lorae were setting out food.

"AH good Breakfast."

On reaching the stream Soronuume strips down and steps into the cool waters. After wading into the deeper waters the wild elf dives and swims out a bit before returning to the shallower waters. She let the coolness of the waters wash over her.

Hearing Lorae call out to them Soronuume rises out of the stream. Her copper skin glistened slick from the waters and her dark curls clung to her in damp ringlets. Shaking some of the water from her hair the druid picked up her clothes to join the others. She let the light of the morning sun dry her before donning clothes and armor.

Alexandria walked smoothly with Brianna and Soronuume toward the stream in the early morning. The cool touch that it gave as it tickled her body with its cool embrace was very nice, and refreshing. Alexandria had not done this in a long time, and had almost forgot what natural water felt like as it coursed over the body. The world held many secrets, as she found out. But, she didn't need to know all. Only enough to serve Eilistraee.

When Lorae calls out, Alexandria jumps a bit. She had been so absorbed in the feel of the stream, she had not noticed her approach. The priestess walked out of the water, and began to don her clothing, not being embarrassed with Devon being there.

"Lorae, your kindness is, once again, unbelievable. To bring us food while we're outside... I thank you. What happenings went on in the city? Again, sorry for any trouble which I may have caused with the guard."

Lorae smiles at the priestess, "How is you little patient this morning. I see she is not longer in the haversack, so she must be better."

As the others eat she brings out the map that she had gotten in Ashbenford.

Brianna takes up the offered food. Thick slabs of crispy smoked bacon, rolls still warm from the oven, cool creamy butter, and cherry preserves, Lorae had brought the whole pot of that. hot hard boiled eggs, cheese, and a few sweet treats. And a pitcher of Ale. IT couldn't be better than this. The day already promised to be fair and warm but it was still quite nice in the morning.

"We need to get moving won't get to where we need until we get moving." Brianna comments between bites.

When Lorae and Alexandria come back into camp Brianna suddenly remember the extra stuff they had gathered when they fought the drow. Lots of useful things.

"Hey Lorae we need to bring out some of the stuff we took there might be things that Devon Soronuume and Alexandria could use. Better thatn it just doing nothing in the bag."

The druidess finished donning her armor, the leaf made material once again hugging the curves of her body. After buttoning the last wooden clasp she moved to the breakfast and thanked Lorae and Devon for providing the meal. Soronuume plucked up a few pieces of raw sweet fruit, grateful that some of what lay there remained as it had been born from the land. Her oaths to the wild did not prevent her from eating meats, cheeses, and cooked foods, but it felt almost unnatural to her to eat anything but the raw fruits found in the wild.

Taking a bite of a sun ripened plum the wild elf sat next to Xu and stroked the panther's head. The cat growled lowly longing to move back into the wilderness, but she soon closed her eyes and enjoyed the friendly petting.

Soronuume's ears perked up at the mention of a battle with drow. Likely the drow priestess would take some issue with that. If the woman was going to walk on the surface she would have to learn that the drow had earned their reputation and revulsion. She knew there were some among the drow who fought Lolth and their dark ways, she had even walked by their side but it would take more than a night under the stars for her to trust one of the dark cousins. Well regardless the dark elf's reaction Brianna was offering them gifts, there might well be something that did not hold the taint of the underdark. If she found something she could use she would most gladly and graciously accept.

Alexandria looks around, attempting to locate both Precious and Flame. However, she is unable to see them from her location. "Lorae, if I knew their exact condition I would tell you... However, they seem to be quite the elusive pair, and are escaping my vision. That they can do that, however, gives me a good indication that they are doing quite well. Precious seemed to be recovering quite well."

At Brianna's mention of good and equipment that they have, Alexandria shrugs slightly. "Much of my equipment is good as it is. I will look at what you have, but I do not expect you to have anything I have dire need of."

However, then something that she had missed before while looking for the two Pseudodragons. "You fought my people? Did you give them the chance for repentance that they deserved? The chance to walk in the light with Eilistraee? Or was it simply a slaughter like how they act because of their blindness?"

Lorae begins to take things out of her bag and lay they on someone bedroll.

Brianna suddenly realized just how her rather bald statements might mean to Alexandria.

"I am sorry about spilling that out without explaining first. I sometimes tend to be blunt."

"It was a case of Drow fighting Drow that we happened upon. One group had wrested a young girl from her family and were dragging her off as a sacrifice for Lolth. We intervened to stop that and were attack by the Drow who follow Lolth. The other we found out later were fleeing from them as they worshiped Elistraee."

"We only took what the evil drow had on them and left the good drow with their own things."

"There are also to magical blades I carry two in my bag they are mithral scimitars. One is +3 and the other one is dancing, but I can't remember which one though. Because of that it might be good for a magic user or a cleric since you can just let it do it thing. The handy haversack if very useful item as well."

Brianna brings out the two scimitars that she mentioned. Both masterwork weapons

Devon looks over the items and his eyes brighten at the sight of a wand of levitation and a ring of the ram.

"These look interesting, may I use them?"

If you can use them certainly, Anything for you Alexandria, and how about you Soronuume.

Other arrivals to the unveiling of goodies:

Precious flies back a bit tardily form the pool of water and lands on Alexandria's shoulder curling her tail around her neck hanging on to a lock of hair to steady herself and when content letting go.

She sees the things that Lorae had laid out and the swords that Brinna pulled out.

"Ooooo, magic," Precious whispers softly into Alexandria's ear.

"Nice,"

Flane came flying in and did an almost reverse flip in the air and dived for the pile of magic and other items

He grabbed up a ring. "Mine. Mine. Mine, I found it."

Brianna walks over and gaarps him by the scruff of the neck and gently. No, I don't think so. Some of this is Vatta's and if that is what you have, you can't have it.

Flame;s head droop, he looks so patheritc, something is is very practice at.

"No?" Flame ask dejectedly.

"No," Brianna states simply and goes to pull the ring away which Flame is very reluctant to release until she quickly blow into his ear fan. He is so distracted he lets go. the ring back for now.

"Bad Brianna," Flame pouts

Ignoring the Flame's remarks Brianna turns back to Alexandria, and Soronuume,"I know both You both use magic wands too. Please look over what is here and if you can use it take it for now. Later if we get more you can always trade what you get for what you can use better."

Soronuume looked over the gear Lorae had laid out. She picked up the Wand of Delay Poison and ran a hand along its length.

Holding up the wand she said, "I will take this if it pleases. It will be helpful to have the wand readily on hand."

Devon puts on the ring and at first it was too big but magically sizes itself his finger. He tucks the wand into his vest after inspecting the intricate designs along the shaft.

"Flame, not that I know you all too well, but what on Faerun would you need with a ring?"

He kind of rolls his eyes in the small dragon's direction with an amused smirk on his face.

"So what's next on the agenda?"
