[Group Escort] Recommended Worgans: 2|Autus

[Kender Bard]

"It's a stretch and I'm not specialized," Verity warned. "But I'll certainly do my best. If you don't mind..." She touched her Mind sign. "If you could focus on a memory of her that I can look at, it'll help with trying to find her. I'll mostly be groping blindly until I either find her or another Mind who can help me reach her."

[Darastrix]

Hat-ib nodded and clasped her hands together as she sifted through memories of her mother, settling on one of the most recent recollections: the last time her mother had come to Autus. "Thank you," she said quietly. "Her name is Ivy Epps."

[Kender Bard]

Verity touched her sign and whispered softly to herself as she cast out in hopes of finding the woman. She did brush up against the mind of another Mind first, though, and this man, having heard of Ivy, managed to assist Verity in bridging the gap. He withdrew once Verity's mind touched on Ivy's and learned its mental 'signature.'

~Ivy Epps?~ Verity inquired, to be sure and to be polite. ~My name is Verity Isoaeth. I'm in Autus and have just spoken with your daughter. She wants to know if you're doing all right.~

[Darastrix]

Worg's tits! It must be rough down south if it's taken this long for my letter to get there, Ivy thought. Or at least, I'm assuming that's why she's got a Mind looking for me. But yes, I'm fine, though we're in a mess in Ilyamen. The sooner she can send some of her healing water, the better.

[Kender Bard]

~She's doing one better~ Verity told Ivy. ~She's bringing a few Fists and another healer with her too.~

"Your mother is fine but she says that Ilyamen is a mess," Verity repeated to Hat-ib.

[Darastrix]

Hat-ib breathed out a sigh and closed her eyes briefly. "Thank the Forces," she murmured. "Give her my love." She might have asked Verity to say more, but she didn't want to put too much strain on the woman.

Really? I suppose I ought to give a token protest over her coming into this, but honestly, we need the help too much for me to try to dissuade her. Just tell her I love her and I hope to see her soon.

[Kender Bard]

~I shall~ Verity promised. ~She sends her love too.~ Breaking contact with her sign, she relayed the sentiment back to Hat-ib.

"Meet back here in a mark," Alice reminded them. She walked off and, after a moment, Iadyn followed after her.

[Darastrix]

Hat-ib inclined her head gratefully as Taxus headed off as well. "Thank you, priestess. I'm glad to know she's all right. I know you must need to collect your supplies; I'll return soon with my own pack."

[Kender Bard]

Once a mark and a little longer passes, the group is gathered up again, as planned.

"Will you be divining from Etaf how things go?" Alice asked of Verity.

Verity shrugged and shook her head. "I plan on praying for guidance on a number of things but I can't say if she will answer or not."

[Darastrix]

"Things'll go however we make 'em go," Taxus said, "whether it's good or bad. Are we all ready?"

"I am," Hat-ib replied, shifting her pack a little awkwardly on her shoulder.
