'I trust someone would have noticed if the tracks were days older than the fire. Even I can tell that, unless someone went through a lot of trouble to build a fire without disturbing tracks.'


When Anavren starts talking about stealing horses, Elscene shouts 'WHAT?!!?,' before abashedly settling back and, speaking quieter, continues. 'I'm not going to steal a horse! Even if the paladin were willing to go along with such a hare-brained idea, I want nothing to do with it. Maybe the Canon's writ will get us horses, although you think he might have told us that back in Mitrik if that were the case ... but stealing them? We'll end up in the stockades, and that'll really help the Canon!

'I agree that we need to be wary of this other party until we know their motives and why they're looking for him, but I also think we should keep in mind that they could just be from somewhere else that needs the Healer's special power and found out about him somehow.'

When Acea speaks, Elscene comments 'If this turns to theiving horses, I'm afraid I cannot see my way to continue, either. I don't have any interest in becoming a common theif.'
