Acea strums on her harp as she listens to Anavren speak. She listens to him talk about moving fasters and thinks, I wonder how he expects us to do that, I for one sure cannot afford a mount, and I have a feeling a number of the others here can't either. As for walking we have gone quite a distance in 2 days and I would not say we are moving slowly.. She continues to strum on her harp before speaking as diplomatically as she can, "How exactly do you propose we move faster? We have covered over 50 miles in two days. I for one know that I cannot afford a horse and all the equiptment that goes with them. Also unless the 6 riders can be in two places at once, these people claiming to be on the mission as we are cannot be the same as those that were at the campfire we found. Since the fire was still warm this morning when we passed it, and the guards mentioned the people arriving here last night. Unless they spent the night here then rode back to make it appear they spent the night slightly ahead of us, we know nothing about this other group except what the guards tell us." Acea shrugs her shoulders since she thought walking over 50 miles in 2 days was a rather fast pace, and since she cannot see a way to increase the parties pace without buying anmals that she is sure half the party probably can ill-afford. "As for this other group, I do think we will have to deal with them sooner or later, and by claiming to be sent by the Canon, I doubt they are up to good. However, they might have just got the thought of glory and fame and money into their head and decided to go out searchig for the Healer for the Canon, without his approval as well. There is still no way to tell if they are good or evil at this point in time, so I would prefer to talk first shoot later, but again that is up to whatever the party decides." Acea then turns back to her harp and continues to play out complex melodies on it.


ooc: Sorry if I messed up your plot there shadow :) . But if you want the 6 horsemen to be the other party, they couldn't have spent last night in town, since they spent it right outside the inn :) .

Looking at Acea you see a small elven female. She has piercing green eyes and deep brown hair. You notice that her eyes never seem to stay still and that she keeps close watch on the harp she has strung over her back.
