Peter will spend some time drilling with the sword.

They're probably going to end up as poor villagers, but they don't seem to be in a state of conflict.

Peter ponders if there is something he can do to help them... He will try and keep an eye on them in his dreams until he comes up with something.

No Effect.

Not surprising!

___________________

Peter thinks about Bryan, the dreamer Detective Barnes told him about who might still be out there... he tried to find him in his dreams once before, he decides to try again now. Maybe he's here, and Peter couldn't pick up on him through the 'sargasso'.

He will see alss try to see if his Visions can seek out the dragon that is Ink Thur's quarry and get them a clue to it's whereabouts.

And finally, he will see if he can hone back in in Ink Thur. He can see what he's up to, or report if they re able to communicate.

Rajat: "We had a good supply of gold in the conveyor, yes. We try not to throw it around willy-nilly, but homeline can afford it easily.

Peter will spend some time drilling with the sword.

Maybe he'll get a point in it soon!

He doesn't get anything about Bryan.

He will see alss try to see if his Visions can seek out the dragon that is Ink Thur's quarry and get them a clue to it's whereabouts.

He dreams of a dry brown mountain range with occasional white tips.

And finally, he will see if he can hone back in in Ink Thur. He can see what he's up to, or report if they re able to communicate.

Ink Thur is getting a good night's rest in a nice bed. Zooming out, he's in a town where the river meets the ocean. Peter is unable to start the communication. At least not through his dream this way.

"That's handy, going to a world flush like that... And I get to show up in my birthday suit. I usually have to scrounge for everything... I'd love to show up with a bankroll!"

Peter will search the skies and mountaintops for signs and see if he can hone in further. He keeps an eye out for any unique features and/or formations that might help him find this place. Peter concentrates and reaches out with his magic sense to see if he can feel anything churning in the area. His imagination runs away... Could he have a Den with a dragon-horde like the stories? Is it an ancient creature, running around for centuries?

Ann: "Yes, your method of showing up naked is unusual. As I said, I'd love to get you to talk to some other jumpers I know. See if they can help you with your technique. Though somehow you bring that dog." She pets the beast, who seems to know he was spoken to.

Rajat: "Spending money too freely can cause problems though."

all Mountains have a distinct shape... but how to convey the lines without drawing them? He does notice a bare round peak between a tall sharp snowy peak and a flat snowy peak. sort of. Its all the same ridge-line. And its still day there, though the sun is setting: the ridge runs north.


He can feel a few different deep sources of magic, deep beneath peaks, far away from him, and far away from each other. But that's as far as he gets.

"Have you known many? I found out there are at a few from my world, but I haven't met one."

Rajat: "Spending money too freely can cause problems though."

"awww . I get it might draw too much attention, but it would be nice to travel in style."

The next day, Peter helps them make the best time they can!

Ann: "I know a few. I'm acquaintances with a lot more. Remember I work at Paralabs. I'm not supposed to be out here in the field. Are the other jumpers from your world like you?"

"awww . I get it might draw too much attention, but it would be nice to travel in style."

Rajat: "That's what vacations are for. On the job, we live like the locals."
Ann: "You do, at least."
Rajat: "And you normally sit at a desk. The walking has its charms doesn't it? If you leave out the mages."
Ann: "Yes, its nice to have a break. I miss my desk though. And my chair."

The next day, Peter helps them make the best time they can!

It is a few days to Tedroy, but they make it there without more fuss. Now its time to decide what to do with the tracker. And Leon wants to go ahead to try and find their allies.


Any actions during that march?

"Yeah, I found out I'm not the first. I've never met one, but I've heard some very secret stories."

"I could use a cushy vacation. I miss my bed."

Peter will practice his martial skills with Rajat if the opportunity arrives, and he will practice his seeking spells to continue to get the hang of them and help them find water as needed.

Peter will break the wax seal and end the tracking spell when they get to the outskirts of Tedroy, letting his benefactors know he's arrived.

He sticks with the group, anxious to get them to their people to hopefully make some new friends and arrange Incarius' Introduction. Peter is excited to meet the mages of the city, but would like to try and compete his other business first.

"Do they all jump without their clothes? who did you hear the stories from"

Rajat: "There's no place like home. lets get home!"

Noted. That's a few hours each day, I think.

They're probably disappointed, but that contingency was arranged for.

They find an inn on the east side of the city (they came from the south) and settle down to wait while Leon goes looking.

The city has a lot of little magic flickering in it. Some is mages, some is enchantments. He has never felt this kind of variety in magic before.


Rajat cautions this could be the hardest part of the journey: they don't know how their contacts in this city have been doing, or if they're run into trouble, or even the current name of their business.


The city also has a lot of people who don't look like bog-standard humans. Peter spots lots of what must be goblins, two kinds of short dwarvish people (one thin, one very stocky), an elf or two, and even a sort of lizard-person.

"I never asked actually. I jut kind of assumed. I heard about it from a law enforcement type guy who was a friend of my family."

They're probably disappointed, but that contingency was arranged for.

It was Peter's stated course of action.

They find an inn on the east side of the city (they came from the south) and settle down to wait while Leon goes looking.

The city has a lot of little magic flickering in it. Some is mages, some is enchantments. He has never felt this kind of variety in magic before.

"This is pretty amazing. I have got to have a look around! Can I come with you Leon?"

Probably more likely Rajat would look after Peter if he wants to look around and they let him, but he gives it a shot.

Rajat cautions this could be the hardest part of the journey: they don't know how their contacts in this city have been doing, or if they're run into trouble, or even the current name of their business.

"How is Leon gonna find them then?"

The city also has a lot of people who don't look like bog-standard humans. Peter spots lots of what must be goblins, two kinds of short dwarvish people (one thin, one very stocky), an elf or two, and even a sort of lizard-person.

Peter is likely to be caught staring as he takes it all in, focusing on one curiosity after another. He will flash a disarming smile if anyone starts to appear disturbed by his gaze when it lingers too long. He is curious to capture the languages of these people to see what they are like, but is wary to throw around alien magic in the city.

Ann: "And we don't know where you're from yet. Yeah, we need to have you as a guest at the lab."

"This is pretty amazing. I have got to have a look around! Can I come with you Leon?"

Leon: "No, You're the mostly likely for Incarius to be tracking, and its a tricky matter. But you can sure look around the place around here."

Probably more likely Rajat would look after Peter if he wants to look around and they let him, but he gives it a shot.

Rajat and Ann both would like to go out and visit this city: They don't have much experience with this sort of place either. All three of them go out to enjoy the city.

"How is Leon gonna find them then?"

Rajat: "Subtle marks on signs. And naming conventions. And maybe he won't. We'll see."

A lot of people are using the local Anglish. There seem to be a couple of others that get thrown around as well. Arabic, maybe?



They try some new foods, and Ann makes a quiet comment about wanting a hidden camera. Rajat assures her that people have seen this all before.



Leon comes back late at night, telling them he's found the place.
