Chat'cho shrugs, mostly indifferent to the offers of supplies.
"Wea*ons are mmostly worthless in mmy hands. I will likely *roxhe inadequate in any mmelee xhacing a determmined enemmy. Mmy only strengths are mmy s*ells and mmy abilities to *roxhide nourishmment to allies. Hence, all I request are enough comm*onents to cast mmy mmore demmanding s*ells should the need xhor themm arise."
She seems totally unconcerned by the danger the Aarakocra is in. Chat'cho took her for some sort of hotshot--there's probably no trouble she can't get herself out of.

The request for Captain Syndic is denied. However, The Presider does add, "He is needed here, however... if you were to find yourself in dire straits, we can attempt an extraction for your party, depending on the amount of time we have to react. We would need to have an exact idea of your location though. As well as the approximate numbers and make up of those that oppose you. So keep in touch. With that in mind, tomorrow, as we send you off, Akos will mentally contact you (and vice versa). He is to be the medium for your communication with Kurn."
Pause.
"I do emphasize that it takes time for us to react. It is better to get captured and buy time, than it is for you to expect our immediate reprisal."
"If you leave a list of mundane beasts, gear and provisions with Kinnan, House Azeth will work on getting as much as humanly possible together for you before dawn."
The younger Tribunal nods in agreement.
It took a while, but it comes to Eslyk that the bugs that were described to her by Ande (through Quila) might be jalath’gak. She's seen them in the Tablelands, but they might be more common on the other side of the Ringing Mountains. The color and size gave it away (she thinks).

Meanwhile, Ande flies in lazy wide circles while waiting for her mental fortitude to replenish.

"I want to be there for our beguiling traveler's debrief."
The elf battlemage chills with his squad. Napping, interacting, meditating till Ande's return.

" Is the portal ETA still tomorrow evening? I estimate my return just after sun up to fit in a debrief, a proper meal, a nap and a bath hopefully before our glorious return. I know I am being watched, I believe the kreen on the ground are aware of me. Depending, I may need more time to refuel if I am engaged, perhaps we should dodge that stone if it is thrown and not before?" "Tell Ande we're joining her at SUNUP, 12 hours from now..." HurK says Quila nods at Hurk, "Done." |

Summarized list of mundane wants
Pack Animals & Mounts - crodlu (Niachi requested 'a few', Quila wants one as a mount)
- the biggest Inix and saddle (Hurk)
Weapons- 2 quivers of arrows (Niachi)
- 2 quivers of arrows (Quila)
- 2 quivers of arrows (Ande)
- some sturdy spears (Niachi for Coden)
- as much ranike sap (Hurk) as you can
- and chatkcha's (Hurk)
Rations- a ton barrel of water (Hurk)
- kank honey (Eslyk)
- dry meat (Eslyk)
- rations for all for a couple of days, including waterskins
Misc Gear- a few torches and firemaking kits (Niachi)
- rope (Eslyk) and more rope (also Eslyk)
- green colored blanket (Eslyk)
- herbal salves and remedies for insect stings (Niachi), or the materials to make them
- curatives to offset insect stings, poisons, and most importantly, paralytics (Quila)
- possibly, some samples of trade (Niachi) as well
Summarized list of less mundane wants
Perishables and consumables
- templar spell components (Ande, Quila)
- any scroll spells to affect multiple targets (Niachi)
- any scroll of protection spells (Niachi, Quila)
- potion fruits of flying (Niachi) for tactical support for Ande
Special items- bags of holding for each member (Hurk, but really the group as a whole) b/c you want to keep the pear tree hidden AND SAFE while traveling. Plus have room for extended duration supplies.
- psionic batteries for the psions (Ande, Eslyk, Hurk, Quila, and Roken) do I miss someone here? But we are in hostile territory until a truce is brokered and need all support we can get. Hurk will offer his psionic levitation medallion to sweeten the trade.
- sending stones for those without spell or psychic communication means (Hurk, but really the group as a whole) in case the team gets separated we can still send an S.O.S. to each other and/or home base
- strong and heavy duty psychic weapon (Hurk) does not need to be a physical melee weapon. Could be a crystal that fires off elemental energy 3/day or something? (see Summon Planar Energies in Will & Way p. 78). Hurk will offer his magic Datchi club to sweeten that trade.
- anything that might help us talk more easily with Tohr-Kreen. Yes we have Chat'cho, but what if they are indisposed, incapacitated or otherwise not able to function translator duties.

Can you make it back before then?" " That is simply not in the stars of this evening, not unless I start laying eggs of earth and fire." Quila would know this as a common expression from Ande when asked something absurd or impossible. Ande would gladly receive more components and quivers were they brought. |

- "The insects you described seem to be jalath’gak, perhaps these are more common there. These have a big chitinous caparace and nasty mandibles" - looking then to the list - "Mmmm.. Perhaps some rope if we need to tie something up, and a green coloured blanket, if possible, and a couple more of waterskins please" - scratching her back and head

The rest of the evening is surprisingly uneventful for Ande.
Before we advance to the next day, I need a list of what scrolls you'd like to purchase and I can quote you some prices. This is being requested that evening... they might be able to fill these requests before you leave.

HurK asks Chat'
"What's the MAXIMUM size you can make a portal? I got an idea about that big 'ol fat nut..."
[320' wide portal is a -10 to your roll. what's your power score with that modifier?]
