Airin smiles as Kendry and Tobias share thoughts. Then she interferes this merrymaking and kindly greets Tobias. "Hello Tobias. I'm Airin. Nice to see you here in this deserted place! What in the name of the two suns of the Wold were you doing here all alone?!?"
Then Airin gazes around and notices all the books... a library... hmmm...
"Didn't Mungo advice me to go look through a library to find that Telperien family..."
"Say Kendry... let's take a look to see if we can find anything about a family called Telperien."
Then Airin starts to browse the books. Local hisotry... renowned families from Angel Springs... famous artists... this telperien family should be either of these.

Tobias to Airin Saturday December 10th, 2005 2:17:07 PM
"Hi Airin, as I said just looking for a book on ranger training. I heard that books about a great many topics could be found in this keep. It didn't seem al that dangerous at the time (well at least before I knocked that brazier over)."
"And, I'm used to traveling light. Most of the years I spent in Culverwood, I traveled alone (when I wasn't leading merchant caravans out of the wood). It helped hone skills in moving without notice, covering my tracks, and getting in and out of situations unseen. This was going to be a quick hit - leave before anyone even knew I was here."
"Obviously being home with mother for the last few weeks has dulled my skills..."
Books: What have we here [DM Jon-Paul] d20+2=11 Saturday December 10th, 2005 4:23:23 PM What have we here?
Mungo heads into the library spying a particularily ancient looking tome off in some oblique corner. Looking at it with his head cocked to one side as if reading the bind of the volume.
Mungo walks over to the bookcase, gets a chair to stand on, and then reaches up for the tome he'd been staring at.
Reaching up for the tome, Mungo placing both hands on the exposed part, pulls gingerly, managing it's escape from the shelf.
Returning the chair to its former resting place, Mungo returns to the easy of a large reading roost, to examine the book carefully.
Meanwhile, the others...
While Mungo and Morpth are carefully checking out the one interesting volume their have spied, the others are also loking for books. Airin, for anything involving Elven families and the Arts, Kendry for almost anything -- Bards , you know! --, Tobias, for that special book on Rangering, Selithe and Dwight....
Mungo & Morpth Crack open the...
Mungo with Morpth assisting, unlock the clasp on the great work, and Mungo begins to read its pages.
Morpth, with complete faith in his new boss, looks on and assure Mungo, no one will interfere with his reading.
After some time, Mungo raises his hands and begins chanting...
...within moments, a red and purple mist begin to fill the room circling about the feets of all halflings in the room. Mungo continues to chant. Morpth battle ready and with sap in hand in case other halfling attempts in interrupt his new boss.
As the others begins to notice that something is afoot, the mists ingluf them and the air begins to change...
Not in Lawni's anymore!
The group of halflings are standing outside a large city on the side of the road with their mounts. Dwight, Selithe, Airin, Kendry, Tobias, and Podo along with two riding dogs, and a mount or two fully weighted down with gear.
