The negative reactions from Rihyan and Lin wasn't making this any for the telepath. "No, You don't have to pay for anything, it's just..."<br/><br/>[Psicraft check to ID Missive(DC16), 1d20 + 20: 7 + 20 = 27, Pass]<br/><br/>It was about this time she felt a familiar pinging coming from the tiefling. The elf looked at Soma briefly.<span style="font-style: italic">"Another Missive. Is she planning something with Jess?... No. She likely would have looked at her if she was the recipient. More likely, she's calling her cousin up to enjoy the room...."</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"That's not important right now..."</span>Mindy thought, turning her focus back to the others. "Let me start from the beginning. I was originally part of a group hired to investigate the cause of the winter here in the valley. We encounted something in the woods. Something..." She winced, recalling her friends screams coming from the remorhaz's maw. "Horrible. Only three of us escaped."<br/><br/>"A short while after we had gotten here, a frind of mine, Cale, suggested that we try rescuing some of the slaves. Save lives and possibly find someone who could could help us with our mission. We managed to save a few and not be discovered." Her eyes lower. "At least... I hope so. Cale went missing yesterday, and I haven't been able to reach him with my powers. He was on his way here to scout targets looking to buy slaves When I felt our link end."<br/><br/>"That's left me to take care of the people we've rescued. Two of them seem capable, but one good pred could eat them all at once. Their hiding south of here in one the psychoportive shelters I mentioned earlier, but, I have to make a new one every ten hours or so. And time's almost up on the current one."<br/><br/>She looked up to face the group. "That being's me back to my request. I need to go out and prepare a new shelter for the refugees. It takes about ten minutes to make a new one, and I can only focus on the power. I've handled in myself till now, but, a little backup would be assuring. It should only take about twenty minutes to go there, reset the structure, and return."<br/><br/>"I was also thinking of bringing Lin there. The refugees are all from Talloak, so she may know one of them. Though I thought that she'd like to take a bath first, considering..." She stopped, not wanting to mention the obvious coating of bile on the squirrelfolk.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Ack, revenge of the long post.

Standing at just under five feet, she's dressed in cold weather gear that hides most of her lithe figure. Her clothes are dyed light blue with a silver trim, a light blue cloak covering most of her.<br/><div class="inline-attachment">
