She listened, and then nodded.  "You are likely right, I had thought to increase our defenses and devistation- but if it is anathema...I Cannot lie that I am even with the dragons blessing slightly afraid to loose you, or even myself, to it.  I know what they are, yet intend it as back up- not as a first resort.  We are a ranger unit after all."<br/><br/>She sat back and thought on it.  Then nodded.  "If you feel you are strong enough, I will not summon the ape, but will try to come up with battle plans, and Jaio will rest some and watch over me as I do, a second set of eyes.  You will go on a scout mission.  I will send a infallible messanger with you, if you run into Immediate danger  instruct it to return with your report and location, and we will come in as back up as quickly as possible."<br/><br/>She turned to them and began to make what plans she had.  Then said "To aid you, I have a little general knowledge.  There is a small river, the Chickpea, About a mile north of us.  It leads into town, about a mile north and two east.  A small mine, silver, is to the west of town- I have suspected the 'ghosts' are bandits, but do know the kind of men that run such things- they would know simple bandits.  Still it might be a place to scout.  A guild waypoint is to the west and other side of the town, on the Chickpea."<br/><br/>Finished speaking she focused, and a small cherub like creature was summoned from creations Essence.  It turned invisible, but had a presence Bound and Ivan could feel.   And it went with them,  ready to return with a message if need arises.
