<div class="floatright">  <strong>Vanessë Istya</strong> (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1829727)<br/>(https://yt3.ggpht.com/a-/AAuE7mBViEXufNE3sOcr1sfm2PL7B4vFb6ocvHP9Cg=s240-mo-c-c0xffffffff-rj-k-no)</div>Vanessë sought to usher her friends to the edge of the marketplace where they wouldn't be obstructing traffic and where they could converse without the entire village overhearing them.  This took them past the village post where she saw the decree of bounty herself.  "Amusing," she observed dryly, "they didn't even bother to provide a translation in Tullok."  How typical of her people, she thought to herself; this spoke volumes to the sort of people they expected or desired to answer the call.  When time would come to collect the reward, she'd be tempted to give all the credit to Nephie, just to see the reactions at the Elven Court.  She also arched an eyebrow at the "Grey Eyes."  Now that could refer to almost anyone.  Did this guy call himself by that name?  Well, in any case, if he was pillaging a trade road and capturing Snow Rangers, he had to be stopped.<br/><br/>She had nodded, echoing Nephie's question, "What do we know of that area and do we have a plan?  And are we sure the militia won't be taking care of this?" she reasoned, then just as calmly added, "We should make haste with our preparations so that we can get to the bandits before the militia does."<br/><br/>To Allia, she responded, "Sadly I haven't had time to learn the Floating Disk ritual yet, remember?  Master Soveliss has been drilling me almost non-stop on the art of casting while dancing.  You'll have to handle that department.  I, however, can provide some illusory support, or charm and sleep enchantments that may help in taking the bandit leader alive."
