Status: Skirt damaged<br/>HP 83 of 83     Spells remaining: 7 of 7 1st, 4 of 4 2nd, 1 of 1 from bonded object<br/>Ammunition remaining: 18 common arrows, 15 silvered, 20 cold iron, 2 Slow Burn, 5 Tangleshot<br/><hr/>Rayne gave Grogza's forearm a squeeze, then let go.  "Thank you.  We'll be more secure together."<br/><br/>Ledude was already on his feet, so Rayne looked up at him to reply.  "We'll see you there.  I have to make a few purchases too."   She glanced to the side, confirmed joining Ledude's party, then finished her breakfast quickly.  From the innkeeper she purchased enough wine to fill her skins, and food for the day (1 more day's rations).<br/><br/>She hit the "shops", such as they were, with Grogza/Ashley.  "And I'm Rae-lynne, Ashley.  It seems both our friends will get a little talking-to... and I'm sorry you had such a rough start.  Do you know where she - or he - might be?  Any chance we'll find your friend in Port Lannis, too?"<br/><br/>For herself, Rayne purchased 13 more common arrows to re-fill her quiver, purchased a set of basic arrow-making supplies (twine, feathers, arrowheads), and looked if there were any replacement skirts, or material / repair kits with which to patch her own.  She eyed Grogza.  "Not that there's anything wrong with your armour - umm, it looks good on you, in fact, very barbarian-chique - but if there's anything you need but can't afford, I might be able to lend you a bit."<br/><br/>At the riverboat, Rayne waved cheerfully to the others, then looked around thoughtfully.  "I wonder how long until NPCs respawn, now?  I didn't pay attention to the fort's guards, if there were as many now.  But there must be some supply of new ones, if the monsters keep spawning."  She wondered about Port Lannis... would the city guards respawn, keeping the battle raging?  Or, once a place had fallen past a certain point, did it change hands?  Could Melangwi Outpost have become a Kech villlage last night, if the PCs hadn't been there, and triumphant?  No way to know, she supposed.<br/><br/>"At least we're just going downstream.  I imagine we can figure something out."  She started to examine the paddlewheel, but took a moment to return Starstrike's Sending: "Coming downriver now on barge<em>Crocodile Express</em>with Grogza, Ledude, Moonshadow.  Kech attacked Melangwi Outpost, repelled.  Slave PC opened gate.  Kill owner to free slave."<br/>
