"A pleasure, Devaguea," the horse replied, bowing slightly. "They have, indeed. You have come quite a ways to be here, have you not?"<br/><br/>Windchaser explained his history - he used to serve as a companion for a druid in these lands who, when he grew old, awakened the horse, and freed him, to return to his people, as a final gift. He would explain that most of these western plains were relatively peaceful; they could safely roam for a couple of days in almost any direction, without issue. At the mention of the barbarians, though, he's perk up, and describe some rough, leather-clad humans camped in a valley, almost due east of their location. It would take a bit of communicating and discussion, and reaching out to Talia to compare to maps, but he'd be able to pinpoint the location of the valley - C3.<br/><br/>After the party separated, there was little keeping them from arriving at Fort Drelev, a few days later, to meet up with the rest of their group. Viewing it from a distance, it looks to be a relatively peaceful small town... though there doesn't seem to be much activity or liveliness in it. Meeting with his allies, they'll report the same thing - that the only people seen moving in town either move swiftly, without delay... or are large bands of armed thugs, accosting and intimidating anyone they run across.
