Hm... here is a compromise between our two plans: first, we all run out to the tree, get out of the village first off.  Second, we send either a fourth person whom we find, someone incognito, or even my Fenrir back into the city with the IOU, who will then bring the wizard to us.  That way, Feyua gets to be the hero as Kate had requested, since we'll be safely out of the way, and we get to use what I'm sure is a DM plot device to go wherever it is the DM had planned for us to end up.<br/><br/>Alternatively, we could follow the similar plan, but attach a note saying that we need a scroll of teleport to take us to whatever the city we're supposed to end up in is, and whoever our messenger is brings the scroll back.  Teleport is arcane, and we only have one arcane spellcaster, so she'd still be saving our asses.<br/><br/>Come to think of it, the second option makes more sense; the wizard leaving the town would be suspect, and by giving the scroll he is able to keep the IOU even<em>more</em>subtle and less likely for people to find out about.  It makes perfect sense, and everyone wins!<br/><br/>Everyone agree?
