Thalya Balworth (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=90729)<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w172/minarou/d51733c7-212f-4bfc-ad58-a6d67e51b00c.jpg)</div><br/><br/>Thalya knelt and gently clasped Al'Rhayel's shoulders, a concerned look on her face as she is uncertain how to make the stubborn druidess come along with them.  The girl's obstinate opinion regarding the Mad Mage and Norton's fate is her own but does not necessary mean it is the right one.  Sitting and waiting could be the worst possible thing to do right now, and even if going directly for the tower entails its own risks it something that Thayla would stake her life with.  "We could sure use your help. Rhayel, dear.  Certainly, you would not want anything bad happen to Alyssa and the men would you?  Especially, Alyssa."<br/><br/>The sorceress stood up, staring at the druidess, hoping against hope that she would still make the right choice.  "I'm not going to force you.  If your decision is to sit here and wait, that is fine.  But it would be best if we go about this together."  Without another word, Thalya hurried on after with Alyssa's group, leaving Al' Rhayel to ponder on her choices.
