When Alyx asked when she thought they should depart, Ansalia answered, "Hmm, it's dinnertime, so,.."<br/><br/>She then asked Espin, "About how many miles to the monastery did you say it was? I'm trying to figure out whether we can make it by nightfall, and if not, if the place woudl be difficult to find by dark, or the monks would be suspicious of or outright bar guests-by-night. Is there anything we need to know to be able to locate it specifically?"<br/><br/>She smiled at Rygel, "Why yes, I'm happy to go with you, your offer of protection is equally welcome whether it ever prove necessary or no, let us hope 'no' - irrespective of respective abilities!"<br/><br/>"And, hmm, if as I gather from your question you wonder about what spells to prepare...well I don't plan to<em>start</em>any fights but if we find them....anything to make the journey swifter or safer is good. Perhaps being able to turn invisible if we wish to flee anything that crosses our path, or find ourselves beating a hasty retreat from any irascible monks. Anything which would silver-glaze our tongues for dealing with them."<br/><br/>"In any case, I suppose I feel ready when we are, unless we decide to wait 'til morn."<br/>
