"Does anyone have a spell of communication?" asks Luagha.
He attempts to communicate with the captured wyverns.  The female,
unfortunately, falls unconscious one more time from her own poison and dies.
The male is now even more distraught, and in a panic, breaks from his bonds
and flies away.

"Well met Tariel," Luagha says, looking a bit disappointed at the escape of the
wyvern. "We shall examine the wyverns' cave, and see if they have hoarded
anything of information value relevant to the Wheel of Time."  He wanders over
to where the horse is tethered, looking at it curiously. "Unicorns are
supposed to look like THAT, but with a horn??" he mutters to himself.

You wander ahead into the clearing (Shuitsu, who has been very much out of
the happenings, doesn't follow).   The cave and the clearing contain
absolutely nothing of interest.

Marin looks around, straightens his back and shakes his head, as if trying to
clear it of some befuddlement. "We have a wheel to find, and I think we should
move on.  I see my wind spirit is still not back, probably playing with dust
devil.  Oh, I never did get an answer from anyone.  Did anyone else get
anything useful from our hosts?"

Kelso turns, and addresses the party, "Now that we are a complete group again
I say that we should travel on.  Before the wyverns attacked, I had communed
with the spirit of this area.  While I didn't find out any information about
the Wheel, I did learn about the local layout.  The path we are on leads all
the way through the forest, and there are no other paths, although there are
branches that come off and return to the main path.  Otherwise, the forest is
thick and dense.  There is a river of sorts running through the wood, and there
is also a marshy area.  There are no animals currently living in the woods,
save for the wyverns and some spiders, but there are some humanoids living
further up the trail.  One of the humanoids lives alone, and there are funny
trees around him.  One of the path branches dead ends, and there is a pile of
heavy stones, and a large creature, possibly reptilean, living there.  I say
we should head to either the lone being, or the stones.  Since there is only
one path, it seems we have little other choice unless we want to travel down
the river."

Quick note:  For anyone currently attending college, please let me know when
your spring break is, so we can plan ahead.  Mine at RPI is the week of March
10th.  I'll try and get a move up from home, but I may not be able to.  If I
can't, then the Wednesday move won't exist, and the Sunday one (March 11th),
may go up Saturday.
