(OOC: E is down 25, Zack down 53, so...all 3 CMW on Zack and he heals 44, missing 9. Two CLW cures 17, so E is down 8. A night's rest will remove much of that)
"I see. I see. Andric Lenton. He's a newcomer, so can't say I know him too well. Seems a bit naive and trusting though, I dare say. Nice Haste, by the way, Opale--it let us all get out to save Zack with enough speed. We should compare notes on magics that influence speed. I'm convinced that there must be a yet-more efficient way than the one we currently use. In any case, we had best prepare for the worst. Who here is the most likely to be able to spot and/or endure a surprise attack? We may want to send one or two of you out ahead on my Phantom Steeds, which are slightly faster than Opale's, so you can scout ahead and make sure we don't run into some sort of ambush. If we know it's coming, with our greater speed, we should be able to outrun anything short of a dragon..." Aya frowns wryly and adds, "And I hope I didn't just jinx us there."
