Rin's eyes lit up wide when he saw the unique looking fishing pole. It was made of Yew wood with gold and silver inlays of designs consisting of what he assumed to be elven folktales. The pole measured the same length as himself and seemed strong yet fleixible good for fish or as a defensive weapon. The fine string was almost invisible to the naked eye and seemed to be wrapped up in a tiny wheel near the bottom where the pole was only slightly thicker and wrapped in leather. It only took him a couple minutes of fiddling to realize that it worked like a pulley, yanking a baited fish without having to even move the pole. It was remarkable and the wide gleaming toothy smile across his face proved to the prince that he was VERY satisfied. He would never leave this pole behind or let it out of his sight.... ever. The Prince invited everyone to the war room but apparently Rin was too preoccupied with his pole to notice. Once he noticed he was the only one left in the room and had no idea where this room of war was. He started wandering in search of where everyone went.
This proved somewhat problematic and Rin quickly got lost inside the dark mazelike ruins. Everything looked the same and the clusters of guards scattered everywhere threw off his thermal sight. Looking for a group of people in a room proved hard to do with such thick stone and cold walls, such is the reason he preferred the outdoors. Suddenly, Rin heard a loud crash followed by a horrid screech. The pain in his head brought him to his knees and so many images flooded through his head. Every river, every lake, every fish he has ever caught and every animal he has ever hunted and skinned replayed right in front of him. It was eerie and quite uncomfortable to say the least, but when the images faded he noticed a familiar "cold" heat signature and followed the trail as well as the familiar scent straight into an extremely hostile war room. "So THIS is why they call it a war room. Everybody seems so hostile." Rin commented. Swords were drawn on the newly shelled 9, if not for his familiar scent he would not of recognized him either. The prince seemed to be so suprised of 9's new look that he fell on his face which was quite funny for Rin but nobody laughed so he tried not to either. "Why are we fighting eachother and falling on our faces?" Scratching his snout in questionable thought. "Were you all drinking Mead and fish wine without Rin?"
Aveah said "Forgive my impertinence Prince Mhundir, but intolerance is something that tends to upset me as someone who has suffered it quite often in the past and so I spoke from the heart. I hope you did not hurt yourself when you fell. I will head now for the Uchfos Forest to find your cure... Kyrtaar, you and any others who wish to join me have the time to gather what things you need... I will go ahead and see to finding our horses."
Rin was confused, they already found a cure? If so Rin needed to help if not to save the Prince than to get some Horsemeat stew! Aveah had rushed off obviously upset and/or drunk, he couldn't tell. "If there is a cure than Rin will go as well." He said turning to the large cold bug. "Your Hist is very VERY GOOD! Rin is happy to see your not sleeping anymore. When Rin has time, he can teach you how to fish with those new hands of yours." He said with a wide smile, showing off his new pole. He quickly left the room of drunkin wars and went after Aveah.
Once he reached the gate a large mass of heat was appearing over the horizion. At first Rin thought it to be just a small town or village since he was unaware of his locatiin in the first place, but after close examination it looked to be a bonfire of sort. The smell of the smoke was very pungent with decay and fresh blood. Rin grew more suspicious when he noticed the Half-elf ducking and keeping the weight off her feet. Rin followed suit by quickly scaling a tree and nimbly leaping from tree to tree without disturbing so much as a leaf. Once he was just above where Aveah was hiding, he hanged upside down right above her and reached out with his fishing pole lightly tapping her shoulder. "Pssst, why is Rin hiding in this tree? And why is Rin smelling burning bodies?" The Lizard asked hoping the half elf would know.
