You've spent one day at rest in the mountain. You can have two more if you need them, but that might not be wise, seeing as you actually have the chance for a head start. Your call, travelers.

While you're deciding, the cavern dwellers are still quite hospitable. Some of you may even be given gifts; best not to lose those any time soon. The road ahead may be darker than you've yet seen.

[ mission: decide when to move on. optional: butter up a local, maybe get cool swag. ]

That's what I've been trying to tell the others. Especially not around here.

Not their fault. Human nature, and all. Can't fight what you're made of.

[butgrandma]

Trust me, I understand that.

So you're coming with us then, I'm guessing? Joining the party?

[andspace]

What do you think?

[ not being smart. genuinely asking her opinion. ]

Any room 'round here for a Doctor that doesn't practice medicine?

[butgrandma]

We're not a picky group. I think you'll fit in.

[if they took her useless self then he'll be more than fine]

[andspace]

Good! I think so, too.
