Farad will practice with McTavish with his sword while wearing the ring and without, and see if it offers any protection. If so he'll claim it.
It does not. However, when McTavish sticks his leg out to trip Farad at one point during their sparring match, the elf falls...like a feather...
scroll (ventriloquism, tenser's floating disk, read magic)
Farad will copy the first two spells to his spellbook.
They disappear from the scroll.
After hearing the conversation continue onward for minutes on end, Raz speaks up saying, "I guess it would be best if I accompany Farad back to the city as well...that way I can train at a cheaper rate as well as learn a few new spells that might come in handy"
Raz will first train Farad and then accompany him back to the city.
Farad nods. "Then I guess it will be Raz and Kelar."
"That is probably safer anyway. There is the possibility that we might get stuck on the Astral plane for a day both coming and going. Best to have someone who can throw some potent offensive spells."
July 17th is again warm and rainy.
Illyana, Britan and Humphrey begin training themselves.
Raz begins training Aldarin and Farad in the craft of spell casting.
The rest of you take life easy...hunting and exploring around the area.
