David's glad to be able to find place to put three more re-awakened Terrans, and a suitable group will be quickly identified. They will be equipped with tablets that include the translation software, so they should be able to more or less communicate with the local Elenes.

Felix will give the coordinates to David and will give the Count a quick rundown on Terran translation tablets so he knows what to expect when they get here.

Assuming there's no complications Felix is ready to head on out back to the ship to pick up the submarine.

Arkady is ready to go, though once they're clear of the castle he's going to comment to Ivan: "It looks like you still have a job waiting when we get back from the lake."

Did David mention any problems with the submarine?

No problems with the submarine were mentioned. If anyone asks specifically, David will re-iterate that there is a very limited quantity of the sealant available - you can use the submarine, once assembled, as much as you like, but you can only assemble it once, unless you take the time to manufacture more sealant.

Also, since you'll be back at the Ship, David thinks it would make a lot of sense for you to also drive the new delegation over to the Count's castle.

Felix is fine with that if driving the crew to Count Stokes isn't too far out of the way from going to the lake.

The major detour would be going through that bleeping forest road. Twice.

--------------

So, you soon head back towards the Ship, with Ivan in tow. Time passes relatively quietly - Felix and Piper have a few quiet chats in the back of one of the trucks, which is clearly nothing for anyone else to worry about. (The fact that Theresa, somehow, manages to learn the Elene language overnight will probably raise a few eyebrows, though). Then - within Fangorn Forest (and the roads in here are much better than the one leading to Stokes' castle) - you notice some smoke a short distance away.

This isn't "small cooking fire" level of smoke. This is either "large bonfire" or "house on fire" levels of smoke. From what should, for all you can tell at this distance, be an empty bit of forest.

"Huh... that is somewhat concerning. Probably a good idea to check that out."

Felix tries to get an idea of his surroundings so he can figure out if the smoke is coming from the ship or the same area as the ship.

Before the concern is raised by the smoke, back on part of the route home, Arkady reminds the group of the intention to stop off at the Pandion chapterhouse and bring news in to Vanire.

Just rewinding the clock a little.........

...the group arrives safely at the Chapterhouse. As per usual protocols, they have to announce themselves and have their identities double-checked before they are allowed entry; since they actually are who they say they are, they pass the identity check and head inside, where they find Vanire waiting for them.

Arkady greets Vanire, and introduces Ivan:
"This is Ivan; he could resist the power of the succubus to bend people to her will, and he's helping us recover the Rose."

Then he explains how the count's files showed that the Rose made it's way to Lake Venne, and how it's creator seems to be there looking for it. "We have a machine that will let us search underwater for the stone, and we will be bringing that with us. I am thinking we should not bring the rings, though. I am guessing it would attract too much of the wrong kind of attention if we find the Rose and can use it; powers that can see what might happen would probably see that possibility when we got it."

"I think we should bring the rings regardless," Felix says. "However small the chances may be, I'd rather not risk being annihilated if we tried to pick the Rose up to bring back here."

"When the Blue Rose is found," says Piper, "merely bringing it to light will ring like a bell throughout the whole world. Not one corner of it will be completely deaf to that ringing - nay, it has already echoed through time, to a limited degree. Make no mistake - whether the Rings are there or are not, upon the very instant that the Blue Rose is bought to light, it will be known to all who know how to listen for that note."

Arkady looks at her for a second. "Oh." Then he looks at Felix. "It looks like you're right. Perhaps we should be bringing Lady Sephrenia along with us as well, since she is the one who is supposed to know how to use it."

"Lady Sephrenia and Sir Sparhawk are already on their way there," Felix says. "With any luck we should get there when they do."

"And you say there's going to be a troll there, waiting for you?" asks Vanire. "You might very well need Sir Sparhawk. Trolls are no lightweights - even a crippled troll, one on one, could almost certainly defeat any one of my Knights. Hm, and if he could make an artifact like that, then he's no ordinary troll - he'd have to be a troll sorcerer, at least. He could have any amount of tricks at hand..."

"He got lucky," says Piper, firmly. "He didn't create the Blue Rose - rather, he found a pre-existing power and merely shaped it to a form pleasing to his eye. He's not... entirely unfamiliar with magic... but most, nay, near all of his magical feats were done through, and by, the Rose. With the Rose, and the Rings to command it, he is nigh unstoppable; without, he is merely a Troll."

"Which is already a fairly significant foe," points out Vanire.

Felix doesn't have much else to say. If Arkady has said all he wanted to say then Felix is readyt o move on.
