With the growing chatter about outlanders coming to town to investigate the anomaly, Nia is getting antsy to get out of town. She would approach Gegren and ask him "So, do you feel like getting out of town for awhile? I think we can avoid the local gossips and make ourselves useful at the same time." Nia would leave Torin, the young half-elf, in town. She'd thank him for his assistance, but suggest he leave well enough alone. "The smith and I should be able to figure things out." [OOC: Nia is not interested in a large scouting party, so wants to get moving before things get crowded. The thought of outlanders from Horizon or Aera Anon coming to investigate the light in the sky is unsettling. This was *her* sign, she wants to solve this...whatever it is. Nia would give a thought to asking after Dax, but her experiences with him have led her to believe that seeking him out is pointless. If Dax wants to be there, he will be simply show up at a moment of his choosing - regardless of any other factors.] If Nia spies Arsal, she would invite them along. She is almost twenty leagues away from Oron-yána, an experienced local guide could be very useful. Assuming Gegren is game to go, Nia would meet him under a big tree outside of town. Nia will load her gear into her bag and sling the tumpline so she can keep her hands free. She's looking forward to some unfamiliar woods.
