"Okay, Snow. I trust you to head to Tolas for a bit and see what you can figure out. With Lord Vraelion out there still definitely upset we took what he likely considers to be his property, we need to be careful. King Thadius too. He's definitely on Elok's payroll. If you can, see what you can get from the Circle of the Unicorn as well, if any are there. Those guys said they'd probably help, though they didn't exactly give us a lot to go off." You cross your arms. It's an especially windy day for some reason, though the clouds are only beginning to shroud the sky. The sun itself still pierces through. "And take some coin with you. Maybe Tolas has something useful to buy, like a means to communicate from far away that doesn't involve taking Alice's ear with you."

"Of course," Snow says with a nod. She seems impressively unaffected by the chill in the air, and with her attire, she's quite aerodynamic. She looks quite good with that brand new bow on her back as well, and while she may not have any additional, strange powers, she does have magic arrows in her quiver. In her right palm, she holds the ear in question--something she'll need to use in the meantime, until something better is found. Alice doesn't seem to mind, however.

"See if you can contact Shadow Garden too. Let them know after we investigate the enemy directly, we might want everyone prepared for a real battle. In the meantime, I'll call Vex and William with the mirror, and maybe even Gwyn with the conch."

"When it comes to the Circle, is there any member in particular we should look into more?" Snow asks.

"Hmm." You ponder for a moment. "Well, if Ealdorman is available, that would be the best, though otherwise, it may not matter too much. How about--"
