Sumina smirked when Sha'al grabbed her hand before she could slap him, but it got him out of his daze. That was enough for her.
During the insane trip to the tree, Sumina had managed to tune the kender children out, but after what felt like forever, she realized that they weren't getting anywhere. "Where was this big tree again?" Sumina asks. They were going to have to take the lead at this point.

"The what?" Makland asks. "Oh, right, the tree." He glances around his surroundings, then points to a nearby oak tree. "That's the one."
"That's not it," Joween argues.
"It is, too," Makland counters.
"You just picked a tree at random! This is definitely not the tree."
"Yes it is, dumb-butt!"
"No it's not, fart-face!"
The two begin arguing again.

Sumina mutters a few curses to her God under her breath. She was about ready to pull the topknots off these kids heads, but she didn't. Instead, she looks to Sha'al and the others to see if they have any suggestions.

Arthogate "You young ones ever heard about them gnomes that built an airship and ended up on one of tha moons?" the dwarf says to the arguing kender children hoping it catches their interests.

What makes you think this is the tree? Was something special about it? Sha'al looks around the tree and the nearby area for any trails leading off the main road

As far as Sha'al can tell, there is nothing special about this tree. While Makland and Joween continue arguing, Raddell turns his full attention back to the dwarf and starts asking questions. "Which moon? How far away is it? Have you ever been there? What's it made out of? How does it stay up in the air like that? Do you have any real food? Is that axe magical? Did you get it from a moon? What do they eat on the moons? What's this for?" he holds up Arthogate's flint and steel. "If you're on a moon and the sun comes out, what happens to you? Do you fall back to Krynn? Is magic stronger on the moons? Can you do magic? Are there magic items on the moons? Do you have any? I'm tired. Can we stop and rest now? Are there people on the moons? What do they look like? I'm hungry. Is it lunch time yet?"

Kaelestia
Hp: 12/12 - AC: 5 " ...As I said earlier, I sincerely doubt a tree would make for an effective landmark. Not in the middle of a forest, anyway. I feel this is a wild goose chase." - Kaelestia softly whispers to the others.

I'm hungry. Is it lunch time yet?" replies "If memory serves they landed on the red moon. I don't entirely recall how the tale went as to how they got back but I think they fixed their air ship and found a way back using it. I think the moon was made of red rock and dirt but the story didn't really go into that kind of detail. It was a long ways away but again I only heard the tale from some merchants and others years ago. I thought it was a tall tale but hard knowing without asking the gnomes that did it. How they stayed up I think they had some sort of hot air contraption that made the air ship fly into the sky. No I can't do magic and I don't know how it is on any moon. Now that you are holding is flint and steel used for starting a campfire. Those look a lot like the ones I have hmm maybe I misplaced them and you found them yeah? Can I get those back?" |

"It isn't this tree," Sumina says to Sha'al with a shake of her head. There wasn't a point in checking it out because she knew that the kender child just randomly pointed at a tree. "Well, all we can really do is keep walking until we run into more kender. They can't be that far from the ruins that were mentioned to us."

Parra swelled with pride as Kaelestia praised her.
"Maybe Nuitari has guided my hand" she say as she collect the shatang
She pant, with a victoriouse smile.
But the rant of children made her lose her courage- murdering them would bring troubles and she couldnt handle them.
She would hide, and maybe later check if the draconians have dropped anything worth looting
And give the Shatang a name,as she scratched over it in Magius- "Nuitari Zake"- Nuitiari's Gaze.
----
Parra barked.
"Shut up fleas of crab's butt! We are going forward, and you just be quite or I'll skin you alive and make a new tunic for me!"

Raddell returns the flint and steel, but continues asking dozens of questions. The other kender do not show any fear at Parra's threats, or any fear about anything, being kender and all. They continue to argue, sing, shout, and run circles around the party with seemingly infinite energy.
This goes on for five hours. When the sun begins to set at around Evening Watch, a family of squirrels in a nearby tree climb down and run past the party. The three children see them and start shouting, "Squirrels! Squirrels! Looks, it's squirrels!" Then all three chase after the squirrels, running full speed into the brush.
================
It is now Evening Watch (7 PM).

"...They're like dogs," Sumina says. But she knows she can't lose them since they just found them, so she chases after the three kender children.

The party runs after the children, who in turn, are running after the squirrels. After a lot of zigging and zagging among shrubberies and trees, they suddenly run right into a large clearing in the middle of the woods. In the very center of that clearing stands a tower, ancient and crumbling, but still standing after who knows how long. All three kender skid to a stop upon seeing it, the squirrels forgotten. "What do you think is inside?" Maklands asks. "Monsters?"
"Treasure?" wonders Joween.
"Food?" muses Raddell.
