A Serendipitous Meeting in the Southern Caves

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 13094

"Annafrid!" the fairy woman Chelene exclaims delightedly. The body that Annafrid now wears might be different, but Chelene's magical talents ensure that she has no difficulty in recognising her. Many introductions and explanations follow, and in the process Chelene is able to fill in some of the events that Annafrid herself no longer remembers.

Once all the explanations are finally finished, Joan asks Chelene: "Can you tell us where we can find a supply of the herb that we are looking for?" "I've heard that a wizard called Prang specialises in spells that utilise that herb," the fairy replies. "Though he now lives in a castle for retired wizards, he's still very much an active practitioner of magic." Chelene has no idea that Prang is the master of the dragon of the Southern Caves, of course, nor that he is the most powerful and dangerous wizard in existence on this analogue of Terra Prime; the wizard is much too careful and subtle for anyone to be aware of that.

"I'm tempted to come with you," Chelene continues, "though I'm not sure that you really need my aid. Once you are safely out of the Southern Caves, your quest should be free of danger. And your party possesses an impressive array of talents, not least the enhanced strength and agility of Annafrid herself. [12713]

  1. "Meanwhile, there's a gift that I would like to give Annafrid, so long as the Gods and Goddesses are willing."
