*Ferdouz smiles. He accepts the hand offered to not be rude, but more or less stands up on his own.*
"Wonderful! Your assistance is most generous. Is this a bad time to seek him out? You claim he cannot travel - perhaps if I am interrupting I should endeavour to meet with him at a later time."

She shrugs. "I doubt it'll be interrupting, it's just he's staying at the camp we set up outside a hell gate. I can take you to it and push comes to shove I'll walk you back to town if he's tied up or finally fallen asleep."

*Ferdouz takes a step back at the words 'Hell gate'.*
"Indeed. It seems I will have many questions for him, and so I shall hope he is still awake."
*He bows.*
"I am named Ferdouz. May good fortune smile on you for your willingness to aid me this day. Please, lead on."

"And I'm Ursel." she smiles and heads towards the path. "What brings you to Ralinwood, fratello? It's hardly the best vacation destination."

"I have come seeking opportunity to study, trade, and hone myself before I might return to my people. This is the final lesson of my apprenticeship before I can join the magi and loremasters of my people - I must learn the skills necessary to conjure the portal the brings me home.
I had started my trip in Jericho, but found the culture too restrictive - magi were registered and forced to go to considerable efforts to please their masters while being curtailed in their efforts for personal study by strict and overwhelming bureaucracy at every turn. I travelled south by land hoping to find the end of the Conclave's dominion but when offered the choice of Suvant or Duvain I chose the latter. If things do not lend themselves to study here either I shall probably head back up to Suvant.
Your northern climes do have their own charm though, so I shall have to hope I can find an amenable culture to settle down and study."

"Not going to lie I only understood about half of that. But yeah, Jericho is fucked up. Hope you can find what you're looking for, though, and if there's one thing this place is good at it's testing your limits." she shudders slightly as she walks. "Can I ask how long you've been away from home?"

*Ferdouz ponders for a moment.*
"Only about a year now. But I have many decades to go before I reach even my first century, so I am in no rush."

"That's not too bad, then. I'm starting to miss home myself but I can't leave for Berphaunt just yet. Too much to do."
The gate comes into view, a few tents set up around it.
"Here we are, Ralinwood's very own little piece of Hell. Don't worry, it isn't active or anything. Not anymore." she doesn't sound happy about this.
RE: That Damn Skein Gate Lights Up Again ((T.S. 9:30 am, Nov 4 / 2258 - Andrei Katrares - 11-07-2016
*Ferdouz frowns.*
"But the fact remains that it exists at all. I should hope it was not made by this side - it is shameful to be so weak of character that you would deal with those who would enslave you instead of bettering your lot through the effort of your own labours."
*He looks around for a sign of anyone else.*

There is a shrine plainly dedicated to Physignathus visible about twenty feet from the gate. At the far side to the approaching duo is Sevatar, in his usual green robe, with his staff braced against his shoulder. He calls out without turning his head from the gate, "Hail."
