"Then it'll take longer," She responded.
Gio frowns, unsatisfied with the response.
Taqan takes this opportunity to step in. Turning to the White Ravans, "Your task is set, if you would follow a man your boat awaits."
Standing up, they follow him out another doorway. Leaving you alone in the room.
She shakes her head, "Well....that was weird. If they're off doing that while we're doing what we're supposed to do on our end....how are we going to know when they've completed their task for us to do what we're supposed to do? I think I'm confused." She says, completely oblivious to the interest the large barbarian looking guy was showing in her, or the way he was staring at her. She hadn't given men much thought at all since getting away from the one that kept her like a pet in a cage.
"I'm sure a man will let us know," Gio answers.
She shrugs, "I guess so."
"We better get on with our own task," Gio sighs, standing up.
"So, what are we gonna tackle next?"
"The mines," Gio answers. "Unless searching for those artifacts would be more...fun."
She shrugs, "It doesn't matter to me. What are we supposed to be looking for in the mines again? I forgot already."
Taqan shortly returned, alone. "They have left. We shall see if they are up to the task of invading from the Savage North. Has the next objective been decided?"
Looking around at the others she sort of shrugs, "I guess we'll be going to the mines next."
"Mithril, Eri," Gio answers before Taqan returns. After the servant asks his question, the aasimar replies. "Unless Aleister or Ravan object, we will head to the mines next."
"No objections here." Aleister answers.

"Hmm? Oh no I have no objections." Ravan replies, clearly not having paid that much attention.
"Very well then. Would you like anything special for you meal upon your return?" Taqan asked.
She shrugs, "I guess it depends on how long it takes us and when we come back. It's hard to know what you're going to feel like eating ahead of time. What a man has been serving has been sufficient so far....as far as I know anyways. I like sweets though...I know that." She says giving the others a curious look.
"By the way, how was dinner last night, Aleister?"
"I think I would have preferred prison food." Aleister grumbles.
Making a gross face she shakes her head, "My dinner was fine, do we wanna know what you ate? If you didn't like it, just ask for something different. I like most things except for green vegetables, they're gross."
"I doubt it." He says under his breath. "When are we heading out?" He asks.
"Now works for me unless you have something you need to do first."
She checks her person, "Nope, I got everything I need with me. I'm good with now if you want to go." Looking at the man she says, "Just make sure the food is hot and not gross. No mushy gross stuff, got it? It might just be easier to wait until we get back since we don't know how long this is going to take, rather than us trying to figure out what we want to eat right the hells now." With that, she turns and heads towards the room with the weird looking map with the glowing stuff on it.
"A man will see that your meals are delicious," Taqan said. "Proceed to the Tree Room when you are ready." With a bow, he turns and leaves the room.
Not long after Taqan left, there came a sound from a pouch on the Halfling's belt. A sound reminiscent of stone clashing on wood.
"Hello, Little Gentleman, can you here me?"
She sighs and rolls her eyes.
Aleister smiles and takes a hold of the communication stone. "Ja, ik kan majesteit, hoe kan ik u van dienst zijn?" Aleister responds.
She just walks over to the map and looks at it, not caring at all about what the stupid spider bi+<# wanted.
"Ik dacht dat ik je van dienst moest zijn," She responded in an amused tone, "Hoe dan ook, mijn spionnen zijn geruchten tegengekomen dat een bisschop van Mitra binnen een week een religieus relikwie van een van de andere goden kan vervoeren. Wil je dat ik ze meer informatie over de route beveilig?"
"Anyway, my spies have come across rumors that a Bishop of Mitra may be transporting a Religious Relic of one of the other gods within the next week. Would you like me to have them secure more information on the route?"
"Het is een wederzijdse afspraak, niet waar? Quid pro quo. Als het ware. Laat me alsjeblieft op de hoogte houden en ik zal het met de anderen bespreken." Aleister says through the stone, equally amused.
"Heel goed, kleine heer. Binnen een paar dagen heb je meer informatie. Tot later," The Queen said before another clacking sound, then nothing.
As soon as she doesn't hear any more chatter she looks over at the others, "Are we ready to go yet? I'm getting bored."
Without waiting for an answer she walks over to the weird looking circle thing and stands on it, waiting for the others to join her.
Gio gets the box as he did last time.
With everyone ready to go, the Halfling charges the transport crystal for the Mine location. Again, a blinding flash and you find yourself on a mountain side. Despite the height, none of you are feeling particularly chilled.
"I suppose we need to get our bearings," Gio says.
Eri just stands by and waits to see what they want to do next, or which way they should go.
Gio relays what he saw. "We should head that way."
She nods, "Okay, is there any kind of path or anything we should follow?" She asks while taking a look around as well.
Fortunately the path isn't hard to find, but it doesn't lead far. Just to another flat clearing around the bend, and it leads nowhere.
She rubs her temple, "So...how are we supposed to get to that thing over there? Any ideas?"
She shakes her head while continuing to look around, "Maybe they don't want to be found?"
She shrugs her shoulders, "I don't see anything at all. Do one of you wantg to have a look around, or should we just leave? I'm not much for games, and I detest 'hide and go seek'. I'm getting tired and bored, which is never a good combination." She says as she shields her eyes from the sun.
