"Okay, thank you," Mirrin says as she gets up. She smiles at Rhadaya. "Good night."
She heads off to another room in the house.

Mirrin nods thoughtfully. "I don't have much of a plan but...either you or Ephana can come with us to Lysse. We could seek out a mage who could scry the locations of the rest of your sisters. Failing that, we could always try to defeat Wyvaire and perhaps that'll free your sisters."
A wan smile crosses Mirrin's face as the brawler leaves. "I think I might know why your sisters where taken. While Wyvaire is quite enigmatic, she is one of the Necromancers. Nymphs are long-lived and perhaps she saw your family as a way to extend her own life." She describes the condition they found Ephana in. "Maybe she developed a way to harness a nymph's energy."
Mirrin smells the stew. "This smells great. Thank you both."
Mirrin returns. "It's like the difference between the different colors of dragons. Minimal but significant."
Mirrin goes to the back of the house to put her gear down.
Mirrin wordlessly accepts the invitation and goes inside.
"We got everything we need from that other town," Mirrin says.
"If I recall correctly, you're right."
Mirrin nods as she finishes gather all of the camping gear and stowing it in the bag of holding.
Mirrin helps Magestreia gather the tent and bedding as Rhadaya and Tesia talk.
"The sun's rising, so we might as well get going," Mirrin says. "We'll have to travel by foot until we reach that town."
"Nah, I'll take the next watch, so we all get a little more sleep," Mirrin says. "I don't know where we'd find a wizard not out to kill us in these parts."
"We'd just need to find a decent enough cleric," Mirrin suggests. "They can send messages."
"It might be best for us to focus on this while the others handle other matters," Mirrin says after Rhadaya gives her assessment. "Perhaps we can send them a message or something."
"That's pretty much life," Mirrin says.
Mirrin looks to Tesia as they eat. "We should probably stop in Brelock and get Ephana a hooded cloak to disguise her a bit. Then we can head for Lysse and meet with the others. We are supposed to be meeting up with them, right?"
Mirrin sets up her bedding before getting any food.
Mirrin shrugs. "That's well and good, but what are going to do with her once she comes around? We can't drag her through these mountains and going back...well, that sets us back a bit, doesn't it?"
Mirrin rummages through her backpack and brings out her flint and steel. She sits by Magestreia as she strikes the two objects together to produce a spark. "There we are."
"I'll set up the tent," Mirrin says as she gathers their camping gear.
Mirrin shrugs. "Sounds reasonable."
Mirrin looks to the sorceress. "Rhadaya?"
"There's a ball of ice with someone in it down there," Mirrin says. "I have no idea how we can reach it though."
Mirrin peers below where the ice golems were.
Mirrin circles around the golem and gets into a flanking position with Magestreia. ; ;
Mirrin steps beside Magestreia and fires an arrow at the golem. ;
Mirrin keeps alert as they proceed towards the clearing.
"I'm not too concerned about traps," Mirrin says. "However, I'd probably react quicker if this so-called ice gives way."
"Do you want me to take the lead or follow behind?" Mirrin asks.
"I don't know much about magic," Mirrin admits. "I used to be able to destroy it, but that was the power of the mask."
Mirrin nods. "Wyvaire hasn't left the mountain in a long time...that's about all I know about her."
Mirrin pulls her hood around her. "This ought to be fun. So, other than this mine, is there anything else we need to keep a look out for? If, by some miracle, we can see anything going forward."
Mirrin shakes her head. "We can make camp when we reach the mine, I guess."
"And how far from here to the base of the mountain?" Mirrin asks.
"We're from Valwick, a town on the southern coast," Mirrin says.
"Thank you," Mirrin says, stepping inside and rubbing her arms for warmth.
"We can't just stand out here, though."
Mirrin nods in silent agreement.
"I don't know how far we'll get today," Mirrin says, looking up at the mist-covered mountains. "Hopefully the locals are friendly."
"Thanks," Mirrin says, settling on Tesia's back and wrapping a blanket around herself.
Mirrin shakes her head. "We better head out. I don't know how long it'll take to get to the Rimespire mountains, but it'd be better to get there before dark."
Mirrin selects a backpack that includes several necessities and a large pavilion tent. She goes and pays for her items before returning to Tesia. "I got the largest tent they had, so we could build a fire in it with less risk to being discovered or having the weather put it out. If you wouldn't mind carrying that in your handy bag there."
"I can afford some stuff," Mirrin says. "We just didn't shop before leaving."
Mirrin looks over belongings. "Oh...yeah, I have weapons and potions...and nothing else. I think I need a backpack at the very least."
"So we need a good tent and some bedrolls, I think," Mirrin says. "Anything else?"
Mirrin shrugs. "Our paths may cross again later."
Mirrin manages to get Magestreia out of the tent after a few minutes. "Did you find Nolletta?"
