Polmora fixed on Jarix with that slightly predatory, hungry look of hers. "Well, young wolf, it appears as though you've made up your mind. Who would you have go, and who would you have stay here and look after things in your absence?" She quirked a half-smile to punctuate her question.
Breaking eye contact Polmora brushed aside the hair at her forehead, a faintly glowing sigil of an eye could be seen there. Something that, in the short time she had been with the settlers, most people had come to realize could only mean that damnable creature of hers was lurking about...somewhere, watching with it's big saucer eyes. Polmora looked around at the others. "I agree with Msosth, exploring the river to the south seems like the best idea to start. It's the sort of area that's liable to attract people, and possibly other things. Better to see what's there as soon as possible, see if the river is passable for transport as well."
I've decided I like both of these characters pretty much equally, so I'll leave it to you all to decide if you would rather have Falger or Polmora accompany you to start with. I'm good either way, I think.
