[ModNote: Continued from In a clearing...] *Upon reacing the Dunnfalls, Ursula walks up and down the bank of the river below the falls for a few minutes before finally selecting a spot. Crouching down on the edge of the bank, she looks down into the water, watching intently*

*Tom stands a few feet back from Ursula watching with great intrest.*
<In a wisper>
"Hmmm. Fasinating. Apsalutly Fasinating."

*Ursula remains motionless for several moments, staring into the water and making no sound. Then, with surprising suddeness and swiftness, she lashes out with one arm, and scoops a large trout out of the river. In almost the same moment, she swipes again with her other arm, catching another fish of similar size. Both are quickly dispatched with blows from her staff*
There. That should do I think. Do you have the means for starting a fire?

"No problem my dear." *Tom Beams* "That happens to be my specuality."
*Tom quikly gathers some wood sets it up on the ground and then removes a small pouch from his pocket, He spinkles a handful of powder on the wood and it erupts in to flames.*
"Wounderful stuff. Dried Fire just add wood."

*Ursula jumps back slightly in surprise, 'instant fire' is not a concept she can grasp very easily*
I... see... very interesting.
*She sits somewhat warily by the fire, keeping an eye on it as if expecting it to bite her, and starts to roast the fish*

"Mmmmm That smells apsaluty Scrumshus."
*Tom Looks at the fire which is balzeing away.*
"But we don't whant them to burn."
*Tom blows slighty and amazingly the fire lessens in intensity.*
"How long befor there done Ursula?"

*Ursula backs away again as the fire dies down, not really trusting fire that apparently thinks for itself*
Another few minutes should do it. *She continues to keep an eye on the fire as well as the fish, expecting it to flare back up again*

*Tom and Ursula tuck into the fish.*
"Apsalutly divine my dear Ursula."
<In a serious tone.>
"But We must discuss the buissness at hand. How do you propose we help the poor girl Tzgain, for that is the name she imparted to me when I made contact with her for a brief spell last night, and how should we proced to go about it?"
"Also should we endevor to avenge her wrongful slaying and vile treatment or should we refrain from takeing the law into our own hands?"

*It should be mentioned that Ursula's manners aren't particularly neat or ladylike when it comes to eating, she simply takes the fish in both hands as soon as it's sufficiently cooled and tears into it with her teeth, speaking between bites*
It is a diffiult task my friend. Such pain cannot easily be healed, especially when it is not corporeal. We can really do nothing until the spirit shows herself, and even then we can do nothing for her unless she is willing to let us help. I doubt it is as simple a matter as finding her bones and laying them to rest in consecrated ground.
*Ursula takes another bite and gulps it down before continuing*
It is part of my people's code that we must avange wrongful slaying and punish the guilty. I myself have no qualms about breaking human laws to follow the Code of Ursa. You need not get involved. But again, we will be unable to do much without the help of the spirit.

"I never expected it to be easy my dear. Something of this sort rearly is in my experiance. As my grandad use to say "If The Task was Easy, It wasn't worth doing." As for me not involving myself in any attempt to avenge Tzgains death, like I told you I can NOT walk away from such things, I will just have to grit my teeth and bare it, and worry about forgivness later."
(OOC: I have been in contact with Tzgain she wishes for use to lay the character to rest. So if we could work up to the point were Ursula and Tom re-enter Wolfenden. I will then have to concentrated on the assasination plotline as that is neer a conclusion. I will then be able to focus completly on this storyline.)

Very well then. The best copurse of action would probably be to head back to the village, and wait to see if the spirit makes her presence known again.
*Finishing her fish, Ursula picks up her staff and stands*
I am ready to leave when you are.
(OOC: Okay, so we have them re-enter Wolfenden then wait for the other thread to wrap up? Works for me)

"Well theres no time like the present. Ladys first."
*He picks himself up off the ground.*
"Lets just hope the poor girl realise that we are endevoring to help her and makes her self known to use."
