One More Decision

JP with Winteroak and Cindy

Islana spent the rest time searching and searching some more. Her hand grabbed her spear and threw it into the ground out of sheer frustration. There was no sign of the Sad Cap mushroom, Hunter was getting worse and Islana was starting to doubt just about everything.

Glancing in the direction where the smoke was reaching the sky. She picked up her spear and went back to where the men were.

"Is there a sliver of a possibility anyone in the village would be able to help us with the mushroom? I have drawings of what it looks like." The question addressed to Stran.

Islana knew it was likely no one on the village would understand them but with the drawing it might help. It was risk to go to the village but was it more of a risk if they didn't?

Stran looked Islana. "I have heard they are not the most welcoming lot." He said. "Women have it hard in the clans. But if we don't do anything about your friend he might not last long." He shrugged apologetically. Islana had to make the call on this one.

It was up to her as she doubted Hunter could make a judgement call on this.

The warnings she had received about the clan came back to her. If they stopped it might give the bounty hunter a gain on their time but, if ultimately it saved Hunter...

Islana didn't need to think long as once again, desperation to help played into the young woman's decision. Come what may if Hunter lived it would be worth it.

"I guess we're going to see an Odonine village."
