They say only fools go into the wastes. Well, maybe you all are fools, but you're fools on an elephant so really, you're traveling much more stylishly than anyone has any right to when you're looking for an old man of unspeakable power and fame. Well, they were one at least, back when not even the deadlanders that are held together by little but the infernal magics of the deadlands. But, that's off topic. Now, you all are planning out your journey. Like many people seeking information, you're heading to the free ports first. The fact that it's a good place to pick up food for the pickiest eater in the party is definently not part of the decision at all. Nope. Anyways, worst comes to worst, you all can mug muggers and sell their clothes for pocket change. (I assure you, this is very common in the free ports.) Anyways, the elephant will take a couple days to get there, and there's bond to be troubles as well. But, you can handle right can't you?
