Fifteen mutters his new Cant and touches the blade of his sword. The steel begins to glow, radiating silver light bright enough to match Dustan's crystal.
Aegis stands up, puts on the ring, and heads off with the others. She she walks, she takes out the smoky glass dagger and begins to discern its secrets. It is more difficult when walking - avoiding the trees requires taking her focus off the task at hand - but she manages. Upon striking a foe, it seems that the knife will shatter and magically blind the victim for a short duration. She also notes that it was not intended to be a single-use weapon and, after breaking, will eventually return to the hand.
Dustan waits until the others have caught up to him and resumes walking, leading the group north.
Fifteen's sword darkens after a few minutes of travel. Glint is longer lasting than Cloak, it seems. At least when used in this way. The sound of water grows steadily in their ears.
Soon after, they come across the river. The water is clear, cold, and fast-running, the other bank perhaps twenty feet away. It flows from the northeast to the southwest, and holding his crystal high Dustan can see a narrow trail on the far side running parallel. The near bank is largely mud and brush, but in a few places the forest grass slopes down to meet the rushing water.
