Berak thinks for a moment and then says to the warden:
- I don't think there is much we can do about the ship before we find the Ice Scepter. Without the help of a Magician of considerable ability, even approaching the ship would be suicidal.
Berak looks around for Isirius.
- Since one of our party seems to have wandered off, however, we could stick around to wait for him. We really should be looking for the scepter though. It probably has not left the city yet, since one would assume that the ship would follow it wherever it goes.
- Perhaps, if we locate it, you could send someone to take it out of the city to see whether the ship does indeed follow it. If it does, you could have the scepter taken into the mountains and buried. The ship and the scepter would do no harm there, assuming nobody finds them.
Berak suddenly turns his gaze to somewhere beyond the crowd.
- Ah, do excuse me for a moment. I'll be right back.
Berak nods to the Warden and starts to move towards the place he sensed Isirius reaching out to him.
