Those who follow the trail to the right find themselves walking along a curved pathway leading into some trees. It is quite windy and it heads over a few hills before reaching another set of pillars. Upon which there sits two more smaller leather bags tied shut.
The walkway appears to continue on past them on the other side through an archway into a forest.

Mattie looks around at the trees. She loved nature so seeing the trees was a nice touch in her opinion. "So more pillars and another two pouches. Did someone find that pouch from Dristan before he vanished?" She looks back to those that went to the right path.

The pouch that Dristan had now appears to be in Dimitri's hand.

Jillian is only a step behind Mattie, trying hard to see if anything looked familiar at all. "You got a pouch from this area before, what did it contain? I suppose we're meant to take one or both of these as well?"

Matilda is following behind Mattie and Jillian making sure that they're both safe. She hears them talk about a bag before she sees the other bags. “I'd suggest that if we are meant to take the bags then we take them”.

"The other bag had coins in it. Really old coins that I've never seen before, but if legend serves correctly as does the words of Hypnos they are coins of passage through here. I think it had about 15 coins."
She looks at the other two and picks up one of the pouches. "So I guess if we keep coming on them, we should probably each only hold one just to be safe. It looks like Dmitry has the one Dristan had. Who wants that one? " she points at the other bag that was still there.
She opens her bag and looks inside.

"Unless Jillian wants to pick it up then I'll go and pick up the second bag"
She walks up slowly to where the other bag is and she picks it up and opens it so she can have a look.

Lili had followed the group. "Well Obviously, these bags are helpful or why else would they keep being found?"
She looked between the group and the two pouches. "I dont exactly know what we're supposed to do. But We might want to start collecting these things incase they are helpful." She looked around at everyone.
"What we need to remember is to stay together. No one should wander off. If you see something say something. We stay together."

A third bag appears on a pillar a little further up ahead. There is the sound of rustling from the trees much, much further down the trail. If someone were to look close enough there was just the faintest edge of a town's roof tops way, way off in the distance.

"I am in full agreement of staying and working together," Jillian nodded, feeling more herself now there was a plan and they were acting on it. "I guess I'll take this new bag.. unless you want it, Liliana? We don't want whoever that man was doing worse if we wait around."

Dimitri you have a bag of 30 Piffeks (Coins) New Bags (if looked into): One has a bag of broken coins from dead civilizations, Babylon, Persepolis, Carthage, and Llion (Troy). The second bag has 7 necklaces inside which are a crystal on a chain. And the Third bag is full of a dust/powder. You all her a whisper in your head, please go check your roll threads to see what it is. Everyone bar two have a different whisper.

When the group approached the pilers Dmitry took a look around, "Okay we've picked our path, but before we go any further I think we need to get reacquainted. So I'll start I'm Dmitry Adamson." He looked to Lili because he knew now what she looked like. As he waited for the group to to speak up he looked around at their current surroundings. "Right epically if we're going to be saving anyone we first have to make sure we are safe ourselves, we won' be any use if we're trying to save each other. WE move and work as a group, NO one runs off!"

"Well I guess I a bunch of broken coins?" She takes a few out and looks at them. She can tell that they come from long dead civilizations. "Not sure what we can do with these." she shrugs and puts the broken coins in the bag and ties the pouch to her wrist.
She hears the rustling of trees sounding off and she looks towards the sound. Off in the distance she thinks she sees roofs but she isn't sure as they seem far away. "Um, does anyone else notice the roofs?" she turns and looks at everyone that joined them. Blinking as if she just noticed that people changed.
"Um, who is who? You all look and sound different. Okay, bro you look weird. It's me Mattie." Then she hears a voice in her head and she looks around to see who spoke.
"Uh, what? Did you all hear that?"

Matilda looks in her bag and sees the 7 necklaces in the bag. They look really pretty she thought to herself. If had been given one I'd be happy.
She hears the whisper about a woman who cannot be awaken alone and and brothers and sisters. What the heck does that mean. Is this why I'm here?

"Looks like a town up ahead, yea." Jillian nods and then turns around to Dmitry and smiles, offering her hand, "I'm Jillian, I have a few classes with Liliana and met Mattie at camp." she said, hoping that that would be enough of a hint what she was without alerting the muggles, while reassuring the others that she was who she said. He was an Adamson alright, take charge attitude already showing. She was beginning to form a mental map of the family, Mattie calling him bro helped.
She looks around just before Mattie asks, "I heard something.. same voice as that guy back there."

Hearing this teenager take charge. Yes in a different body makes her click on that this new guy also knows the kids.
She walks up to Jermey and says to him "I found these in that bag. I also heard something as well. I think I've found my purpose"

Dmitry was going around looking in turn at each member of the group, putting faces to names when about halfway through the group he stopped and started looking around over his shoulder. "OKAY who's the ventriloquist, This throwing your voice thing is not cool. There's a time and place and right now is neither." He kept looking around seeing everyone else reacting as if someone whispering in their ears, "you guys just had someone whisper in your ear didn't you?"
Something about this place wasn't adding up. The way everything looked, moved, felt, and smelled. It was all off, the more he thought about it the more it was all becoming clear, Where was quickly not a geographic question. It was more like a matter of current existence or consciousness. God what he wouldn't give for his acid green expandable note book and a diction quill.

"Okay so Hypnos told me, "She grew from a wound in the desert. That wound must now be healed. None shall drink of the Desert's blood." So um yeah I've no idea what that means. Maybe a riddle?"
She looks at the Matilda and Lili. "What are in your bags?"

Matilda opens up her bag and gets out the 7 necklaces to show to Mattie. "When I looked into the bag. I found these. No idea who they belong to".
She looks up to everyone and using her best librarian voice she says to everyone "right I heard a voice from possibly Hypnos. I have no idea if we heard the same one" she takes a breath before continuing
"Listen I get it that some people know others better but if we are going to save the dreamers. We work together as one team and not two smaller ones"

Dmtitry looked from Mattie to Matilda, "hmm, from what Mattie said and what I heard, I would venture an educated guess that we didn't. And Lili's right, if we find things like these bags then they are meant to help us." He looks over towards Matilda H. "right that now makes 4 out of 7 that agree we need to be a group." he turned to face her "sorry, trying to put faces to names. I don't think I caught your's." He extended his hand in a welcoming gesture.

"Staying calm and working as one team makes sense, we were called here together after all." Jillian spoke carefully, she was still quite confused herself. "I think we all must have heard something and what I heard was not what you just said, Mattie."
She turns and smiles at Matilda, "You seem fairly calm about all this, so I am willing to trust you. I'll admit the only people I know here are Mattie and Liliana," she nodded at each of the girls while saying their names, "but until I see reason otherwise, we are all in this together and we need to show some trust. I am willing to do that, I hope others are as well."

Matilda sees Dmitry walk up to her with a hand extended "I'm Matilda and the other gentleman is Jermey".
She then smiles back at Jillian. "I might appear to look really calm but in reality I'm not right now. Things are strange but I just believe that we need to work together and try and keep calm" she didn't want to let on that she's seen werid stuff in the past.

Since the water of the Ocean began to dry in the clothes of Jeremy he began to feel as if he wasnt in control of himself, or at least thats what he recalls. Being told of the River Lethe, to the sleeping Gods realm. The star chart. Jilliand smiling face. The constant reassuring voice of Matilda keeping him grounded. The strange man talking to a small number of the group. Hidden knowledge that revealed itself. Matilda telling him the responsibilities they face. Before the change of clothes. His mind couldnt fathom what is happening. Stupidity briefly took control.
Then the whisper.....a whisper...thats all that he could feel, hear and taste was the whisper.
Slowly he began to reclaim himself, as the trees began to surround him and the wind began to whistle.....the wind....the wind?
Following Matilda to the bag and being shown the necklaces finally brought Jeremy out of the daze.
"Yes, yes...the wind.." he says to himself in a whisper. "Oh, im sorry...im Jeremy Hickory....all this" spreading his arms out in a vague attempt to encompass everything." ...is a bit new to me.

Rolling an Idea (INT) Roll for some of you with bags, Lilliana's powder is not as obvious so a roll will not help other than it must be used for -something-.
Dimitri: Your coins are clearly to pay for goods and services, in fact, you wonder if you could make more if you tried hard enough.
Harrow: They are pretty, each individual crystal necklace almost sparkles like an eye within. It is obvious now to you that there are 7 members of the group present and 7 necklaces.
Mattie: Looking into your bag at the coins you do notice a couple that could go together, it looks like a bag of snapped coins and they are all in there. They are very ancient looking.

Matilda starts to work out the there are 7 necklaces for 7 people, possibly in this group. "Okay now I've work out possibly who they could be for. Now why" she says to herself.

For the first time Jeremy surveys his surroundings. And says to Matilda "This is a well travelled path, I fear they may be more than just us here." He looks towards some nearby trees. "By the looks of it people have been harvesting the berries and fruits from the trees."
Jeremy turns to the rest of the group for the first time. "I apologise for my lack of speech recently. " he says with a queens english accent." But this is my first time into such endeavours...wel this deep at least. I have some knowledge of this place, sometimes called the dreamland. Usually full of people like us, who are dreamers. But usually a dreamer can manifest things upon thought. " Jeremy proceeds to stare at his open palm trying to imagine a book.

Jeremy manifests a book into his hands (of his choosing, within reason), and gains 5 points in the 'dreaming' skill.

Matilda listens to what Jermey says about the path "So there is a chance that we're not the first group of dreamers Hypnos has brought here" she says to him.
She smiles when he speaks to the group for the first time. He's a clever guy she thought. She sees the book manifest in his hand and just looks confused "Did you dream or request that book?'

"Rather a large chance I would imagine." He says to Matilda.....not taking his eyes of the old and tattered book that resides in his hands.
For a moment Jeremy stares silently at it before. "I didnt think it would work." He then looks at Matilda then at everyone else, and back at Matilda his face resonating awe."I just sort of imagined it was there. A mix of dream and will I suppose!"

Matilda keeps looking at this book that has just appeared in Jermey's hands and doesn't know what else to say about it. She looks in awe at the book.
She turns to the others and waits to see what the others are doing. She once again thinks of her God wondering if this is a test or if Hypnos has done this on his own will.
