Still afternoon -let's go spelunking!

1 or 5 I think. Probably 1 would be more successful.

Taco

I hate to let the family down but I think we should listen to Halwen. I don't suppose we need to, but maybe it is the best idea.

Resting before questing? I guess that makes sense.

Cream

Copy

Ready for another quest?

Smoke

Meditate is fine I was just put off by the temporary part of it.

Wait, our payment is the loot? We are being short changed here! I'd say Granite Bloom for the earth temple later and then other quest or rest first depending on if you guys think we are up for it.

Garish

Tortoise

Is there a Spirit Temple or is the Earth the last one? I think we have completed all the other challenges.

You think we should be hunting rogue el;ementals and levelling up a bit?

Silent

I think we need to check on Kevin.

Bee

Coordinating sounds sensible. I think visiting the other shrines should be our top priority, but not to the extent of ignoring whatever plot line is happening around the village, if there is any.

They really do have all the amenities - showers, bars, warded cells - no wonder it comes do highly recommended, lol.

Surely we should just rest? Though does it mean in the cell or going back to our free room first? What is the point of free stuff if you don't use it?

1 or 2 I think, but not really sure.

I can understand perhaps the way Jordan wrote the first few books - perhaps in twisted real life foreshadowing of his own untimely demise, he did not want people to think the pay off was only coming 5-6 books hence and therefore wait until the series was finished. One of the main issues I think with the first book especially is hindsight. If you have no knowledge of the story, it is masterful in explaining the building blocks you need to understand the Dragon's story without being obvious about it. A rough fantastical background is laid down in the common imagination (evil Aes Sedai and gem encrusted Warders). The One Power is explained through Egwene's discovery that she was born with the spark. The trolloc wars and the thousands of years of struggle against the Shadow is explained through the history of Manetheren. Rand almost appears as an old fashioned observatory narrator, a modern day Captain Hastings, a sounding board for our ignorant reactions. However, once you have access to the books, even if you don't read the blurbs of the later books, the third is called the Dragon Reborn, so there is no doubt as to what is coming, no real difficulty in guessing Rand's future role. I mean the Dragon could be an antagonist or a mentor or misunderstood in some way, but really, the breadcrumming of information must seem so obvious and slow. This is something that the show had to deal with and why for me at least the first seasons were always going to be problematic.

Yay, now we can just jump off to get back home.

I think means we cannot cast it. But I'm not sure.
