It's getting late, and she says "Return here tomorrow with Baltar after the tournaments," in a hissing voice. "I will reveal to him his future, and I will reveal to both of you the location of the enchantress. Baltar may be able to pay my price."
I want her to know upfront that I currently don't have gold but will pay her in the future. If she agrees to continue, tell her I am looking or Vanessa. I want to capture her before she causes anymore trouble and may well save her life. If she refuses, go to the tournaments.

"I can't express my gratitude for saving us from that..." says Spirit, "It's been so long. I know what's happened to Alfheim, and the Beast must be stopped before he controls the lives of the whole known world. And most of all, we must restore life to the forest of Alfheim."
"Whatever you say," smiles Marcus, "I'm so happy that we're still together."
Turis bows, "Masters, thank you... I am in debt to you for saving me. I will travel with you."
"WELL" breathes Phoenix, "I'm on my way to Darokin actually... sorry I can't help you."
"I think we can go there together," says Spirit, "we have a lot of work to do... our journeys will take us near that way anyhow."
"There's an army of dwarves coming from the west," you comment, "With Damian, Prudence, and Tomei..."
"Prudence?" asks Marcus. "We have to wait for them."
"I'm not waiting around for this," exclaims Phoenix. "I'm going to Darokin NOW!!! I mean, even around here we can't get a decent meal or anything. Stupid shadow elves. And I really don't care about any beast either..." and the complaining continues long into the next night...
You all sit around and listen to Spirit's plan of action... sitting with you are Turis (listening quietly), Marcus, Phoenix (still complaining), Naomi (quiet and seems to slip off into another world from time to time), and Grey Star.
"First," explains Spirit, "we're wasting our time trying to declare war... the Beast can't be killed by fighting Shadow Elves. And the Beast gives them power. In fact, he's growing more powerful all the time. When Prudence, Damian, and Tomei get here--"
"And Thoran," interupts Grey Star. "He's a friend of ours."
"Anyway," continues Spirit. "We'll wait for them to get here and try to convince them not to attack with the few soldiers they have left. I don't think it's worth it. Then we move south--"
"SOUTH?!" shouts Phoenix. "That does it! I'm definitely not going with you! I want to go to Darokin, not south!!!!!"
"We'll go to Darokin, but we have to go around south and rally help. We have friends in Kelvin who will come with us. We're going to need all the help we can get in fighting the Beast..."
"What?" cries Phoenix. "Are you crazy???? Fight the Beast... even his foot soldiers could kill us in about 2 seconds. You're definitely crazy" (And thus you get the idea of how Phoenix is taking this whole situaton.)
"AS I was saying... we go south, around through the Five Shires, and then north to Darokin, and then we continue on north into Glantri and then continue north to the Castle of the Ice Queen, where there's someone named Landon who might be able to help us find our way..."
"There is NO WAY that I'm going!!!" shouts Phoenix.
Suddenly, there is a loud crash in the Church...
.. Then you wake up! What a detailed dream. You wonder why you had that flash back. You are strangely worried about what the Beast will do next, but you manage to go back to sleep.
