[pnpgm] necklace & redistribute loads

[Alex Koponen]

Z'leyra will pay the ferry fees.

As the party is ferried across the water Z'leyra first suggests to 
Corona that this would be a good time for him to catch a fish for him to 
eat as we would be away from the coast during much of the next few weeks 
with few opportunities to catch fish except in the occasional stream or 
pond.

Next Z'leyra goes to the new party members and tries to ascertain what 
languages (including sign language) that they might know. If Pyandalgor 
and Zabyra don't speak Marentian she will determine which to loan the 
necklace to by whichever has least number of languages in common with 
party members (whichever would have the most difficulty communicating 
with the party will get the loan of the necklace first, then alternate 
till both learn Marentian). To both of them she will describe the magic 
of the necklace and how to use it. "This necklace is enchanted to once 
per day enable the wearer to have a chance of learning the spoken 
language of someone who is speaking nearby. To trigger the magic one 
must put it on around ones neck, hold the knot in your hand and say (in 
Marentian) 'Understand'. This will give you a chance to learn the 
language that you concentrate on listening to. It doesn't always work 
and it works more reliably for some than others. Hopefully in a few days 
both of you will be able to speak Marentian. I would be interested in 
learning any other languages you might be proficient in." She then loans 
the necklace to one of them.

After that Z'leyra will go calm, comb and chat with the horses. She will 
see which thinks they might be overloaded and slowed. When time for 
unloading from the ferry she will suggest to the folks that are slowing 
their horse by the encumberance that they redistribute some of their 
gear to the horses that are being used as packhorses.
