Zorlon - Levdia

[ThetaOrionis01]

Lurel nods. "When we return, Princess Siffli can tell you about Shaura. But we should go now, and find the Held, before the influence of the alien magic spreads further. Thank you for your warning about Inzil, too. I hope we will see you again soon, Thail - farewell for now."

 

He looks at the others, and last of all his gaze falls on Ari. "Will you lead us to the others? And can you tell us about Indril?"

[Switch]

Ford is distracted by Ari.

 

"Yes, I have... judging by this extinguished camp fire it looks like your people left here 2 days ago... and I found some burnt paper that might have some information on it, but it can't be lifted without it falling apart."

 

He is about to grab Lurel's attention when the old woman appears. He looks on and listens to her story quietly, trying not to butt in in the various conversations that spring forth.

 

'Sounds like we have all the answers now anyway. I guess I can leave the papers...'

[ThetaOrionis01]

Lurel notices Ford standing by what looks like an old campfire.

 

"Did you find anything, Ford?"

[Switch]

(OOC: I don't think Ari has told us his name yet, has he?)

 

Ford looks to Lurel.

 

"Yes... as I just explained to our friend, from the camp fire it looks like the Held left two days ago. Also there are some burnt pieces of paper left behind that might have some information on them. Though it does sound like our questions have been answered. I can't pick them up or they'll break apart... could you maybe use a spell?"

[Arturius]

"Who was she? that person who just appeared?"

 

"Yes I'll lead you to them"

 

"Can we read the bits of paper in place or do you know some way on recovering them?"

 

"indril, Well, she's nice enough really comes across a bit grouchy though. she's the chief of the held but her being the chief is more a title than any real power, still best to get her on side if we can."

 

"she's getting on a bit now, in her eighties!, and her eyesight is a little poor. she finds this a bit hard to accept, you see she used to be the best hunter in the village. and people looked to her for things but when her eyesight started to go she just couldn't do it anmore. She'd never accept that of course, way too stubbon to! And i guess accepting it would be like saying ok i'm old now i give up. she'd still be trying to hunt and probably shooting us by mistake if we didn't make her chief! it keeps her feeling needed and out of our way."

 

"The aproach i'd adopt is to tell her what the problem is even if you know the answer and ask her for advice that way its Her Leading. but i cant garentee that will work"

 

"i've never heard of any magic arrow that i can remember"(correct me if i'm wrong malchik)

 

"Lets grab what supplies we can if there are any left and head off"

[Arturius]

ooc> ford said who he was then ari did so yup he has said his name ;p

 

"I don't think we should miss an opertunity as far a clues go, everything on a plate is nice but doublechecks are useful if you can try something with the paper then go for it, we've got nothing to lose by trying"

[Malchik]

Princess Siffli somewhat imperiously puts in:

 

"I would like a break from your company. Would one of you be prepared to come with me to Witten. We might as well start looking there too. I can't imagine six of us will be required to get information from the Held. How about you Lisette?"

[ThetaOrionis01]

Lurel attempts to use magic on the pieces of paper - a spell to preserve them so that they can be read. If this is successful, he attempts to decipher whatever is written on the paper.

 

He looks up as Siffli speaks, and frowns. "I'm not sure that it is a good idea for us to split up - nor for you to investigate Witten without being able to use magic. We don't know the nature of that cloud, after all." He sighs. "However, we can't force you to come with us. Perhaps you should ask Thail for advice - and maybe you could tell her what you know of Shaura, and what Anima told us."

[Malchik]

Thail listens to Siffli'sstory.

 

"I remember Anima. She was a very hard working woman. It is sad about her son although he may not be dead. Zekic has told me my son, who I thought dead thousands of years since, is living. Ah, Tiemmo was such a lively child. He believes I am dead - one of life's ironies."

 

She looks at Siffli. "So Anima believes Anromainyus wishes to harm Shaura. I am sure that is the key to his downfall. Find the brothers. It seems we can find two but we will need to seek Daro and learn for sure if there is another. This is for a different time. You may be able to help by separating and going to Witten or you may waste your time. You will all need to go there in the end I am sure. But if you do go, do not go alone. The city of Witten is a dangerous place, you will need to be able to fight."

 

Lurel cannot do anything to the paper but Thail seeing what he is trying to do helps out. The paper is some kind of invoice that indicates three deliveries of arrows were made somewhere at about the time the troubles in Levdia started.

 

Ari knows nothing of deliveries. As far as he knew the Held did no kind of trading at all. He is as surprised as you are.

 

OOC> Off until Monday. Rehearsals AAAArgh! Decide by Monday if you wish to split up. Cheers.

[Arturius]

"So Who was trading? and whos side are they on and how did they find out? as far as i was aware no one traded at all with your kind! we didn't want that kind of attention."

 

ooc>who's fire was the letter on malchik

 

"I think splitting the group is a REALLY bad idea! however i'm certainly in no position to tell people where to go so i guess its down to you. I Must go to my people and check my friends and familly are ok! so thats me spoken for anyone who wants to come may"

 

"the arrows thing is odd i thought the village fletcher made all the arrows for the village!"

 

"I still don't rightly understand whats going on!"

 

ooc> i'm either no computer access today->tues morn or saturday eve-> tues morn
