Malchik Posted January 31, 2004 Author Share Posted January 31, 2004 Hodeini frowns. "You are free to go but surely you will at least stay to tell us news. We have much you may wish to hear, too. But if your quest is urgent I do understand. Our horsemen will take you to where you wish to be. I know you can run on the wind but it might not be safe to use your magic here, so close to El Rhun." He pauses. "Please, you may feel a little hurt but we are at war and whether or not you believe you are a special case, you will be treated as everyone else. As indeed would I were I to enter another Dan's lands!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimVig Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Zekic looks Hodeini in the eyes. "My companions are waiting for me to return. I wish now to reunite with them lest they start worrying about me. If you would bestow your hospitality on all of us when we should return, and as we do need information - we will, then I would be most grateful."

Malchik Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hodeini nods but then thinks. "Ah. One of the reasons for giving you that drink was to save your eyes. Speeding through the desert in sunlight can have an unfortunate effect on those not concentrating on the road. You have been 'asleep' for two days. I do hope your companions have not moved. I will ask my horsemen if they have heard of any news. Perhaps you have a means to contact them?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimVig Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Zekic looks at Hodeini. "Perhaps I can..." He pulls the anchor out of his backpack and uses it to determine Sammi's location. OOC: how is it used? So I can put some prose next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluventi Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Zekic? Zekic, where are you? Sammi focusses his thoughts on Zekic. Sammi had conferred with Zekic many a time via Telepathy, but for some reason this time was all that much harder. We're becoming worried Zekic. Please Respond?

Malchik Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 Sammi and KyrykkiSammi's attempt to contact Zekic does not work. There is some kind of magical interference in the way. You know he is alive but also seems more distant than you would have expected. Perhaps he has been imprisoned or caught by unfriendly people. Zekic(OOC, you need to be outside to use the anchor as it works by showing a bright shaft of light in the sky touching the ground where Sammi is. We'll assume that the tent flap is pulled back.) Zekic sees clearly that Sammi is a long way to the west but whether still at the camp site or whether he has started to follow you it is impossible to be sure. Sammi and Kyrykki are startled by the sudden appearance of the white glare. Why would Zekic be looking for them unless he was in trouble? Or has someone else got hold of the anchor?

SimVig Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Zekic looks at the beam for a while. "Hmm... They seem to be where I left them. They might be moving this way. If your riders bring me to the west the same way we came, we should meet up with them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 Zekic Suddenly you feel a chill in your mind. Your use of magic has been detected by another and you know the intent of this other is to destroy. If you try to join Sammi without dealing with it first you will lead the evil to all three of you. You can guess who it is, the usurper in El Rhun. Hodeini is nodding. "Of course we will return you. But please spare us a few moments of your time. You clearly do not know the situation in Tagfier. You will surely be safer if you do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimVig Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Zekic seems to think for a few moments, then says: "Yes, I will stay. You are right, I know nothing of what is going on. Would you tell me, what's going on in El Rhun?" He thinks again for a while. "Do you happen to have any other visitors in this camp at the moment?"

Malchik Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 Hodeini conducts you from the Council tent to his own, smaller and cosier. He arranges for the food and drink to be brought in. "I can tell you a lttle of El Rhun but first I will tell you of our troubles. You might undertsand then why we are so cautious. The six Dana have lived in peace for millennia. A few weeks ago a raid was made on the Hoshidan that appeared to be by another Dan, the Jegdan. It was not. It was an attempt to set the tribes against each other and originated elsewhere. Subsequently there were two other attempts. When all failed an army of strange mindless men supported by strange floating metal beasts attacked the Aldan. The Aldan has escaped with minor losses and inflicted a great vengeance but they are slowly being dispossessed of their lands. We will offer than shelter but need to be carefully they are who they say they are. As for El Rhun, there was a terrible disturbance there a little while ago and many fled. A party of nine is making its way west across our lands. A much larger party mainly of children have built an underground shelter, again on our lands. Several individuals have also fled. There is one close to us, not far from the walls of El Rhun. He would know more of what is happening in the city. We can take you to him if you wish. In answer to the third question. We have no other guests here." The food, rice and meat and a sweetend drink of sour milk arrives. The boys serve you courteously and bow as they leave. Hodeini nods at the drink. "This one is not drugged. Is there anything else you would know?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
