Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): “Greetings, Sir”
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “An honor to meet you, Sir”
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) kneels at jarl's feet lifting her chin in anticipation of his leash, trembling at the touch of his fingers on her neck, “thank you, my Jarl”
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “I am Ravenheart Dionysus, Jarl of Wittering Creek,” finishes snapping on the leash and then looks to the man
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Come" turning himself towards the jarl.
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Aye, follow the walk"
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “many twists and turns, Blessed One”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "So, you managed to get your Jarl here" facing the mul ( slave ).
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “I'm not sure how much was told to you, Blessed One”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Welcome Sir...welcome at the home base of our Order."
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) nods, not lifting her gaze from the ground....yes, Blessed One
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): I thank you
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Do you want me to tour you...? Or do you want to come directly to the reason you came for?"
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): My apologies for delaying my trip to your land...I think come directly to the point would be the wiser choice
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Let us talk...."
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “the beast found an object on our lands, supposedly left by the owner, but being of humble origins and limited education, we know not what it is”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi) nods and listens carefully..
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Does it speak?"
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) kneels, quietly letting the Free go about the business of the Free while she concentrates on the sounds from the jungle, recognizing some, but unsure of others, wondering if the pack of wolves they avoided before are still out there or if they had moved on
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “I was loath to carry it around, but do have an accurate depiction of what it looks like....no speaking we have heard”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "I favor you, describe me the object" shaking his head as he not meant the beast.
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus) hands the man the first parchment with an image of a package wrapped in fur, with a strange rune upon it
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) focuses back on the concentration hearing the word beast, waiting to hear any further command, going back to her own thoughts as shelooks and reaches back to scratch her ankle, brushing off a tiny bug as it scuttles over her heel
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Hum..." staring at it "does it make a ticking sound, Sir?"
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “Images of three figures adorn the top...we believe….no, no ticking sound..no sound at all until the symbol it touched”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "It makes sound when it's touched?"
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “then it flies open as if by magic revealing a pie shaped shard. Here is a rubbing of what it looks like,” handing over another scroll, “Again the symbols are unknown to us”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Interesting....have you seen any Kurii around, Sir?"
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “We have a Kur who we have seen around the village...basically being a nuisance...terrorizing the women”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "What else can a Kurr do.., "smiled softly but keep his eyes on the drawings "have you seen other strange objects, like eggs perhaps?"
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “The only eggs I have seen are those of vulo..but they have been in unique abundance”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "How do the women react, or ..."pointing the beast "the beasts..on the Kurii?"
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “Most scream, then run and hide...the one new girl did say she discoursed with it...I'm still surprised her head is still on her shoulders...she has been warned of their danger”
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) squirms as she kneels feeling the Blessed Ones finger pointing at her, biting her bottom lip keeping her eyes averted, hiding the fact that the thought of the Kur excites her
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Hum, it might be too early...but did she had....hm, a certain contact with the Kurii...." hoping the Jarl would understand the real content of His question.
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “the beast, kia, said she petted it...and found it friendly..the sense of the girl may be in question”
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) holding her breath as she kneels at her Jarl's feet , almost bringing blood as she bites her lip so hard, wincing as she wonders why the Blessed One wants to know
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "If the woman, or a beast had some intim contact, you better end its life."
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “This beast and the Lady Sefirah were trapped above the tearoom until the creature was chased away”
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): I know of no intimate contact...could they actually survive such.
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi) shrugs "just in case..."as he still stares at the scroll.
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) eyes widen....still holding her breath, afraid for her life to even move, her heart racing, slamming against her chest
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi) sees the beast getting a bit restless, but says nothing.
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “A visitor to our village, upon seeing the inner item believed it to be valuable...I'm not so sure. That, Blessed One, is why I have come to you for council and advise”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "I dont have the impression ...." shakes his head “naye, i dont think it 's a weapon used by the Kurii. Your priests, have you inquired their help?"
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “We are a remote village, with not initiates”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi) tilts his head a bit, looking at the jarl.."you are adressed with Jarl, are you from the North, Sir?"
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “We are on the southern edge of the great northern forest...on the Clearchus road between Koroba and Harfax”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "We ever had a Monastery on that same edge Sir, Caledonia was the place."
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): It seems I've heard of Caledonia, but I've never been there.
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Come..." as he lifts up his left arm..."walk with me, towards the mul who is lost.... He is at the other side of the Monastery."
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Our precious gift...." as he sees the temple slave.
arax (araxxaxx.bayn): “Tal, Blessed One.”
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus) follows the man as he talks to the white clad thrall
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) looks curiously down at the male slave as he offers himself to the whip, hardly ever having the chance to see one
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi) nods...bends over and not usual, touching the mul his head. "Sit well, raise..."
arax (araxxaxx.bayn) remains still
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi) nods
arax (araxxaxx.bayn) goes into a respectful kneel
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "the proper kneel of a mul...., kneels closed...as we are not interested in a slave heaths.."
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus) looks at the male, then back at the initiate
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) dragging her eyes from the male across the grass, never lifting them to the white caste she settles restlessly beside her Jarl
arax (araxxaxx.bayn) lowers his head "Yes, Blessed One." pressing his knees tighter together against the steel of his belt
shakti (thyme.lordenwych): in tower already, squeezing her highs together more tightly as the Blessed One speaks
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Well...we are going to help you, Sir."
arax (araxxaxx.bayn) listens intently
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “Are you familiar with the symbols on the parchments..and any aid in this matter we greatly appreciate”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi) accepted the map...and nods to the man "at the moment i dont see any danger, but you need to be aware...Sir. Let some follow the Kurii."
arax (araxxaxx.bayn) 's eyes widen at the mention of the Others. he had never seen one but in Kassau, so far north, they were feared.
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) stiffens, tensing at the mention again of the Kur, fully now understanding the Blessed Ones meaning
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi) hearing the man's question “i do believe i reckonize some, but since i can not see clear ...i need a better study...i will send some one, or i will even take a look myself."
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “I have with this meeting gained greater concern over the situation I find my village in”
arax (araxxaxx.bayn) makes a small gesture, begging permission to speak
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi) lifts His hand as a sign to speak.
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “A Kurii Hand could decimate our small community”
arax (araxxaxx.bayn): “boy has been taught to read ancient writings, for boy's work in the Sardar Library. Perhaps boy can read any mysterious writings? i will try, if Blessed One wishes it.”
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): Looks to both the man and the boy, hoping it is so
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "You muls are worth more than we ever will understand..." smiles, turning his head back to the Man.
arax (araxxaxx.bayn) smiles hopefully
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) daring to let her heart swell at the Blessed Ones words, her mind racing
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Aye Sir, let us be to concrete for now. Answers is what you need, right?" doesn’t wait for a reply, "We will investigate the object and we will travel down, to your village. Only on one condition...." stopped as he glanced at the Man “keep the Kurr out of our sight!"
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “Answers is what we hoped for”
arax (araxxaxx.bayn) gasps at that, terrified of the Kurii
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): the Kur in question has only been seen in the early morning hours...and not every day...seemingly depending on the fill of it belly
arax (araxxaxx.bayn) shivers
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): it's belly
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "A Kurii has a excellent nose..." smiled at the Man in front of him.
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “But I assure your safety within our village”
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) trembles stopping herself from fainting by digging her fingernails into her thighs, hoping the Men to busy to notice
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Fine, no doubt for you hospitality...."nods at the Man.
arax (araxxaxx.bayn) moves closer to the Initiate for safety
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): A bit on edge, jumps as the newcomer comes running up
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi) turns his head to the new arrival "Ah, the mul Parvin...."
Parvin (xcept.atlas) runs up after jogging through the jungle, I kneel at the Initiate's left, keeping my eyes down, I don't greet until acknowledged. "Tal, Blessed One. Tal, Master. Greetings kajirae."
arax (araxxaxx.bayn) says softly "Tal, kajirus."
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi) ticks the shoulder of the temple slave, still watching the Man in front. "mul, meet the kajirus, one who you can trust"
arax (araxxaxx.bayn): “Yes, Blessed One.”
Parvin (xcept.atlas) gives the temple slave a goofy missing tooth smile in greeting
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “greetings”...looking briefly at the kajirus
shakti (thyme.lordenwych) lifts her eyes slightly enrapt at seeing two male slaves having never been this close to see one, shudders noticing the one misses teeth
Parvin (xcept.atlas) tried to be reverent, I kept my head down and didn't fidget too much
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Parvin is a kajirus from the village down in the region, a fine boy...i have to admit. Knows the jungle as his own..." stopped there..looking up again at the Man "when can you be back at your village, Sir?"
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): I will return this evening, once we leave here
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "This is what we do, Sir..." once you back you will send me a beast..One which can lead me the way to your village, meanwhile..." looks down "we will study the ancient scripts and,” looks up, tilting his head, “we will brings you the answers you need"
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "but...' raises his hand "in return...you will allow the White Caste to investiate the build of a Priest-Kings Temple..."
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “We would consider that, sir...again I thanks for your help”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "The best answer you could give me, Sir, we will help you!"
Raven (ravenheart.dionysus): “I will send a guide tomorrow”
Stari (shanepaul.benazzi): "Aye, do so...we will be ready by then."
THE NEXT DAY A SCROLL WAS SENT BY MESSAGER TO THE INITAITE ASKING IF HE WAS READY TO VISIT THE VILLAGE, THIS WAS THE RESPONSE.....
