Post from Fremea on actoins.. Fremea, staying in disguise so as not to make anyone suspect her, looks at the ... girl? No, woman, and decides that if her fate is to be saved, those here will make a go at it. When she speaks in a tongue Fremea understands, the words hang on her, a bit familiar in a way. She frowns and then hears a couple speak up to let her be taken away by the party, to make sure she is "dealt" with. Fremea thinks stealing is a fine thing, only if you don't get caught, but this one was doing it to survive and that is completely different. She remembers her own time having to figure out how to survive when she was left on her own and then again, when she escaped her own enslavement. She nods approval of having the woman join them, if not only to help her, but to make sure she is not cut down by those they have no empathy for the struggling. Fremea speaks up in Katai, "I will pay for whatever was stolen, to make it right for her to have food." She will pull out a gold and flick it to the ground in front of the 'humans'. "I hope that will be enough." Of course she realizes that this is probably the wrong kind of coinage, but hopes they will recognize gold for what it is anyway. She looks to Arawn to translate, or whoever can.

"He’s unsteady wherever he is", a GM: Ack. From Kiet: [Re: Actions] Whoa! Turn a corner and run into a mob. …. GM: Ack. From Arawn: [Re: Actions] "What was she trying to steal?," Arawn asked of the seeming … GM: Ack. -------------------------------------------------------------------- [New Stuff] [Ma 4th, 1636TH] [Time: 7:34am] Gnorf asks Dorhak about Arawn and the view of Besamer. Dorhak chuckles slightly. "He’s unsteady wherever he is", a good-natured but awful looking grin on his lips. "He's fine, for an elf. Just impetuous." He stops and looks at Gnorf and asks "But what is a 'sea elf'? I’ve heard of a sea lion before, but sea elf?" Dorhak shakes his head. After Gnorf asks his question of the Bessemer appearance, Dorhak responds "it’s not confusion, but more like hard to grasp. It just looks wrong. Especially no facial hair on the females. I do like to nuzzle me some soft cheek." Gnorff chuckles, “we believe in a open life and thus a open face. There is some deep meaning I'm sure but is just so. As to Sea Elves? Some land far to the north east of us or east of Harn if I recall. The silly elves like the water and so use ships and all that stuff. I understand most elves love forest so water area is kinda odd to me. Never been there but hear they keep to themselves.” [Time: 8:57 am – Besam, Eastern Lands, Dwarf Village] After coming on the scene with the human woman to be punished, Dorhak listens to Gnorf. "I’m pretty peaceful too, preferring to sculpt stone. But they say she was caught stealing! She's lucky she didn’t try that with real dwarves but humans instead. Had it been me, the rope would have been around her ugly little neck, not wrapped about her hands!" The woman doesn't seem to understand the humans or dwarves as sh flexes her fingers from the ropes. Whoa! Turn a corner and run into a mob. Well, this is interesting at least. Of course, if they are trying to inflict real punishment they are doing it all wrong. Amateurs. Want to really frighten her? Do things to her remaining eye. Nobody wants to be blind. Then throw her over the border and let the raider source deal with the results. You can't lust after things you can’t see. Or, at least, it is more difficult. Kiet has a hunch. "Keep her hands tied!" he offers up in Dwarf Elder. Wouldn’t want her to do anything that would hurt anyone. Not that he thinks she can, but why take chances. "You might also want to stuff her mouth with a sock." Curses are, after all, a real thing. "What was she trying to steal?," Arawn asked of the seeming leader of the human settlement. Gnorf translates for Arawn, “food and water. Doesn't matter if she is a Lemasan...” Despite appearances he was not quick to judge without getting the details. After all one can steal for many different reasons, whether out of greed or hunger and desperation. And even the idea that she might have murdered one of the lemasan's remained uncertain. Arawn steps forward. Gnorf looks impatient, “we have a long trip..lets move on.” Arawn looked the woman in the eye, giving her a look bereft of judgement. "What is your name? And what is your story?" Arawn asks. Tsia swallows nervously, feeling as if she's gone from one group of tormentors to yet another group. Her fate once again in the hands of the Kami and Yokai. As of late her luck has been nothing but ill. She wonders if the capricious Yokai weren't to blame but for now, she has to deal with the game pieces laid out before her. If going by the harsh tones by two of them, she can only guess it's yet another group that will enslave her after tormenting her. Upon hearing one of them speaking in less than harsh tones she looks at him ans asks in Katai. "My name is Tsia Phan, do I owe my freedom to you? Or have I just gone from one slaver to another? I was with those you called raiders, my business had concluded with them once I delivered a package my employer deemed it necessary to give one of their group. I will admit, they had tricked me. Travel with them to obtain the payment as agreed upon. I have little reason to lie at this time, as death to these or death to your hands it matters little. I had not partaken upon the predations the raiders chose to perform. To these gaijin I am a raider regardless in their eyes. Somehow the raiders thought to make me a slave or other ideas I do not know. I had left them after providing a male who didn't take no for an answer a professional response. He died, I left and these gaijin caught me, I am a raider regardless in their eyes even if I could speak their tongue it would matter little. "As for my story? I can only offer, be careful when you make a deal with Yokai, they demand much for the gifts they offer," as she raises her hand up to her face and brushes two fingers into the empty socket. "That was over a decade ago when the Yokai came across a scared little girl and promised much if but demanded my eye and part of my face. It wasn't much of a choice then and then as of now, I would still give the payment," she says definitely ready to give an account for herself if needed as she tries to move into a stance to grab her daggers that are missing. Those who know Katai are surprised to hear those words. Unali shifts a bit further ahead and listens intently So the woman is not Lemasan? Dorhak and Gnorf look bored at the silly Katai words they don't understand. A few moments into her speech two men approach and grab the woman prepared to tie her up again and haul her away. The leader gestures to one to gag her as Kiet suggested but the woman finished her speech as the find something to do just that. GM: Actions? Comments? Next update...Mon/Tue? GM: A good place to stop. I've heard from Gilbert/Mournath. He moved and got super busy with work. I know 3 have been sick with flu. Stuff happens. I also heard from Chris but got also distracted by real life. Anyways, since this is out Thursday I'll try to do another update Mon or Tue since sat would be too soon.
