Post from Kell on actions... Kell listens to their babbling, not understanding a word of Salaqarii- gibberish. Maybe soon he will learn some of the language. Today he's tired and just wants to know what is next. To the farmer, in Katai, "Do you speak Katai?" In Marentian, "Do you speak Marentian?" Attempting to find a language everyone speaks. In Katai to the group, "We shouldn't stay long. Let's find a good spot to use as a base in the city. This farm can be our backup if things go terribly wrong. Whilst they shouldn't, I want a backup in this land."

GM: Ack. -------------------------------------------------------------- [New Stuff] [Sepes 28th, 1634TH] [Location: North of Salaqara, Donara] [Time: 7:26am] The Farmer looks to the party taking a long look at Raban and Unali for some reason. He eyes the party with a bit of curiusity as well as apprehension. A bemused smile comes upon him as he looks Kell up and down. After presenting Fremea to Niv Salis Arawn had grown quiet, allowing the faerry or any others in the party the opportunity to speak with the farmer. As the seconds ticked by without word the Alfar took it upon himself to continue the engagement before the silence grew uncomfortable. "He's in the process of learning the local tongue and meant no disrespect," he responded when Niv questioned Kell. "As for the 'Old Man', indeed, his memory is as long as his years," he continued, a smile in his eyes. "But I'm sure he would be as appreciative as my companions and I would be if you could find us a nice quiet place to sit and talk with you in private." Fremea seems to be a bit uncomfortable and is thinking of what she is going to say. She hoped that Arawn would just speak for her, but he seems to think she should explain something. After a few seconds, Arawn does speak up, but not about what, just to get them some where else. In Salaqi, "Yes .. um, a private place would be good." The farmer looks to the party and then back to Raban for some reason. He looks around at the barn and around the large farm area. "Well my wife is visiting her cousin. So we can move inside. I suppose if you were here to kill or rob me you could easily do it. So let's move." He shrugs. The Farmer considers calling his boys but what could they do against this group? He opens the front door to reveal a medium sized parlor. For a peasant it would be a great hall. But for a farm house it is modest. It has two couches and a small knee tall table for drinks or snacks. There are four well worn out cushioned chairs as well. To the right is a kitchen area with a large table that could seat 6. To the left are other rooms. "Have a seat we should be alone for a bit." With that he takes out a rag from a back pocket and wipes his hands and sits down on the couch. The rest can take the couches and chairs but one will have to sit in the kitchen which they can listen but not see the parlor fully. "Your dog and that...thing will need to remain outside. Wife would kill me if they were outside." Niv points to Squirt. Raban looks to Kell. "A bit small ceiling I'll just wait outside and take Squirt and the wolf." He then takes Squirt and walks to the front yard while Corona sits on the roof of the farmhouse. Fremea decides to sit next to Niv while Arawn sits in a chair to the right of Niv. Fremea continues speaking, "I ... my party ... friends," she is unsure of how to even begin or what to say to this stranger that the Elder entrusted them with, "... we are here to find my parents that I was taken away from so many years ago." Looking at this farmer who does seem like he would understand what she is really wanting, but hoping. After a few seconds she takes a deep breath, lets it out slowly and starts again. "I apologize for my nervousness and for the abrupt appearance. I hope we did not cause any harm. I am in search for my parents, who have been hiding out, supposedly dead, though I have reasons to believe they are not. We were given this spot to use to come closer to the city to start our investigation. Though you may not need to help us any further than allowing us to come through your farm, I would ask if you can give us any contacts or information that might be useful." Though it was not a question, she looks to Niv to see if he might answer. Last to enter the house is Kiet who does a few words of something that is probably Lemasan under his breath making him a bit hard to understand. He does a quick few gestures and then sits down next to Kell. Kell looks odd with his hands free of Squirt but decides to place them on his lap. "I am no bounty hunter. I was a ....trader of sorts in wanted and unwanted goods and services." Niv tries to look at the party for the reaction. The party already knows he was a smuggler so there is little surprise. "I have not been in the game for a few years. I've settled down once the rebels got a bit happy go lucky. " He looks to Fremea. "Look we are simple people here. We believe in simple speak. Do not fear me. Clearly I'm no threat to you folks. I may not be in the game but I may know a few folks I could help. But where do you begin? Were your parents in Salaqara? Were they famous or wanted like that? Without a bit more details I can't give you much. I have...associates in a few cities but I would have no clue where you should go. Why not just go to the local authorities?" Then a bit of realization dawns on his face. He looks to the odd group and then sits back. "You are not from here? Where do you call home? Clearly to find me you need....more services from the fringe of society rather than the leaders." Niv sits back and stroking his chin in thought of the situation and the odd people in front of him. Arawn can read him like a book. The man is clearly starting to doubt the situation and wonder how much danger he and his family might be in. After a few long moments he asks. "What contacts do you need and where? Who do you seek in Salaqara?" Actions? Comments? Next Update....Friday... GM: A short update. This is the long chat part of a pbem that takes time. _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@list.powersandperils.org http://www.powersandperils.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnpgm _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@list.powersandperils.org http://www.powersandperils.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnpgm
