[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 1184253, member: 1125"] The sun has begun to rise up over the horizon by the time the ritual is complete, you feel revitalised as the Spirits have given their strength and protection for the task ahead. The priests who has been tending the fire to roast a sweet potato, breaks the food into peices and then hands these to Chief Makea Takanui. "Eat this" he says passing a peice to each of you "it will provide some protection from hostile spirits." A remianing peice is kept and handed to the Shaman Puna Tani. "This peice is for the Aitua Tamumu who is Lord of Waihoro. If you meet him then you must honor him - is this clear?." Satisfied you are lead out of the Malae as the Sun rises yet higher and where your equipment waits. Your equipment too is sprinkled with blessed water ready for use. Various weapons have been gathered from which you may choose. Makea Takanui picks up the Sharktooth club which he was given and hands this to Tatiki "I give you use of your gift to me" he smiles reassuringly "use it well, and return it safely to my hand." .... After collecting your gear you are escorted back down towards the village when many wait to see you off. Maeharoa and his warriors stand by to salute you. Ru-Hina stands amongst the crowd alongside Mania and her aunt, Lani's mother, Tanafa Rongua Takanui. Even Wai's grandmother is there supported by he Opunga Afa and others of Wais family. As you appear Ru-Hina steps forward and daubs red ochre on the cheeks of each of you, red the color of chiefs, and thus marking you as carrying the mana of Takanui. ([I]ooc RP as you choose here, make farewells and any comments you think appropriate[/I]) Once farewells are made you head out of the village gate and head along the paths that threads through the plantations. Where some of the commoners and village slaves stand and wave as you pass. You know that there are three routes which you could take to your destination -by sea you can usually go to Kahe beach with little trouble, though Waihoro is difficult being plagued with jagged rocks and tricky currents, and of course the attacks of the previous day came from the sea so who knows what might lie that way. The overland routes are longer, one takes you through the jungles, over the hills and down to Kahe beach and from there maybe up to Waihoro. The other is a more direct path to Waihoro, but that is via 'the Cut', a narrow canyon which cuts its way through the foothills of Tuirangi, and which has long been used by taipo and cannibals to attack unwary travellers. The sky above you is clear and blue with aintly a feint wafting of cloud, the sun is shines bright, a gentle breezes blows carrying the fragrance of the jungle down to you, and the waves continue to lap against the shore. So which way will you go? [/QUOTE]
