    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron gestures to Jalakaag. “Oh yeah, that makes me curious, too. We should take a look at it; and unless you are against it, I would like to hang around for a day or two to see if anyone comes out here.” d10 = 6, 1

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron nods to indicate that he is hearing Jalakaag. He speaks across to Luterrio. “We agree. We will simply give you coin at this time. We will keep our word. We expect your people to honor the agreement.” d10 = 3, 8

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    In his usual manner of habit, Whiron removes his hat and runs his left hand through his hair before replacing it. “Your offer seems reasonable and being in skiffs upon the water only hints at a threat. Some foolish Wharf Rats thought to beat and rob us. Were we standing in the mud like then, I...

    The Mystery in Bridgetown

    The unneeded item that the two are carrying are only of commercial value so Whisper has no qualms about trading any of them. He certainly accompanies his friend to see Killian and, in his quiet way, offers additions to the story. Once the two are satisfied with their visitations, he simply...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron shrugs for his friend. “There are fewer of us Centrins than you Ansylins, but I do not know him. He acts like he is important. I doubt that he is. I am with you. We go away from the housing and ignore that mouth piece.” d10 = 7, 2

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron takes in one deep breath and releases it slowly. It is enough to steady him. He then accelerates his natural healing process while moving toward the dead lizard. “I am better at manipulating liquids and aromas than air or sound like you focus on. I seem to have gotten a bit more...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Basically, the touch of his skin is currently toxic; but with lizards teeth sunk into it, Whiron has no intention to wait to see if the lizards will be overcome. Trying to keep his balance by shifting his free leg, he clasps his hands together and tries to whip the lizard from his arm. d10 = 5, 6

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Though his understanding of how to manipulate walines has improved, Whiron knows that his power is still less than that of his friend. Noticing that the lizards are slower, he forsakes his staff to launch a snail shell, mystically augmented to generate a pulse of sound when it strikes. He also...

    The Mystery in Bridgetown

    Undeterred by the previous failure, Whisper grabs the second spider and tries the same thing. d10 = 2, 7

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron shifts his stance for better balance and readies his skiff pole. Unlike his friend, he has discovered no mystical task to protect himself. He has to survive without it. “Oh sure, we complain of monotony, and we get marsh lizards! Go figure!”d10 = 7, 2

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron rolls his whole head instead of just his eyes, since he is standing in the front of the skiff, while his friend is aft. “You and me both! You and me both. No, I do not think we can go four days yet. We cut pretty close to even doing three days. Maybe with a little more experience we can...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron has an epiphany. It is so strong that he stops moving for a couple of seconds. “I have an idea, and I feel awful that I did not think of it sooner. We should help our parents. We have only been supporting ourselves for two Cycles. Our current turn around on our hunting expeditions is...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron removes his hat nad pulls back his hair with his left hand before replacing the hat. “Yes, you are right. We are running on habit. I am, of course using an estimate, but since those guards robbed us and we have reduced our return trips this season, I think that we will be close, even with...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron rubbs the side of his head for another second, then adjusts his hat. “Yeah, I am fine. It was a calulated risk. I needed to say something so that they would not kill us but also so that the would not simply follow us around. No one can know our secret. Eventually we will be able to take...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron makes eye contact with Jalakaag and nods back almost imperceptibly. He understands that this is a losing situation, but he figures that being easy of a target, even against javelineers, will have even more negative consequences. He wants to maintain some dignity without getting he and his...
