    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron sighs and frowns. “You have a valid point. What are we doing out here? I cannot even remember. So much for a change in venue. One more Tenday then we go back to see if we can make a difference.” d10 = 9, 4

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron removes his hat and pulls back his hair before replacing it. He agrees with Jalakaag but is unsure how to proceed. It seems that these nomadic Ansylins do not speak the common language of the same name or perhaps they, he wonders. He lifts his hands ina universal gesture of peace. “We are...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron moves toward the skiff, periodically glancing back to make sure that the former enemies continue to keep their distance. “I do not think that the direction makes much of a difference, but I do not want to kill people because they are simple and cannot see us as someone other than an...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron lifts his hands in a gesture of uncertainty. “We can let them decide. I do not sees these others as malevolent. I see them as simple, reacting from a lack of understanding. Way out here, perhaps everyone else is their enemy.” d10 = 4, 8

    Short Straws

    Cycle: 500: Day: 17. Season: Rebirth. (5 days until the ship returns) Seeing Kite come into view and reading his gesture, Terrendale tosses his lightstone. The rock sails through the opening and bounces along a bit further. The fact that this giant opening used to be blocked by twin doors is an...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Grateful for the success of the first defense, Whiron faces his remaining opponent, hoping to evoke the same results. d10 = 1, 5

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron suffers a quick glance to see that his friend is still standing, but he can do nothing more for him nor expect anything from him at that time. He must attempt to eliminste one of his enemies before he is overwhelmed. Though he is less effective at manipulating mechanical waylines, he...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Since they have already been seen, Whiron says, “Not really what I was hoping to find, but here we go.” Like his friend, he takes a shell in his hand; but instead of causing it to generate a sound, his should emit a toxic aroma when it strikes. d10 = 5, 9

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron has nothing to consider. He quickly nods his head. “I think we can cover more ground if we no longer set snares. I think we can catch enough fish for our own food.” d10 = 2, 7

    Some Stories Are True

    Moving as close as she dares, Astrid slings her mystically enhanced stone at her nearest slaver. The others of the party, knowing what is to happen, should hear the sling; if not, the bright flash at its impact will certainly spark excitement. d10 = 4, 9

    Short Straws

    Cycle: 500: Day: 17. Season: Rebirth. (5 days until the ship returns) Kite decides to assist Terrendale; after all, the original purpose for traveling to the newly discovered island was to asses and acquire resources. Even though the meat is likely to be inedible, the hide should be quite...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron cocks his head to the side and stares out at the horizon, as well. Just as he knows Jalakaag to be, he is really staring at nothing. He is looking inside his own head. “You are absolutely right. We are nothing better than bricks a levee, going through the motions of life but slaves to a...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron removes his hat again and scratches his head. He has much upon which to think. “Yes, so apparently I can clean the river water so that we can drink it, but you pose an interesting question with heavy implications. We could likely wander the marsh indefinitely, but what is the point of...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron retrieves his hat and replaces it on his head, nodding slightly, and extending two fingers in response to Jalakaag. “We will give you two of our fish from today. I hope you are true to your word. It is good to know that there is someone else who is looking toward a future with an end to...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Whiron removes his hat and drops it on the grass. He is irritated by all of the graft. “What? Is the entire world governed by extortion? Does no one make his own wage? I suppose you are going to kill us, when we refuse to pay?” d10 = 1, 5
