Suddenly aware that the instinct to use his skiff pole as a weapon interferes with his mystical talent, Jalakaag stabs it into the mud to retrieve it later and prepares to hit the first lizards that comes at him with his bare hands, manipulating mechanical waylines to produce a concussive wave...

Cycle: 503, Day: 121, Season: Harvest Because of the grass and the constancy of motion, the exact number of lizards is yet to be determined, but they divide themselves between the two young men and go tromping through the grass. While Jalakaag is able to mystically obscure his presence, he and...

Even though he is not specifically affected by the scream of the lizard, Jalakaag takes a step back in precaution. He immediately understands the danger of the situation, especially since it is unclear as to the number of the lizards. Instinctively, he realizes that he can manipulate waylines to...

Lathir lifts his palm in a gesture of general inquiry for the group, shrugs, then says, "Lead the way, my friend."

Cycle: 503, Day: 121, Season: Harvest Taking an active role in determining their own income, it is a simple matter for the two young men to realize that collecting a single satchel of welcome crabs and one of tidal snails, each, will cover the cost of the governmental fees. Anything worth an...

Jalakaag sighs, audibly, as he sets into the skiff and steadies it with the pole to allow Whiron to board. “I wish I had some idea of how to change this monotony, beneficially change this monotony. Can you imagine having to do this for another 50 or so Cycles. I think I might rather be eaten by...

Cycle: 503, Day: 61, Season: Stasis Jalakaag is, of course, in complete agreement about helping their parents and irritated with himself for not thinking of doing it, as well. Some of the cleaners seem a little less than agreeable when asked to procure souvenirs; but with the addition of a bowl...

As he and Whiron go about their collections, Jalakaag tries to keep a running count based upon what they have previously been paid. “Whiron, you are better at the count than I am. Help me out, here. We need 3 coins each a day for the fees. We can spend up to 3 each on water upon each return...

Cycle: 503, Day: 61, Season: Stasis During the remainder of the season, the two are able to regularly snare birds of the plover variety and small runners. The plovers are about the size or mass of a person’s fist and do not require the use of tools to clean. The running birds are about the size...

After the javelineers are gone, Jalakaag goes to Whiron. “Are you okay? That was a risk. No sense in returning to The Pavilion, now. I guess we stay out another two days, but I say that we move.” d10 = 5, 8

Cycle: 503, Day: 7, Season: Rebirth The leader of the javelineers snickers at the comments from Whiron. Violent though he may be, he is not overly stupid and is more interested in prolonged power and future gain. If he kills the residents instead of robbing them, it would quickly diminish his...

Jalakaag runs his tongue over his top teeth, consciously refraining from making a vulpine grin. He is not much of a talker and has no idea of how to handle the situation. If the javelineers attack, he hopes to cause as much damage as he can, but he is inclined to just give them the current...

Cycle: 503, Day: 1, Season: Rebirth Realizing that their fortune is also a burden because of the potential envy of others, the two young friends negotiate for several purchases to reduce the amount of physical coins. There is no system in place for the clerk to maintain a record of earnings...

Jalakaag pulls his lips tight and briefly bares his teeth. It is a sign that he is thinking, much like when Whiron runs his left hand through his hair. The hair on the heads of Ansylins does not grow well and what is there is tightly curled. Jalakaag rarely removed his hat unless trying to...
