Astrid will attempt to analyze the intentions of the Amiradtha as she speaks. "You should have considered speaking, first. It would have saved many of your people and more of your hirelings. If we come with you, we will keep our weapons."75

Feeling less burdened than when accompanying the other caravan, the six friends circumnavigate the caravan then move off in a linear trek, exploring to the west, since that was the direction of the prvious attack they had overcome. Cormorant and Antapkos both covey the party’s intentions in a...

Belaria nods her head in agreement and touches Jay to make her point as she talks. "Yes, yes, Brock, you and Garin should get close with your spears, ready. Jay and I will back away, some, so that we can use our slings. Brenda should be the one to shake the bush and see if she can drive the...

Though everything the man is saying sounds good to all six friends, none is willing to display such immediate agreement. They quietly discuss matters among themselves, making statements in every language that they can speak, just in case others are listening too intently. Once satisfied with the...

Astrid says, "It is okay, You can let them go. They are running away. If other enemies are near, they will come from behind us, from the stairs on either side of the kitchen. Be aware!" She then goes to help Oorvid, whom she can see is still alive.75

Plumeir runs his right hand through his hair, pulling it back from his face and slings the moisture away. "I have had the misfortune of dealing with some Kinamins and Deviards in the past. You may be correct, Astarte. We may be looking for benders. Since we are away from anyone else and on the...

Antapkos looks at Cormorant and then back in the direction that both of them had flipped their coin. His eyes went wide and he looked up at the sky. Never had the two of them even heard of a friendly Amiradtha, much less one who was talkative. Antapkos says, “That is quite an ambitious idea. I...

Antapkos and Cormorant look at their friends and at one another, both having come to the same conclusion. Each flicks a coin over his left shoulder with his right thumb. Approaching the caravan, they intended to inquire after the caravan master, introducing themselves. They would explain the...

Plumeir lifts his left hand and nods at Taylar. "I thought about that, myself. I do not have an answer for you, but here is what I concluded. As skilled as these captors must be, herded children would leave all sorts of clues. I think they are being carried, but I do not know how. Cannibals...

Astrid grits her teeth at seeing Oorvid, once again, sacrifice his own body to help others against an enemy. Askari had always done the same things. She thought to herself, "Perhaps, Askari had taken all of the abuse his body was willing to bear." Having a measure of bat guano upon her person...

Resolute to have been sufficiently admonished, Antapkos and Siofrita both give over to the calmer decisiveness of Cormorant. All six agree to depart with the next caravan, whosever it might be.83

Plumeir nods at Taylar and gives a gesture of peace, common to the Maldrog miners. "Danke für dein Vertrauen, which is to say thank you for your confidence. You referred to Outpost but I think that you meant here at the Mines. I will show you where I crossed. I do not wish to see this happen...

Figuring the Maka would aim for the closest target, Astrid will mystically electrocute the next farthest away, on her side.78, 76

Siofrita spoke first, saying, “This is completely wrong! What you are suggesting is suicidal!” Antapkos added, “This is completely unjust! Have we no choice in the matter?” Cormorant pursed his lips and cracked his knuckles. “I will go. Is the morning soon enough?” The others remained silent...

Recognizing at least the semblance of what Taylar is trying to do, Plumeir will walk back to the housing with Astarte to speak with the parents of the missing children. Though he would have already done this, the gap in time and assistance of another person may grant more information than the...

Jay motions for Belaria to follow him, as the two head back to the place where they had seen the otters exit the river. Jay reaches down and picks up a couple of leaves from the ground. He faces inland, closes his eyes and tosses the leaves above his head, saying, "May The Wind point us in the...

Sprthnt will help Kuwaia tend to her wound while everyone else finishes any enemies still breathing. The others will also gleen any curiosities, before everyone moves farther upstream to make camp. The next day the party will continue on its way to Plum Orchard.63

Astrid quickly and quietly addresses the group. "We should divide ourselves and enter the main room from each side of this kitchen. Wrenn and Star should take the left doorway, while Maka and I take the right. For Oorvid, it does not really matter since you will charge them if they attack."75

Plumeir looks at Taylar and responds. "I will take you to the suspected site. I can even take you along the path that I have already searched."64
