(Adventure) Immortality Awakens (Knight Otu Judging) Part II

[RillianPA]

Rillian indicates his readiness to follow the desert people.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Everyone follos after the desert folk, who lead them back for a few days in a twisting path. The desert people keep their tents a bit apart from the group, perhaps out of respect for privacy. Two of their number died in the fight with the halflings, and they gave the bodies a ceremonial burial before departing, though not the halfling bodies. It becomes apparent that, unusually, the desert folk seem to be fine in the desert without wearing head coverings or the like except when the sun gets particularly bad, in the heat of the day, when the party has to retire to the tents even with all their coverings except for those protected by Scun's magic. This is despite the fact that they don't seem particularly dark-skinned, and in fact they don't seem to be getting sunburn of any kind.*

*After some time, they approach towards a series of rocky cliffs in the desert, leading down to a cleft and a lower desert below. Built into the cliffs is a series of homes and dwellings, and the man in front of the group points.*

"We have reached the clanhold, outsiders."

"Yes," the blue-eyed woman agrees, "Outsiders...with your appearance, there will be much to talk about, I think."

 

[Brain]

Scun grunts and nods. "I'm used to that. I get it everywhere I go."

 

[shadowbloodmoon]

Tandi nods her head, muttering under her breath. "Even out here."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"When I say your appearance, I mean not your looks, but the fact that you appeared," the woman clarifies.

 

[Bront]

"Well, let's get this over with," Cade says, as he continues on.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The desert people usher the outsiders into a tent, and then they head off, probably to have some sort of discussion. Eventually, a strong-looking man with a hard-set jaw enters the tent. Two women, one wearing jewelry and light silks, the other wearing simple garb with pupilless blue eyes that shine and shimmer slightly, enter to either side of him.*

"I see you, outlanders," the man greets.

 

[Bront]

"Greetings, I am Cade Jenner," Cade says, offering a bow to the man and those accompanying him.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The man nods and sits down on a cushion in the tent in the back. The woman in silks and jewelry sits directly in front of the group, and the other with the strange eyes to the back and to the other side of her from the man.*

"Do you come in peace to my clanhold, outlanders?"

 

[Bront]

"Indeed we do," Cade says. "We come on a quest to cure a little girl of her illness."
