[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7185937, member: 23"] Lal bows deeply before sitting down, and takes of the salt as it is passed around, handing it to Husam next. [B]"An excellent tea. We thank you for your hospitality. I am Lal Qualandar. Given the circumstances, please allow me to offer a modest contribution to your larder"[/B] As he says so, Lal reaches into his satchel - the same containing his sack of toys and trinkets. After a moment he finds what he seeks, and begin pulling packages of trail rations - dried figs and dates, nuts, pistachios, meat smoked and dried in the desert sun... OOC: Lal offers 10 days of rations and a bottle of wine [B]"Please, accept my humble gift - it is nothing. I have traveled many years and enjoyed the hospitality of many a caravanserai, I am sure you would have done the same for me...."[/B] looking at Hadia al-Sarraf with a knowing eye, he reaches in the enchanted satchel again and pulls out a flat, deep green "brick", with an elaborate design printed on it [B]"Where I am from, tea is often pressed into bricks for easy transport. I am afraid it is but tea of the third quality, but it is for you "[/B]. With a small flourish, Lal leans forward, arm extended and reverses the brick - on the other side, pressed into it is a large, flame orange flower. [B]"A Palash, not found in the desert".[/B] Lal sits back, with a beatific smile. Hope was the greatest gift. But there was business to conduct. "[B]We encountered in the oasis a large, many headed monster, which we dispatched. My companions are great warriors and wield many subtle arts. But we did not see the raiders. As Husam said, we are ... interested... in them. Can you tell us more about them, and what occurred here?"[/B] [/QUOTE]
