Michael looked around town trying to determine if they had missed anything before heading out into the desert. He had intended to wait until late afternoon, perhaps an hour before sunset, before setting off with the camels and the Land Rover.

He made his way downstairs to the others and asked if there was anything else that needed accomplished in town before we left for the desert.

OOC: Michael's all about waiting until almost dark before heading out intothe desert. I don't mind if time is advanced, unless someone has something to do.

Well waiting for the others Christopher began going over all the supplies, checking and double-checking to make sure he hadn't missed anything.

The Red Knight pulled out a well worn copy of Hamlet and began reading it.

OOC: Advancing time is fine, I can't think of anything else Christopher and Red Knight want to do.

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Kongming walks about the part of town nearest the hotel rather aimlessly, just spending time until everyone else is ready to leave.

Advancing time's A-OK by me, too.

[occ]It is about 6 hours to this next point. If anyone wanted to do something in town for this time let me know and we can. Otherwise it is around 7pm at night now.[/occ]

An hour or two before dusk the group meets back up at the landrover. Dr. Clay is there, and looks a lot better then this morning. His courage seems to have returned as with a resolve to do something to help out. Michael jumps in to the drivers seat and heads up to the Route 12 to meet the local tribesman.

After a short drive (30 minutes max) the rover leaves town and quickly finds where the large tribesman is waiting (under a tent, with 9 camels tattered near by). He stands up from out of his tent and bows saying something in broken French to Dr. Clay {translated from French for any who can speak it or translated by Dr. Clay} “Is taken car, or is taken camel? Yes? Me is Bulusu Mohan.”

He smiles and looks at the party, bowing to each.

[occ]Anyone wanting to make a Survival roll can. It is still at least an hour to night fall, but the sun is fairly low, and long shadows are forming around the sand dunes etc. Gennadi still has a vague feeling of what he wants to go into the north west...[/occ]

OOC: What do we need to make a survival roll for?
Anyways Christopher makes a roll, luck to roll.

While in the lobby:

Xavier didn't say much after Paul walked and got a drink. Wow, what in the world was that all about? And I thought I had problems.

About a half hour before leaving Xavier walked over to the bar as well, not really intending to speak, and ordered himself a drink as well. "It's not sunday, I'm in the desert, away from home, fighting demons and zombies. Forgive me God, but I'm having this drink." Xavier drinks it down and heads out to the landrover.

While in the landrover:

Xavier sat next to Paul while en route to the tribesman, "Are you okay? You seemed a little confused earlier today."

While in front of the tribesman:

Xavier nods in respect to the nod the tribesman gave him. He's not wearing his sunglasses as the sun is just about to go down the horizon, but he is eager to get on the way.

Survival: 10 (roll) + 1 (ability) = 11 total
Spot: 2 (roll) + 3 (skill) = 5 total (ooc: if anything is sneaking up on us I won't see it. )

Michael was comfortable in the driver's seat of the Rover. Assuming at least one Rover was going along on the journey, he would be driving it.

"We should take both, as I doubt the Knight here is much for riding," Michael commented. "We'll stay behind the camels as to not kick sand on then and make your riding more difficult."

OOC: Survival 15 (Roll 9 + 6 Super Senses)

[occ]general information [/occ]

 

[Karl Green]

As the party looks around, to the north, west and east, they see only sand dunes… lots and lots of sand dunes. Route 12 heads out in a winding path in front of them, generally north.

Michael and Christopher both are a little concerned about the landrover heading overland, but if they are careful and drive slow… but sand dunes, etc can be tricky if you are not careful.

Those wishing to ride camels are directed by Bulusu on how to sit on them, direct them back and forth, stop, sit, etc. Bulusu takes the lead and signals the party to follow him. The camels are noisily but fair tempered (at least more fair tempered then the stories you have described them to be). Night is coming quick to the desert but the moon is rising (quarter full) and he leads you north on Rout 12. After an hour or so travel, Bulusu leads the group off the road and starts heading west. The tempter has dropped quite a bit sense sundown, the landrovers’ headlights providing an eerie view. After another 4 hours through the desert (maybe a total of 20 miles) Bulusu stops and comes back to the landrover to speak with Dr. Clay {translated from Broken French} “Is were found westerner. Here we find… there where we come from… where I lost, long ago…” As he points in a generally western direction, deeper into the desert. He waits for what to be told to do next. Dr. Clay looks to Michael “What should we do now? I believe he will take us further to where we want to go…”

Dr. Clay looks to Michael “What should we do now? I believe he will take us further to where we want to go…”

"I would suggest that we search this area first before heading where he indicated," Michael said. "But we need to confer with the others to get their opinion. I would hate to miss something here . . . then again, it could be a trap."

Michael flashed the lights twice on the Rover to indicate that he wanted to talk. When the others got there, he explained the situation.
