Lotus and the Cobra [IC]

[Mirth]

Sanjit's Hut

Zhangyong flies to the village with the boy...

"You will be alright, you will be alright," the brahmin mumbles to the boy as he cradles him in his arms and makes the short flight back into town. "The Great Bear slumbers with you in the cold night and will wake you when the time of hibernation is over."

The vanara will make his way to the house of Gutpa's father and call on him for help in finding the boy's mother. As soon as he is sure the boy is safe and being tended to, Zhangyong will fly back to the group and the dead elephant.

OOC: Sorry about the delay in posting. I hope you saw my thread in Talking the Talk.

"Is everyone okay?" Arjay coughs as he pulls his wet and beaten body out of the water.
He gazes back up at the cliff to check that no Babbooms have dared to jump in after them before looking back over to Mira and the two bodies.

"Are they alive or dead?" he grimaces at Mira before turning his attention to the two limp bodies that they have dragged this far. He looks to Jval first checking for any kind of vital sign and then does the same to the body of the old hermit...

Yudhistra shakes his head. "This is very strange. Why would something leave a dead elephant here? Unless it no longer wished to feed of it..."

He looks around. "We should look for more tracks, it would have taken a large creature to move the elephant here, possibly even dragging it. If there are no signs of passage, then perhaps a large bird, or even some form of magic."

Mira surfaces for air, "oddly enough, I am fine. I did not relish the jump, for it is not something that I do regularly. Let me help you with them." She moves to help with the bodies, checking for signs of life.

Arjay and Mira

With Mira's help Arjay reachs the shore of the river. Arjay's rage leaves him and he feels drained. Looking over the bodies you can tell that the Jval is gravely hurt but he seems to be stable at the moment. The hermit looks to have been dead for a while. Far off in the distance you hear the cries of the baboons.

Sanjit's Hut

Examining the ground around the body of the elephant, you find the tracks of the elephant and they appear fresh. It looks like the elephant walked to the spot and then dropped to the ground.

Adus spots something sticking into the elephant near it's shoulder. Pulling it out, it appears to be a 6 inch dart in the shape of a adder.

 

[Yellow Sign]

Zhangyong

Zhangyong quickly makes his way the the villiage and hands the boy over to some villiagers. Confident that the boy is in good hands, Zhangyong flies back to the hut.

 

[Robbert Raets]

This wouldn't happen to be the kinds of adder-shaped daggers Adus has, um, 'encountered' before, would they?

 

[Yellow Sign]

Examining the dart. Adus thinks it could be of Yuan-ti design.

"Snakemen...." Hisses Adus "I could have known..."
