Ah.     “We will be your ambassadors, lord,” acknowledged the desert man. He signed off without further ado and then looked at his three comrades in arms. “Thoughts?”    As they set off once more, Seif contrived to be close to the white and red Ottoman.     “You control many spirits, wise one.” He quietly gestured to each in turn: “Water,” the departing mist; “Fire,” the blackened and still smoking ghost; “Ice,” the white-sprinkled statue at their backs, rigid with frost.     No questions anywhere in there. And yet, clearly...<Response Ottoman? Note that Seif *intends* this to be a private conversation. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />>[The Platform][sblock=Relique and Sahid] Not sure I follow the logic here: why is the presence of a burial device linked with not clearing the ruins of mutants? Is this type of burial structure linked with something my character should be aware of?[/sblock]    “He has survived this long, he can wait until after we have secured the base settlement,” points out the desert man.If he’s basically talking only to Deezy at this point:    “The joys of being a guide,” in a voice drier than the desert. To Klatta he said, pointing: “I will jump to the top of the building to square left. There. Watch my signal for the locations of dangers ahead... No indirect weapons?”<Response Deezy?>Seif kicked his camel into a charge. He will Pole Vault well before reaching the gate, land on a roof and shout back the location and number of any enemies he sees (Perception +10). If he can, have Deflect active after he lands.[sblock=IF, ON THE OTHER HAND, BRIAN or THE OTTOMAN STAYED]“Let’s start acting like a team. They probably intend to charge from the houses surrounding the square -- maybe raising the pylons to block us in or break the group in two. I suggest that Shaugnessy and you Ottoman ride on the Beast’s shoulder, keeping you out of hand to hand range and *together*.” Good tactics against mines as well, but that is neither here nor there. He goes on with the actual plan: “One, the Ottoman cloaks us in mists. Two, I jump on top of that building to the left of the square and report on any dangers I see. Three, you charge through the gate under cover of mist and make for one side of the square. If they have to charge out of sequence, we can take them out one group at a time.” He stopped drawing in the sand and awaited comment.[/sblock]</blockquote>
