Message: <blockquote data-quote="Relique du Madde" data-source="post: 5758359" data-attributes="member: 42169">CHAPTER VIII: THE CALM...A slight breeze began to blow from the mesa top as the group waited at the village gates for the caravan to approach along the main road accompanied by the sound of an occasional distant pop from a union member's firearm and a gargled howl from an unseen mutant.  Not far from the group's position, the Elder stood, conversing with several his clansmen in their ancient native tongue.  Unexpectedly, the Elder Dune-sage grabbed a spyglass from his companion's grasp, and quickly chided him before then stepping forward.  "My kinsmen, Red-Dust, fears that you are servants of the Warlord because he noticed that numbers on your crawlers match those of the vehicles that attacked us this morning." The elder frowned. "I tried to reassure him it is not the case, but he hard to persuade.""However, knowing that both of our people were prey to the Warlord does give me hope..." The Elder raised the spyglass to his eye for a moment, before continuing, "because it means that the your people's goods may have been relocated to the place where my people have been taken.  That said, my clansmen are eternally grateful for your people's help; so, you desire our assistance before heading into the Galaxias, do not hesitate to ask."Meanwhile, caravan's paced slowed as neared the settlement.  The majority of the dune runners slowly pulled out of the formation so the crawlers could seek safe harbor within the town's walls.  Several of the Dune Runners remained outside of the town even after last crawler to enter through the walls, for safety reasons.</blockquote>
