"I'm not saying you are not correct in that they weren't meant for us, my brave Tekai, but I disagree, whatever we find is ours for the taking. To turn your back on opportunity is to defy the natural order in which we are all submerged. Doesn't a bear eat the honey out of a beehive, even if it wasn't intended for him? Even if he starves and destroys the hive? Chance has given us these objects, and as a mischievous mistress as chance is, I prefer to dance with her." Sheng makes a rebuttal. Words and ideas anre flowing more clearly to his mind now that he has the chance to interact with people. It amazes him how loneliness hardens one's mind and tongue.

"They made magic," Niraya says, having uncertainly watched the conversation so far. "They put it into these things. Maybe we should try to make friends with them?"

She looks at the ones who'd seen the totem, "How old was it? Could this have been some long-forgotten cache that no one's left to come for? Or was it set up more recently?"

Tekai replied with half a smirk, neglecting Sheng's argument for the moment. "Sheng saw some circles up a tree. I don't know how quickly a tree grows, but it was recent enough that the bark had to regrown."

Quick clarification: While it wasn't ragged, it did not look very fresh either. I didn't go too much into detail since no one had Knowledge: Nature. My bad. ;)

ooc: Eh, we're arguing over something that probably isn't all that important, just to test character relationships. Isn't PbP grand.

Niraya shrugged. If it was up to her, she'd probably take them...but she wasn't the one who'd have to deal with that decision, or its consequences, this time.

"I've never heard of a tribe that follows that god," she says. "It might be very old."

Which made her think.

"...I wonder if there's more."

She looked at Inguar. "Do we have time to look?"

Inguar looks at the descending moons. “I suppose it wouldn’t hurt, as long as it did not delay us too long.”

Palkr offers his insight on the found items. “I am in agreement with Sheng, there is no assurance its intended recipient will ever find what is there. However, if Seerah’s assessment of the magic in that stone is correct, it could be quite useful.”

Glancing about, Niraya and Tekai can tell that Raomohr seems to be against taking the items, but seems unwilling to speak up, Seerah is obviously quite curious about them, Odywyn is too preoccupied with Raomohr to notice the conversation, Inguar seems to be siding with Tekai.

[sblock=OOC]Sorry guys, since getting back I've been slammed with work to the point where I can barely look at a computer in free time. And I can't deal with the Tapatalk, but good now.[/sblock]

"See? No harm done. Although just in case, I would advice moving out quickly. There's no telling when more of these monsters might show up." Sheng says, with a winning smile. "Shall we?"

Still looking uncomfortable, Tekai reluctantly agrees. "I am not sure keeping these items is the wisest thing to do. But it would be better for us to have them than the Orcs... If we take them with us, we should offer to return them to whoever they were intended for, if we come across them. Otherwise we are no better than the thieving Orcs, taking the hard work of others."

Looking at the moons, as Inguar did, Tekai continues, "It would, I think, be safest if we did not move the cart in the dark. Without carrying so much light that every Orc for miles around can find us, I cannot see further than the horse's head. We could go off a cliff in this light and not know till we hit the bottom. It would be best to wait for first light, I think."

"Surely, if we came across the rightful owner of these vials, then they are theirs. And if we must stay, I'm speaking for myself only, but I won't sleep not even one bit." Sheng replies, grabbing his bow and climbing up the cart, settling down on the back of it, with his gaze on the pitch black surroundings.

Inguar nodded in agreement with Tekai. “We should not move the cart until the sun rises. However, if you are restless Sheng, you can show us where you found these things. Perhaps we could shed a little more light on this.”

Tekai shook his head and stretched his right shoulder muscles. "I will stay with the cart. There has been enough strange happenings for me tonight without going looking for more."

Sheng nods. "Good night then. Come, follow me, I'll show you the place." he leads Inguar and Niraya where the carvings in the tree were found.

OOC: Sorry for the delay, I've been outside town for the last week. I'm back home now.
