[QUOTE="DiFier, post: 896404, member: 2345"] "we've been here for a week" the merchant said motioning to a quiet man sitting next to him. "We're on our way to Toji but with the problems in Emei we decieded to stay here rather than travel throught the village." "what problems?" asked Arsindis. "Is Emei the village beyond?" asked Ciramar gesturing toward the east wall. "yes" said the man answering Ciramar's questions first. "As for the problems. Well. . ." A voice behind them answered. "zombies. The entire village is infested with them. It's been that way for almost half a month." Ciramar and Arsindis turned and looked at the man. He was a little younger than they were and taller than most of the people they had met today. He wore a brown cotton robe and black knee length trousers. His long black hair was tied back behind his head and wrapped in a single cord. on the ends of the belt that was wrapped afound his waist was an embroidered green leaf. Protuding to the sides from the small of his back were the handles of two short swords. "Ah, our zombie hunter" said the merchant, "He can tell you better than I" The man looked at the man and then continued. "I have heard your story. I believe that you have come here to help us with the zombie problem. The other's are late. I have been here four days." "Others?" "Yes my speciality is zombies. but I am still not a witch hunter. Perhaps I will never be. my master has been sick for many months and he sent me here in his place. There are 4 more witch hunters comeing . . .Masako Ry, Hida Tenkazu, Otomo Renshi, and Akishino Ji . . . but they are . . . late." The merchants seem impressed with the names. "You two were brought here by fate we must take care of the zombie problem. They only spread." The paper wall slide aside and sinji entered the room and greated Arsindis and Ciramar. "The Sobuna can see you now." He led them out of the building and across to the patio to the other building. they assended a stair case and walked out onto a balcony there was a small bald man in a long black robe. He was reading a scroll and a second man in sleeveless leather armor and with a large scroll tube slung over his shoulder. The bald man said thank you and the other man left. "Welcome." "thank you for seeing us on such short notice" Replied Ciramar. "it is not a problem. . . " "We are . . . " "travelers" arsindis finished his sentance. "Lost travelers. from what I hear" He raised his eyebrows "I am Ti. You are Ciramar the Wu jen and Arsindis the warrior of good." "We have traveled a long distance . . .or well. . We were not anywhere close to this area last night. We were attacked by orcs and a dense fog rolled in and when it cleared in the morning our traveling compainions were nowhere to be found and were were in a different place. " "I know." he laughed at their confused looks "the advantage of paper walls." his mood became more somber. "It is good that you have arrived today. I have just recieved bad news." He held up the scroll "The four witch hunters are not coming. They were each ambushed as they traveled here. Hida Tenkazu and Masako Ry are dead. Their bodies desecrated. Otomo Renshi lives but only with the capacities of a child. Akishino Ji Is missing, his ontorage is dead. I believe that it is fate that you have arrived here today." Arsindis enchanged a look with Ciramar. "We Will help you with your problem." "Yes, We would not want the zombie hunter to deal with this alone." He turned to Sinji "Please go get Kyodai" the monk left them. Ciramar turned to the Sobuna. "Have you heard any stories, legneds, of mists transporting people great distances?" "I'm afraid I'm not much on stories but our libraries are vast and we have many srcolls from long ago. I will have Sinji search for stories that seem to apply." "thank you" When Sinji returned with kyodai, Ti sent him to search the archives. He let Kyodai read the scroll from the corruior and then relayed the info that Ciramar and Arsindis had decieded to help him. "thank you" said kyodai "after dinner we should plan. We will leave early tommorow morning." [/QUOTE]
