[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 4538513, member: 21938"] [SBLOCK=OOC] I figure that anyone who knows High Imperial (Jar'Thol and Three Flowers) has received what amounts to a "classical" education, and would at least have some rudimentary knowledge of musical notation. I see Three Flowers has Perform (poetry) as a skill which may also include some musical knowledge (in that Imperial poetry probably includes some sort of music and words form like a Greek Chorus). The notation is a simple 5 note piece (I like to imagine it as the phrase from Close Encounters ;)) which anyone could probably manage. I also had to resist the urge to have the Captain reply to Growling Ape with "A staff in the hands of a wizard may be more than a prop for age". Oh, now I've said it. [/SBLOCK] The two gunners, having finally primed their weapons, take up a stance watching the near shore in case anyone else is with you. One stands guards over Wen's boat. Wen keeps close to Xielt. The tlaxu woman stands aloof, near the soldier's camp. She watches the group carefully, particularly Xielt. One hand fingers the edge of a silk shawl around her shoulders, the other she holds before her, extending and retracting her claws. The Captain shakes his head in response to Jar'Thol's question. [COLOR="DarkOrange"]"There's only one thing on this island, friend," [/COLOR]he says. [COLOR="DarkOrange"]"And that's this old shrine."[/COLOR] He leads you (with the two spearmen following behind) over to the small shrine building. It is little bigger than a sentry box, a single door with peeling red paint, overgrown. The door has no obvious handle or hinges, the only thing it bears (partly covered with ivy) is a white square, framed with ornate decoration, in the middle. [COLOR="DarkOrange"]"There doesn't seem to be a way to open it, but frankly we haven't tried too hard," [/COLOR]says the Captain. [COLOR="DarkOrange"]"Looks like spirit business to me, and I'm not going to mess with that."[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
