Annika, Three Flowers and Xielt have met with the Young Vashti in her personal garden for breakfast - tea and steamed dumplings with a variety of sweet and spicy fillings. Jar'Thol arrives, accompanied by a strange, pale salsham'ai. He looks troubled."Honoured Vashti, friends, I'm afraid that I can travel with you no longer. I have family business that I must attend to here in Cormondal. This is Mystal Marr. Of all my people here in Cormondal he is the most suited to travelling with you, he is experienced in finding lost people, and trained in the mystical fighting techniques of our cloud-forest lands."Xielt shifts in his seat. "I'm afraid I too must leave you, this business with the Vashti's bequest has taken longer than I anticipated, and I must leave for home as soon as possible. I am sorry, Honoured Vashti."The Vashti inclinces her head. "Family needs must come first," she says. "You have already done me great service, the two of you. But where is Growling Ape?"The acolyte who is serving breakfast looks up. "His room was empty this morning, Honoured Vashti," she says. "Nobody has seen him since last night.""This is unlike our friend," says Jar'Thol. "Perhaps I can spare some time to try to find him whilst you are investigating these livestock attacks?"The Vashti thinks for a moment, then sends the acolyte away. Shortly, the young woman returns with two exotic-looking figures, one man and one woman."These are Gengoro and Shakou," says the Vashti referring to the man and the woman in turn. "They have recently come to the narvinda in search of... service. Perhaps they can help. Gengoro, Shakou, please, join us. Master Marr, you too."She turns to the newcomers. "These are Annika, Three Flowers, Jar'Thol and Xielt," she says. "They have recently been attending to matters arising from my late predecessor's will. To the East of Cormondal is an old temple, and in the process of exploring it these people discovered a pack of wolves. The leader of the wolves was intelligent and could speak, some kind of wolf spirit perhaps. Master Jar'Thol here managed to arrange a treaty. In exchange for being left in peace by the people of Cormondal, the wolves would not threaten our livestock."Now, to the South of the town, we have reports of livestock being taken, or mauled and left for dead. Master Xielt is sure that it is not wolves doing the taking, which leaves us with the question of what is doing it? "Master Three Flowers, Mistress Annika and Master Marr here are about to set off on a mission to find out. Master Gengoro, Mistress Shakou, I feel this is a good opportunity for you to repay your debt. It seems... fitting somehow, given the circumstances."More tea, anyone?"[SBLOCK=OOC]Okay, that should be everyone included. Take the opportunity to describe your character, old players included, whilst we finalise stats matters behind the scenes.And... we're off![/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
