[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 8950457, member: 20459"] [I]The night being slightly cooler than the day, [B]PA'AVU [/B]has opted to sleep out on the balcony, guarding entry by means of the courtyard, leaving her Hound guarding against inner entry by lying in front of the door to the suite of rooms. Gratefully breathing in the fresh air, the goliath gazes at the stars and the mountain ranges beyond Chomrok and its environs, as she ponders [I]the stories [/I]with which Chanvati regaled them all as they shared the evening meal, a rare event. Her gosb'tar seems to be feeling [I]unusually[/I] awkward in the social tension surrounding some meeting he had with the satrab [I]earlier today, a meeting of which Bita-Bousseh has made slight mention with no specific details. Pa'avu is far more interested in the puzzles and pictures in her mind, germinated by Chanvati's tales of having spent the day researching numerous travelogues in the tiny and very old library of Chomrok. The goliath allows herself a moment of amusement in picturing the usually fastidious prince not seeming to mind the dust often present in such places. In her distraction, her gaze softens as it takes in the distant forests and peaks to the northwest. Gradually she notices the light of a very bright star, over one of the higher peaks (the highest?): Pa'avu recognizes this as the image she has been noticing everywhere here, the symbol on her clan-leader's pendant. There it is: their destination! As she comes to this realization, clouds seem to part, and for a moment the star's light reveals the landmarks -- of which her gosb'tar related after his research -- along the path to the peak: The Old Way! Then the clouds return, and the Way is hidden once more.[/I][/I] [HR][/HR] *Chanvati, Secondary Skill check History, +11 vs. 11 Easy DC = autosuccess, for +2 bonus to * Pa'avu, Primary Skill check Nature, r(6) + 7 + 2 = 15 vs. 15 Moderate DC Success! * Discover a dangerous opportunity and be prepared.
