Message: <blockquote data-quote="MacConnell" data-source="post: 6963137" data-attributes="member: 6855223">Day 18: Investigating the Hollow of Bones: Midday: Day 2[ooc]After a quick lunch of dry rations, the members set about differing tasks.[/ooc]As San-Bolo make their way toward the river, Merin seats himself in his lotus position allowing his consciousness to expand, examining the flux of way in the area.Sheldon, thinking he would like to try the same thing, walks 8 paces due south away from the river and seats himself in a servile warrior position, instead of lotus. Indigo accompanies him to keep guard.[gm]Merin is more familiar this time with entering a meditative state. He understands grand and over movement comes first followed by ever decreasing fluctuation. The river follows a way line as is expected. The standard weather crosses it at an angle from NW to SE at this time of year. Rain is apparently coming within a day indicating an end to the dry season. The river is teeming with small life, and there is a ore vein buried under its base, but it is too deep to be accessible.Medium sized animals come from the south on a regular basis to drink here. Merin thinks coyotes or jackals. Three things catch Merin's attention in particular. There appears to be a repetitive pulse of way coming from upstream, though he cannot understand its significance. There is a minor disturbance of direct manipulation coming from the riverbank, which he recognized as Bolo causing destructive inference to create heat, and there is a sink in the way lines being created to his right just at the edge of his range, which he identifies as Sheldon engaging in the same process as he.[/gm]Merin stands and stretches. He sees Sheldon and Indigo returning from south. He sees San-Bolo at the river to the north. Approaching Bolo he indicates that he recognizes what she is trying since he has attempted it before and conveys that what he found was while metal readily took the heat, it would not retain it, and that stone or crystal once heated would retain the energy for some time; therefore, he too was hoping to find suitable stone or crystal to make arrowheads.Sheldon and Indigo join the others at the river. Sheldon conveys what information he thought he had determined. He confirms Merin's comments to Bolo. He thought he might have detected the pulsating ripple, but being further away, he was unsure. Different from Merrin, he said there were several small disturbances in the balance to the east of where he was seated. He thinks it is a group of small animals disturbing the ground, rooting like pigs but smaller than raccoons.[gm]Sannit finds 2 pieces of quatrz, 1 ingot of copper and 2 ingots of tin[/gm]</blockquote>
