[QUOTE="megamania, post: 694545, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 008 “Dutch” The perched black raven watched him from afar. The intermingled peoples of Sage Square seperated and gave him plenty of space. He was a mountain of a man. His walk was graceful and looked as if he could spring to the attack or evade at a moment’s notice. He was Dutch. Dutch was the primary hunter and tracker for House of Blewes. Few matched his strength and wilderness cunning. Everyone respected him, even the Black sand Raiders. House Shom has tried to buy him off from Blewes several times but never succeeded. They knew better than to try to buy off Dutch himself. It was rumored that they once tried to hire Shadows to otherwise convince him of the error of his ways but were never heard from again. He walked directly to the building owned by House of Blewes as if HE owned it. The veteran workers stood straight and tall for him in respect, the new workers out of fear. “Greene.” He said simply as he reached the meeting room. “Ah- Dutch my boy…you arrived early- as always. Welcome. Please sit and get a drink.” Offered Greene Blewes. As I’m sure you are aware of, we and other houses are having Gith problems. It is truly becoming a problem now. Though the templars say they have it under control, I thought we should do a little something extra.” With a childish grin on his face he quickly adds- “Are you up for hunting Gith?” Not answering him directly the large man looks at the map on the table. Recognizing it for what it is he replys-“ Myth….only Myth.” “But what if it’s not? If we could reopen the Trademan’s Road-“ Dutch interrupts quickly “Kalak.” “Yes, there is Tyr and how close the road is to the Iron Mines but if we…-“ “Never happen so long as Kalak rules Tyr.” He takes a short shallow sip of the water. “It is too close to Kalak and his mines. The road is more myth than reality. No Greene- what ever you seek, you will need to find a different way…perhaps North or South of the Forest.” Greene ponders his words…treating them as if spoken from a religious tome of old. “It can wait, there will always be Hope.” “Why did you ask for me to come?” “The gith hunt.” Dutch looks at his friend of many years….”No. Jocasta can lead that easily. Why me?” Greene gives a tight smile. “We are low on trustworthy aids. Jocasta has rounded up a few. I want you to go with them and observe them. One of them mainly. Strange fellow. Goes by the name of Mania. Dogg found him left for dead in the desert by Alaroan and his tribe.” “Aloroan?” A dark shadow seems to crawl over Dutch’s face obscuring his eyes. “Either this Mania is very impressive or very lucky.” “Perhaps both Dutch. This is why I called for you. Will you do it?” Dutch nods his head slowly deep in thoughts of his past …and his future. [/QUOTE]
