X4-5: across the mountains - IC

The man coughs. "If that is so I will help if I can. But the bhuts are clever and only at night can I be sure. I don't know if it's day or night here."

Aram manages to release the shackles.

"Thanks. I am Father Fuller, Abbot of the monastary. I was, until the vermin slew the other monks. Must have been months ago. Feels like years."

"And just what, praytell, are 'bhuts'?"

Bevin says this nonchalantly while continuing to monitor the entry points to the room.

"Eh, who said that? I'm not used to light anymore. The bhuts - they look like men during the day, and become ghoulish at night."

"It was I, Father Fuller, I am called Bevin, Mage of the StoneFolk. During the daytime, are these Bhuts known to masquerade as monks?"

 

[kinem]

The man coughs again. "No doubt. You tell me."

"It would be most helpful if you were to tell us everything that you know about these Bhuts. But, first, maybe we should retire to more comfortable and secure surroundings. Is there such a place nearby? I do hope so, I am very anxious to hear all of your tale."

"I'd be most grateful if we could leave this foul place" the man says, as he starts to head up the tunnel towards the statue chamber. "But as for safe, I have no idea." He stumbles forward.

"You said they ambushed you. Where? One of the tunnels leads to the guest house. Perhaps that is empty."

When he reaches the statue, he spits at it.

"It's an image of the bhuts' Master. I don't know how they got it down here."

" 'The guest house'? Meaning the place where we were lodged last night? I think we can get back there, easily enough. I hope."

Girgal stops kneeling and says: "No more bowing down for false gods. Let's wait for the day and hunt them in their human form. Without hide and claws, they will be easier to fight!"

I'M BACK! It looks like EN World finally got the stupid DNS issue worked out! Woo-Hoo.


"Let us return to the guesthouse," says Aram. He resumes the lead, everburning torch in one hand, and scimitar in the other.
