X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - IC

[Walking Dad]

Girgal, AC 23 (T15, FF20), HP 59/59, F +11,R+8,W+13

Girgal simply nodds at their words. Their enemies seem to be offends of nature, at least.

Abot the desert tribes he simply responds: "If there is anyone more capable than them to survive the desert, than that's me."

To Bevin he says: "Ari Djanni, the crazy dwarf of the desert? Sure, nobody would expect a sane dwarf to shave his beard. I will seem mundane."

To Bevin he says: "Ari Djanni, the crazy dwarf of the desert? Sure, nobody would expect a sane dwarf to shave his beard. I will seem mundane."

"Ari" smiles at Girgal. "Well, that's one 'yes' vote, but what say the experts in the field?"

Sargent Sarras grins and says "A towelhead dwarf, eh? No offense. The diversity of the enemy forces may work in your favor, but I don't think we have those garments. Unless you guys do, that is."

He reaches into his own pocket and pulls forth a small pouch. "This is a magic item. It is my personal property, won by my grandfather in the far north, but I am giving it in the hope it may help your mission. I have been told that this powder, when sprinkled on a demon, has a chance to send it back to its pit. Dispel evil, they call it." He hands the pouch to Bevin.

Sarras continues "The Darokin field army must be somewhere in the desert, and you may be able to catch them and see what their scouts know of this Great Pass beyond the western mountains, shown on the Bishop's map.

Our own scouts report that there is a caravan west of here, beyond the Salt Swamp. You are to join this caravan and travel with it into the Sind Desert. The caravan will leave for the desert soon, and to reach it you must leave immediately. You must take a boat up the river and across the swamp."

"I thank you sincerely for the Dispel Evil powder! Would it be ungrateful of me to say that I hope that we don't need it? The garments are something of a problem. Hmm, perhaps I can improvise something that will do? And shaving my Dear Beard will doubtless take some time (and some tears), so I'd better get started now, if we are leaving that soon. Anyone have a razor I can borrow? I don't seem to have that particlar item of toiletries." Bevin/Ari will start to work on his altered appearance as soon as he can.

"If we do not need it, then we'll return it to him. If we do, then we'll be most grateful he provided it. As to fitting in with them.. well, I've never really fit in anywhere, so that would be an.. interesting... experience." Nargon grins at the Sargeant's frown "But don't worry, sir. This band is my family, I'll not 'go native' on you. I must admit, though.. A half orc imbued with demonic powers does portray a certain image. I'll go along with the sneaking in idea."

Nargon gives the dagger a cursory once-over. Smaller weapons such as that were never that interesting to him. He thought briefly of detecting for a magical aura to verify that it was, indeed, part of a powerful artifact, but decided against it... He valued his sight to much to risk it.

"So we go meet the caravan and present ourseelves to them to take with them into the desert, and if they refuse? As you said we do happen to look like a band of the enemies. Rajah asks and looks over at Bevin

" Before you go to such extremes Bevin, isn't there a simple spell that allows one to alter their appearance? If you don't know it, perhaps there's one around here who could teach it to you?"

 

[kinem]

'You have a point" Sarras admits. "It's a civillian caravan so it may not matter to them which side you are on, but I will give you a certificate affixed with the wax seal of Darokin to present when you hook up with our own forces."

 

[Rhun]

Aram nods. "Excellent, Sargent. That should serve well. Let's just make sure we are rid of it before we encounter the enemy. It would not bode well for us if they found it upon our persons.

Bevin says, "Yes, I have heard of such a spell, but it doesn't last forever, and that would surely lead to my true appearance being discovered fairly quickly. Plus, I don't know the spell, and I have already filled my brain for today with the spells that I do know." OOC: Good thought, though!

"Excellent point, Aram!"
