With the mutes watching the door Turok does a ritual purification, cleansing himself of all impurities...meditating for some time and burning herbs to get a pleasing aroma for the spirits.....holding the totem around his neck and he begins chanting...at a higher rhythm and crescendo...he beseeches the spirits to guide them in discovering what has happened to the scouts..and what should be their next course of action with or without them should they be lost.

[something like this...]

"Well said noble warrior, but you will die of your wounds," replied Narrhil, "and I only said till the sun returns, which is only a year from now!" He added reassuringly.

 "I suppose that we must wait then."

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

If you watched the Blue Swede. You know that the OOGACHOCKA chant was used to call upon the totem for visions. they arrived.  [Couldn't be clearer IMHO.]

Yeah, thought it was meant to be him, still, they looked like me 3 months ago when some moron headbutted me, I made him run like a coward though. Idiot was not attacking a hippy, but a trained killer...

Still, @IR no I do not watch 'Blue Swede,' I not know what it is, or why you placed pictures in-game?

Is it meant to Tillak, cos he must look petty bad at present?

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

The visions are game related. They were called by Bald Headed Yeti.  He knows what Blue Swede video is, he put the video here to demonstrate his ritual chant.

Bald Headed Yeti knows what they mean. He asked the totem for them, not me.  see  #8323.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Caveman does not know about Blue Swede video, or these visions, but Narrhil sure as hell hears that crazed chanting in the cellar.

[Right, so high pitch howling and chanting, and the sound of rattles, got it]

Narrhil looks at Tillak and whispers, "were those half-men capable of such magic!" Referring to the beast-men who had captured them.
