[ Sorry...mass confusion at home as usual ... Turok will return shortly ]

[No sweat, the boys in the dome...]

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

"There are those who are not but savages and those who are civilized and cunning."
[@IR Do I recognize the chant?]

[ OOC: The two men in the visions, are they the scouts? ]

Flashes of insight from the spirits...two men who look familiar... they appear to have been beaten up... and the cart, is it the one outside?

"We must go to the cart outside ... perhaps a clue to the scouts disappearance..."

The chant is muted through the stone, difficult to make out its words. The rhythm is none used by your esquimeaux clan.

The puffed swelling and blackened eyes, the lacerated jaws and cheeks, so sudden an image but yes Turok swears it was the scouts...and alive! The cart could well have been the one seen way off in the distance at the edge of the light. It is possible....

Turok picks up his things and motioning to the pair he leads them up the stairs and heads towards outside.

Iron Ranger · 10/02/2025 9:03 pm

The mutes shake their heads and dig in. The lip reading is easy-- "Enough."

"What do you suggest then...if you are worried about the scouts...the spirits have spoken...obviously they are alive but injured...if you will not go further then I must go alone."

[Somewhat confusing at times but makes for a good story]

Iron Ranger · 10/04/2025 12:43 pm

The mutes stare dumbfounded. "We heard no spirits here" they both mouth in unison. Followed by more queit mouthing, but Turok gets the gist: "We have followed you in and out of this cellar near thrice now. To what end the spirits have us do this repetition?"

bald_headed_yeti · 10/04/2025 6:35 pm

"I have had no guidance except yours since we got here...you know the scouts better than I...the spirits have shown me visions which I intend to follow up on...what would you have me do?...if we tarry they may be in greater danger...'tis but a short journey to the cart outside."

Iron Ranger · 10/05/2025 8:33 am

Akeley pulls his parchmant and writes.

Forgive his insolence Shaman, he is tired, and stupid. This journey is long. We follow the wolf and as it is you that wield the wolf of course we follow you.

He packs his marking stick and they grab their things, ready again to follow.

Iron Ranger · 10/05/2025 8:35 am

Narrhil and Tillak can tell that the loud chanting has ceased but the voices continue out in the cellar.

bald_headed_yeti · 10/06/2025 12:03 pm

"I promise, if we find no clues we will come back here and rest...but the longer we wait, the less chance we will find them alive.", with that being said Turok heads back up the stairs,

bald_headed_yeti · 10/06/2025 8:34 pm

[So it took them a week of diagnostics to figure out the internet problem was their box on another pole down the street...morons]

"Narhill, we must investigate this noise."

Iron Ranger · 10/10/2025 10:07 am

Turok and the mutes ascend the narrow steps back to the kitchen. They emerge and see a breathtaking aquamarine light pouring in shafts through the 2 broken out high windows above and bathing the burned out chapel beyond.

Tillak strains to hear while he waits for agreement from his cryomantic companion, but the sounds have ceased.

SullyB74 · 10/10/2025 11:00 am

Tillak opens the secret stone door and investigates. "Narhill, we must investigate."

Iron Ranger · 10/10/2025 11:08 am

Tillak pulls the lever that retracts the stone covering the crawl from the domed room to the cellar.
The pungent smell of unfamiliar unwashed sweat and unrinsed mouth wafts through opening on the crisp air.
