"There are those who are not but savages and those who are civilized and cunning."

[ 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....

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

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

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]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

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?"

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

"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."

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

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.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

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

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

"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,
