[10:37]  vie pads slowing up to the Master and kneels gracefully before him with the tray of paga, she smiles and speaks softly..."your paga Master, chilled and served with love may it quench your thirst and do you well this day" she extends her arms with the bowl of paga in her hands and waits for the Master
[10:39]  Kutai is working to arrange the altar, in this more woody area its easier to use tree trunk then monolites , he hears the sweet voice of a kajira and sees that she presents him some paga, he takes the chilled bol and places it at the altar
[10:40]  Kutai takes a quiva from his belt and holds it to the sky, to check if its sharp enough to slice the throat of the sacrifice animal
[10:41]  vie: shudders slightly seeing the quiva and thinking of the ceremony today, she smiles to the master knowing he will perform a great ceremony
[10:42]  Kutai nods satisfied when he concludes the quiva is sharp enough for its task. He lays it carefully at the wooden plate of the altartrunk. So that it lays ready when he must handle the verr which will give its life for the knowledge of the future
[10:47]  Kutai checks if all is in order for the ceremony, he still misses the sacrifice beast, but he will know the sponsors of the omen ceremony will deliver it in time, and if not, the open sky probably will be less favorable with the outcome of the prediction
[10:51]  vie warmly looking at he master work and scoots a bit closer..."does the master need anything else why he waits" she says softly trying to not interrupt him too much
[10:52]  Kutai: some cheese will do, verr cheese
[10:52]  vie nods quickly..."yes master of course" she rises gracefully and heads to the kitchen to fetch his cheese
[10:56]  Saba: set for any one to move
[10:56]  vie reaches the kitchen and looks around searches for the cheese the master asked for finding it she finds a tray suitable to serve him on and takes a rep cloth polishing the tray well before placing the verr cheese on it and slicing it carefully with a sharp stone, satisfied she lifts the tray and turns gracefully to return to the master
[10:57]  vie smiles softly as she reaches the master then falls to her knees gracefully and holds the tray of verr cheese, sliced carefully, up to him ..."your verr cheese Master, I hope it is served well"
[10:58]  Kutai smiles at the girl in the grass and bends over to take the verr cheese of er, the same cheese as this beast near him, which will die soon, has delivered all its life
[10:59]  vie lowers her hands back to her thighs resting them there and smiles as the master takes the cheese
[11:00]  Kutai eats from the cheese while he waits for the Kataii to come out of their wagons, they don't seem very religious in his opinion so maybe they need some thunderspeech
[11:01]  vie hears her sisters bells and watches as she rushes by
[11:03]  Kutai: this is excellent cheese kajira, is it from the local verr?
[11:04]  vie: smiles to him ..."yes of course Master, I am glad you are enjoying it" she says softly glad to have his attention off the untimely people of the camp for a moment
[11:04]  Hakimba: Tal Kutai.. i hope we are not too late
[11:04]  Andre: Tal Hakimba Tal Katai
[11:05]  Nara: Greetings Master...smiles at the Haruspex
[11:05]  Hakimba: Tal Andre
[11:05]  vie: looks at the new arrivals and smiles..."greetings Masters, tal kajirae
[11:07]  Kutai: tal hakimba, imp
[11:08]  Kutai looks at the free woman, Ruffus daughter sitting in the grass, probably she will not stay clean when the blood wills putter around
[11:09]  Hakimba nods to his uncle
[11:09]  Ruffus grins and looks at his daughter
[11:10]  Ruffus looks to the outrider with the girl at his feet and ponders if this is hakimba....
[11:11]  Hakimba nods to Ruffus.. yes i am hakimba with my girl nadi
[11:11]  Ruffus whispers: ahhh dear lady Sophia!! welcome to the camp.. is good to see you again!
[11:11]  Kutai looks at Ruffus, i like to start the ceremony
[11:11]  Ruffus: Well met Hakimba much i have hers of you.. welcome to my camp
11:12]  Sophia smiled warmly, "Tal Ruffus, It is good to see you as well"
[11:12]  Lobothor sees wicca and smiles to her
[11:12]  Ruffus: pleassedo so Kutai
[11:12]  Lady Wicca smiles back to lobo as i stand next to him
[11:13]  Saba smiles as she moves to her Master's side then lowers her body down to he ground
[11:13]  Sylvia: Eli take notes
[11:13]  Sylvia: It is something the ambassador should know
[11:13]  Urmitu moves nearer to ruffus
[11:13]  Kutai looks around the crowd, the ceremony will start soon, but i need a kajira with a bucket, further 2 kajiri, or kajirae whch must be ready. Better they don't wear fancy silks but working camisks, for their tasks is not a very clean one

[11:14]  Ruffus: vie .. ayame aid the haruspex girls
[11:14]  Ricie March (riciecup.kobichenko): smiles and nods to sheetara
[11:15]  vie (strawberry.teardrop): "yes Master" she moves closer to him to help with whatever he needs
[11:15]  Ayame follows vie closer to the man in the middle of the circle
[11:15]  Kutai looks at the kajirae "one of you gilrs has a bucket?"
[11:15]  dina: yes Master
[11:15]  Kutai: good then
[11:16]  Kutai walks slowly to the verr, the girl Saba has brought him, he grabs the beast at the horns, and pulls it towards the altar at which a shining quiva is laying
[11:17]  vie watches intently as he works
[11:18]  Kutai makes a signal to the kajira with the bucket "hold it under the beasts throat girl. Saying this his hand reach to the ceremonial dagger laying at the wooden plate.
[11:19]  dina: *holds the bucket as commanded
[11:21]  Kutai takes the dagger and holds it high so all spectators, wagon people and heretics which believe in the false priest kings, but who are welcome to see a true ceremony, can see it. The light of the sun in the Open Sky flashes at the dagger and it is bright as a mirror now, beaming the sun rays around
[11:22]  Kutai grabs the head of the verr and bends it sideways, which goes easily since he has done this hundreds of times before, he aims the dagger and stabs the animal in the main neck vein. He sees the blood spurting out, he aims the stream at the bucket which is hold by the slave girl.
[11:23]  Ruffus nods watching the haruspex deliver a firm and steady cut
[11:23]  Saba shudders as she see's this she quickly turns her head away to hide in the kilt of her owner she

[11:24]  Kutai takes back the dagger out of the beasts neck and sees how it quickly die for its life flows out which each pumped stream of blood
[11:24]  Lobothor stands quietly watching
[11:24]  Ayame watches the blood stream into the bucket with wide eyes never having seen an animal slaughtered before.
[11:25]  dina: *smells the blood knows its purity*
[11:25]  vie closes her eyes tightly trying not to think about it
[11:26]  Sylvia: The harsh life of the desert makes for sterner stuf, watches unmoved
[11:26]  Kutai looks at the kajira with the bucket, now the animal is dead, the bucket is no longer needed "take the bucket away girl, and gve it to the free woman who is responsible of cooking here, so she can use this blood to make blood sausages from. asa true Gorean Kutai, never wastes things for he is not a man of Earth who spoils his food
[11:26]  dina: yes Master
[11:29]  Kutai kneels now at the dead verr and places the quiva at the belly, he quickly opens the animals stomach and let the entrails roll out. His hands seek in the dead animal corpse, he must find the warm liver,. He rips out other organs which will later do as extra add on for the slave gruel before he finds the liver
[11:29]  vie shivers watching him search inside the dead animal and closes her eyes again
[11:29]  dina: *quickly rising and lifting the bucket with stride of the north till at the kitchen leaving there and running back to kneels once more close to the verr but not too close
[11:29]  Monaka hols my hands on my stomach trying to keep the bile from rising
[11:30]  Kutai takes the liver up and holds it high so all can see the redbrown organ
[11:30]  Ruffus looks at him wondering what heis seing ....
[11:30]  Ayame continues to watch with wide eyes raised in the city not used to such custums to knowing to keep her mouth shut.
[11:30]  Saba positions her head to not see the Master her stomack turning as she seen around his leg she shudders voilently
[11:31]  zena walks up and kneels quietly down not to disturbe
[11:32]  Kutai takes some of the bowl of paga , he does not sprankle it over the liver, but just drinks it, for he is thirsty. He now forgets the people around him, while he goes concentrates at the just acquired fresh bloody liver, now laying at the wood of the three trunk which serves as a temporary altar
