[11:55] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) sees his slave "Tal Druuna"
[11:56] :: D r u u n a :: (levansivith) smiles at her Master
[11:57] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): you can bring me a cold paga, but harta, sinc ethe omen starts fast
[11:57] :: D r u u n a :: (levansivith): yes Master
[11:57] Hakimba Oakleaf takes a last big sip of his ale and puts the horn beside
[11:59] nadi (nara.zsun): smiles at her Master....do you wish a refill My Master
[11:59] Hakimba Oakleaf: not this moment nadi i think we will move soon to the omen altar
[11:59] :: D r u u n a :: (levansivith): fills a bowl with cold paga and brings it back to her Master, then lifts the bowl , offering it to him, "your paga MAster, may it help you being sharp today"
[11:59] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) takes the bowl and drinks it "ad fundum"
[12:00] nadi (nara.zsun): yes My Master.....stands an moves aside
[12:00] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) stands up
[12:01] oriane (orianevillette): skids to a stop at her master's feet, " I finished the." looks around and h;ushes.
[12:01] Tuka (octavia.giffen): Tal Masters
[12:01] Scar Jr.  Ghost (scribe.akros): Tal mine.. points next to him..."ssssst oriane"
[12:01] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): well, lets go to the Plains. I guess the Kassar are stipt to their appointments
[12:01] Hakimba Oakleaf stands up
[12:03] oriane (orianevillette): watches the other girls drop to their knees and copy's themn
[12:04] nadi (nara.zsun): checks the ground for bosk dung....then lowers herself to the knees
[12:04] Tuka (octavia.giffen) grins at master hakimba,"Tal Master", i say brightly excited to see yet another omen reading
[12:06] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) looks ove rthe Plains, but sees no Kassar
[12:06] oriane (orianevillette): Looks around not knowing what was happening and decides best to observe the other kajira .
[12:07] Hakimba Oakleaf grins... .. well done nadi.. i dont enjoy that smell such in my bed
[12:08] nadi (nara.zsun): presses her fingers to her lips stifling a giggles, her amethyst eyes dancing with impish twinkle
[12:08] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) gets a bird and hears the ubar is asleep and now his outriders try to wake him
[12:08] Hakimba Oakleaf looks around too .. i hope they were not inflicted in a harsh fight
[12:09] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) walks to the stone altar where the ravens stil feast at the remnants of the
sacrifice animals from former omen readings. The grass is dry, almost yellow, no longer green, the heat of the hot summer having scourned it for months. Soon however autumn rains will refresh the earth and black soil of the Plains. The haruspex wants to know how long it will take before fall starts so he can advise precautions to the
tribes.
[12:11] Hakimba Oakleaf listens attentively
[12:12] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): The haruspex carries a long staff with him, he has different staff, some are for augur activities to divide the sky to help reading bird flights, this is a more stocky wood staff with a some wax mixed with oil at the top. If he would have been clothed in white one could have easily have mistaken him for an ancient Celtic druid, but since white is the color of the despite city priest he wears normal outrider wear.
[12:12] Hakimba Oakleaf winks his girl closer to his boots
[12:13] Scar Jr.  Ghost (scribe.akros): lissens to every word as he folds his arms across his chest... holding his girl on his leash...
[12:13] nadi (nara.zsun): looks over at tuka picking up a pebble tosses it to get her attention.. patting the ground next to ther
[12:13] Hakimba Oakleaf nods... the druids would join the white castes at the cities in case they came to gor
[12:14] Tuka (octavia.giffen) almost makes a noise as the pebble hits her, and smiles crawling over to her
[12:15] Jaz Galea (sahjaza) is online.
[12:15] Hakimba Oakleaf turns to the finally arriving kassar .. welcome
[12:15] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) wears a small sack with him, nobody knows the content, but it contains leaves some green, some brown. Leaves he gathered under the chestnuts and oaks of the valley, are trees on the priaries, but thanks to the clay and humidity of the river flowing through the holy dale, some giant oaks and lindes grow there still. The Haruspex has prepared the leaves for they were green first, he has made some yellow, red or brown to symbolise the fall colors.
[12:15] Caspian Harcourt nods , many thanks
[12:18] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): Kutai stops at the altar, he makes a little prayer to the Sky, unheard for the spectators. He then graps in the sack and throws the leaves in the wind, first they are all green leaves, symbolising the summer which son will reach its end, then the autumn leaves symbolising the decay of the summer, going over into fall. According the speed the brown leaves overrun the original green, the seer can determine how long it will last before the first leaves at the valley trees will cover the floor.

[12:20] Tuka (octavia.giffen) smiles up at her mistress,"Tal My Mistress", i whisper
[12:20] nadi (nara.zsun): smiles up at the beautiful Mistress ....greetings Mistress so good to see you
[12:20] Yankee (yankee.faulkner) smiles looking around to everyone
[12:20] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) lightens the wax at the top of the staff, this he does more for the effect to
impress the devote believers, not that it adds to the reading it self. In the meanwhile he has already drann his conclusions based on the pattern of whirling leaves. Autumn will start soon, it's time to take precautions.
[12:21] oriane (orianevillette): greetings pretty mistress
[12:23] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) turns to his people and says: "the Open Sky has spoken, fall will start soon, we must be prepared, put your sluts and thralls at work, gather acorns, beech seeds, sweet chestnuts, apples, pears. Also look undr the trees and rocks for eatable toadstools like white mushrooms, cantharelli, penny buns and champignons. And don't forget the precious truffles which grow under ground, we don't eat them selves, but
rich merchants and magistrates in cities pay gold for it. Use wild tarsks to find them. Succes, happing gathering!
[12:25] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) overlooks the people and sees that Caspian has arrived as representee of the Kassar tribe [12:26] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): Welcome Caspian
[12:26] Caspian Harcourt nods to Kutai , Thank you Kutai
[12:27] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): Well Ubar Crixus is delayed, but since this is an omen which requires some speed to solve the problem an di did my preparation meditation already we will still perform it
[12:28] nadi (nara.zsun): nods tapping her chin with her finger trying to remember where she saw the ramberry bushes and mushrooms
[12:28] oriane (orianevillette): sighs, looks at her nicely cared fro nails and things about having to dig in dirt, she makes a face.
[12:28] oriane (orianevillette): She didn't like mushrooms anyway.
[12:29] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) watches the birds in their nests near the volcanic area of the Plains, he never found out why the birds clustered in that dangerous area, but it does not really interest him to understand the ways of the Open Sky on this aspect. He notices some birds have red feathers, those are seemingly sleepy, not moving around much, an inactive bunch.
[12:29] Hakimba Oakleaf chuckles... the living under the open sky is not made for keeping your nails clean girl
[12:30] oriane (orianevillette): she blushes not thinking she would be heard.
[12:31] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) turns to the people, what i do now is called an Augur omen, which is studying the flight of brids, one of the 3 ways of the haruspex. The Initiates also know a fourth way, smelling the arse of a flatulent tharlarion,
[12:32] Caspian Harcourt chuckles , ((the Initiates can keep their farting tharlarions ))
[12:32] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) with regular intervals he sees that one or two of the red winged birds take  of, fly high to the sky and then move North, as if seeking new spicier pastures. Seldom he sees such a bird returns, the rest of the red birds don't react at their departure, being indfferent, concentrated at the constant changing flock of white birds. The white birds are more active the cluster around certain of the red ones,
some times offering them food, or doing a mating ritual dance.

[12:34] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): Suddenly there is unrest in group, some white birds fly around panicked. Kutai looks to the sky and sees some dark dots, coming over the Plains wth consideral speed,
when the dots come closer Kuati sees it are vultures, wanting to attack the sitting flock.
[12:36] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): The red birds lift up. flying towards the vultures (the vermins of the sky) to
defend the white ones, but they are easily outnumbered despite defend fanatic with enormous courage. The red birds fight desperately against the intruders but are loosing ground.
[12:37] nadi (nara.zsun): listens her eyes wide an her lips parted in awe
[12:38] Hakimba Oakleaf steps closer to the haruspex
[12:38] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): Then a new strong group of birds appaer at the sky, black birds with some yellow feathers in their wings. They come to aid the red birds, and in a joint action they drive off the vultures, the sky is for the black and reds.

[12:40] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): Kutai meditate for a few minutes, then he opens his sees and starts explaining what he has seen and how he interprets the omen: the red birds are the bloody red Kassar warriors, they have not much activity because of the peace in their sim, they are entertained by pleasing kajirae, but some get bored of that and disappaer, causing the Kassar having lack of outriders.
[12:40] oriane (orianevillette): Her eyes follow the birds.
[12:41] nadi (nara.zsun): smiles hearing the Haruspex words
[12:42] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): When the vultures attack, one can see those as the behind walls hiding citizens who want feast on a weaker prey, sthe shortage of fighters shows the danger the tribe is in. The Kassar are however compensate numers with courage and are in the end saved by the aiding Katai, the blacks riders, with the yellow bows.
[12:42] Caspian Harcourt nods
[12:44] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) looks at Hakimba "the danger is not only to teh Kassar but also t our own valley [12:44] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): The lesson from the omen is that the Kassar and Katai should work together, not only to defend but also to go to war, to give the young outriders to win courage scars.
[12:44] Caspian Harcourt: yes
[12:44] Yankee (yankee.faulkner) looks to Caspin with question but shrugs and smile to Kutai
[12:45] nadi (nara.zsun): smiles up at her Strong Kataii Master....
[12:45] Hakimba Oakleaf smiles... therefore we gave some space to the Oralu Ruffus
[12:45] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): the fact is that we both are small camps, and to get outriders we need war , together we are stronger and can make an army which attracts new soldiers wanting bait and chainluck. Our Oralus Ruffus already offered an alliance to the Kassar orf Crixus and Caspian so we can join a united Nomad front against the city vermins
[12:46] nadi (nara.zsun): looks back at the stranger beside her...then up to her Master
[12:46] Caspian Harcourt nods , yes I think Crixus was wanting the same
[12:46] oriane (orianevillette): gasps soflty, he speaks of her home .
