Gathering of the Tuchuks

[11:26] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) hears some newcomers "Tal sir"
[11:26] Lord Vaikundar  (Jyrkii Kumel) I'd move behind the woman as I looked over the free standing nearby, for this I would raise a hand towards my shoulder seeking the eye's of the man within lighter garments for this I would appeal for the coloring,"And Tal too you all...and you as much Ubar.."I'd speak clearly detailing the natural colors of leadership, I'd then look over the plains marking my longing for Thassa, however as a guest I would take well to these lands."I am Vaikundar Of Kar, Captain Of The Red Shark...It is good to meet you Free."
[11:26] Shaedra Trelarus (gentleone Resident): "Sir," rang politely in greeting, "Lady Tam" as she too shifted waiting for more to arrive,
[11:27] Syala Nakos (Estereya Resident) leans to her mother whispering "well people showed up that is good." takes a deep breath clearly nervous.
[11:27] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): please everyone come take a seat around the dire
[11:27] Shaedra Trelarus (gentleone Resident): "paul" leaning to lady Lucy, you did get the scroll I sent along?"
[11:27] tamazra Resident: nods to the lady in green, but waits for the men to finish their greetings
[11:28] Lucy Bronet: Um..er...scroll?
[11:28] tamazra Resident whispers to her daughter, "relax and enjoy this day"
[11:29] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): Well Met Lord Vaikundar
[11:29] Lucy Bronet: Lady Tam! How lovely to see you!
[11:29] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sees the broad build man from Port Kar, a city he last visited years ago, undershady circumstance, he greets him "Tal then Vaikundar, my name is Kutai, and I am a haruspex"
[11:29] Syala Nakos (Estereya Resident) nods taking another deep breath smiling trying to relax.
[11:29] Paul (phaneroz Panthar) remins near my Mistress woching the crowd ceafly
[11:29] tamazra Resident returns the greeting, "Tal Lady Lucy"
[11:30] Lucy Bronet glances mischeviously to Tuor, "This is a wagon camp so veils wouldn't be needed eh? Oh! But I have no nose ring...um...nevrmind!"
[11:31] Lord Vaikundar  (Jyrkii Kumel) A slow release of the smoke along my lips moving between them from that of the pipe I held, hearing the offering of the fire,"It has been some moons since I have traveled the plains..long since the trade of Turia..."I'd look then to Kutai,"Ah a omen-sayer..It is good indeed to meet a man of your stature Kutai.."I'd nod before shifting my gaze over the passing outriders, knowing well this event must welcome outsiders who would normally be speared down by the fierce men which have held no grass and earth."
[11:31] tamazra Resident sees the return of Kutai and obvious excitement comes over her face, "will their be the reading of omens today?"
[11:31] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): you are fine nose rings arento mandtory for the free women of the high wall cities Lady Lucy
[11:31] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): and your veilis optional ladies
[11:32] tamazra Resident: chuckles as she toys with her ring
[11:32] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): please shall we move i closer to the gathering
[11:32] tamazra Resident: I will also welcome all of you to the campfire
[11:32] Lord Vaikundar  (Jyrkii Kumel) I would follow through behind the Ubar within his offering, hearing the small talks and conversations of the woman in the same manner.
[11:32] Lucy Bronet: Come, let's join them at the fires
[11:33] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) hears the question of Lady Tamazra and answers "if an omen is done, depends on sir Tuor, if he needs a consult of the Open Sky if this Gathering will be a succes or not

[11:34] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): Kutai we would be honorded if you did a reading of the Omens
[11:34] Syala Nakos (Estereya Resident): "one moment we have another guest comming"
[11:34] Shaedra Trelarus (gentleone Resident): sits across from the Ubar of Nakos seating watching that should her seat be needed she would stand to the side...turning an ear to listen to the wisdom of the men"
[11:35] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) seats himself at the log
[11:35] tamazra Resident takes a very inconspicuous place far from the men
[11:36] Telima  Tanakh-Na'Kos (TelimaTanakh Resident): Greetings Lady Tam and everyone else
[11:36] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) answers the organiser of the gathering "for an omen reading I need a verr anumal, and do you have an altar here, or just a big stone where i can sacrifice that animal on"
[11:37] Lord Vaikundar  (Jyrkii Kumel) I'd lower myself down across one of the seats, seeing the small wine near me as a man of Kar, I could not deny my need to help myself, for this I would slip the ornate hook of my left hand what the aftermath of war would cause, slipping it underneath the rim of the glass before my right hand took the bottle itself before slowly pouring some of the dark mixture of liquid into the vessel only then after lifting it to my lips slowly tasting the wine along the corner of my mouth away from the pipe, slowly sighing, then looking out to the others gathered.
[11:38] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): my woman has gone to get the verr for you
[11:42] Lucy Bronet gazes across the plains to the grasses beyond, taking in the landscape so broad and empty. A shake of her head at all the open skies when she is normally surrounded by sturdy city walls and secure buildings, "It makes me feel so vulnerable out here under the open skies."
[11:44] Telima  Tanakh-Na'Kos (TelimaTanakh Resident): here you can do what you have to with it
[11:45] tamazra Resident remains quiet and attentive
[11:45] Syala Nakos (Estereya Resident) looks around at the guests taking a seat beside her mother smoothing out her skirt
[11:45] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): Aye
[11:46] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) leads the verr to the gathered people, its a sturdy beast and certainly fitting to b a sacrifice animal. He takes it at the horns to show the beast who is in control here "come on you hairy hornbearer, nothing will happen to you" he chuckles, knowing the animal wil be ended very soon

[11:47] ŐℜİA (0Subira Resident) finally catches up and takes a deep breath, "Greetings Masterr," she says and looks at her surroundings
[11:48] Syala Nakos (Estereya Resident) watches from a distance curious about the verr.
[11:48] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "aah Oria, you just arrive in time, find a bucket, we don't want make a mess here when i am dealing with this verr"
[11:48] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) settles silently behind the slaver
[11:49] Lord Vaikundar  (Jyrkii Kumel) I'd watch Kutai herd the animal within the circle with interested eye's, my lips tasting once more of the wine from the cup before lowering it to the barrel at my side, shifting out the heavy coat around me I would overturn my hand to my pipe, lowering it from my lips as the smoke was released,"Hmmm.."I'd murmur before listening to the words of Kutai and watching what most Cultures of Gor considered barbaric.
[11:49] tamazra Resident greets the girl, and sys "be ready to help if asked tiya"
[11:50] tiya (Taylor Schroeder): Yes, Mistress *she whispers, then removes her skirts to prevent them from getting bloodied. She shivers in a cold breeze but huddles under her cloak for warmth*
[11:50] ŐℜİA (0Subira Resident) smiled, "Yes Master," then walked towards the crates, grabbing an empty bucket as was requested. She notices the free but wait for permission to greet. After grabbing the item she would move it near the Master
[11:51] Shaedra Trelarus (gentleone Resident): little bothered and she also turned the attentions to the ritualistic detail she had known the haruspex for a long time, still it was a fascination each time she was allowed to attend one, quiet in her perusal as she listened
[11:51] Lucy Bronet leans to one side to watch with keen interest the proceedings of the omen reading. The animal there likely destined to give its life for a reading causes her stomach to churn slightly and she entwines her fingers, squeezing her hands tightly to not show any disrespect for the offering
[11:52] Lucy Bronet is distrcted by the presence of the familiar slave and nods a greeting to her before giving her attention once more to the Haruspex
[11:52] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sees Oria is wearing silks "those clotehs are not really fitting for the chore i needed you for, we can not have precious silks being smudged with blood, your Master would get angry" He takes the bucket she had brought and hands it to the slave Tiya "come girl, help me in this task"
[11:54] tamazra Resident watches the proceedings and remains still
[11:54] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) rises squiftly and takes the bucket
[11:55] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) lays her cloak to the side, shivering again
[11:55] ŐℜİA (0Subira Resident) looked at the Haruspex for a moment then watched as the bucket left her hands. Seeing tiya she waved to her but moved back some.
[11:55] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): Nods with respect as he watches the haruspex
[11:55] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Tell her what she must do Oria, you have helped me before" he knows that Tiya must do the dirty work of catching the blood of the verr, the moment Kutai slits its throat
[11:56] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) looks to the Free Man, then to the girl, questioningly.
[11:57] ŐℜİA (0Subira Resident) nods, "Yes Master," she said then looked to tiya, "Greetings nice to meet you, all you would need to do is capture the entrails of the verr into the bucket carefully"
[11:57] Hawke (Pegasus Firehawk): smiles...watching as one unfamiliar with reading omens steps up to help...
[11:58] tiya (Taylor Schroeder): Thank you, Kajira.   Catch the entrails.   *she smiles briefly, then eyes turn back to the Free Man, watching his every move*
[11:59] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): The netrails and the blood
[11:59] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): entrails
[11:59] Lucy Bronet holds her clenched hands beneath her chin, focusing on the verr and the bucket in the girl's hands. She swallows back the bile rising in her gorge and mutters to herself softly imprecations about her own squeamish foolish self. Briefly she glances to the others to see how they are each preparing for the reading and notes only herself appears discomforted. With a breath, she schools her face to a respectful calm, lifting her chin in mock bravery, determined to not shame the host, her friend Tuor.
[12:00] tiya (Taylor Schroeder): Yes, Master.  Thank you.  *she prepares to get thoroughly soaked*
[12:00] Paul (phaneroz Panthar) woches the goings on ceafly intitly woching all aroned
[12:01] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): hold his head high as the offering to the sky spirits that we pray to
[12:02] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) takes a ritual quiva from his belt and holds it towards the sun, to check if it's sharp enough. Of course it was sharp enough for all Tuchuk make sure the quiva are in excellent condition, it was just a habit of the trained warrior to check his weapons before action. He takes the animal again at the horns, now with one strong hand, used to reigning kaiila
[12:02] tamazra Resident keeps her hand folded quietly in her lap, her face full of awe, and unshed tears in her eyes as the drama unfolds
[12:02] Syala Nakos (Estereya Resident) continues to watch playing with her fingers nervously
[12:05] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) forces the head of the verr male into an angle that his throat was visible. Kutai makes a quick movement, unseen for most, and plunges the saddle dagger in the main vein of the beast. Kutai aims the wound so that the blood stream goes into the bucket the slave girl Tiya is holding
[12:05] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): raise his hand up toward the sky as the offering is to be given to the great sky Spirits as he looks up in to the skies
[12:05] Lucy Bronet winces as the bright sun flickers across her eyes when the man lifts it to the sky. Knowing the sacrifice is iminent, she straightens her spine shifting to give due homage to the great skills of the Haruspex as he conducts the ritual of reading.
[12:06] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) grips the bucket. She has to barely move it at all, catching most of the blood, except for a bit of the initial splatter into the bucket.  She flailing of the beast threatens to overturn the bucket.
[12:06] tamazra Resident swallows as the last breath of the beast is drawn and its blood spews forth in a arc not unlike the bow that follows the rainstorm
[12:08] Shaedra Trelarus (gentleone Resident): stirred in the Ihn of the beast last breath, letting out her own, to look to the spirits in the sky, for a shifting of the air, expelling her spent breath as she watched
[12:08] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) makes a wry grin and looks at Lady Telima "i guess you want the blood for making black pudding for your companion"
[12:09] Lucy Bronet finally relents to her squeamish belly and closes her eyes as the last drop falls into the bucket held by the girl tiya. Only for a moment, though, hoping no one will notice her. Once more she looks to the Haruspex and smiles weakly at his jest to the Lady Telima. Veils do have a number of good points, she decides.
[12:09] Telima  Tanakh-Na'Kos (TelimaTanakh Resident): yes it would be a honor
[12:09] Ruri Firehawk (Lynn Bluecoat): greetings all
[12:10] Hawke (Pegasus Firehawk): kewll...kisses you more
[12:10] Lucy Bronet nods to the woman arriving but remains silent in respect for the Haruspex and his reading of the Omens
[12:11] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) catches as much of the blood as she can, waiting for the entrails.  She grimmaces as she watches the light fade from the beasts eyes.

[12:13] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks at the slave girl who hold the bucket "bring the blood to the Lady who gave me this animal, now dead, and laying in a part of it's blood at the ground" He thinks a moment "and bring back a new bucket for i still have to remove the entrails"
[12:14] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) picks up the bucket and looks around for the woman ... she knels before the wagon woman with the bucket.
[12:15] Telima  Tanakh-Na'Kos (TelimaTanakh Resident): thank you Tiya
[12:15] tiya (Taylor Schroeder): Mistress, I offer you this bucket, for your ceremony.
[12:15] ŐℜİA (0Subira Resident) watched in awe at tiya's catching skill in nods in approval as it was impressive. She looked at the Haruspex and waited to hear if a need was of her to help in some way.
[12:16] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) leaves the bucket beside the woman, then runs off to the supply tent, bringing a fresh bucket and returning to the officiant's side.
[12:16] Telima  Tanakh-Na'Kos (TelimaTanakh Resident): takes the bucket and sits it beside her
[12:16] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sees Oria looking and commands her "bring me a paga girl, and hold it ready for i am mostly thirsty after a ceremony like this"
[12:17] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) sits out of the way, so all can observe, waiting to leap forward once the knife has done its work.
[12:17] ŐℜİA (0Subira Resident) smiled, "Yes Master," and stood prepared to salute in a joking manner but decided not to as it would be inappropriate.
[12:18] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) kneels near the verr and takes his quiva again. He slits open the belly of the dead animal and makes the opening wider with his hand. He has rolled up his sleeves for he does not want his clothes to be bloodied "let me have a look at this"
[12:19] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) moves closer, not sure what comes next.
[12:19] Syala Nakos (Estereya Resident) watches in awe as he cut the beast more.
[12:20] Paul (phaneroz Panthar) woches the Master at work and moves clower to my Mistress to offer her some reaseines
[12:20] tamazra Resident admires the sureness and the speed at which the haruspex works his hands sure
[12:21] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) arms go into the belly of the diseased verr and searches the liver, he first find some moist intestines and pulls them out, laying them before Tiya "put these in a bucket slave, see it as an extra snack which flavors the slave gruel of the girls in this camp. He then adds a kidney, which was in the path to the liver he was seeking"
[12:22] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) places the meat in the bucket
[12:23] tamazra Resident looks over to syala, and whispers, "your first?"
[12:24] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) finds, after some minutes of searching the warm liver of the verr, he stands up and holds it high so all can see that he has found the readable substance present in this sacrifice animal. A verr is a perfect animal for such practices, a bosk is too holy, and a kajirus the opposite, not worthy to be killed for such purpose
[12:24] ŐℜİA (0Subira Resident) swiftly returned back to the Master and looked at the verr a bit sadly for a moment. She held the wooden footed bowl of paga in hand at the ready for whenever he would need a sip. Looking past she smiled to tiya nodding to her 'for a job well done,' then watched the Haruspex work at the animal
[12:28] tamazra Resident whispers and says, 'I do not know if you have seen this done befor."
[12:28] Shaedra Trelarus (gentleone Resident): opening her eyes from the meditaion to the Skies...as Haruspex lifted the liver high, mesmerized her gaze as she followed, listen for the omens
[12:29] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) normally has an altar to lay the verr liver on, but since this is a casual gathering he just holds the warm liver in his hands and looks at it. He tries to make a mental connection to the Open Sky, to get the approval of the divine for his reading and for the gathering
[12:29] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) looks into the bucket, the meat still throbbing with the echoes of life.  "Dinner" she whispers softly.
[12:29] Syala Nakos (Estereya Resident) chuckles  nodding "yes i have never seen some thing like this  before it is amazing."
[12:30] Thaddeus Dexing (DLMiksch Resident): Tal free! Tal slaves!
[12:31] tamazra Resident: shakes her head trying not to chuckle at tiya's comment
[12:31] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks at Lady Syala "yes, you told me before that you grew up outside the common religious habits of our people" he studies the liver again, and sees it;s blood red, not brown, like many, but very red. His mind gets an image what lays ahead when his trance and connection with the Tuchuk god, the Open Sky, grows.
[12:32] ŐℜİA (0Subira Resident) listened with excitement and wonderment of what would be spoken. She gasped slightly, releasing a short breath of air from her soft lips.
[12:32] tamazra Resident feels and electric energy in the air, and a fear comes over her, she claps her hands tightly trying not to shake
[12:34] Syala Nakos (Estereya Resident) grins  biting her lip in anticipation.
[12:35] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) opens his eyes, and awakens from his partial absent mindedness and speaks his omen "the Open Sky is very pleased that we Tuchuk, after so many years gather together again. I can see this for the liver is red, red as seldom before, red as the blood which will flow when our quiva, lances and arrows will hit the vermins living behind walls. All this pleases the Open sky, for he loves the Tuchuk, Kataii, Kassar, and a bit less the Paravaci (for they send him inferior slaves) but he despises people who hide behind stones"
[12:37] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) drops he used liver to the grass and signals Oria to bring him the required cold paga
[12:37] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) tries not to pout at the loss of the liver from dinner.
[12:38] Shaedra Trelarus (gentleone Resident): "slowly the words reached her as she absorbed them, they seemed a blessing for the many of the tribes, a smiles under her veils, confident in the haruspex words having seen their lifting of the people
[12:38] tamazra Resident sees the liver fall to the ground and thinks of the waisted pate
[12:38] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): He stands " Thank you Haruspex for the reading of the Omens "
[12:40] Ruri Firehawk (Lynn Bluecoat): smiles warmly listening to the words of the ceremony, feeling the unity if the wagon people warm my heart
[12:40] Syala Nakos (Estereya Resident) tilts her head "do we cook the verr to eat now or no?" it did look delicious.  and would taste nice well seasoned roasting over the fire.
[12:40] ŐℜİA (0Subira Resident) hurries seeing the motion to her and raised the paga bowl higher for his grasps. She looked at his hands and the powerful look on his face and nodded as his Omen reading was really good.
[12:41] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): I wish to welcome all th e Tuchuks and vistors that have come to attend this gathering of the Tuchuk Tribes " this day we coemto gether as one people be our lands are scattered from the coast of Thassa to the southern foothills of the Voltai Range to the lands to the north, up to the banks of the Cartius River, a tributary of the Vosk River
[12:42] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) takes the paga from the slave girl and drinks from it. The rest he uses to wash his hands from the blood and other body fluids of the verr. He dries his hands at the long black silken hair of the buxom-ed slave girl, owned by an apprentice of him
[12:42] tamazra Resident lets out the deep breath that she is suddenly aware she has been holding
[12:43] ŐℜİA (0Subira Resident) smiled and cheered, "Great Job Master!" she giggled
[12:43] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) holds the bucket in her hands, looking up, waiting to be dismissed.
[12:44] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): you can bring the entrails to the kitchen Tiya
[12:44] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) also dismisses Oria after anding her the empty paga bowl
[12:44] tiya (Taylor Schroeder): Yes, Master.   *and thus, dismissed, she runs off to find the appropraate tent, if she can*
[12:45] ŐℜİA (0Subira Resident) received the bowl, "Thank you Master," she smiled and stood to go clean it
[12:45] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): we are one People we the Nomads of the Plains look tothe future to withstand any that might put our way of life at jeoparty this is now force on This Planet that can withstand the Nomads of Gor"
[12:45] tiya (Taylor Schroeder) comes back as soon as she is able, freshly washed.  She puts her skirts and cloak back on.
[12:46] tamazra Resident looks to tiya, "I am pleased" in a soft tone
[12:46] Ƭυσя Ɲα'Ƙσѕ (Tuor Resident): drink be happy and cleebrate this day my friends thereis tospit to be wagered on onthe platform behind us drink inthe tent and freash bost roastin onthe fire before us
[12:46] 0Subira Resident washed the bowl carefully in fresh water and soap before placing it back with other bowls on a drying rack.
