[12:10] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): i want check the vulo nests
[12:11] Hakimba Oakleaf: Tal Haruspex
[12:11] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) takes a bowl of paga from Oria and drinks a bit
[12:11] Hakimba Oakleaf: so we will go for a walk to check the nests
[12:12] Hakimba Oakleaf puts nadi at her feet
[12:12] nadi (Nara Zsun): listens intently looking from her master to the haruspex
[12:12] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): not the nest, i worry about their behaviour
[12:12] nadi (Nara Zsun): hmmm that doesn't sound good
[12:13] nadi (Nara Zsun): have the nests been ravaged by sleen Master?
[12:14] Hakimba Oakleaf: aaahhh do you think this could be a preadvice of a disaster?
[12:14] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks at Nadi "the nest seem fine but the vulo behavior is stange
[12:15] nadi (Nara Zsun): aaahhh
[12:15] Hakimba Oakleaf follows the haruspex
[12:17]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) followed everyone to an opening and looked up seeing the many stars and moons. A breeze blew and she shivered. Taking up some of her hair she wrapped it around her arms
[12:17] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmm they are really strange they dont fly
[12:18] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): their flight behavior is abnormal, since the last days, i can't explain why they behave like that
[12:18] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) throws a peice of earth near the nest "watch!"
[12:18] nadi (Nara Zsun): OOOO ducks under her Master's arm
[12:18] Hakimba Oakleaf: ohhh now they are flying
[12:19] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yes and their pattern is not normal
[12:19] nadi (Nara Zsun): looks like they sit on a nest, and are trying to protect their eggs
[12:19]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) listened intently to the wise Haruspex and then viewed the vulos. As the birds fluttered through the darkened sky right before the sun appeared over the land she smiled.
[12:19] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmm i really hope this doesnt mean anything dangerous
[12:20] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) nods "it can mean anything, my skills as an augur are considerable, but i am mainly a liver reader, not a bird seer"
[12:21] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmmm just before i came out of the wagon there was a woman here  ((she reminded me of that ghost natasha))
[12:21] nadi (Nara Zsun): oooo listens wide eyed to the words of the Haruspex
[12:21] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yea, i saw her too, but spoke an enchantement and she disappaered
[12:21] Hakimba Oakleaf: do you know someone who reads the flight of the birds?
[12:22] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yes, we must consult Initiates
[12:22] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): we have no augurs at the wagon people, and i even doubt if the Initiates have experts, they do minly liver reading also
[12:23] Hakimba Oakleaf nods  i hope the magic energy of OV will keep any evil away as long as we dont know what this behaviour means
[12:23] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): But thy might have books I can study
[12:23]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) reached down in her nadu position on the rough ground to stroke the short grass. She made a quick glance to nadi as she could hear the concern in the Haruspex voice, then looked at him, "Master...is there anything I can do to help in finding a bird reader?"
[12:23] nadi (Nara Zsun): oh dear. I hope we don't have bad winter coming....perhaps the birds know something we don't
[12:24] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): we must visit their temples. we will start at the one of Dupie
[12:24] Hakimba Oakleaf nods  you are right nadi
[12:25] Hakimba Oakleaf: kk we should not wait

[12:35] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): let the tarn land at the docks of the tempel territory
[12:35] nadi (Nara Zsun): holds around her Master's waist tight. Glad when her lands his tarn safely jumps to the ground
[12:35]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) slide from the tarn and looked around the new environment
[12:36] Hakimba Oakleaf hops from the tarn and follows Kutai
[12:36] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): stop
[12:37] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) watches the blue light coming out of the trees, he dares no further, it could be a form of the blue flame of the Priest Kings
[12:38] nadi (Nara Zsun): gulps looking in the direction of the blue light nervously
[12:39]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) was in awe by the light, but then shook seeing the robed figures...."Those look like reapers...," she said lowly to nadi
[12:39] Hakimba Oakleaf nods  maybe it is like a protection shield for the temple
[12:39] nadi (Nara Zsun): nods at oria looking around for an escape route
[12:40] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): thats very well possible Hakimba
[12:41] nadi (Nara Zsun): stays close to her Master, trying to slip under his strong arm
[12:41] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmmm do you know a way to call one of the initiates here
[12:42] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sees three person standing behind the strange blue rays, they are robed, and one wears a sword, unsheathed, held high, the other is an Initiate, holding a staff, The thrid a bit to the behind wears a lantern "Tal" he greets them "I am Kutai, the haruspex, I come for an advise"
[12:43] nadi (Nara Zsun): listens her eyes wide with expectation
*  "come no further thou infidel" the man in dark robe with the sword says in a harsh voice "we don't allow non believers of the Priest Kings here"
[12:44]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) knelt and debated to close her legs or not since it was Initiates there, but kept in nadu. Turning to her side she peered over her shoulder at the ominous beings.
[12:44] Hakimba Oakleaf stares in awe at the strange men
[12:46] nadi (Nara Zsun): stares in fear of the large magical looking sword held by the man in the dark robes.
[12:46] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "I am a Tuchuk, i am a friend of the Priest Kings, we guarded a element of great importance for them, and many Tuchuks, including our old Ubar died in protecting it" he means the Priest Kings egg, but he does not say such, for such knowledge he does not share with anyone, and certainly not with slaves who only have first knowledge"
[12:47] Hakimba Oakleaf listens silently
[12:48]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) stayed behind the Haruspex, but was alert to anything that might happen or orders given. Her eyes fixated on the robed Holy One in black, the long sharp sword she feared.
* The man with the lantern speaks now "I heard that the Tuchuks are seen as a brave tribe by the Priest Kings. We will not allow you entrance today for we are having a secret ceremony, But you said you came for advice, so speak out your question, we will try to answer according our best knowledge"
[12:50] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) turns to Oria "give me some paga first so i don"t have to speak with a dry throat" he does not over the paga to the Initiates for they don't drink alcohol nor touch women.
[12:51]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) had quiet thoughts; which some could even call prayers, but did not speak them aloud as it was forbidden for kajirae. Silently she hoped for the protection of the Masters and nadi from theses powerful looking beings. Lifting the bota, "Yes Master, here you are"
[12:52] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) takes the bota, and drinks from it. Then he cleans the opening and hands it to Hakimba
[12:53] Hakimba Oakleaf: thank you Haruspex  .. takes the bota and drinks a big sip  ...
[12:53] Hakimba Oakleaf hands the bota back to oria
[12:55] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) starts defining his question "as I said i am a haruspex, nd an expert in liver reading. I also have a little knowledge of examining the flights of birds. Lately i saw some movements of wild vulo which i can not explain. This means I lack knowledge, I ask for your advice, How can i expand my knowledge of Bird reading? "
[12:56]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked around to see if they could get around the Initiates if it was necessary, She glanced at the  sea water; which was probably full of eels and then looked back at the three tall Initiates. It was a new thing to see that some wielded swords, but perhaps was an Initiate warrior or something.
*  The man with the staff now answers "I am an augur, a bird watcher. he shows the staff he is holding. As you can see at my staff. I see you hold no such staff, maybe you left at home, but seeing your question, i assume you don't have such a staff. For reading birds you need one. For the staff." he point at the circle on top of it "divides the heaven in sectors, which help in explaining the flight behaviour of the birds"
[13:01] Hakimba Oakleaf: listens
[13:02]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) stared at the large staff and tried to remember the shape of it. "Amazing," she said lowly. She felt the Haruspex was brave for facing there beings
[13:03] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) thinks a moment "this means I need a augur staff, and then learn the knowledge from some one who knows, like you.. My first issue is therefor, how can i get such a staff, do the temples sell them? "
[13:06] Loolitta Allen is offline.
*  The staff bearer answers "unfortunate we can not make such staff, that knowledge has gone. Most of us have staffs which are inherited from augur to augur. Of course there are latter staffs, but they miss the power needed for complex flights. My staff even comes from the planet Earth and is brought by one of the first priests when the Priest Kings asked him to come here on Gor"
[13:08]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) calmed more and more as it was feeling like they would not be in danger, but still would not face them at risk of exposing her "unholy" heat to the Holy Ones.
* The augur continues "i advise you to search in Tempel libraries for if there are people on Gor who can make staff, or that there are lost staffs in deserted Tempels. Those you can find in the North where Torvaldslanders, those infidels believing in Thos and Odin attacked many monasteries and others holy places
[13:10] Hakimba Oakleaf scratches his head  this seems to get difficult
[13:10] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): That is a good advice, but it means a lot of work, but as said, Laziness is the Kur's earpillow"
[13:11] Hakimba Oakleaf nods smiling
[13:12] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "so be it, once you found the staff matching you, you can return, and i can teach you how to yield it" the bird seer says
[13:12] Hakimba Oakleaf: i hope we will find the matching staff before its to late
[13:13] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): ?me bows slightly then says "I thank you for your advice and i will starts a quest for a suitable staff. I wish you Sky blessings" he turns and walks back to the tarn waiting

[11:31] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): well, according to the signals, the tempel of the white caste must be here, i have never seen it, even that I discussed with the white caste here
[11:31]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) smiles back to nadi then looks at the interesting altar area.
[11:31] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): mind one thing, our sluts are not allowed in the tempel, if they enter and we get caught, we can't prevent them from being punished
[11:32] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): they might even cook us all in tharlarion oil for being infidels
[11:32]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) smiled as a bird landed on her shoulder then rubbed its beak softly while enjoying the nature.
[11:33] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks stern to the girls "understoo?"
[11:33]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident): "Yes Master"
[11:33] nadi (Nara Zsun): yes Master
[11:33] Hakimba Oakleaf: ohhh that sounds dangerous
[11:33] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): good because i got impression the birds were of more importance then my words
[11:33] Hakimba Oakleaf: so the girls should stay here?
[11:34] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): it is dangerous, that why i seek this tempel, and not gonna explore the one in Kasra, which might be less tolerant
[11:34] nadi (Nara Zsun): Nods yes the temples are forbidden for slaves and even some low caste My Master
[11:34] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): no follow us, just not enter the temple
[11:35] Hakimba Oakleaf nods  be careful  dont forget i need you nadi
[11:35] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) walks to the first building which has a kinda altar but a quick inspections learns him this is a speaking chair for magistrates
[11:36] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): girls can enter here, is no tempel
[11:36] nadi (Nara Zsun): whispers to oria look like they had a companionship ceremony here
[11:36]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) moved up then knelt to the grass as she watched the Masters moved up the stairs. After looking around the area she stood up to walk after hearing the Haruspex.
[11:37]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) nodded to nadi in agreement
[11:37] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) grabs some of the scrolls, and sees they are some old bookscrols, illustrated
[11:38] Hakimba Oakleaf: do you think to get hints here about the meaning of the flight of the vulos?
[11:38] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): we need to find an augur staff, and instructions,
[11:38] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): the staff first
[11:39] Hakimba Oakleaf nods
[11:39] Hakimba Oakleaf: the staff seems to be difficult to get
[11:39] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) reads the parchment and sees its about some ceremonies of the initiates for companioned couples who need a religious ceremony too
[11:40] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yes, thats what the Augur said, rae, and the skills to make them might have stayed at Earth
[11:40] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): and maybe lost tehre too
[11:41] Ama (Amanita Pavlova) is online.
[11:41] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): lets seek the other building
[11:41]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) admired the beauty of the marble type of design and the chiffon fabric hanging from the columns. In the distance she could see lots of water then assumed it was sea
[11:43]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) smiled as realized she had been here before during En'kara ceremony, but stayed int he grass with other kajirae as many free entered the temple as well as the white robbed Holy Ones.
[11:43] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sees a white building "that looks more like a temple. it's small, but this is only a village
[11:44] Hakimba Oakleaf nods   maybe you get some hints here
[11:44] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yes, lets seek some answers girls stay in the grass
[11:45]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) stayed in the grass and then smiled to nadi, "I remember this place, but was a long time ago," she said with a nod
[11:46] Hakimba Oakleaf is impressed by this place
[11:46] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) eyes go over the marble floor of the further white temple, the marble is white with grey elements which is normal for metamorphic rok
[11:47] Hakimba Oakleaf nods i have never seen something like this at the plains
[11:48] nadi (Nara Zsun): keeps her eyes lowered not wishing to accidentally see something she should not under penalty of possible death.
[11:49] Hakimba Oakleaf winks at nadi to stay calm
[11:49]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) stared on as the night set in and she rubbed her hands. Quietly she wondered things about Initiates and that slave arax whom she had met back in Vigo.
[11:49] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): no, because we don't like stone buildings, but mind the temple of Turia was bigger then this one, this seems some minor temple. You can also see at the ornaments here, it's almost Spartan. I have not much hope to find an answer here
[11:50] Hakimba Oakleaf nods  you are right Haruspex
[11:51] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks around, he watches the temple, and the sea behind "seemingly they have never heard of pirates here, this spot is ideal for Torvaldslanders to raid. Probably they feel safe here, never having heard of Lindisfarne, a holy island sacked by men from the North"
[11:53]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) tried to listen to what the Haruspex was saying but could only hear pieces since they were so far away. She leaned forward in nadi but almost fell into the grass. Swiftly she sat back on her heels and giggled lowly for her folly. "Nadi, this is very peaceful."
[11:54] nadi (Nara Zsun): nods quite damp and uncomfortable though
[11:55] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) decides to leave the temple, thinking this trip was in vain, apart from the pleasure to travel and see otehr lands of course
[11:56] Hakimba Oakleaf nods  it was interesting and you need to begin at one spot.. so it was not really in vein
[11:57] Hakimba Oakleaf: then we better return to the valley
[11:57]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) smiled as she listened to her,  then her view became fixed on the flames that edged the front of the tempte stairs. As the Master returned she looked to their faces to try and see if they had seen something holy in the expressions.
[11:57] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yes, we better do

Kutai and Ora visit Venna, they search a market but end at an official  reception

[11:28] Gage Colinsgrove approaches the wagon man.. "Greetings!"
[11:28] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sees the scribe coming to him, and greets back "Tal, Sir"
[11:29] Gage Colinsgrove: "I am Gage, Ambassador of Venna... " he says, smiling "You have come all this way from the plains? We are honored."
[11:30] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "i am Kutai, the haruspex, yes, i travelled from the South, I visited the tournament yesterday and was exploring the city just now"
[[11:31]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) quieted as the Master Gage approached but looked to the Haruspex boot and waited to be told to greet. She rubbed her knee gently
[11:31] Gage Colinsgrove smiles "well met, haruspex. You are welcome in peace. The markets are open, and there are Tharlarion Races later that you might enjoy."
[11:31] Gage Colinsgrove turns his head at the Kajira "Greetings, pretty thing."
[11:31] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "actually i had a question, do you have a white caste temple in the city? "
[11:33]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) giggled but kept her eyes low at hearing the compliment. Looking ti the cobblestones pathway now she ran her fingers between the cracks while listening to the free talk
[11:33] Gage Colinsgrove: "Aye, on the Hill to my right. A small open temple, because the World honors the Priest Kings."
[11:34] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): aah, on the hill. I will visit that, maybe i meet en Initiate who could help me with his advice, thank you
[11:34] Gage Colinsgrove nods "of course... now if you will excuse me..."
[11:35] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) smiles
[11:35] Gage Colinsgrove smiles "I wish you well, haruspex."
[11:35] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): be well Ambassaor
[11:36]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) clapped with excitement as it was good to have a lead on this journey for Initiate temples and such.
[11:36] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): folow me Oria, lets seek the temple
[11:38] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) climbs up the hill , following the path the Ambassador showed him, after a short trip he finds the round, but small temple
[11:38]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) moved down to the soft sand as they neared the altar/temple..."It is beautiful Master," she smiled wide.
[11:39]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) giggled and laughed...."OOOh peacocks, they are so beautiful," she said gently stroking the feathers.
[11:40] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yes, those are nice animals, aybe they are used for omens, that the whites use them for ivestigating their feedin pattern
[11:41]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) listened to the Master as she followed the birds around and as soon as she neared to touch the feather of the male, it moved away.
[11:42] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): i will look in the temple, you must stay outside with the peacocks
[11:42]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident): Yes Master
[11:43] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) steps in the temple, but sees no priest, nor scrolls which would help him further in his quest "alas, no holy ones here'

Cartius

[08:58] Kitten (karyn Avon) looks to her eyes, "dont worry, My Mistress was having a bad day, you look fine to me and your master likes you, that is all that matters"
[08:58] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Greetings kajirae
[08:59] Annie (Lizzy Lowtide) smiled a little more at kitten before turning her gaze to Kutai..The man was unfamiliar and ou of habit. cupcake found her knees. "Greetings Master" offered him politely
[08:59] Kitten (karyn Avon) hears the voice and jumps as it scared me, turns and sees it was a Master, I kneel very fast, "Greetings Master, it is so good to see you today, would you be needing a drink or anything today?"
[09:01] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) his herlit eyes go over the 2 kajirae, they are pretty, but he has not come to enjoy girls in this city, his plans are different "a drink I might take later, first i have business to do. For that i need to see the temple of the White Caste"
[09:03] Annie (Lizzy Lowtide): "I will take you, if it please you Master" she pipes up softly, her gaze slipping to Kitten and giving her a grateful smile for her kindness. "You will tell the Mistress, I am seeing to the Maser..please?" she asks softly
[09:03] Kitten (karyn Avon) looks to him, then down, saying, "yes, i know where that is Master, if you wish I can take you there", then looks to cupcake, "or she can, I am sure she knows where it is", then smiles to her, "of course I will tell her"
[09:05] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) hears the chestnut haired girl answer , she will lead him, he is glad the city has a temple otherwise he would have to travel even further to the city of Kasra. He then hears the silver haired one too "well, I have no preference for my guide, you girls are both as pretty as it can be, so one lead me th way"
[09:06] Annie (Lizzy Lowtide): "Many thank yous" she say s, her taharian accent botching her common tongue gorean a bit. Her gaze would lilt up to Kutai, and when and if he were ready, Cupcake rose to her feet and became poised to lead him.. "If it pleasing you to follow me Master" she says and heads up the incline, his words putting a blush upon her well-fed cheeks.
[09:06] Kitten (karyn Avon) smiles to cupcake, "you go girl, I will start on the dishes here in the inn, they need to be cleaned", then looks tot he Master, "please have a wonderful visit master"
[09:07] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sees the auburn girl with the southern accent rises "lead, and i will walk behind your pretty wiggling ass"

[09:09] Annie (Lizzy Lowtide) giggled softly, and indeed provided him with a view as she walked ahead. The ample rounds of a thick backside bounced generously as they found the steps of the temple. "The temple , is there anything else Cupcake can be doing for you Master?" she asks, her eyes flickering up a him though lowering to his chest respectfully
[09:11] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) follow the kajira with the Rubensian ass, he licks his lips when it dances before him. After some stairs he sees a building with the insignes of the white caste "I thank you for leading me, for the moment I have no eed for your services since you are not allowed to enter the temple I assume, as far as I know the laws of temples and the blessed ones" in his own lands kajirae particpate in religious ceremonies, but in his contacts with Initiates he knows it's different in their temples"
[09:16] Annie (Lizzy Lowtide) smiled some, and the day only needed the validation of the male sex to send her little slave heart soaring. "I am not allowed inside, no Master, though I have to admitting, I am curious sometimes " she says flashing those darkly lined eyes toward the loom structure. Her gaze slipped from the build to the man, and it lingered on him a beat to long...a curious look seeping into a lascivious one...she licking her own lips this time..."Many apologies, but i have a task to attend, Cupcake begs to be released Master" she says after getting to her knees and begging the way she aught too.
[09:17] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) eyes go again over her voluptuous body and then sees the iron belt, so he knows his lust will not be fulfilled, even if he was horny at the moment, which luckily is not the case. "you can perform your task, Cupcake, and I will perform mine, which is tedious book reading "
[09:18] Annie (Lizzy Lowtide) leaned forward pressing telekint stained lips to the stone before his booted feet. "Many thank yous for allowing me to serve...i wish youwell Master" she says before rising and scampering off into the distance"
[09:32] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) enters the temple after the kajira vanished to do her chores, he feels the door of the temple which is locked. This surprises im one way, since temples should always be open for the public. But maybe this was a sign of the exclusiveness of the white caste that they have evolved so far from the common people that their temples are exclusive too

Kasra

[10:49] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) takes of his bow
[10:49]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) stepped on the docks then knelt as she looked around then inhaled the sea air...causing her to cough some as it stung her nose.
[10:49] Hakimba Oakleaf puts his bow down too
[10:51] Night Gate opened by Kutaituchik Kroitschov
[10:52] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks over the central plaza, which he has already seen at the map of the city he acquired
[10:53]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) moved behind the Haruspex with each step as they entered the plaza. She smiled seeing the beautiful fountain and the buildings; which seemed to be made of stone or a blend of stone and sand.
[10:53] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): according the map, i suspect the main buildings including the temple at the front rght behind the plaza
[10:54] Hakimba Oakleaf follows the haruspex as he seems to know the way
[10:55] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) tries the door, but feels it is closed
[10:55] Water Bola whispers: Fresh cool water!
[10:55] nadi (Nara Zsun): is this the temple Master? Not wishing to be killed in case they were to enter it.
[10:55] Hakimba Oakleaf: we will tell you where you should wait
[10:56]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) took a sip of water since it was proving to be a good source of exercise. She took mental pictures.
[10:57] Hakimba Oakleaf: this looks more like a tavern than like a temple
[10:57] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) walks into an now open other huge building "this does not seem very much of a temple either
[10:58] Hakimba Oakleaf: it looks like the temple is closed
[10:59] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) next building is an open pation wth to identical buildings with pillars on both sides "a bath house"
[11:00] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) goes to a building which is a library, but thats locked also
[11:01] Hakimba Oakleaf nods  the city has a lot of buildings   but we only need a temple
[11:01] nadi (Nara Zsun): strange ....does not appear to be a very friendly city Master
[11:02] Hakimba Oakleaf: the people here are sleeping i think  they shut the houses because they are afraid of thieves
[11:02] nadi (Nara Zsun): OOOO
[11:02] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yes, i think so too
[11:02] nadi (Nara Zsun): looks around to they have many raids here Master
[11:02] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) takesa piece of iron and starts working the lock
[11:02] Library Door : ⚒ Kutaituchik Kroitschov starts to lockpick... (wait here 3 min till end of timer. A new click will stop the lockpick)
[11:03]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) hurried to catch up with everyone
[11:05] nadi (Nara Zsun): watches with great curiosity as the Haruspex tried to pick the lock on the door
[11:05] Library Door ⚒ Lockpicked by Kutaituchik Kroitschov
[11:06] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): after some minutes Kutai with help of the Sky manages to pen the doors of the library
[11:06] Hakimba Oakleaf: this is really an amazing library
[11:06]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) entered the room, seeing all of the many scrolls and written accounts of things.
[11:07] Hakimba Oakleaf: did you find a sroll with the informations we need?
[11:07] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sees some books about the wagon people
[11:08] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Caste information: now seek Initiates
[11:08] nadi (Nara Zsun): looks around astounded at all the written works in the room...So many hours of recording the history and training in Gor
[11:09] Hakimba Oakleaf: well i would need nadi to read such scrolls for me
[11:09] Object: Delivering "Tools of the Initiates"
[11:09] Second Life: Object owned by Kelia Swords (xKeliax Resident) gave you 'Tools of the Initiates'  ( Domain West (121,14,21) ).

[11:09] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) findsa scroll "Tools of the Initiates"
[11:10] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) takes it with him and strats reading "you guys can looks around and maybe you find other nice books, for instance about Wagonpeople cooking"
[11:11]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked around the library and searched for a candle so the Haruspex could read the scrolls but not seeing one she hoped the light from the moons would be sufficient, although a dim light existed as well
[11:12] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) reads a loud "the Initiates used a staff A tall staff surmounted by a golden circle, carried in processions
 Magicians of Gor"
[11:12] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): thats what we seek, so the 3 Initiates at the Dupies temple did not lie
[11:13] Maia (fionna Carter) is online.
[11:13] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) reads further ""In a moment we could see the lifted golden circle, on its staff, approaching. " -- Magicians of Gor'
[11:14] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmmm do you think we even need a golden staff?
[11:14] Gireaux Resident is online.
[11:14] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): a circular staff, it divides the Sky, so we can categories the flight of birds, but we still have to read where to find it
[11:14] Hakimba Oakleaf nods
[11:15] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) finds another quote "He with the golden standard, that surmounted with the golden circle, was in the center. To his right was the boy with the bells. To his left was he with the censer. -- Witness of Gor"
[11:15]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident)  listened with intrigue to what was being read and could only assume a golden staff would cost lost of coin. She lifted to try and see at least some of the words the Master read.

[11:16]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) jumped hearing a bell ring and thought it was the alarm. Looking to nadi with wide eyes then back to the Master.
[11:17] nadi (Nara Zsun): turns her head in the direction of the sound...then slides closer to her Masters boot

[11:18] Hakimba Oakleaf nods i have heard that sound too but it looks they dont come closer
[11:18] nadi (Nara Zsun): perhaps they cannot open the gate My Master
[11:20] Hakimba Oakleaf nods they dont have the skills of the haruspex
[11:20]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) remained calm as it was no crime to gain knowledge then resumed trying to read what the Haruspex was reading, lifting then lowering herself back into nadu.
[11:21] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) is going through the scrol "the skills of making an Initiate staff is coming from Earth, from the ancient lands of Etruria and Laitina, the oldest staffs come from the Etrurian heartland nowadays called Tuscany with the main cities of Arezzo, Volci, Tarquinia" Kutai reads furthers "tehre is no knowledge of Goreans ever naking such staff, they are brought from Earth and based on ancient knowlde" hmm Kutai thoughs, the same as my stone plate from liver reading, that one is ancient to and the former haruspex gave it to me
[11:23] Hakimba Oakleaf sighs so this will be a very difficult problem  do you have any idea how you will get such a staff?
[11:23]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) blinked a few times in amazement to learn that such a thing held by powerful Holy Ones, had its early origins from Earth. She giggled with excitement since it helped not only to piece her knowledge of Gor, but also its connection to Earth history, "That is incredible Master"
[11:23] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "this is really bad news" Kutai thinks a moment and reads further "Divinatory inquiries according to discipline were conducted by priests whom the Romans called haruspices or sacerdotes; Tarquinii had a college of 60 of them.[8] The Etruscans, as evidenced by the inscriptions, used several words: capen (Sabine cupencus), maru (Umbrian maron-), eisnev, hatrencu (priestess). They called the art of haruspicy zich nethsrac."

If we need visit Earth to get an augur staff, the information we need is probably more available in Earth libraries in Etruria then on Gor. We only need people who can read it
[11:31] Hakimba Oakleaf nods takes the scrolls and brings them back
[11:31] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) grabs the hair of Oria "but you do speak the barbarian tongue? "
[11:32]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) squinted at hearing another bell; which was different sounding from the gate bell and the one following it. She gulped then squealed at her hair being grabbed, "Yes...yes Master, I know English....but not the other languages there. There are hundreds of languages I think"
[11:32] Hakimba Oakleaf: i have put them at the right place
[11:32] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) grunts "hundreds, but yours is the most spoken, and the language in which most books are published?'
[11:34]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) frowned as she still felt his grip on her dark locks, "Yes..well...hmm...There is English, Spanish, French, German....But older languages were Hebrew...and some others....I can't remember...," she said trying to recall her high school history knowledge; which was her least favorite subject, but she did manage to pass that class with a 'C' grade...on some tests.
[11:34] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmm  so you really intend to go to earth  ?
[11:35]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident): *was not her best*
[11:36] nadi (Nara Zsun): looks from her Master to the Haruspex wondering if they would travel in the great silver tube she had once seen arrive from earth.
[11:37] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "well we have too, if this scroll speaks the truth. I will chcek this information at the Initiates, but as far as we met them till now, they have not much knowledge at all, they are almoast parasites leaning on the superstition of the commoners. Think, they claim the Priest Kings feed their minds with future images, but we know that not the Priest Kings do that but the Open Sky, so how can there omen reading be of good quality. No we must go to the source"
[11:39] Hakimba Oakleaf: yes   we better leave before we get in trouible
[11:39] nadi (Nara Zsun): wrings her hands in worry, having little knowledge of earth ...her concern shows on her face
[11:39]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked towards the stairs as she listened to him speak of 'going to the source' and an excitement filled her heart...to see her parents again and apologize for her disobedience to them...."Master...yes ...Master that is a great idea," she said and formed a crease in her forward to try and 'will' Earth history to her mind.
[11:40] Library Door ✚ Repaired by Kutaituchik Kroitschov
[11:40] Hakimba Oakleaf: best we whistle for the tarns
[11:40] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) closes the door and repairs the lock

[11:42] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): lets have a drink at that inn
[11:42] [Tia] Chabudai Stool: Hi Kutaituchik Kroitschov! Touch me to change and/or adjust pose.
[11:43] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Oria bring me a cold paga, ask one of the inn girls, or the Inn keeper
[11:43] nadi (Nara Zsun): My Master do you wish a drink....
[11:44]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) toyed with her hair trying to ease her scalp from it being grabbed earlier..."Yes Master," she said then hurried to the kitchen
[11:44] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): at least we have a path to follow now
[11:45] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmm i am not really thirsty   i think we better whistle for the tarn to get home
[11:45] Hakimba Oakleaf: yes  this was a success
[11:45] nadi (Nara Zsun): Yes My Master
[11:47]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) walked to the kitchen with a more happier expression on her smooth face. She might get that chance in a life time to see her family, but would not get her hopes up. Reaching her hands into the water bowl, she cleaned them and utilized the towel. It took a short time for her to find what she needed in the unfamiliar setting. Grabbing a wooden footed bowl, she cleaned then check it before filling it with room temperature paga since there was none already chilled.
[11:48]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) listened and almost waved to nadi as she left, but did not break serve.
[11:51]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) knelt near the Master...."OH Master there was no one in the kitchen at the moment...I think they were sleeping, but I have made your paga. May I please serve it to you Master?"
[11:52] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yes, Oria you can serve me
[11:54]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) smiled then laid the bowl before him, ;earning ever so slightly, she glanced to him careful to not spill anything on his robes. "I do hope yo enjoy this Master. Also, I am glad you were able to find good leads to your goal"

The Great Temple

[07:35] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) checks again the minutes he made of the scrolls in Kasra that there are no augur staffs to be found in Gor. In an last attempt he decides to fly North to the Sardar Hills and visit the great temple of the White Caste in Klepios Valley
[07:37] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sees the temple from afar and lands his tarn at the tarn cot near the temple, he jumps off, after given his bird in care of the local tarnkeepers, he walks to the huge building, Kutai has seen uch, bit this is about the biggest building he saw so far apart from the temple pyramid in Tasta
[07:39] ::Kool Door right opened by Kutaituchik Kroitschov [Clicked: will stay opened till you leave range or click me]
[07:40] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) walks the long and broad stairs of the temple and goes o the gold plated door. he pushes teh door open, this temple is more welcoming then the one in Cartius which was locked. The great temple is however open and Kutai enters it

[07:44] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) walks through the hall, looking for some Initiate who can help him with his quest, but sees none, he studies the Altar and sees all kind of religious attributes but no augur staff/ He studies each object, to decipher its purpose and meaning, this because such gave him more insight in the believe in the Priest KIngs, and maybe could add to hi knowledge of reading omens

[07:47] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) goes upstairs and enters a pilalred room, full of books and instruments of geography, the great library of the white caste. He goes to the wall of books and seeks the ones about omen reading, especially bird watching
[07:48] Second Life: [Tia] The Library - Tall Double - Plain owned by Lady V. (Vixyn Felisimo) gave you 'Roman Origins'  ( Klepios Valley (193,106,44) ).
[07:50] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) takes a book about Earth, Romans, He goes through it, it's mostly about their political structure and fighting techniques, only a small reference that they had haruspices which ment gut -gazer "haruspex: This is a Roman term that literally translates as "gut-gazer." A haruspex was a fortune teller who read the entrails of sacrificed animals. He would carefully examine the color, markings and shape of the animal's liver and gall bladder. The harsupexes of Gor often do the same."
[07:54] Thulsa Dhum (cutulu Resident): Tal Sir
[07:55] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) heras a voice and stands up, turning around and seeing an Initiate "Tal sir"
[07:56] Thulsa Dhum (cutulu Resident) smiles and holds his hands together in hi belly" I hoep the day finds you well, " pauses" i'm Thulsa,
[07:57] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) hears the Initiate introduce himself as Thulsa, Kutai knows many Initiates but not this man "Tal, I am Kutai, I am the haruspex from the Tuchuk tribe, far in the South"

[07:58] Thulsa Dhum (cutulu Resident) nods to him smiling and looks around " well Met Sir, I appreciate the tuchuk people , indeed , maybe I would need some assistance in Ar , do your camp intend on passing by there ?
[08:00] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) hears hs request, he has been to Ar himself, but has no plans to go there "No, I am the haruspex from the Omen Valley, thats a fixed place, we have our wagons at the altars there, where i practice the reading of omens"
[08:02] Thulsa Dhum (cutulu Resident) smiles nodding at him" ah very interesting , may the priest kings have mercy on you and your faithful people , are you going to participate of the Sardar pilgrimage ?
[08:05] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) has heard of the Sardar pilgrimage but does not know for sure if he will participate, after all, he has a different religion but he has often visited the ceremonies of the pilgrims in Sand Sleen "I am not sue yet, I will however visit the festivals around it" he thinks a moment "at moment I am on a religious quest myself, and for that I need the help of the wise ones of the white caste"
[08:07] Thulsa Dhum (cutulu Resident) nods " It's very honorable of you Sir, a warrior with faith , rare to see , we of the blessed caste need ilitar support to keep our presence in Gor, sadly, so sad we mostly depends on hiring mercenaries or to call to arms peasants and lower caste men with no training
[08:11] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): We Tuchuks are in a more luxerous position since we have 2000 outriders to defend our sacred valley against enemies. About my quest, I have noticed that I am lacking in knowledge of reading the flight of birds, and I am seeking an augur of the Initiates who could advise me in that"

[08:14] Thulsa Dhum (cutulu Resident) nods and looks at the bookcases" so you are in a good place Sir, this one is a good library , maybe better than the one I have in Ar , " grins " i took many of the boos i have there from here, the novices are copying many of them as well" smiles warmly and shortly looks at his sword" so mayb , Sir, you still dont now you nobody may get inside a temple using weapons
[08:19] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks guilty at his sword and bows, but as a Tuchuk he only had vaguely heard of that habit. In his own valley at the altars, every men was armed since the Plains were dangerous and attacks from tarns men mercenaries were always possible "my apologies, this is a warriors habit, when i am in unknown territories, I always go armed he takes of the weapons and puts them in a blanket he carried with him to use when the wind was extra cold at high altitudes during his tarn travel "I indeed studied these books, and some scrolls in Kasra"

[08:22] Thulsa Dhum (cutulu Resident) nods calmly smiling " yes, I may uderstand is hard for a warrior to be ar from his steel, in rare occasions we permit it but only when the temple is in danger , however, i'm sure you are a good fighter even without your blade " looks at the temple entrance and slowly turns" well Sir, I hope you enjoy the library , I shall travel back to Ar , the guards must have the tarn basket prepared, " bows his head respectfully" an honour to know you Sir , if one day you visit Ar , tell them you were invited by the High Initiate Thulsa
[08:25] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) listens to the advise of the High Initiate "I have already found some information, blessed ones at the temple of the holy one Dupie told me to use the staff of an augur, bishops staff, to divide the heaven in compartments. However such staffs are rare, and inherited from Initiate to his apprentice." He hears the man will leave now so he decides to wish him a farewell "I will visit Ar, and then contact you, afterall we are both priests, and our methods have much in common"

[08:27] Thulsa Dhum (cutulu Resident) nods to him bowing his head" well, I never heard of such staffs sir , but some are really importants for rituals " he turns and goes to the door" may the Priest Kings have mercy on you Sir , I wish you well
[08:31] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) is a bit disappointed this wise man does not know much of the augur staff, but he already had expected this a bit , since bird flight watching was a rare skill. He however has gathered enough information from the scrolls to get on with his quest to find a good holy staff

[10:55] Pasero Palianta: Greetings, you old bosk!
[10:55] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yea, an old bosk i am
[10:55] Hakimba Oakleaf nods    this is not a journey to stay there  but our Haruspex needs urgently a special staff for reading the flight of the birds... only on earth there is such a staff to get
[10:56] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): aah you were talking about the staff quest
[10:57] Hakimba Oakleaf: Greetings Haruspex
[10:57] Hakimba Oakleaf: pasero was concerned about the journey with a silver ship we are planning  i tld him about the reason
[10:57] Pasero Palianta: I learned from the gir of a plan to travel to Earth in a silver machine. All I know is that only the kurii have such machines and we do not trust them, do we.
[10:58] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): some slavers have them, probably the Kurii gave it to them
[10:58] connydevil Resident is online.
[10:59] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): But i don't ask to many questions
[11:00] Pasero Palianta snorts. You are planning a flight to your death. If the Kurii gave the machines to the slavers it is because they no longer need them because there must be something wrong with it. It will probably never make it to Earth and if it does, it is less likely to come back.
[11:00] Hakimba Oakleaf chuckles   who asks to much gets mostly the wrong answers
[11:01] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): well, i think they are in good condition, after all some slaver houses flood the markets with cheap barbarian sluts
[11:01] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): so that must be a consistent trade route
[11:01] Hakimba Oakleaf nods
[11:02] Pasero Palianta nods. Well, don't say you were not warned.
[11:02] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): well
[11:02] Pasero Palianta: And what is the staff you seek?
[11:02] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): if the spaceship crashes, i won't be able to say such at all, then we are dead, and circle as dust in the Open Sky
[11:02] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): an augur staff
[11:03] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Tal Scholar
[11:03] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): Tal Haruspex
[11:03] nadi (Nara Zsun): starts to tremble at the words of the outrider hoping it would not be her who was traded to the earth people for wares the outriders wish to supply in the camp
[11:03] Pasero Palianta: I have heard of an auger bit, but not an augur staff.
[11:03] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): Tal brothers
[11:03] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): you know Pasero, he is of the Kataii, he is an old hare
[11:03] Hakimba Oakleaf: Tal brother how are you?
[11:03] nadi (Nara Zsun): Greetings outrider.....tal oria winks
[11:03] Pasero Palianta: Tal.
[11:04] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): I do not but well met
[11:04] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): Tal Hakimba
[11:04]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) smiled wide
[11:04] Hakimba Oakleaf: greetings oria
[11:04] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) laughs at Pasero's remark "an auger bi". i never heard of. But an augur is a seer like an haruspex"
[11:05] Pasero Palianta: An auger bit is to make round holes in things.
[11:05]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) ran up then kissed her Master and knelt, "Greetings Masters, and nadi," she panted after running hard
[11:06] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "aaah, I did not know. Well an agur staff, is a staff with a spiraling circle on top of it. It divides the heaven in parts, which is helpfull in reading the flight of bird flocks"
[11:07] Pasero Palianta: If you need such a staff, why don't you just make one for yourself? You don't think there is some virtue in the stick that can help you know something that by your own nature you really ought not to know, do you?
[11:07] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): I must go to the wagon to change, Oria come and help me.
[11:07]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) listened closely and forgot to change into Earth clothes, but would ask if she should once the free finished talking about things, "My Master, would you like me to go pack a travel bag
[11:07]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident): Yes my Master
[11:07] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "I have learned from the Initiates that it's an Etruscan instrument,like my liver stone, and probably only to be find in Eath churches, their bishops wear them, or museums in Tuscany"
[11:07] Thulsa Dhum (cutulu Resident) is offline.
[11:08] Hakimba Oakleaf listens
[11:09] Hakimba Oakleaf: do we really need to wear clothes from earth for this travel?
[11:09] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): no, not really, but half naked sluts will be arrested and not allowed in their churches
[11:10] Pasero Palianta: Ha I can just see you going into a museum on earth in search of a bishop's crozier!
[11:10] Pasero Palianta doubles over laughing.
[11:10] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yea, our slavers have groups living their, studing the best sluts
[11:11] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): they said "act like a Japanese group fo tourists, and nobody will notice you"
[11:11] Hakimba Oakleaf looks at nadi so you better put on a dress that covers more of your beauty
[11:11] Pasero Palianta: So when are you planning to go?
[11:12] nadi (Nara Zsun): oh My Master ....I believe in the trunk of rags you permit there is a earth dress that was taken from a slave who you collared
[11:12] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): well, i will preparate the space ship today, the moment it will arrive, and in a few days we will go, and land in a silent area on Earth
[11:13] Hakimba Oakleaf: so at first we will do some tests?
[11:13] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): we will then dress as Earth guys, and wlak into tehir cities, we will be unnoticed, since it's tourist season tehre now
[11:13] Pasero Palianta: And you will have an experienced pilot?
[11:14] Pasero Palianta: Or is it a re-trained bosk cart driver?
[11:14] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Yes, we will have, not the ame as i dealt with before, but this guy already delivered some girls from a city of NY before, I bought them, and sold them with a profit at a slave market'
[11:15] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): same*
[11:16] Pasero Palianta: Why don't you just offer to buy the staff and have the slaver fetch it for you? It would be a lot easier than risking your own life.
[11:17] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "since when is going on the safe side an option for a Tuchuk, this will be a chance to earn a new red scar, for a foolish act of bravery"
[11:17] Hakimba Oakleaf shakes his head.. only the haruspex himself can check if it is the right staff
[11:17] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): one never has enough scar's
[11:17] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) nods at Hakimba's remark
[11:18] Hakimba Oakleaf: i have heard they sell there some cheap ones for the kids to disguise at Halloween
[11:19] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yea, or some koly fellow named Santa Claus
[11:19] Pasero Palianta: I am a kataii. We do not have scars for foolishness. How will you know if it is the right staff? Is there only one, or will any verr tender's stick do?
[11:20] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): 'the Open Sky will tell me if its the right one, thats why i can't send a mere slaver. I am the haruspex, i must do it myself. About scars, well, we Tuchuks do give scars for ridiculous acts"
[11:21] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Like Harold freeing a slave from the gardens of Saphrar
[11:23] Pasero Palianta nods. No wonder you have so many! I always wondered about that. Well If you return with a really authentic bishop's staff from Earth, whether it works for you or not, I will offer to carve the scars on your face for you.
[11:23] Jaz Galea (SAHJAZA Resident) is offline.
[11:24] Jaz Galea (SAHJAZA Resident) is online.
[11:24] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): well, i never sell the fur of a larl, before i have catched it, lets first concentrate at the travel and the quest to that staff
[11:25] Pasero Palianta: Good idea. Do you know how much fuel you will need?
[11:26] Hakimba Oakleaf nods  ... that is really a good question i wouldnt even know if this ship needs bosk dung or wood
[11:26] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): thats not my problem, but the pilots
[11:26] Pasero Palianta: Maybe it uses sleen oil.
[11:27] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmmm   how many sleens do you think we will need to slaughter to get enough of the oil
[11:28] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): as said i don't bother, I don't ask a free woman i rape neither if she is wet from some hair oil she uses, or if she is moist from my penetrating rod
[11:28] Pasero Palianta: I doubt there are enough sleens in all of Gor.
[11:29] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): well, i go to the landing spot, opposite of the river
[11:29] Hakimba Oakleaf: we will follow you
[11:29] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): all we are disbelievers can follow too
[11:29] connydevil Resident is online.
[11:29] Pasero Palianta: Can't we see it from here?
[11:29] Hakimba Oakleaf winks nadi at his boot
[11:30] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): if you have a glass of the builder
[11:30] Border whispers: Kutaituchik Kroitschov, You are crossing the border between COMBAT and NON-COMBAT zone
[11:32] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) arrives at the empty apart of Omen valley west of the river

[11:32] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) arrives at the empty apart of Omen valley west of the river
[11:33] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) searches a device the pilot gave to him
[11:34] Maia (fionna Carter) is online.
[11:35] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) activates the devices and speaks in it "Tal Khu, we are there"
[11:37]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) knelt down next to her Master and smile
[11:37] Pasero Palianta looks at the ship amazed.
[11:38] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): his mouth opens as he sees the ship
[11:38] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sees the ship laning and jumps aside, the pilot does not seem to care if the landing will costs some lives
[11:39] Hakimba Oakleaf is amazed by the big ship
[11:39]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) knelt and gazed at the large ship in awe then shivered as she heard the rumbling of the engines. She smiled to nadi and held her hand, "Well, a trip back to Earth...You have never been there before, but it is an amazing place"
[11:40] Pasero Palianta: I came from there. Perhaps I should go with you.
[11:41] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) steps in the ship, the others follow
[11:41] Pasero Palianta sniffs the air inside.
[11:41] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): looks around the ship in amazement
[11:42] Hakimba Oakleaf wonders how such a vehicle can move without bosks to pull it
[11:42] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): i am not of the BUilders, but i assume this is the engine room, it does not seem to use sleen oil, or bosk dung as fuel
[11:42] Pasero Palianta: Where is the pilot?
[11:42]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) knelt on the cold floor and instantly had flash backs of when she had been taken some Gorean years ago and sighed. Brushing some of her hair to the side she exhaled to calm anxiety
[11:42] Loolitta Allen is online.
[11:42] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): some where in the front i guess
[11:44] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) walks to a door, and lays his hand palm at a red circle, it opens, seemingly is authentication works and the pilot already added his name at the access list
[11:44]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) moved near her Master's leg and held on to it while listening to the sound of metal clanking, perhaps was the ship fan, she was unsure but remained calm

[11:44] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): slave compartments aka electric fenced kennels
[11:45] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): mind this is a ship used for acquisition of people
[11:45] Hakimba Oakleaf: this ship i such big   we could stay in it even for travels longer than a year
[11:45] nadi (Nara Zsun): OOO trembles looking at the cages
[11:45] Pasero Palianta sniffs the air.
[11:45]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) glances at the small cages and felt the heat of the door but moved back quickly
[11:45] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): girls go in and show i it fits
[11:45] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): amazing
[11:46]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) turned to the Haruspex, "Yes Master," she said and moved near to the door, but was not sure how to work it
[11:46] Hakimba Oakleaf: this ship has some technolgies i neb´ver saw before
[11:47] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): This is not like a Kur vessel I saw once that crashed and we raided long ago.
[11:48] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): i don't know where ghe required it
[11:48]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) rubbed her bare shoulders as the ship was cold and she moved closer to the back wall to warm if possible.
[11:51] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Storage room enough
[11:52] Pasero Palianta: You could bring back 10000 staffs.
[11:52] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): if i have to sack churches, i can take other things too, like gold and sliver ware, tapestries
[11:54] Pasero Palianta looks into the control room. No windows in here.
[11:54] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): We could bring back new weapons to attack our enemies with as well or maybe new slaves.. He cuckled
[11:55] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): well
[11:55] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): that would draw the attention of those Priest KIngs, and they would attack us, no better land in silent fields or in far off mountain valleys
[11:56] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): slaves we can gather
[11:56]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) knelt as she watched the Master work the controls. It was interesting and she had never been in the control room. She scooted nearer to that doorway
[11:57] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks i the control room, he sees that the NPC pilot givesa signal not to disturb him
[11:58] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): well, next days we will load the ship with food, we better leae it now, since the pilot is busy recalibrating the anti gravity engines
[12:00] Pasero Palianta: I wonder if I should bring a kaiila.
[12:01] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) whispers: to Earth, or acquire one there?
[12:01] Laszlo Kuluk (kuluk Resident) is offline.
[12:01] Pasero Palianta: I plan to stay on Earth for a while.
[12:02] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Make sure, you that you arrange your travel back before hand, and don't miss the meeiting time
[12:02] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): Yes Haruspex
[12:03] Pasero Palianta: I will see if I can find my parents. They will be surprised to see me.
[12:03]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked up as she listened to the Haruspex speak on meeting time
[12:03] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): well, take them to Gor, the stabilisation shots will make them young again
[12:04] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): you don't have to woorry Oria, you will only be allowed out under heavy guarding
[12:04] Pasero Palianta nods. They are probably already dead.
[12:04] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): and mind i will kill every Earth man you ask help from to escape
[12:04]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) pointed to herself but said nothing and wondered who would be guarding her.....
[12:05]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) shook her head...."Master....," she said then looked at her Master
[12:05] Pasero Palianta: There are slaves on Earth; they just don't call them slaves.
[12:05] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): I will accompany her she will not escape
[12:05] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) nods
[12:05] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yes, many are slave in their hearts
[12:06]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) put her hand over her mouth as she was not sure how to act at the moment.
[12:06] nadi (Nara Zsun): listens to the outrider wondering what title the slaves on this place called earth would be called. Her curiosity mounting, but knowing it was not pleasing kept her lips sealed in a tight line
[12:07] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): lets drink a paga, and prepare our stuff for the coming days

Meeting an agent in Torino

[10:44] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) travels to Earth on a test flight before he would take the whole gang, he will use the trip to contact the agents of the Slaver caste who collect the luscious sluts in the area of Northern Italy. He does letteh space ship land some where in the Alps, so none who detect him, ad travels by train and capfrom de Vall d'aosta to the big city of Torino, Turin, the captial of the Italian Dpeidmont
[10:46] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) cap arrives in the center of the citys, he walks under the old arcades to a small parc and seats at a wooden bench, waiting for his contact person. The man goes sit at an otehr bench and speaks in Gorean, so nobody could hear, and if so, nobody in this town apart from slavers would know that language
[10:47] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "what is your business in Torino" the slaver agent says with an Arian accent "what is a Tuchuk doing on Earth, do you want collect some luscious Belissima here yourself? "
[10:49] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) realizes that a Gorean still would recognize him as a Tuchuk because of the scars, even when Kutaii is now dressed in plain clothes which could well be of a mountain farmer. He explains the man what he is seeking, the augur staff.
[10:52] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): The agent thinks a few moment "I need some research, a couple of days. You plan to return to Gor, or stay on Earth" Kutaii answers "i need to visit the ceremony at the Sardar palisades. I will stay 1-2 days here and then return, coming back next week or weekend"
[10:54] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): We will come back here then, i will send you a message through the usual channels. If you stay a day or 2, you could visitthe duomo of Milano, or the basilica of Mantua, there are bishops, they might have a staff|
[10:58] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) nods "i will visit these but i fear those modern bishops have lost the art of bid reading even that they have the nasty habits of the Initiates too. So most unlikely they have a good staff which i can use"
[10:59] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): so be it" the slaver said, and suddenly he is disappared between the trees of the parc. Kutai decides to return to the railway station and travel to the named cities.

Mantua

[11:24] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) takes the train to the city of Mantua, he follows the advice of slaver agent, he knows from studying maps that this area lays in old Etruscan land, but in the occupied lands, so he has little hope of finding some good augur staff here, but he does not abandone hope, sooner he will get closer to the heartland if the Etruscans and there more information would be found
[11:26] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): The Tuchuk enters the huge hall of the basilica, this building seems quite old, however much younger then the temples in Ar. He is amazed by the many pictures of divine humans, so different from Gor, where the Gods are Sky, Priest kings and some nature gods in the North

[11:32] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) walks through the cathedral seeking for a staff, he sees many religious object, however not a staff. he looks in closet. breaks open closed rooms, all without success. At last he finds the bishops room. Indeed some staff are there, but Kutai's spiritual powers feel that these staffs are just for show, for effect, they have lost the power and contact with the ancient gods of nature
[11:39] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) angrily the haruspex goes to the church, he sees some golden object used to spread incense sends, some thurible incense holder, and a thurible it self on some thin chains. Kutaii sees possibility to use these objects in his own ceremonies, and puts them in his sachet meaning these barbarians have less use for it then he a defender of the holy Tuchuk tribe

Prato

[11:51] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sits in the train to the Tuscany town of Prato, the agent of the slavers that he will be approach their again. Kutai drinks some Earth drink called Cappucino, it taste like black wine with a lot of bosk milk, but tastefull. He enjoys the beverage when he hears a Gorean male voice behind him "Tal Tuchuk, do not turn around"
[11:52] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "Greetings" the haruspex says "I though we should met at Prato", the agent answered "this is saver, the cabine is empty apart from the two of us, so e better talk now then at a busy real way station"
[11:56] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "speak then" Kutai says to the stranger he can not see.That one answers "were you successful in Milano or Mantova? " The harispex shakes a no "they only had modern build staff, they dnon't contain any spiritual power"the slaver nods "yes, i fear they are far away from purity, the priest here, i have seem them drinking paga, and whoring and some even have little boys for fun slaves"
[[11:58] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "that explains a lot, but those Earth men are degenerated, they use fire arms to kill, no one use the blade anymore, the men are weak, and the women of high standards are like sluts, specially those one's they call film stars, they celebrate them as if they are goddesses, but w e know that the artists on Gor belong to the slave class"
[12:01] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "any way" the mole said "I found 2 possible sorces for an old Etruscan staff, both are Tuscany village, near ancient ruins of Etrurian cities. Another man of us, has laid 2 maps in the church of Prato, the ancient cathedral at the main plaza"
[12:03] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) listens carefully "at the third church bench from the door, there lays a bible. Open it and you will find 2 papers, those are detailed maps, with the possible location of the staffs" Kutai's face lights up "hat are the names of these village", "thats in the maps"
[12:04] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) Kutaii hears a sound of movement behind him, he also notices the train stops, he turns around, and ... sees none, the agent has disappeared in the crowd leaving the train. Kutai decides to step out to and search for the cathedral

[12:14] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) follows the crowd and then the signs to the city center, he enters a great plaza, surrounded by many old buildings, he sees one, medieval style, with a huge tower, he first thinks it's a tarn tower then realizing there are no such birds of prey on this planet. It must be watch tower, or a church, he the hears bells, realising they are not alarm bells because they are in a quiet rhythm, not the panicking ne of alarm clocks
[12:20] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) opens the church doors, and only sees some old hags praying in the front "they should have knelt before masters" he thinks "not for some imaginary god". The priest walks to the named bench and sees a book laying with the title "Old Testament". Kutai picks it up, and opens. He can not read this Earth alphabet but decides to scroll through the pages. Such he did, and soon already he finds the promised maps on very thin rice paper. Kutai puts the papers under his cloths, then writes in an up well of cynical joy and writes in runes at the first page of the Bible "Kill your enemies, don't turn the other cheek, Enslave their women and let them learn that sexual sin is a nonsense". He then slaps the book close, and lays it visible for others at the bench. He the leaves the cathedral.

Rocca Sorrentino

[10:51] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) lands at the small village of Rocca Sorrentina, he hides the space ship in the surrounding hills
[10:53]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked around after noticing a ship
[10:53] Hakimba Oakleaf after disembarking looks around hmm this ship isnt different from ours   i
[10:53] nadi (Nara Zsun): sniffs at the salty sea air....rubs her arms sure the salt will dry her skin.
[10:54] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) takes the map he got from the slaver agent i the church of Prato, Tuscany. It showed the way to a small harbor town on the Thyrhenian Sea, the sea named after the Etruscans
[10:54] Hakimba Oakleaf smiles at the girls  i could get used to your outfits  grins
[10:55] nadi (Nara Zsun): I am so nervous .....erm hesitates remembering not to address the men as Master. I have never been on earth
[10:55]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked to the Haruspex for a moment, "Master, may I ask something?" -she said to him as she glanced around and not notice speed boats and such
[10:56] Hakimba Oakleaf nods    i will pinch your ass when you say master this will help to learn
[10:56] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): we must be careful with the authorities, before we know we get the Italian armee after us or the Carabiniere, gun armed police "yes you may Oria, but call me Colonel from now on
[10:56] nadi (Nara Zsun): ouch rubs her ass.....yes nods biting her lip to not say that forbidden word
[[10:57]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked tot he Haruspex, "Thank you Colonel...Is that ship just a display item or do people really ride around in eat, normal like? I ask because on Earth in modern times, there would normally be speed boats and yachts in a place like this"
[10:58]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident): *in it, not eat
[10:58] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): i would not know Oria, in some places speedboats are forbidden, as are cars, specially touristic places
[10:59] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): lets seek the church, according this map, they have an old church here, with treasures from 700 BC, what ever that maybe , BC?" He looks at Oria for an explanation
[11:00] Hakimba Oakleaf turns to nadi ... you may call me best "Haki" or "darling"
[11:01] nadi (Nara Zsun): grins broadly Yes licks her lips darling
[11:01]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) wrinkled her brow as she tried tor remember what it meant too, "Umm...the B.C means...Before Christ," she smiled as she remembered though had not completed her last year of high school
[11:01] Hakimba Oakleaf follows Kutai as his sixth sense should show him the way
[11:01] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) shrugs his shoulder "and that Christ is some ubar of ubars'or so?"
[11:02] Hakimba Oakleaf: probably   he is
[11:02] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): lets behave like tourists and take a drink
[11:02] Hakimba Oakleaf: yes
[11:03] Hakimba Oakleaf: i hope they have something like paga
[11:03] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) gets seated and addresses the redhead waitress "2 grappa please, dear Lady, and 2 mineral water for the girls"
[11:03] Hakimba Oakleaf: as the weather is fine we could sit out here
[11:04]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) sighed after noticing something strange about the place then whispered, "That woman is dressed like a Mistress...I wonder if this place is a reenactment or something," she said then moved to the table
[11:04] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sits with his back against the wall, so he has no enemies behind him, he studies the redhead woman and decides she is no slave material, too lain with her orange hair
[11:04] nadi (Nara Zsun): Oh these chairs were not meant for ladies in short skirts grins pulling her knees together tightly
[11:05] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) hears the waitress answer "2 grappa, 2 aqua" and she goes into the tavern
[11:06]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) put her elbows on the table and just could not for the moment figure the oddness of the place. She looked around to see if there were people dressed in regular clothes like them but then thought, "Colonel, may I see if I can get you something to drink?"
[11:07] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): i just ordered the waitress, she works here, don't rob her from her work
[11:09] nadi (Nara Zsun): leans close to escort whispering ...."do we have earth lindens to pay for things here my darling?"
[11:09] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) notices the waitress returns and places the bottles and glasses at the table, the Earth way of serving is quite different. Kutai gives her a back note and says "you can keep the change Signorita when you can tell me where the old church is"
[11:09]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) nodded to him then stared the waitress down, noticing her glares were being returned. She looked at her style of dress and then looked at her own..."Something is strange Colonel..Her clothes are different...,".she said but kept quiet for a moment..."
[11:10] nadi (Nara Zsun): quickly pours the men's glasses with the vino and then pours a glass of water for oria and herself
[11:10] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) has coins from the agents, as he does has identity papers, for the sexy girls could easily be mistaken for Albanian whores, which are mostly illegal in Italy
[11:11] Nara Zsun OOC : click the bottle for a glass to wear and drink
[11:12] nadi (Nara Zsun): sipped the water, finding it refreshing after the trip her mouth was quite parched
[11:12] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) the woman explains the way to the church, after which she returns inside the bar
[11:12]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looks to them all and was not sure if she had been heard so she stood up slowly, "May I say something Colonel?"
[11:13] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "yes, Oria you can"
[11:14] Hakimba Oakleaf takes a glass with some water
[11:15] Hakimba Oakleaf after one sip wonders the water tastes much different and it is red
[11:15] nadi (Nara Zsun): watches as oria stands and sways nervously, waiting for her to speak
[11:16] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): you don't have water Hakimba but grappa, kinda liqor
[11:16]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) whispered in a low enough voice so the waitress would not hear, "Master...something is really wrong about this place....I do not think we are dressed properly here. These people here are dressed so old...I mean, in past century type of clothes. Plus that waitress keeps looking at me as if something is wrong with me. Even the signs on the streets are different from modern stuff....Maybe we could get out of sight so we won't get arrested Colonel...thank you," she said then sat down
[11:16] Hakimba Oakleaf: ahhh   i could get used to this kind of water
[11:17] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "as said, this is a tourist place, that people dress ancient is quite normal for such villages, don't worry, we must not be afraid for some spaghetti eaters"
[11:17] nadi (Nara Zsun): maybe she dresses that way for tourists to make them feel what it was like here a long time ago
[11:18] Hakimba Oakleaf nods  i think so too
[11:18]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) nodded then remained quiet. She looked around the area and sat back into her chair
[11:18] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) drinks his grappa and stands up "we have not all the time, and i don't want give you girls the chance the get nervous and betray our mission by acting afraid and not natural"
[11:18] nadi (Nara Zsun): nods thinking to herself just in case thinks of taking of her painful high heels so she could run with the speed of a tabuk if need be
[11:19] nadi (Nara Zsun): sets her glass down and follows
[11:20] Hakimba Oakleaf: i have heard some people here throw their glasses behind when they are empty   .. so i do it this way
[11:21] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmm one more tavern

[11:22] nadi (Nara Zsun): walks with her lips parted in awe of the structures around her
[11:22] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) follows the way the waitress told him, and after some small climbing roads he arrives at the churches gate
[11:23] Hakimba Oakleaf looks up    this building could be a temple or something similar
[11:23] Eleonora bint Saran (Bellatrix Latour) is offline.
[11:23] nadi (Nara Zsun): are females permitted to enter this building
[11:24] Hakimba Oakleaf: i dont know but there are no guards
[11:24] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) enters the small church
[11:24]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) stayed to the back of the line and looked around while trying to remember each twist and turn of the place
[11:25] nadi (Nara Zsun): gazed wide eyed at all the ornate things and wonders their meaning.
[11:25]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) noticed what appeared to be a coffin and stepped closer and peered over the top to see the face
[11:26] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks at a coffin with a warrior on it

[11:26] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmm the sculpture on this coffin could mean it is for a swordsman
[11:27] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): It says it's Saint Giorgio of Sorrentina
[11:28]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) went down on one knee and then noticed a crest or something below her heels and moved back, "Colonel, there is a crest here too,"
[11:29] Hakimba Oakleaf: the people here seem to like secrets
[11:30] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks at the stone crest and feels something is hidden there
[11:30] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) lets open it
[11:30] Hakimba Oakleaf nods tries to open it
[11:30] nadi (Nara Zsun): oh stands back in fear of what maybe hidden.
[11:31] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmmm nothing happens  it is firmly fixed
[11:31]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked stunned, "Open...it Colonel...?," she looked around slightly nervous hoping they would not get caught
[11:31] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) seeks a quiva and places it under the stone coverage of the crest and presses, he notice the stone moves
[11:32] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) puts more pressure on the opening of the crest and slowly the stone moves aside, showing a small dark crypt below
[11:32] Hakimba Oakleaf: can you get it open Kutai
[11:34] Hakimba Oakleaf putd hid knife inti sthe slit that kutai hasmoved the stone
[11:35] Hakimba Oakleaf: *His knife
[11:35] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) makes uncontrolled sounds for he needs all his strength to push the stone plate aside, at last he manages to get it open so far that sunlight can shine on the contents
[11:35]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) glanced about seeing a orange-ish hue of light hit the walls and believed it was becoming evening time.
[11:35] nadi (Nara Zsun): creeps closer....her curiosity getting the best of her, tries to see the contents of the hidden chamber
[11:36] Hakimba Oakleaf: what do you see  Kutai?
[11:36] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): bones
[11:36] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): old bones
[11:36] nadi (Nara Zsun): oh dear must be someones tomb
[11:36] Hakimba Oakleaf: ohhh only bones or some things like weapons or even a staff?
[11:37]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked down into the opening and got nervous after seeing the bones but also wondered how old they were.
[11:37] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks up and grins evily "yea, what else can it be, it soul must be pleased now it's no longer covered with stone"
[11:38] nadi (Nara Zsun): waits with trembling knees to see if a vapor would appear in a cloud above the tomb, perhaps like a djinn
[11:38] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) puts on some leathered gloves, just in case scorpions or snakes are hidden in the tomb. he looks at Oria and says jokingly "actually you need big tits to become a tomb raider"
[11:39] Hakimba Oakleaf grins   i guess with our special medicin they would not need so many tombs here
[11:39] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) feels a metal rod, and takes it out, its a sword
[11:40]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) moved her hand to touch her forehead but stopped before finishing a catholic hand movement of a 'cross' since she was not sure what kind of church it was but also because slaves were forbidden to pray. Also too, she was not even catholic but felt a need to pay respect to the dead
[11:40] Hakimba Oakleaf: ahhh a sword could be useful  but it is not exactly what we need
[11:41] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sword is a gladius, but a bit bowed "very old, Roman, or even Etruscan, this must be a grave from very ancient times"
[11:42] Hakimba Oakleaf: ohhh no wonder the bones were covered with such a lot of dust
[11:42] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) puts the sword in a rep cloth sack he has taken with him for just such occasion
[11:42] nadi (Nara Zsun): was the owner a Roman saint Colonel?
[11:43] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): I doubt they have Saints at the Roman, apart from the ones who got a dead by torture, like Saint Laurence, who was barbecued above an iron grid and hot coals
[11:44] nadi (Nara Zsun): OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[11:45] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): or Saint Sebastian, an officer who was so pierced with arrows that he looked like a porcupine
[11:48] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) searces further and feels a long metal rod, he carefull takes it out, it looks like a spear but then he sees the circular ornaments at the end "GOTCHA"
[11:48] nadi (Nara Zsun): oh smiles seeing how elated the colonel was claps her hands in glee
[11:49]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) watched as the sword was put away and hoped the warrior would still be able to protect himself in the afterlife without it.
[11:49] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) slaps the lance at the floor to clean it and when the dust is off, he sees shining gold
[11:50] Hakimba Oakleaf is trembling with exitement   ist such a staff as you need Kutai?
[11:51]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) smiled since the Haruspex was able to find the staff but also saddened since she hoped to come back to Earth, but would need to find another way to get back here
[11:51] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) rubs the staff clean and studies the circular ornaments "it's a larl"
[11:52] nadi (Nara Zsun): oh watches and wonders what the larl would represent on a holy staff of a initiate
[11:53] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmm maybe it is from times when people here and on gor knew from each other
[11:54] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): well, maybe it's another catlike predator
[11:54] Hakimba Oakleaf: do you hink this staff will be the right one?
[11:55] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): And mind the Etruscan and Romans haruspices often were fighting men too, their greatest Ubar Julius Caesar was even a Pontifex which means High Priest (Pope in Latin is pontifex also))
[11:56] nadi (Nara Zsun): aahhhh nods listening
[11:57] Hakimba Oakleaf nods pretending he would know about what Kutai has said
[11:57]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) remembered learning about Julius Caesar when in school, but also about his sad end. She moved forward to take a look at the staff
[11:57] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): this is a good staff for me, i feel the power, but I must purify it from millenia negative influences from this church which is for a religion based on love, a religion to far from us Tuchuk and Kataii, however the staff does not radiate love but strength, I guess this priest was a warrior, not a Christian man at all"
[11:58] Hakimba Oakleaf: i think we should hurry to leave from here before someone will notice us with this staff
[11:58] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yes good idea
[11:58] Hakimba Oakleaf: we should avoid to get in trouble
[11:59] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) covers the staff with a blanket and shoves the stone plate again over the grave "girls clean this marbles floor of all traces"
[11:59]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked down at the crest, "Colonel, should that be put back in place so it won't look disturbed
[11:59]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident): "Yes Colonel"
[11:59] Hakimba Oakleaf smiles luckily cleaning is the chore of women here aswell as on gor
[12:00] nadi (Nara Zsun): Yes colonel....kneels down with her hands begins to push the dust and remains left on the ground into the open tomb
[12:00] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): hmm, in some countires they use former Nomads for cleaning work (Turks)
[12:00]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) moved down to clean the floor with a rag. She took up loose marble and dirt inside of it.
[12:01] nadi (Nara Zsun): shudders moving closer behind her Master hearing the bells start to toll
[12:01] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): lets go back to our ship
[12:02]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) stood back up and placed the rag into her bag so that she would have a piece of Earth with her.
[12:03] Hakimba Oakleaf: yes   puts his most innocent face on

La Perla

[11:07]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) smiled as she held on to her back pack and stepped from their transport into the city. "Greetings...Colonel," she said to him
[11:09] Eleonora bint Saran (Bellatrix Latour) is offline.
[11:10]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) giggles and smiles to nadi after giving her a hug then said, "Too bad my Mas...I mean the other colonel was not feeling to well and decided to rest on the ship...I mean in the hotel," she chuckled at her inability to speak in code.
[11:10] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): this is another Tuscan village, i don't know what we can find her, i must check the map
[11:10] nadi (Nara Zsun): hello Captain......smiles waving at oria
[11:11] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): colonel
[11:11] nadi (Nara Zsun): gulps nodding...yes Colonel
[11:11] nadi (Nara Zsun): forgive my ignorance please
[11:12] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): according my knwledge of fortified cities, and according the map from Prao, i guess most people live on this rocky hill, which steep sides protect against raiding pirates from the Tyrhenian sea
[11:14] nadi (Nara Zsun): nods following the colonel
[11:14] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks at the statues of peeing kajiri "I already said this Earth people are degenerated"
[11:14] nadi (Nara Zsun): OOO smiles
[11:15] nadi (Nara Zsun): oh what a beautiful view. this earth place is breathtaking
[11:15] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): it has indeed a nice view
[11:16]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) turned to look around at the city area, the nice fountain, and a waterfall to her side. As they moved over the bridge she peered in the river under it, spotting some fish. After hiking up the side hill of stairs they came to a balcony overlooking the sea.
[11:16] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): the sea here has a special color, much different then the Thassa
[11:17] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) studies the round shape of the terace "I think thi is the fundament of a former round watch tower"
[11:17]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) reached into her bag and pulled out some bosk jerky then offered some to the Haruspex and nadi, "WOuld you like some Colonel and nadi?"
[11:17] nadi (Nara Zsun): yes it is but the smell of the salt water is the same Colonel
[11:18] nadi (Nara Zsun): oh smiles no thank you oria....I just had my breakfast gruel
[11:18] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) taes the bosk jerky, and tears of a piece with his teeth
[11:19] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): a church again
[11:19] nadi (Nara Zsun): oh this looks like a catherdral?
[11:20] Hakimba Oakleaf is online.
[11:20] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): quite small for a cathedral, but in fact a cathedral is determined by the Pope, my colleague on Earth

[11:20]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) was so full of joy to be back on Earth again, "People on Earth have very intricate histories Master and have learned many things," she smiled and munched on a piece of jerky while looking at the church
[11:22]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident): ...I mean Colonel.....
[11:22] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): so how old are such histories?
[11:22] nadi (Nara Zsun): listens with interest
[11:23]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) placed a finger to her head as she stared up at the white clouds to try and guess...."I think...umm many many centuries Master but I can't be sure," she said and wished she had not flunked high school history
[11:23] Hakimba Oakleaf: Hello .. sorry i am overdressed
[11:24]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident): ...oops...I mean Colonel....
[11:24] nadi (Nara Zsun): smiles seeing him leave the ship and run to catch up with the group
[11:24] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yes, its summer here, but evening, and on the sea, so one could get a cold
[11:25]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked to the man who just arrived, "Hello ...Mas...umm Sir, nice of you to join us..,"
[11:25] Hakimba Oakleaf nods hugs his girl
[11:25] nadi (Nara Zsun): hugs smiling .
[11:26] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) inspects the building, in acase spies are following them
[11:26] nadi (Nara Zsun): smiles and moves on with the tour
[11:26]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) glanced around and wished there was a telephone booth some where. She checked near the church and then now the other buildings discretely.
[11:27] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): here is a big cave like underground cellar, i go check it
[11:29] nadi (Nara Zsun): follows the colonel down the rickety ladder....into a dungeon like place...with tombstones and strange creatures guarding them
[11:29] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): /m sees the slaves have followed "are you girls deaf, i said i go check, if a danger was here, we al three had been dead"
[11:29]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) shivered after descending into the dark cellar structure then moved near the Haruspex and nadi for warmth. "Oh I did not hear that Colonel my apologizes"
[11:30] Hakimba Oakleaf: i hope these old boards will not break
[11:30] nadi (Nara Zsun): nor did I oria....the command must have been given out of earshot....but we are now here...
[11:30] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "not hearing is no excuse for a slave, if you become deaf seek a physician"
[11:31] nadi (Nara Zsun): yes colonel....wonders if there are greens on earth
[11:31] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): this is a graveyard, here lies John Stitch
[11:31]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) remained quiet then looked around, wishing she could find a phone. She instead checked around for dangers as told.
[11:32] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) walks up the ladder and sighs relieved it did hold the four of them

[11:32] nadi (Nara Zsun): walks the ledge ever so carefully and follows the colonel out the partially opened doors
[11:32] Hakimba Oakleaf: i just was afraid we would be trapped
[11:34] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmm these benches are not really comfortable
[11:34] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): this is a small renovated church, i doubt we will find what we seek here
[11:34] nadi (Nara Zsun): Looks around in awe of the interior of the room.
[11:34]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) sat on the stool after the enter the church then played on the piano.."Woah, I have not seen one of these in such a long time," she giggled.
[11:35] nadi (Nara Zsun): It appears they hold rituals here
[11:35] Hakimba Oakleaf nods i think it is not old enough
[11:35] Door: Hakimba Oakleaf is at the door.
[11:36] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): the shepherd on this stained glass window wears a staff
[11:36] nadi (Nara Zsun): do you know how to play a pipe organ oria...I have read of such things used on this planet. this must be one.
[11:36] nadi (Nara Zsun): turns hearing the words of the colonel. Perhaps the staff you seek in hidden close by. We must decipher the clues
[11:36] Hakimba Oakleaf: aaahh yes i see
[11:37]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) shook her head then smiled to nadi as she let her fingers run wild over the keys, "No nadi I have no idea, but it feels so good to touch Earth stuff again,"
[11:37] Scarlet (Gia Foxtrot) is offline.
[11:37] Hakimba Oakleaf: maybe they have hidden such a staff somewhere
[11:37] nadi (Nara Zsun): smiles at oria seeing the excitement written across her delicate face
[11:37] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): it suggest the staff would be at shepherds, that means we seek at the worng place, or it;s a staff to steer sheep, not read birds
[11:38]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) leaned down the kissed the area of the piano and stood wishing she could take a piece with her.
[11:38] Hakimba Oakleaf looks around if there is a hidden door or a spot at the floor which could cover a hiding place
[11:39] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): don;t seek here
[11:39] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): it must be in the fields
[11:39] Hakimba Oakleaf nods there was nothing to find
[11:39] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): near sheep, also poor rocky ground
[11:41]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) moved up near the Haruspex, "Umm..may I look around the city for a little while...Colonel?"
[11:41] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): we must leave the village to the pastures
[11:41] Hakimba Oakleaf nods  it would be difficult to hide something here
[11:41] 丂tack丂 ραηтнαя ⓈouℓⓈtaя (ScrewFace Rugani) is offline.
[11:41] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): no you must stay with us, i know you wanna run away
[11:42] Morgana Rain is online.
[11:43]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) shook her head, "Master, but I promise I was not going to try and run away..Was not in my mind, was just curious to see if they had something I was looking for"
[11:44] nadi (Nara Zsun): looks at oria smiling...knowing that her heart must be so filled just to see and smell her previous life

[11:44] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "a slave has nothing to look for then pleasing her master" he studies the ruins of an ancient village "I wonder if these are Etruscan"
[11:45]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) remained quiet for a while since her speak was too bold at the moment. She looked at the sandy beach feeling happy to see it. Reaching down she scooped up some of the sand and put it into her pocket.
[11:45] Hakimba Oakleaf shrugs   with this question i cant help
[11:46] nadi (Nara Zsun): studies the fallen stones...and the remains of what must have been a rather large building at one time. Her curiosity showing on her face as she eyed the area
[11:46] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sees that the slave picks up Eath and Grass, but he ignores it, such is an innocent gesture"
[11:47] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): i sense things are hiidden here, maybe ancient ritual objects
[11:47] Hakimba Oakleaf looks around  sighs   if there is no magic sign it will be very difficult to dig at the right spot to find an etruscian staff
[11:48]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) inhaled the air then moved closer to get a better look of the sea. She tilted her head back to let the sun hit her face. "This is heaven," she spoke in a low voice to herself.
[11:48] nadi (Nara Zsun): walks along the wall of huge stones looking for something amiss that might help the colonel in his search.
[11:49] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): ye, you are right Hakimba, archeologist's must have searched here often, i sense there is something not found, but it will take ages for us to dig and find, even with my considerable spiritual powers
[11:50] Hakimba Oakleaf nods probably it depends how deep in the ground it is hidden
[11:51] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): i fear deep
[11:51] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): probably these ruins are Roman, with Etrustcan stones below
[11:52]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) spotted something buried in the sand and bent to dig at it with her hands. She listened to the Master's speaking on things as she slide the object into her pocket for safe keeping.
[11:52] Hakimba Oakleaf: ahh yes  probably they are more than a thousand years old
[11:52] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Older
[11:53] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): But not as old as Ar which is 11000 yeasr old
[11:53] Hakimba Oakleaf: ohhh even older a Thousand
[11:54] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): well, lets go back to the space ship
[11:54]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) smiled then walked over to latch arms with nadi as the ruins were admired.

[11:58] Hakimba Oakleaf: i must admit  they know to make nice place on earth  the houses doesnt look such like jails like in the gorean cities
[11:59] nadi (Nara Zsun): looks at the strange metal horse on a stand wondering if this was something earth people worship or use for travel
[11:59] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): are you becoming weak, and cobnfess you like a city?
[11:59] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): girls bring me someting to drinl
[11:59] Hakimba Oakleaf shakes his head  not really  but for a few days i could enjoy to stay here
[11:59]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) walked over to the table, "What would you like to drink Colonel? There is probably some soda in there and maybe coffee as well"
[11:59] nadi (Nara Zsun): nods looking around yes Colonel turns moving to the building for something the men might enjoy
[12:00] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): there is a refrigerator there, probably it will contain some cold liquor
[12:00]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident): Yes Colonel," she smiled then walked over to the place
[12:01]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) whispers: Oh, do you have money Colonel, it would need to be paid for I think?
[12:01] nadi (Nara Zsun): looks at the red chill box. wondering if it contained some beverage the Males might enjoy
[12:01] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) trhows her some euro
[12:01] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): if it's not enough try bribe him with a blowjob, these Italians are a horny lot
[12:01]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) catches the thrown money in her hands and walks to buy a drink
[12:02] Hakimba Oakleaf chuckles
[12:03]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) walked into the shop and pinched nadi in the side and giggled. "Needs some help with anything. I am knowledge of place here (meaning Earth)
[12:03] nadi (Nara Zsun): smiles at the man behind the counter. May we purchase a drink for the males outside? Smiles as he says yes I have just the drink. watches as he takes two glasses and pours a brown liquid into the bottom and then adds yet another liquid...
[12:04] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): a drink with ALCOHOL in it "he yells after the girls
[12:04] Hakimba Oakleaf smiles  do you think italians would drink anything without alcohol?
[12:05] nadi (Nara Zsun): Please pay the man oria....takes the drinks and walks back to the Master
[12:05]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked at the man as he poured the drink then noticed a phone near him. She stood there for a while as she tried to think of what to say, but then gave the man some of the Euro.
[12:06] nadi (Nara Zsun): smiles the man behind the counter said you would enjoy this drink of Jack and coke sirs....sets the drinks on the table before them
[12:06] Jack & Coke whispers: Jack Daniels and Coke ... minus the coke
[12:07] Hakimba Oakleaf: thank you nadi  takes the drink and takes a first little sip
[12:07] nadi (Nara Zsun): May I sit with you gentlemen smiles
[12:07] Jack & Coke whispers: Jack Daniels and Coke ... minus the coke
[12:08] Hakimba Oakleaf: hmmm i could get used to this  drinks a bigger sip
[12:08]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) gulped as nadi moved to the table then she looked back at the man and then the phone. She whispered low to him, "Excuse me, does that phone get international too?" after he told her that it did she felt her pulse race. She then looked back at the Haruspex and then back to the man..."Umm, I will be right back..," she smiled and went to serve the drink
[12:09] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) looks at Oria and reaches his hand out
[12:09] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): "what kinda drink is this?"
[12:10] nadi (Nara Zsun): not so sure Colonel the man behind the counter suggested you would enjoy this earth drink
[12:10]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) placed the beverage in his hands, "I hope you enjoy this Colonel it is an alcoholic beverage," she smiled as she had given up on liquor things
[12:10] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) takes it from her hand, and inhales the scent, it smell strange but it contains alcohol so he drinks it
[12:11] Hakimba Oakleaf empties his glass.. hmm it looks like this is a strong stuff
[12:11]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) snapped her fingers.."Oh I did not bring a napkin. I will be right back Colonel," she smiled to him and rushed back into the shop
[12:12] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): it des strange taste, a bit sweet, but not bad

Purification

[10:53]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) shouts: The slave took down the water filled bowl of clay and then poured some of it out. She pressed her fingers into the clay and smiled since it was still very moist.
[[10:54] nadi (Nara Zsun): looks up wide eyed at the huge staff the Haruspex holds and wonders if it will be the magic he hopes for
[10:55] nadi (Nara Zsun): greetings oria....smiles...at the girl ....have you been dancing for you master....strokes her soft silks
[10:55]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) knelt down with bowl in hand and looked around, "Greetings Masters and lovely nadi," she said while looking to see where her Master went.
[10:56] Hakimba Oakleaf: so you will initiate the staff now?
[10:56] nadi (Nara Zsun): notices oria's confusion having lost her Master....and points to the wagon winking at her
[10:57]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) held up the bowl of clay to show, "It is well moist Master and will be good for the staff"
[10:58] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) nods satisfied
[10:58] nadi (Nara Zsun): My Master ....may this one place the wood she has gathered in the pile by the central fire.
[10:59]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) glanced over and winked to nadi and was happy to see her.
[10:59] Hakimba Oakleaf nods  yes nadi do so  you dont need to carry it always with you
[10:59] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): well, lets go to the altar
[10:59] nadi (Nara Zsun): thank you My Master
[11:03]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) kissed her Masters hand before walking near the Haruspex and knelt holding up the bowl of clay.
[11:04] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov) sees the old Ubar of the Kataii coming over the plains, his kajira running far behind him "we wait a moment at our honorable guest"
[11:05] nadi (Nara Zsun): stretches her body up to try and peer over the altar to see the honored guest approach.
[11:05] Hakimba Oakleaf nods ...
[11:06]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked at the large golden looking staff curiously and could not believe she would be allowed to rub it with clay. Her hands trembled slightly to bestowed such an honor.
[11:06] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Tal Roc
[11:07] Roc (Roc Furse) nodded. "Tal, Free. Greetings, kajirae."
[11:07] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): watches those that are approaching smiling to see who it is. Tal Roc
[11:07] Roc (Roc Furse) gestured to his side. "Please meet my mate Kamara."
[11:07] Hakimba Oakleaf: Tal Roc
[11:07] nadi (Nara Zsun): leans around her Master smiling Tal Master
[11:08] nadi (Nara Zsun): Tal Mistress
[11:08] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Tal Lady Kamara
[11:08] KoriFalda Resident: greetings
[11:08] KoriFalda Resident: sky blessings "
[11:08] Hakimba Oakleaf: greetings Lady Kamara  my name is hakimba
[11:08] Roc (Roc Furse) inclined his head. "My mate, you know Scholar. Meet Hakimba of the Omen Valley camp and Kutai their Haruspex."
[11:08]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looked over at her Master and made sure her body was poised correctly to please his viewing. She also observed his attire and boots to think of how she would need to clean them once he was finished wearing the attire.
[11:08] KoriFalda Resident: tis an honor "

[11:09] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Kutai studies the augur ceremonial staff, the long pole with the circular ornaments at the end. The staff is a bit rusted and is covered with crusts of dirt, the dust of ages, the earth of the grave in which it was found, the life blood of it's last bearer a warrior like priest of unknown, but probably Roman or Etruscan heritage. The haruspex beats the top of the staff at the monolithic rock of the altar in front of him, like Conan cleaning his sword on the grave of the ancient warrior kings, and sees that most crusted rust and dirt is removed by his ramming te rod on the stone.
[11:10] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): good to see again lady Kamara... he whispered
[11:11] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): He asks the kajira kneeling half behind him for a rep-cloth and some polishing oil. He rubs the rep-cloth over the staff and sees that most dirt is removed by ot. He gives the staff and cloth to the girl and orders "clean it wench, and harta, the people are waiting". He watches the woman doing her work, he is not worried about her hands are poluting the holy rod, after all his own rod functions perfectly under the fingers of a kajira, but he also knows, as if such were the case, that a minor slave would diminish the power of the stall, her sweat and skin remnants on it as well as her spiritual pollution will be removed any way in the purging process ahead.
[11:12] KoriFalda Resident: "tis good to see you also scholar " a light smile would cover her lips for a moment befor she would look to her mate , " i hope you are in good spirits "
[11:13]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) took hold of the staff and stared at it as she gulped. It was an honor and she took the cloth, placing some clay on it then lightly began to rub it
[11:13] Roc (Roc Furse) grins and whispers "How could I not when travelling with you?"
[11:13] nadi (Nara Zsun): creeps up closer to her Master's boot trying to watch the Haruspex work his magic on the staff.
[11:15] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): While the girl is polishing the staff Kutai, takes a fire brazier and fills it with black coals ((not sure if there is black-coal on Gor, after all, such fuel is developed in the Carboniferous period, whats in a name, some 400 million years old, and the planet of Gor is much younger)). He stabs the fire in the coals and makes sure the fire gets high flames, but does not raises to hot in temperature for not melting the staff, for in that case his voyage to Earth would have been in vain.
[11:15]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) watched the gold sparkle reveal itself beneath the cloth. She placed the cloth with a small clump of clay between the twirly parts and then the long rode portion. "It is beautiful," she said in awe and continued to rub it until it was completely golden
[11:17] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Kutai sees that the staff shines a yellow-golden glow, as he suspected the augur rod is made of gold, which explains partly its resistance against decease through the ages. He explains the rust crusts to some pollutions with iron from the gold, not all ancient Etruscan metal workers had the skill of the Goreans. He waits till kajira has finished her work.
[11:17] Hakimba Oakleaf follows curiously the preparations
[11:18]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) held the staff then giggled as it was so pretty and then handed it to the Haruspex, "I it is completed Master"
[11:18] Roc (Roc Furse) scratches his scars, watching Kutai and the kajira work. "That probably won't be the last staff he'll ask her to polish today!" he whispers to Kamara.
[11:19] KoriFalda Resident: would shake her head nudging her mate befor she would respond " if so i envy her at least she getting to "
[11:19] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): The priest takes away the staff from the kajira and looks again at the golden staff, he holds it so that the shiny sun shines in it and its beams radiate sharp into the eyes of the spectators. Satisfied for the cleaning work of the woman he moves the staff to the fire. he speaks some ancient spells, to help the fire, to clean the rod of spiritual pollutions, specially these of cowardly priests who might have handle the staff in the past. Priests not fit to be a warrior, their sweaty stress hands had put their DNA on the staff, and it must be cleaned of all non Nomadic genes.
[11:20]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) held the bowl of clay and quietly moved back to the boot of her Master so that Haruspex could work on the ceremony.
[11:20] Şƈhσℓᾀr Şαηкᾀrα (Scholar Kytori): watches silently in amazement at the ceremony.
[11:21]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) moved to his left and snuggles his leg as she watches with him the events. After feeling a breeze she shivered just a little.
[11:22] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): Kutai takes a jar with bosk-fat, he smears the fat over the complete staff, making sure a thick layer is covering every spot. He uses bosk fat for the spirit of the holy bosk strengthens the purification fire, and dissolves the bad influences of disbelievers more thoroughly. He then lowers the staff and moves it through the fire, speaking out some purgatory spell "regne terrae, cantate Caelum. Caeli Caalum, Caelum terrae. Humuliter majesstati gloriae tuae supplicamus, Ut ab omin infernalium spirituum potestate" Kutai has the spell adapted from some ancient scroll, he does not know the exact meaning nor the pronunciation of the words but for the effect on the surrounding public, the spell is very useful.
[11:23] nadi (Nara Zsun): sits up straighter hearing the chanting of the Haruspex. Her pouty lips part in awe of the spell he weaves to cleanse the staff for his desired use.
[11:23] Hakimba Oakleaf is impressed by the ancient words.. probably they will be a mighty spell
[11:24]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) looks up to her Master confused by some of what was being said as if asking him with her gray eyes, but then looks back down and quiets, resting her head to his thigh

11:25] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): The fire lights up high around the staff, also caused by the burning effect of the bosk fat "evil spirits GO!" the hariupex says, and he throws unseen a howling fire cracker in the hot coals. The howling scream of the cracker sounds like a cry of a banshee out of hell and the priest reacts by saying "Yes, thou evil one, GO GO GO!". After that the haruspex pulls the staff away from the fire and shows it to the public present by holding it high. He then cools the staff in a ice water tub, the steam of the hot gold enveloping him, showing him with an halo of vaporising water, like a demon coming out of the fog.
[11:29]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) glanced about after hearing about 'evil spirits' and almost expected to see some ghosts. She watched as her Master went to rest in the wagon
[11:29] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): The haruspex now takes a bota of paga from his shoulder and let de pleasure fluid flow over the entire staff. The paga must chase away all remaining negative influences from the golden rod.. He again let de staff go through the fiery coals and the paga lights high up through the effect of the highly inflammable alcohol in it. This is the last stage of the purging. He takes the staff and holds it high again "Outriders, lets pray to the Sky" He looks at the heaven and talks to the Sky like as if he talks to the Ubar of his tribe. His request to pray is only ment for the outriders present for it is forbidden to pray for females of all status, even for the highly praised free women.
[11:30] Hakimba Oakleaf follows the eyes of the haruspex and looks into the sky
[11:31]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) shivered then scooted near nadi to be close by and watch what was happening.
[11:32] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): As a last ceremony the haruspex makes a small cut in a finger with a sacramental quiva. He drops the pure warrior blood at the jaws of the lion in the circle of the staff "the prairie larl must be feed with the blood of the brave, only that is worthy enough. He holds the staff high again and it seems that the encircled larl just has feasted on prey. In the far distance a roar of of unearthy activity within the nearby volcano shows the approval of the predator face of the Open Sky. The God of the Wagon people who favorices the brave and mighty. "NO MERCY for the unworthy".
[11:32] nadi (Nara Zsun): looks up to the skies almost expecting a sudden burst of thunder or lightening with the Haruspex's words
[11:33]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) cringed as she saw the Master cut himself and thought to go and bandage the wound but stayed put as she listened

[11:36] nadi (Nara Zsun): smiles over her shoulder to the beautiful Mistress then lowers her eyes in respect
[11:36] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): The priest now walks to the area where many vulo nests are situated. He studies the sky, and looks at the flight of the birds. He then holds the staff high, and looks through the augural rod to the animals. He then turns around and addresses the people who have followed him. "I notice the staff already helps me, even that I must study and study to learn to use it well". He hesitates then continues "the bird omen says that Winter is coming soon, soon we will have first snow, the start of our New Year. I advice all to check their winter storage and refill what is missing for once it starts snowing, once thats happens, it's too late for storage building" He does not need the staff for that omen, for he saw that most birds were flying North, away from the winter blizzards in the South as they do each year in this season.
[11:37]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) watched as the Haruspex strolled across the plains to where it all seemed to have began some months ago with the bird and their flight patterns. So much had happened since then; the trips to Earth, seeing a transport ship, the gathering of the staff, the search for knowledge on the staffs origins, and oh not to forget those scary Master Holy Ones.....
[11:39] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): this is the end of the ceremony, lets have some drinks now, i am thirsty
[11:40]  Őℜİﾑ (0Subira Resident) stayed close near the Haruspex just in case he needed her assistance. Looking down to the bowl of clay she pondered what else to use it for, but then turned her attention back to the Haruspex
[11:40] Hakimba Oakleaf takes a deep breathe of fresh air... this was impressing
[11:41] Kutai (Kutaituchik Kroitschov): yea but you heard, Winter is coming
[11:41] nadi (Nara Zsun): gasps remembering to breath having held her breath at the ceremony....the awe remains in her twinkling eyes and across her slightly blushing face. Shivers hearing that winter is soon upon us and thinks of all the chores for supplies that still needs to be done
