− | ==Addendum - Meanwhile on the way back to Northeast Spoke==
| |
− | Kuros: After the group finished in the Tomb, you decided to head back to Northeast Spoke to gather your men. The rest of the group had said they were headed northwest.
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: You are three days on the road to NE Spoke, and it is late afternoon. This part of the road is empty, and you haven't seen another traveler for days.
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: You hear a faint buzzing, and notice a black dot approaching from out of the sun.
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran looks at the object quizzically
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: The buzzing gets louder, and the size of the dot increases, as it heads toward you. It quickly resolves into the shape of a giant wasp, longer than you are tall.
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran finds this a little less pleasant than he was expecting
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: It is a deep, irridescent black with shimmering wings.
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran watches the bug closely, waiting to respond to any attack
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: It circles once more, and lands ten feet away from you, its wings kicking up little clouds of dust.
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran stands warily, waiting for it to act.
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: It cocks its head, its mandibles opening and closing. "You are Caran?" Its voice sounds like tinny bells.
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran: "Yes. Who is asking?"
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: "I serve your companion, Son of the Metal Flame."
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: "I am to tell you that they are journeying to his home, to the Northwest."
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran frowns. "Why?"
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: "He did not say. I am to take you to them, if you wish."
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran: "Can you carry me?"
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: "Of course."
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran looks of a ways. "How far away is this place?"
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: It lifts severeal of its spindly legs restlessly. "It is there."
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: It points with one leg towards the northwest.
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran sighs
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran: (How far from Spoke am I still)
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: (2 or 3 days)
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: "I can take you elsewhere, if you wish."
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: "I am to serve you."
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran: "Well, I should gather the men, "caran talks to himself, "but if Son sent this thing to me it must be important. And it will take who knows how long to march the men back here"
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran looks to the bug. "You will carry me to were I am to Son's home."
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: It dips its head, its mandibles clicking. "Of course."
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran thinks "the Claw's can manage by themselves for a bit longer
| |
− |
| |
− | Caran: Slowy Caran will approach the insect and sit upon it.
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: Its shiny carapace is perfectly smooth, and somewhat slick, but there are a few places where it is relatively easy to sit steadily.
| |
− |
| |
− | Kuros: With a sharp buzz, it leaps into the air with a lurch, and darts off to the northwest.
