	Kuros: A few stalls are empty		Kuros: A few stalls are empty

			Lei_Zu looks around for someone tending to the horses

			Kuros: You find a stall with fresh hay and feed, but no horse.

			Kuros: And there is no one tending the horses.

			Lei_Zu: Walking slowly but confidently as if his presence is nothing out of the ordinary Lei Zu approaches the door from the stables to the post building and enters.

			Kuros: The door opens into a small room. Across one wall are square cubbies with rolls of paper sticking out of various ones. In the back of the room, there is a wooden table covered with even more papers. Behind that is a large, portly man looking over a piece of paper.

			Kuros: He's dressed in a uniform, and apparently knows how to read and write.

			Kuros: And he is older, late fifties.

			Kuros: He looks up as the door opens, and a flicker of annoyance crosses his face.

			Lei_Zu: As he gets up Lei Zu clears his throat, calling attention to himself.

			Kuros: The man whirls to face you. "Wh-- What-- Who are you?"

			Lei_Zu makes a confused face. "Who, me? I'm Bley. Sorry to have startled you."

			Lei_Zu: "Who are you?" The question immediately follows his previous statement as to keep the man off balance.

			Kuros: He goes back to his desk, settling himself into his chair. "I'm the postmaster, boy. What business do you have here?"

			Lei_Zu: "Oh, good. Did you already send the rider to Lanterntown?"

			Kuros: He narrows his eyes. "Official communications are not your business. Now be off with you, unless you have some business!"

			Lei_Zu: "Oh. I just thought, I could send a message with the same rider and it might be cheaper that way. But if he's already left ..."

			Kuros: "I can get your message there by tommorow night, if you need it."

			Kuros: "Won't be cheap, though."

			Kuros: He squints at you.

			Lei_Zu: After waiting a moment to see the mans reaction Lei Zu bows slightly. "Sorry to have wasted your time then. No way I can afford that." His voice is a little sad.

			Kuros: He grunts, and goes back to reading his papers.

			Lei_Zu leaves the building, leaves the village, goes to rendesvouz with his agata

			Lei_Zu: He then commands it to fly along the road leading to Lanterntown, looking to catch up with the rider. Going by air he should be able to catch up with him.

			Kuros: The bug takes off, and heads north. Even at night, the road is relatively busy, but you do see a rider galloping north.

			Lei_Zu: (does he have a post uniform, too? how many villages are there between this one and Lanterntown? how far away is the next one and could the rider reach the next one?)

			Kuros: (You can't tell about his uniform from this far up. 1 village. The next one is about 20 miles away. Yes, he can reach it.)

			Lei_Zu: turns his clothes night black and makes sure his face is well covered. "The hard way then," he sighs.

walks the perimeter of the disturbed grave area looking for tracks of a potential necromancer

Alyssa: Alyssa examines one of the holes

Caran: "So, what is this about the Wyld Hunt?"

: Kuros has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).

Lei_Zu: "After you left for Northeast Spoke one turned up at the village near the tomb."

Caran: "Did you see who was leading it?"

Lei_Zu: "One old Water Aspect, a younger Fire Aspect and one Dragonblooded of unknown aspect. We left instead of waiting for their reinforcements to arrive, so we don't know how many more there are."

: Casteen has joined #exalted.

Caran: winces at the word reinforcments

Lei_Zu: "They might only have been talking about mortal troops, but we can't be sure."

Alyssa: "And not a risk that I care to take. How are your own soldiers, Caran?"

Caran: "I don't no. The bug caught up to me before I made it to Spoke, and I thought coming straight here was the best course."

: Casteen has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).

: Kuros has joined #exalted.

: Mode change "+o Kuros" for channel #exalted by ChanServ.

: Kuros has signed off IRC (Exit: ).

Alyssa: "All things considered, your presence might make all the difference," Alyssa says. "Necromancy isn't all that widespread, not on this scale. It's unlikely we're dealing with less than a deathknight."

Lei_Zu: "The question is, what is that Deathknight trying to achieve here?"

Alyssa: "When we find her - or him - we shall find out, I think."

Caran: "Deathknight you say. And a Wyld Hunt on our tail as well?" Caran smiles. "Certainly not a boring life we lead."

Alyssa: "No, that it is not."

Lei_Zu: "So it seems. I must say, I could do without the complication of the Wyld Hunt. The time for that confrontation has not yet come."

Lei_Zu: (damn DB kids on my lawn, interrupting my breakfast!)

Alyssa: "No. But that time is coming. One way or another."

Lei_Zu: nods. "It is inevitable. And the Wyld Hunt is only the beginning of course."

Alyssa: "Yes. Thankfully, the Realm does not seem inclined to send out armies for the moment. Otherwise, there could be a hundred river barges on the river and a Wing of Imperial soldiers enjoying my wine cellar."

Lei_Zu: "In time the Realm as whole will come to object to our presence, plans and achievements."

Lei_Zu: "But that is still some time in the future."

Caran: "Truthfully, I await the day we can stand and face the Hunt on our terms."

Alyssa: "Yes. The trappings of power: armies, followers... these aren't things we had in the past to bolster our egos. We need them as much as they need us."

Lei_Zu: "It's not so much the question whether we can as it is whether that would be to our advantage, I'd say."

Lei_Zu: "A destroyed hunt confirms our presence, leaves witnesses unless we kill every single shikari and proves that we are a grave threat. As long as we avoid a direct confrontation their resources will be drained and further action delayed."

Lei_Zu: "Of course this has to be weighed against the disruption to our plans they represent. But for the moment I don't think we stand to gain from a battle."

Alyssa: "Oh now, certainly. They would gladly lose every member of a Hunt just to kill one of us. We would be the losers if they manage that."

Alyssa: "At some point, however, to be able to throw them back would make a very clear statement to potential allies that we are a power worthy of their attention. And a warning to the Realm that we are not hunted any more, we are hunters."

Caran: "You both say true. Still, I still long to see them all broken and powerless."

Alyssa: "That day will come. I hope though, that it is not also the day that the Demons or the Dead are triumphant."

Lei_Zu: "There is no place for the Dead in the new world order if they are all as enarmored with senseless violence as the Mistress or whoever did this."

Lei_Zu: "If that proves to be the case, they are merely another in the long list of obstacles and adversaries to overcome."

Alyssa: (like Kuros' internet connection)

Lei_Zu: (as long as it merely damaged and hasn't tried to become one with the Void ...)
