In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 525):

Saishi will cover the wagon with the tarpaulin. He was still getting used to talking breakfast...

In reply to Saishi Jin (msg # 526):

with the star metal and proto-shoggoth stowed in the wagon, the Catkin wagoneer gets the oxen moving.

You head northward toward the city of the Omo.

In reply to Miko (msg # 527):

Saishi will travel with them, watching out as his dog trots along beside him.

As they travel, Ales spends the time bonding with his strange new pet.

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 529):

"tellikelli!! e telli ke li"

In reply to Rice porridge (msg # 530):


The road back is nearly uneventful as you pass through the woods onto the edge of the farmlands...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 531):

Nearly uneventful?

Chye slings his Shamisen.

"It might be prudent, Senyors...If we sent a messenger to the Omo, before we take it inside the city."
Iskander suggested.

travelling with three weirdness magnets is never uneventful.

as you leave the forrest, the leaves fall off the trees and form a massive rune on the ground in Eldritch characters...



[private to Chou-Zen Mou: we have been trying to reach you about your extended warranty...]

In reply to Narrator (msg # 535):

Lol, does Saishi recognize the characters?

"Now even the trees would write in my father's tongue."  He reads the runes, silently to himself.

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 537):

Once past the rune, the leaves follow you on the wind and reform in front of you...

"If anyone knows what this says, they should speak up...."

"Can you read it, little Tiki?"

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 540):

I do not know if it is known. What would I roll against?

At this request, Chou-Zhen will translate the leaf-runes for the group.

OOC: Native speaking and reading Eldritch.

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 542):

We have been trying to reach you about your extended Warranty..."

In reply to Narrator (msg # 543):

"Did somebody buy something from something out of this world?"

"Chye no buy, and no wierdo, either." *guffaw*

"I cannot explain this, I merely read the runes."

"Well, whoever they are, they have our attention..."

In reply to Iskander (msg # 547):

the leaves blow back to the trees, although not the right trees...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 548):

"I can't help wonder if it is about the living porridge..."

What would I even roll to see what message the leaves returning to the wrong trees was trying to send?

"Maybe the celestial bureaucracy is extending warranty on congee!, and Chye gladly pay them tuesday for a Banh Mi today.."
