Re: Hook line and sinker.

in David Scott's post on BRP about 'Ecology in the Wastes' he mentions that 'The High priestess of Aldrya at the Paps always encourages heroquests to establish plants, she clearly works with the elves of the Garden in the Rubble to this end'
So if the elves of the Garden won't talk to us, then we could go on a quest to the Paps and talk to her instead, I'm guessing she would be interested in that seed from Whitewood.

Cleaning the murals

Despite his words about catching up with Melock, Hoskar finds himself cleaning murals. Not sure if I was invited - maybe they have Raven business - and there might be writing here

As he scrubs away, one new picture draws his attention; a strangely-garbed caravan of merchants approaching the post with faces brightly illumined as Bright Treasure sets before them. The faces are strange to him, bearing a cast to their eyes quite unlike the men of the plains or even those living to the west. They seem robed in a shiny material patterned with realistic images of something...a something with legs but also scales covering long sinuous bodies; nostrils broad. Not a snake for sure, nor a wyvern. Perhaps closer to the latter, but presented as if exuding more raw power. The men themselves look almost akin to the robes somehow: exotic, thin, hair straight, long and tied back...or are those things plaits? One man - trader prince perhaps - is bowing low; as if in greeting to the artist.

As he reveals more of the picture, it seems their cargo is a statue, man-headed but with a body akin to the lizard-thing on their robes. On its chest is a rune Hoskar has not seen before: a square balanced on its point, crossed through in both directions.  Although the background is clearly near here, the whole image has an unsettling quality of otherness to it, unfamiliar runes and visages adding to its disquieting note.

Hoskar draws breath sharply, an audible hiss of amazement. Horn and hide. If this is taken from life, they had some weird visitors here.

---------

Voras grimaces upon learning of Umbra's demise.  "If we plan to do any more investigation in that direction, we'll have to come up with another method."

After spending the night in the courtyard, he rises with the dawn the next morning, whispering a quick prayer to Sun Hawk before returning to clean the murals in a small side room.  As he cleans, he notices that the grime is not quite as thick in one section of the wall.  Wiping the built-up dirt and dust away, Voras discovers that whatever the original mural here was has been painted over. This mural is old enough to have been once again covered by the ever-present sands of the wastes, but clearly far younger than the rest of the trading post, as is evidenced by the scene depicted - the Red Goddess wrapping the earth around her as the Red Moon first rises to the sky in Dara Happa.

Who were those who made this painting and why did they travel here?

Unicorns

Are the Skywatchers a unicorn clan that when they lost their unicorns at the end of the green age, transitioned to the next best thing? A bigger bulkier horse with a horn on the end?

When we restore the green and bring back unicorns....will the skywatchers move back to being a unicorn clan.....or will they stay on rhinos?

Not sure how all the men will deal with that as only women can ride unicorns. Nice concept though.

Re: Hook line and sinker.

Obviously, the men rode rhinos originally. :-)

The Skywatchers are a fusion clan, an amalgamation of a rhino clan and a unicorn clan, so the unicorn clan would survive post unicorn...

Re: Hook line and sinker.

Facts:

1. Only women can ride unicorns.
2. Melock is riding a unicorn.

Conclusion:

Melock has inadvertently started a heroquest the result of which is that he becomes a woman :D

In reply to Ohanzee Shappa (msg # 61):

And he's got to become a virgin, though there's probably a heroquest for that as well :)

I think it's more likely that the Unicorn Tribe will hunt down Melock and make him a slave...

Re: Hook line and sinker.

If, because of his short ride, Melock has a visit from Mr Floppy, I guess he'll have to find some more unicorn riders and persuade them to lift the curse. Yet another reason to go to Pavis.

I'd be more concerned about Mr Choppy if I were you. Either way your honeymoon isn't going to be much to write home about :))

Re: Hook line and sinker.

The Raven ostrich-brave Hide in Cover (who traded intoxicants with Melock) was the best qualified Big Pecker to escape the Broo pursuit, (if he lived long enough to choose to run away).

Re: Hook line and sinker.

When is the Garhound contest? Might be fun to get drawn into that if it coincides with our visit, especially as it is all about winning the hand of the Harvest Bride and so  bringing fertility for the year.

Re: Hook line and sinker.

After dangling beneath a giant moth, and surviving a vertiginous fall, Temush has yearing to be able to fly. Ostrich Elders would probably disapprove, maybe Dust Flies High will talk some sense into him...

Should have brought the pot with Daga in it!. This will also be Amara's initiation day and for anyone who wishes to initiate in Orlanth adventurous.

It might still be good for the snappy couple to be in on the ceremony though, since they have previous in confronting Daga
