Niachi snaps out of his morning meditations on hearing the news.
"How can we assist?"
He whistles for his familiar to return. On instinct he casts Cat's Grace on himself, stands with knees bent and spring-loaded, a study in pent-up energies ready to release.
Dex +2 to 18, duration: 7 hours.

Niachi snaps out of his morning meditations on hearing the news. "How can we assist?" "Can you locate her whereabouts through spell or The Way? Also can either of you communicate with the seed team" Hurkling says rubbing his temples |

HurKling said:
"Negative. I can track actual footsteps, or a known arcane spellcaster. Let me ask our hosts."
To J'lact:
<Kreen> "Our flying one called N'dhe has suffered a Wormhole error and is lost to us! Perhaps 100 miles from here? Can your wise ones locate her? Her image and voice are in my thoughts if one can enter my mind and lock onto her essence.
Our pack is lessened. Can you help?"

"A hundred miles?"
He gets grabs his gythka and scratches a few marks on the ground.
"If she is in the grasslands? Anywhere. Let's say this is Nirik."
He points and marks the middle.
"If she's near swamp, she's north. She could possibly reach the river, that's here."
He marks north and east.
"There are three of our settlements about the same distance as well, due west of us in Nirik is J'eztere. A true city."
"Northwest of us is Ko'teg. Slightly smaller than us, they guard from the creatures of swamp."
"And south of J'eztere, still about a hundred miles from here is Z'aythar. They have perhaps twice as many clutchmates than we have here."
"Worn paths range from here to J'eztere and then to each of the other satellite towns. Between here and J'eztere..."
He hesitates.
"A hatching ground near the remains of dead clutchmates. A sacred place. To not be tohr here can be death to an outsider."

Chat'cho refuses to interrupt her meditations, believing that her most powerful magic will be required in order to rescue Ande from the predicament she has found herself in.

Niachi bows deep to the tohr mapmaker.
<Kreen> "Very helpful. The sacred hatching place will remain secret and untainted by non-tohr if we can help it. We can fly to the Seed to regroup with those who may find her. Would your people have divinations to aid us in locating N'dhe?
With the herd animals to provision your settlement, we are hunting strong to bring our cultures together. May it continue with mutual aid."

"I'm afraid they [our shamans] hardly knew her."
Is J'lact's reply.

After some time during the cast Nap, and no one from the group has shown up, Quila will ping to Ande again <‘Is anything amiss? We are waiting on you all.’>
Presumably with no answer forthcoming Quila will contact HurK instead <‘Hello HurK this is Quila. What is the delay in getting to the Seed?’>
She will also try and find out more about Ande’s weird mental condition given they were just talking mentally before, how is she asleep? Quila concentrates and activates an Environment on one of Ande’s baubles she is intimately familiar with to get a 360.

Quila can see that Ande is being carried by four black chitined j'ez tohr-kreen, tied to a gythka through the streets of an alien, high towered insectoid metropolis. But then soon after, she is thrown somewhere dark, leaving her time to "talk" to Hurk.
<‘Hello HurK this is Quila. What is the delay in getting to the Seed?’>

<‘I just got a view of her predicament by the sight. She is in a large kreen settlement, unconscious and tied to a gythka, carried through the streets of a high-towered kreen metropolis. Can you inform and try to get J’Lact to help us here? I will ask if Eslyk or Chat’cho can help to regroup us, I can only Teleport.’>

<Understood>
Pointing to the drawn map in the ground, HurKling asks J'lact "Which of these would have very high-towered buildings and much MUCH more structures than here, J'eztere or Z'aythar?"

"J'eztere. Z'aythar is large, but low to the earth. J'eztere is a grand clutch." He beams with pride.
"We have clutchmates there. I will have one of the Nirik-tohr mindspeak to our mates and explain the situation. Assuming she has not bloodied one of clutch, or has been eaten, she will likely be freed? Curiosity will likely keep her from being eaten. We are not savages, as you know."

HurKling nods his thanks "We appreciate your help in freeing our clutchmate from your city."
<J'lact is contacting some of his pack that live in the city, J'eztere, that subdued Ande. What did Chat'cho or Eslyk say?>

At this point, J'lact leaves presumably to locate his psychic clutchmate.
