3. -Hurk
Khuv replies. "Probably... once? Maybe twice given no other need to use my defenses or other powers? Last night I popped behind the dream spider to stab it and with the wormhole I opened to the deck, I was pretty drained... and I really, really do not want to be drained completely mentally. There's too much crazy shit following us lately."
Hurk gets a mental knock. Sharidivan's strong mental voice quarries, <"Is my fellow Ledopolan okay? I tried to reach to him before contacting you... nothing."

<"My condolences then. I take it you are not the lone survivor then? My business here is nearly completed... and yours? I will need a few more days before I am ready to head back home.">
There is something different in his mental voice. Almost stronger than you last remember.
<"I have divined a bit on the medallion you lent me and thrown off some unwanted mental observation. Dream spiders you say? Hmm.">
OOC: Conversation is still active. You can be narrating back to the others or posit some questions if you'd like.

OOC: Conversation is still active. You can be narrating back to the others or posit some questions if you'd like. HurK loudly snaps his fingers to get everyone's attention and begins speaking their conversation as it happens <"My condolences then. I take it you are not the lone survivor then? Dream spiders you say? Hmm. <Only he was bitten. We encountered two mates and their dozen eggs but when they didn't listen to reason or communication I used the way to stun them while the others hacked them to pieces.> <My business here is nearly completed... and yours? I will need a few more days before I am ready to head back home."> <A few days? Perfect, we have something to occupy ourselves until your trek home: the searching of the spiders lair> There is something different in his mental voice. Almost stronger than you last remember. <"I have divined a bit on the medallion you lent me and thrown off some unwanted mental observation.> <You sound... different. We need your help when next we're in person elder as we've been constantly spied upon since we last saw you.> |

There's a chuckle.
<"That's because I'm younger - at least physically, than I was when we last met. I have a few more days before I'll feel as if in my prime, but at least the cough has cleared up.">
Slight pause.
<"If you can gather enough of that spider's web, you might be able to hide some things from casual contact & scrying. Just beware that dream spiders will often be attracted to the webbing in our physical world. They nest and lay eggs here as there as Time flows differently in their space. Webs in our Material world serve as markers for them to pass into the Real. Although it looks like you've discovered that, inadvertently on your own.">

Did your Kreen friend use a new regenerative science upon you?!> Slight pause. <"If you can gather enough of that spider's web, you might be able to hide some things from casual contact & scrying.

We did discover it but not to the detail you just gave us. We were able to find some magical weapons, thanks to our team hiding them in the webs awhile ago, but do not know anyone to uncover their magical qualities. We'll definitely need their help in combating the Ssurlons...> |

<"Something like that. There are a few longer lived kreen... a long time ago I discovered their secret. I called in some old favors, since apparently my work is not done here. This may anger some of my old compatriots, some because of my choice to do such an unnatural thing...
some of jealousy, this is not a secret just anyone should have access to...
and to another few, my continued presence might upset their standing in the world. It is done though for the most part. I will contact you again once I'm a day away from home. I have cast the die, now we'll see where it falls.">

<Elder do you know someone you could introduce us to in order to identify our magical weapons? I wish they were psionic but these are what we could obtain on short notice.>

<"I would suggest looking for those who wear the Veil. Altaruk is a great place to look for such things, Balic riskier. Where are you right now?">

HurK brings up his hand up to shield the sun from his eyes as he looks inland towards... THE TOWER
<In a cove near this tall white alabaster tower. Using Clairvoyance, Coden saw some craziness happen between two large creatures battling it out yesterday. Purple Tentacles and lungs were popping out all over the place from their wounds...>

After a night's rest and a slice of cheese, Laakh has been silently waiting for his Observation Sense to kick in. Having found nothing, he tunes into Hurk's exchange with Shardivan, gleaning that the dwarf has made himself stronger for the coming bug hunt. When he hears "Altaruk" he adds:
"For the moment we are unobserved. Savor it. Altaruk has a shopkeeper I know, Andras. He will suss out our new toys, or know who can. Since I cannot operate any of them but the dagger which is better in Khuv's hands, I will see what can be found along the way to boost my chances."

Did I miss something???
"Tell the mind master we'll return to the Dream Spider lair, then try for Altaruk, then regroup once we know what we have in out hands."

HurK asks as he pats the Datchi club tied tohis belt "What about this club? If you can use it, take it."HurK smiles "No but it was a good tale as it was happening!""Tell the mind master we'll return to the Dream Spider lair, then try for Altaruk, then regroup once we know what we have in out hands." HurK relays the information to the elder |

OOC: You passed the Pristine Tower on the way to Nibenay while originally on Hurk's back. On a clear day you can see it from this silt shore.
<"Stay away from that warped place. It's radiations have the power to change those that bleed nearby.">
<"You travel fast. I assumed you were using psychoportation... but, did you make it to Nibenay or Gulg? In Nibenay, I'd be very careful to not break the law or seek out the Veil there. The Shadow King's wives are one of the most cohesive templarates and one small misstep could put their (the preservers) entire organization at risk.">

<Understood Elder. I flew the group to Nibenay using Metamorphosis and then we wormholed back to the silt shore when Haadan was bit. Laakh has a contact in Altaruk so we'll return to the Dream Spider lair under Nibenay, then try for Altaruk, then regroup once we know what we have in our hands. I wanted to hunt the meteor that came down last night somewhere north beyond the haunted Windbreak Mountains but it seems we do not have the time for it...">

<"Hmm. I saw that the other night as well. However it seemed to land a full hand's distance to the north - I'd been facing the Forest Ridge, staring over the distant jagged horizon. That would put it far north of the Stone City, past the Smoking Crown even. You would probably need to talk to those in Urik to properly sight the spot it crashed... and if you thought of it, a hundred other treasure seekers will have considered it as well.">
