You meet back at the boat to discuss things. Please continue on in this thread. Remie, feel free to drop any questions Bankhuv has in as well.
Plans for the following day include well clearing, refugee conversations, and...?
Will there be continued or further speak with the urns and their inhabitants?
Spells or divinations of any sort attempted?
The sun sets over the nearest mountain peaks. Reddish orange and purples are seen; silt dust quickly disappearing from sight as the light retreats and the wind subsides. It promises to be a chill evening as you assemble at the docks.

Once everyone is gathered below deck, HurK gives everyone the details of his mental conversation with the elder psion.HurK asks Mak to also try communicating with the other 'female' urn when he can and that he will mentally protect him. The goal is to get as much information about her most recent experiences with 'Gallard', her general disposition/attitude and possible alignment orientation. |

Bankhuv makes sure that he does not miss any conversation concerning or with the urns. So he finds himself a place to sit near Hurk.

Rizla takes a position nearby Khuv while plank meditating. He offers his services as a bench to the halflings.

After hearing all the additional information about the meaning of names like Gallard, Make agrees to contact the other urn that evening before he rests to replenish his spells. Tomorrow he'll need much of his magic for restoring the land.
Assuming he's got protection from two manifestations of Tower of Iron Will nearby he will cast Telepathy on the 2nd urn with the female undead.

The following morning HurK clears the new area of stones (under Mak's direction) and hauls them with the wagon to the Captain's dictated area of the previous stone collections. After hearing all the additional information about the meaning of names like Gallard, Make agrees to contact the other urn that evening before he rests to replenish his spells. Tomorrow he'll need much of his magic for restoring the land. Assuming he's got protection from two manifestations of Tower of Iron Will nearby he will cast Telepathy on the 2nd urn with the female undead. That evening, HurK lotus sits next to Mak "You are protected Mak. Her name is Shurpanakha and we want to know EVERYTHING that happened with Gallard AND Manion Shom." The half giant takes a deep breath then closes his eyes. He envisions a massive Battlement of solid granite in his minds eye surrounding the duo... |

You sit and twin towers of mental force protect the halfling druid as he prepares to commune with the second urn's spirit. Mentally, a wicked scream; roar tears into Mak's mind. (think a combination of Tom Araya from Slayer belting out "War Ensemble" + Fran Drescher's voice). "HAVE YOU COME BACK TO HARASS ME MORE, LIZARD KING?!!! I HAVE TOLD YOU EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. WHAT MORE DO YOU SEEK TO GAIN, UNLESS MY TORTURE IS YOUR PLEASURE?"www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ivOfkqFmxg |

He answers her calmly, "... how about Revenge?"Mak continues, "As you may guess, my lady Shurpanakha, I am neither Gallard nor am I his servant Manion Shom. You have been redeemed from their captivity... and I may redeem you yet further, releasing you from this prison. But first I must know what secrets you've shared with them. What have you told them about Harkor and the southern kingdoms? What do they know... of the Zhen?" |

HurK slightly winces at the mental yelling, solidifying the massive blocks that make up his mental tower defense, then leans over and whispers in Maks ear "...and find out her relationship and disposition to Narakasura."

There is some serious laughter. It is far from pretty.
"What has that fool Narakasura told you mortal? Nay. Answer me not. I will not be indebted to an unknown faction. Instead, tell me this. HOW and WHO are you foiling to gain my revenge... since you seem to know so much? Hmm?"

HOW and WHO are you foiling to gain my revenge... since you seem to know so much? Hmm?"Mak continues to speak, his voice blank of any emotion. "Narakasura was not told that we had you, nor was I planning to inform you of his presence here. I see that nothing can be hidden from your intellect, I had estimated that you were the stronger of the pairing, it seems I estimated correctly. Gallard is not a friend to either of us. If you seek revenge against him, I would be obliged to assist you in that pursuit as it aligns with our own goals. Tell me of how Manion Shom acquired your urns and what knowledge you have imparted unto his master, Gallard." |

"Correct answer. For if you wanted me to turn against Harkor? Sure, he imprisoned us... but I do not blame him. Not like that cur in the other pot." She growls. "It was not his fault that we were stolen by the Stone Lizard's lackey, now was it? Before I tell you more, swear that you will release me. Swear it!" The voice pauses. "Perhaps if you tell me about yourself, mortal... we can determine a proper oath."

"Perhaps if you tell me about yourself, mortal... we can determine a proper oath." Mak laughs a good natured loud belly laugh at her offer. "Apologies my lady Shurpanakha, but you have vastly misjudged me. I have no quarrel with Harkor, nor would I be one to ever suggest that one forget all oaths and betray one's liege. Neither would I swear any oath to one such as yourself. Despite our quite vast differences, I am a simple man of my word. If I tell you that I will do a thing, then you can be sure that it will be accomplished."Mak releases a long breath and returns to his emotionless voice. "Perhaps we have started this off on the wrong foot. Let me answer 2 of your questions, then perhaps you will see that we do not intend to keep you prisoner for prolonged interrogation... and you can answer 2 of our questions." |

"Perhaps a more proper introduction then. As you already know, I am Shurpanakha. Once Oathkeeper of the Sacred Flame... now Zhen, a black glass stolen soul." Her voice seems saddened slightly. "Harkor dug me out and changed our purpose, which was his right. Others followed and we built again."
"Now tell me your name and purpose, spirit shaker."

"Now tell me your name and purpose, spirit shaker." Mak considers the question for a moment and answers as bluntly as he can, "I am called Mak, however my full given name is Lahr O'Ghav. Among my people I was once counted among the Ghav-Rath, but then I heard the call of the land and became it's protector."
"What is your second question Shurpanakha?" |
