Subject: First Meetings

Kubalc hears a strange variant his own language issue forth from the strange man's, and confusion settles on his face. The man looked strange - his ears were not right, and there was something else about him that was not entirely human. Another in the group looked even stranger, a strangely thin swordsman with white hair, again with the same strange ears. What were these men? Were the emissaries of Khoftak somehow, sent to punish or make peace?

He looks to the others in the party, from the metal-clad warrior of the mountain folk, who seemed almost as out of place here as the giant weasel, to the two men of the tribes. The one seemed a mystic of some sort, one of those who could call upon the earth's natural forces, but the other was... he stopped as he saw the markings on Buchek's face. The other was... dead?

Could Khoftak have sent an ancestor spirit from beyond the living world to admonish him? Or perhaps to make truce?

Glancing about, trying to see where this strange band could come from, he looks beyond the grasses to the crest of the high hill, where he sees a girl child riding a beast of burden hitched to a wagon. Surely then, these were not emissaries of the gods... but travelers.

But what of the dead man?

"I see you strange one. I also see the ghost that travels with you. Do not come any closer if you wish to aid us, until we make ritual to appease the god spirit Khoftak. If you despoil this ground, my warriors will sacrifice your blood to the god of hunger to quench his thirst."

Telwyn nods to the barbarian, then relays the barbarian words to Erk and Elotai. He keeps his distance until the ritual is complete.
