Peter will try and subtly alert Anil with a little double hand-tap on his knife and a gesturing nod that Pundell's men may be positioning.

Subtle... hmmm.

Anil: "We should maintain military readiness! Check the rear! Keep your hands on your weapons and your eyes about you!"

He puts his hand on his pistol and turns to face directly and Mr. Pundell "We never know when we'll have to fight."

Mr. Pundell smiles "Relax. We've got all of them. we can put away our weapons. I have no fears."

His men drop their manuevers and put their weapons away. Colonel Holland seems oblivious to what was going on.

Mr. Stanway seems to be watching the manuevering though.

"So what's the plan now? Anil takes the idol in there and tries to whip up a proper soldier? How many people can use karana here? We might need to control the extra smoke from coming together itself!"

Peter keeps an eye on Mr. Pundell... the man is not to be trusted!

Colonel Holland: "We want a neutral party to summon the soldier, and a smoke-pulling expert. That's why Avinash was chosen to pull the creature into being, and why Mr. Stanway holds the talisman."

Mr. Pundell looks at Peter, seeming to notice him for the first time.

The group continues onward. Colonel Holland moves forward with speed, and is annoyed as rest of the group moves forward more slowly, as they are all keeping eyes on each other. The Colonel berates them "Can't you keep up with an old man!"

Mr. Stanway: "We're on horseback! your age has nothing to do with it!"

They make it to the circle without incident. There is nothing but fine ash in the center of the circle.

Peter chats with Anil as they approach, and gives Goliath a treat he saved from his rations.

"I'd think these guys would make better workers than soldiers if you can get them to do stuff. One wound and they bleed out all their smoke before too long. Maybe you can make lumberjacks or an obedient bull that can pull a plow and never get tired."

"Do you want me to do anything?"

Anil: "Lumberjacks don't win wars. It would be wonderful if the strongest and best workers triumphed, but this world is ruled by whoever can field the strongest army. My princely state will need these soldiers, as will the English. Perhaps this will change the fate of the great game"

Col Holland: "It would be wonderful if we could all beat our swords into plowshares, now wouldn't it. We'll need to find out just how expendable these soldiers are. Each demon that bleeds out smoke is a man who isn't bleeding blood. And Anil is right about the great game: we can hold off the Russians with this army."

Mr. Pundell: "Anil, who is that boy with you? I don't recognize him. How do you know him?"

OCC: Anil will respond mostly as you desire, or you can answer yourself.

"We've met... I tried talking to you a few times, but you're usually pretty focused and didn't really seem to have time for me. I joined the expedition late and kinda became Anil's companion."

Peter would usually be very concerned about people looking into his story, but he's not really worried about it now. He is assuming that with everyone at the site, that this is likely his last day on this world.

Mr. Pundell: "How late did you show up? Who is your father?"


Mr. Pundell intentionally stands next to Peter as they form up to watch. Everyone has hands on their weapons. Avinash takes the talisman, and a couple of fairly branches are placed in the pit. A match is dropped on them, and the sticks burst into flame, giving off a heavy smoke.



The Frog in Avinash's hands glows, and the smoke billows and turns as he forms a Green demon with wide shoulders and a long snout. The semicircle watching all has their weapons raised.



"What do you wish, Master...." the demon bows on one knee. The smoke continues to billow and form, though more slowly and trailing off.

Peter keeps an eye on the trailing smoke, making sure it is not gathering anywhere and forming another construct.

"I joined up not too long ago... I'm making my own way, my dad's name isn't going to mean anything to you."

Peter repositions himself to get some breathing space from Mr. Pundell.
"Hey, can I make one? I want to make a helper!"

Avinash is taking the smoke and forming a second demon, and it looks like that's as much smoke as they have.

Mr. Pundell scowls. "A runaway? hmm". Peter shuts down any further inquiries and moves away.

Mr. Pundell: "Shall we let each person who wants to make one take a turn? I personally have a desire to try my hand."

Mr. Stanway: "Give some orders to it first. Make sure this works! Have one kill the other."

Anivash gives commands to the demons, having them do some basic things, swing blades, and fire a gun at a target. Then he orders one to chop off the head of the other.

The condemned demon scowls at Avinash and the others and grimaces, but kneels and placed his head down to be severed. "I'd rather fight him that die like this..."
