Re: (IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)
Yeah, let's go for it! I'll go find a different corner deeper in the tunnel to tuck them away under.

Maybe do some more exploring in the after lunch. Maybe could get a better look around the mines, given nobody's working. Maybe get a good look at the waterfall given that's where they dump waste rock. |

Re: (IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)
Well, I don't see any particular reason why Julian would want to seek out an invading group, or why he would trust the obviously corrupt guards to conclude he just stumbled into this and isn't involved. They'd probably flog off the weapons too. This way, the invading group has no weapons, and the money at least goes to Julian.

I wonder what the spikes are for? People climbing over? Fish falling from above; well, below? I guess they had to build the frame out and into the waterfall. Last edited by TGLS; 06-23-2022 at 11:48 AM. |

I suppose I could poke around the mines, but I don't imagine I'd find anything around there I haven't seen before. Not sure what to do now; I suppose I could meander about. Are the crowds in the market doing anything interesting? |

The day ends, and Julian goes back to sleep. That night, he dreams of two men talking through small mirror five inches across. Or is it a vasic stone? One of them is in the mirror, and they talk back and forth. The man in the mirror seems to be in vegetation tunnels like the ones Julian is in. That man is tall and thin, with a solem face, deep lines, and a beard clinging to the underside of his chin. The man whose room he can see has a fine stone room with tapestries, rugs, a carved wooden desk, and vasic stone lights everywhere. This man has curly locks of hair and a thick mustache, as well as wearing a long flowing embroidered coat that almost turned into a robe. Julian struggles to follow the conversation, but they talk a lot about Bumundo, the Hawkin, Spears, 20 stones, Tiskar, Skalindir, and surprise. After a while, his dreams change, and he doesn't remember them. He wakes up in the morning.

I wake up, and begin to write: Another pins and needles dream last night. Two men were talking through a mirror, maybe a Vasic stone polished up to a mirror. One was tall, thin and had a goatee; he seemed to be in a vegetation tunnel. The other had curly hair and a moustache; he was living in much greater wealth than I’ve seen. They were talking faster than I’m able to keep up with, but I’m pretty sure they were talking about a surprise attack on Bumundo. The Lawin are involved somehow (as defenders?), and I think they were talking about how this would affect Tiskara and Skalindir. Maybe they’re worried about how they would respond, or maybe they have them bought off? They mentioned something about twenty stones. Maybe there are twenty stones up at the teleporter? Or maybe they’re trying to get a hold of twenty stones for some reason (special stones?). Maybe there’s an organization called twenty stones involved… I stop writing and try to draw out a picture of the two men separately. Quote:
To Do List - Work at the mines - Find someone interested in buying poles and/or knives - Work on identifying the people in my dream - Count the number of Vasic stones used in the teleporter complex (there are multiple stones used to push off enemies, right?) - Ask around to see if "twenty stones" means anything to anyone. |

There are merchants who sell knives, but you don't see anyone selling poles. The knife merchant says he will buy one knife for 4L. Maybe 5L if its big or nice, but he'd need to see it. Quote:

Now he needs to work through the todo list...

Re: (IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)
Well, I guess making a pendulum will wait.

OK, let's see where I'm at: To Do List - Work at the mines - Get a sack to move the knives more efficiently (?) - Check again to see if there are any pole sellers - Untie/cut off the knives from the poles - Sell the knives to the knife merchant, hopefully without getting the guards involved. - Work on identifying the people in my dream - Count the number of Vasic stones used in the teleporter complex (there are multiple stones used to push off enemies, right?) - Ask around to see if "twenty stones" means anything to anyone. Well let's hit them roughly in that order. Looks like I can't afford to buy breakfast this morning, so that will have to wait until later. I'll show the picture to Ump, Brog, etc. on the way in to work. Maybe Beardo is famous? I can only imagine Thin Man would be found with effort and luck. Ump's father said invaders pretend to be miners, so I should check with the Kapatas too. Right, so after work, I'll head over to the market for a very large meal. Got to cover a missed breakfast after all. I'll do my shopping then too; if I could buy a sack for 1L or so I'll do that. I'll check for pole sellers again, maybe they weren't there for council day? And if there are no pole sellers, how did the invaders get them to begin with? I should save time and count the the Vasic around the teleporter too. |

Ump, Rails, and Yip haven't seen the two either. The Kapatas looks at the paper. "What? Why? Who? No, can't say I've seen them." Quote:
Asking around, the pole-sellers are usually here, but haven't been the last week. Probably part of the increased security. They'll be back "when the alert is over" with an extra-large supply. Quote:
