(IC) Lost In Dreams [Peter]

[the_matrix_walker]

Can Peter understand the language and make out what the voices are saying?

He will encourage his new friends to take it easy and hold back while he investigates, just in case the newcomers react poorly.

He summons Goliath to his side as he moves toward the voices.

How long has it been since Peter expended his ER?

Rolling versus hearing... wow Peter has high Per.

Peter can hear a word or two. Its in some very thick accent of english. He hears "beach" and "wood" and "persons".

He will encourage his new friends to take it easy and hold back while he investigates, just in case the newcomers react poorly.

Kiju: "This is a Jokuti*. But we are the leviathan. We should hide."
*literal meaning is "whalefall", but the context has something of a gold rush, or even a struggle over a carcass.

He summons Goliath to his side as he moves toward the voices.

He sees two men coming towards the beach. One is old, the other in the prime of his life. They wear loose fitting shirts, pants, and cloaks, hand-sewn (and hand woven), colored Green and Black, with a somewhat fancy hem of thicker thread. They don't match, but something about the cut and colors suggests the same person made all the clothes. They both have dark hair about five inches long and skin tanned from hours in the sun.

Older Man: "Ho! What brings ye nigh our shores!"
The accent is thick, and the vocabulary archaic... but Peter thinks he can make it out.

How long has it been since Peter expended his ER?

Five minutes, about.

Yep! Perceptive and strong willed! It has served him well as a survivalist!

"Hello there! I'm Peter, and this is Goliath."

Peter gives Goliath the speak-nice gesture and the great dog lets out a mid volume puff a bark, in a clearly non-aggressive way.
"WOOF"

More to himself than to the newcomers, Peter says... "I can't believe I'm going to say this;
But he speaks up as he continues...

"I was caught in a storm and woke up on the beach here. And I'm not the only one. I saw a bunch of stuff washed up down the way and I think there are some people who might have gone inland from there."


"And I met some REALLY INTERESTING people. Have you guys ever met the Vutu? They are from someplace called the ethereal realm. They are super shy, but that's no surprise, if this place is as alien to them as they look to me, I bet they're terrified."

"What do you call this place?"

[ericthered]

"This be Harcliff, near Minder in Cardiel. I be Asad, and this here be my son Hasan. Where hail ye from? From Earth? We not been seeing the others yet."


"I never yet be hearing of the Vutu. The Banestorm calls many worlds."


"Be any others with ye? These be our shores, it be proper of us to show a little hospitality."

[the_matrix_walker]

"I'm pleased to meet you. I appreciate the hospitality. The Vutu I spoke of are nearby in hiding... I'd like to introduce you if you are the kind of folks who can welcome people who are very different from you."


"Banestorm? That fits."


Peter tries to get a feel for the men. If they seem friendly enough he will ask the men to stay here while he brings the Vutu out to make introductions. They are armed and he doesn't want to lead the men into trouble if the Vutu misunderstand their collective approach.

He will try and make the introductions. When energy allows, he will try and give Javuchi the local version of English.

"If ye be from Earth, like I queried, Then we be far more accustomed to strange folk than ye. Have ye ever beheld a goblin?"


"This here be not the first time strange persons have washed in upon our shores. There be coming magistrates to see ye and settle ye upon new land, and teach ye to till the earth. But they be not arriving until evening, I reckon."

They don't seem surprised that strange people washed up on their beach. They don't seem to be looking for people though: they seem far more interested in stuff. They're friendly enough though.

That's either in an hour and a half or as soon as he can find something sweet-smelling to burn.

"If ye be from Earth, like I queried, Then we be far more accustomed to strange folk than ye. Have ye ever beheld a goblin?"

Peter's eyes widen...
"Have I beheld a goblin? No, sir I have not! I am from indeed from Earth. So you know about Earth and other worlds! Good deal!"


"So do goblins and humans live together, or do they do their own thing?"

"This here be not the first time strange persons have washed in upon our shores. There be coming magistrates to see ye and settle ye upon new land, and teach ye to till the earth. But they be not arriving until evening, I reckon."

"I know a little something about farming, well gardening anyway.. but I'm more of a wanderer. I doubt I'll stay long enough to watch anything grow."

They don't seem surprised that strange people washed up on their beach. They don't seem to be looking for people though: they seem far more interested in stuff. They're friendly enough though.

"So this bane storm is a regular thing?"

That's either in an hour and a half or as soon as he can find something sweet-smelling to burn.

Peter will keep an eye out for possible "Spell Components"

"Wait here and I'll see if they will come meet you, then we can all go look for more survivors and the stuff that washed up on the beach"

Peter will go back to his fellow castaways and escort them back to make introductions.
