» D&D - Dark Sun: Region of Ankanta, This is where it all start now...

[Tohma]

The feeling of someone getting pass his sences unnerved Kelderion more than the person's presence itself.

"How do we know we can trust him?" Kelderion knew the question sounded stupid as the three of them had only just met, but the newest new comer was one of the guy's onw men.

[Luthiena]

Y'chi's first impulse was to agree with Kelderion, in her experience it was never a good sign when an employer sent along one of their own 'retainers' along for the journey; but she had been trying to break her natural untrusting tendancies and giving everyone a chance.

"How do you know you can't trust him?"

[hobopew]

Jinn had to agree it was unerving but he had been used to it, the person hiring an etra man of there own to oversee there stuffs being deliviered and they usually got in the way nearly all of the time, but two of three had adressed the problem and he was just going to sit back and watch the answer.

Jinn stepped to one side so that the elves could be addressed and began sizing up the man(if hes not there the aura of the man) to see if it was a major threat a possible threat or other things, but generally seeing what he could see

[The Ubbergeek]

From a shadowy hall came a man... Shourt but stout, bald and hairless. The built of a stone under an austere dark robe of sort, a sort of round hat on the head. This was an athasian dwarf, with the markings of one of those hermits you could see congregating in the western rocky wildernesses.

The stone grey pupils on them, calm and emotionless. The look and the aura, focused and rationaly orderly told it - he had the Will the Way. A psion. a mentat; those have many names. A disciple of the Power that is seeped so full in the planet.

-He will supervise the travel along my men, and help you at the best of capacity.

And arguably, watch them for doublecrossing...

[hobopew]

Jinn eyes widened as he saw the Psion dwarf, a truely rare sight, esspecially since this old man had one under his coin, but even more sot hat he got a hermit dwarf to come down form there home inside a rock to watch over a lot of carts.

Then it occured to him, that the dwarf could be reading his thoughts and as quick as a blink he put up his more than suitable mental sheilds that he had been training from other encounters with Psions, and his usual drinking game with them of mind wresteling. He knew this would hold up the average Psion and would slow down the above average ones that this might be.

He turned to the old man and said "For the third time, when do we start?" He looked at his companions and gave them a look of, Don't ask ever just go with it, and then back at the old man with a semi fake smile

[The Ubbergeek]

The man merely drank, and answered quietly the impatient youth's question calmly.

-This very evening, if you are so ready. I will accelerate the preparations... This was. the weather will be more friendly and we may escape... troubles under the night.

The austere-looking dwarven psion said nothing, only watching in a discomforting unblinking way. Probably scanning them somehow...

[Tohma]

Kelderion gazed over at the Dwarf, if the party thought thay were going to get along they had another thing coming.

"I'm sure that with everything we have between us, we are fully prepared." The half-elf stated wanting nothing more than to get on the road and away from the eye of the psion Dwarf.

[Luthiena]

Y'chi felt an involuntary kneejerk reaction of distrust as the Psion dwarf made an entrance; she couldn't stop the racial distaste she felt for the dwarf as an elf, and she could see from his reaction that Kelderion seemed to share her misgivings.

Smoothing her face over she bowed to both the newcomer and the old lord.

"I too am prepared, let us leave."

[hobopew]

Jinn smiled as he didn't feel the eye of the Psion dwarf penatrate his mental wall, but then he didn't knwo if he was trying or not. Either way his thoughts were safe for now.

He turned to his companions and said "Well then let this merry band of mercenaries sit on a cart of supplies for a few days. Easiest paycheck eh?" He chuckled jokingly towards the old amnd and smiled raising an arm to him as if he were welcoming family and said "Yes lets venture forth" He tired to look calm but couldn't help but look at the dwarf witha weary look smile on his face just weakened a bit knowing that things could get nasty, it was not them the old man had to worry about it was the psion

[The Ubbergeek]

-You can have access to our warehouse accross the street, where we hold all ready, then. May the elements grace you favorably.

He spoke simply, showing his cup for it to be filled again. The meeting was done, at least...

-And you go with them, Nerak; he will make the counts. Nothing like the dwarven determination and discipline for such work.

-Very well.

The dwarf spoke quietly for the first time; there was an eerie lack of emotion and warmth in the voice... Such a Will.

[hobopew]

[I'll carry on shall i xD don't want this closing]

Jinn turned and nodded to his companions, the people he'd been put wtih, he trusted them mroe than the dwarf, but still this happened every job, the bank, or person paying, brings someone along jsut to oversee how things go to plan.

Jinn tried to sweep the people out tot he cart, he'd rather get this underway and done with as soon as possible, psions creeped him out, so he whispered to his companions "Come on lets get this done with"

[Tohma]

Sighing, Kelderion let himself be herded out of the courtyard to follow the cart which the four of them would be protecting.

[The Ubbergeek]

The old man clasped hands, and servants came to lead the new companions outsides gracefully. The dwarven psion following of course, like a dark and creepy shadow. It feels like he mentaly watches them somehow...

Then, a somewhat queer catarian hume in delicate clothes, an higher servant, bring them to the House's warehouse where the trip is preparated, the carts readied.

-Follow me, good sires...
