Peters chuckled a bit and raised a staying hand at the boy. "You're in the right not trust'in me boy, priest law is only an idear out here near the border."

Temmit didn't reply, but simply held his sword.

"Right," Peters said and reached his hand slowly into a pocket of his brown leather vest. He pulled out a piece of folded parchment and began to unfold it slowly. Temmit spied the POOSH stamp (Post Office Of Safe Haven) on one of the sides as it unfolded. Peters looked at whatever was written on it, then looked up at Temmit, then back at to the piece of paper. He had a curious look of awe on his face.

"Damn boy that's just nuts," he said to the parchment.

Without much ceremony, he flipped the parchment over and offered it to Temmit.
Temmit accepted the parchment cautiously, stepping forward only for a brief moment to take it. He didn't drop his weapon for a moment.

When Temmit looked down upon the paper he was looking at the backside, he noted that it was much worn, as if the folded paper had been in the man's pocket for a long time. It was also letter sized and the same type of paper his father had used for his drawings. The POOSH stamp was dated SummerFirst-Endday-2120 (07.20.2120), over twelve years ago.

He flipped it over to see what Peters had been looking at...and there, centered in the paper, sketched by his father's distinctive hand, was a drawing of Temmit's face...at age 15.

Sorry, I thought I answered you but it could have been lost in formatting. "No" you do not know of Rob Peters.

The door opened and a man with long gray hair and a bushy mustache poked his head in. He gave a smile, and then looked down on the ground while nodding and smiling to himself.

Temmit easily ascertained that this man was amused. He seemed pleased to find exactly what had been expected; a frightened teenage boy holding a sword in the middle of his parent's old cabin.

"Good evening," he said as he took two steps in while taking off his wide-brimmed ten-gallon hat. Hair spilled everywhere about his shoulders. "Again, the name is Peters, and you must be Temmit," he offered. Temmit noted that his eyes didn't look at Temmit's sword, nor did the man in any way look anxious. Peters was as relaxed as a cucumber, and more importantly, didn't looked armed.

After further review, I have changed my mind and want to revise all my answers about prints as follows. I apologize for the late revision:

    Inside the house: On his initial search through the house, Temmit did see that there were footprints that went from the front entrance directly to his parents bedroom and to the trapdoor in the floor (and then back to the entrance). Whoever it was, they knew exactly what they wanted and exactly where it was. The footprints looked to be the size of a man's boot.

    *Front entrance: After discovering the blanket on himself, Temmit noted a separate set of prints, not his own, that lead from the road to the threshold and then to spot he slept. The prints then returned to the road. The footprints looked to the smaller and perhaps a woman's boot.

    *Woods surrounding house: Although there is no sign that the house has been approached or vandalized during its entire life without a family, you did find a path about 50 behind the cabin. This path appears to be a deer path, but you did find a man's bootprint in a patch of dried mud. The boot was pointed in the direction of the path.[/list][/color]

    I deleted my mistake and our OOG comments. Enjoy!

    "No I am afraid not kiddo," answered Natasha with sympathy. "It is a hard labor camp in the EastHaven mines, and not a place for young girls like yourself."

    Before Shannon burst with her next question Natasha interrupted her with a palm held up. She walked over to Shannon sitting on the bench and kneeled in front of her.

    "Listen kiddo. The place where they are going is not a safe one for any prisoner. You will also find out from others that it is a death sentence in and of itself..."

    "But why then...." Shannon started to interrupt. Natasha put her hand over Shannon's nervous ones to calm them from kneading apart her skirt upon her lap. This stopped her just long enough from speaking to allow Natasha to continue.

    "Although this place is horrible, I have assurances from Cyric Longbow, the very same councilman to Fresenius' left out there in the courtyard, that they will be safe." Natasha let Shannon absorb this new information, seeing how she would react.

    "Alright kiddo?"

    Do you have a form of tracking, nature, or survival (in 3.5 edition) that will allow you to discover prints in rough terrain (woods nearby)? Otherwise, there is nothing in the immediate area in front of the cabin. And negative, you do not recognize the name.

    There was a slight pause before the voice with the slow draw answered, "come on now, that I recken was at least ah-some-bit funny."

    When Temmit didn't respond he continued. "The name is John Peters. Yours is Temmit and I was a friend of your fathers many years back before the tragedy."

    This character sounds like (and if you open the door will look like) Sam Elliot in his long hair days (look up on Google Images Sam Elliott: Golden Compass).

    There was no telling if separate footprints were made by the person, thing, or Kahr'Thul (hehe) that may have laid that blanket on you. This was because you had spent a good deal of time making a fire in the common area fireplace prior to falling asleep and a new set made wasn't traceable.

    Prior to that fire-making, you did note that the floors were all very dusty. But you don't recall seeing any footprints anywhere in the dust throughout the rooms as you initially searched.


    "A Kahr'Thul," a low baritone voice answered. "Thought I would knock first."

    This thread is on hold. It needs to await resolution of an issue that occurred 5 years ago in "07.25.2127 - A Boy of the Cloth", as follows:

    In this thread, the 15-year-old Harrison is a member of the Clergy House.

    In the thread from 5 years ago (previously mentioned), Harrison was in the Harvesters House and seeking a way to transfer.

    Moving about the cabin home, he again was pleasantly surprised to see that none of the family belongings had been stolen. After these many long years out here alone in the wilderness it didn't make any sense, but he was happy with the fact regardless. He threw a pan of well water on the wood stove and in no time was drinking coffee, bags of freshly imported Nuthouse Blend now secure on the shelves. He smiled at Montey's incredulous look when he said he needed three months' worth of beans.

    Gathering food took no time at all. A fresh patch of berries grew just east of his home. He dropped a line in a brook nearby and almost immediately caught a trout. Along with the last of the bread from Our Commons, he had quite the late afternoon meal. With food in his belly, Temmit had the energy to collect firewood and do some wood-splitting before the sun gave up the last of its rays.

    He had the fire started and was completely cleaned up and ready to sit down to review the pictures awaiting near Dad's chair when there was a polite knock on the door.

    "Alright then," Michael offered and then he knocked on the door. It was quiet on the other side for a moment and then there was a bit of a crashing sound and what sounded like bottles scattering on a floor.

    Michael raised his eyebrows and said "Oh my."

    "One blasted moment," said a woman in a laughing, low-voice beyond the floor. It sounded like she was struggling to make it to the entrance, as if there was clutter in her path in getting to it. The door opened and a heavy-set woman with ragged black hair and flushed cheeks stuck her head out.

    "Lorainna doesn't see anyone until past the 6th hand and..." she began in a hurry that was interrupted by Michael's sudden flash of two gold coins that appeared from nowhere and into his hand.

    "We would like to see her now please," Michael asked.

    The woman finished her egress through the door. The silk cloths about her large body were matted to her skin in some places and disheveled in the others. The smell of booze which followed to her exited the old house and engulfed the two boys. She looked the boys up and down.

    "She may take you on but there is no way she is laying a knapsack for the kidster," the woman said plainly.

    "That's not what we are here for, I just need some information," Michael said confidently and then handed her the gold coins. "Those two gold pieces are to wake her up, she gives me the information I seek and there is a lot more to be had."

    Both Harrison and Deidra were incredulous, it was a lot of coin.
    The woman let out a hearty laugh and not an all too unfriendly one Harrison thought.

    "I like your style kid!" she said then opened the door fully for the two of them. "Go on in young Masters, take the door to the common room to your right and I will go get her."

    They entered a very narrow hallway. There was a rickety old door to the left that was half open, or rather, half attached to its hinges. The kitchen beyond looked to have a stairwell that lead upward from it. The door to the right was open in towards what promised to be the common room beyond. A room at the end of the hallway had a young girls head poking through it. Her brown hair and green eyes was the only things Harrison noticed before she disappeared behind the quickly closed door.

    Michael and Harrison took the immediate right and faced a very messy common room. Its meager furnishings included a worn couch, its cloth upholstery ripped in many places, a rickety old rocking chair, and a beaten up bureau. Scattered about on the floor at the end of the couch were empty bottles of wine. The floor near the door was barely visible under the clutter that looked like all manner of female belongings. Clothes, combs, silks, female accessories (ACK!), and other such items were everywhere. The two boys would have sat down but felt uncomfortable to do so.

    The heavy woman disappeared in the kitchen and up the stairwell beyond.

    To reply to this post, it will also take a hard look at my notes. Re-reading it though sent chills up my spine. I had forgotten how interwoven all my story lines were/are for this campaign. Harrison's story is one of my favorites in this campaign and I can't wait to dive back in (if your willing).

    hmph, interesting, I can't open the color dialog button...

    I can type in  the code though!

    If he had dozens of questions before his homecoming, he had hundreds now.

    The next page was a beautiful rendering of his sister Nalla leaning against the well out back. While an incredible piece of art, it only served to pull at Temmit's heart-strings. "Hi Nalla," Temmit said aloud as he flipped over her smiling image, placed her down in portrait configuration, and moved on to the next one.

    The next one was of a distant view of the Temple of Kaine. Once again, his father's artistic hand worked wondrous magic, for it was an incredibly detailed piece of sketch-work. Judging by the angle of the building, the adjacent and outlying structures, Temmit believed the viewpoint of the artist was somewhere near or in the school district; high up on the rim of the valley looking to the center of Safehaven. All the buildings familiar to Temmit could be seen in the bowl-shaped city. It appeared that the image was a portrayal of some summer day since a nearby tree was full of leaves and a bird was flying by, perhaps a dove, in the foreground.
