12 Step - Hyborean Age
A dry hot wind carried dust with it as it swept across the plain. The sun scorched the earth and the summer heat was relentless. Vultures circled in the air against the backdrop of a dull blue sky. Off in the distance the brown walls and buildings of a city blended into the landscape.

There was a flash of bright light and six people and one horse stood on the dry plain.

	The heat didn't bother Eli in the least, coat and all, but he still preferred the cold climate of Polaria. "Perhaps the city will be more welcoming to us." Eli says, looking about the landscape. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Charlie shielded above his eyes with his hands. "Yeah. For this situation, shades might have been the wiser choice. But we don't have time to stand here and talk about fashion choices that we should have made." He looked at the assembled group. "Let's get going." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iason lifts off, hovering a few feet in the air, about his usual, and giving him a better look around. "I think I hear movement to the west. Are we trying to avoid locals, or get some idea where we are?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't figure we can get the job done -- whatever the job is -- without information on what's going on that shouldn't be around here. But that's just my opinion." She looks around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"'Twould be best to get moving, but we doth not know where we art. What doth thou see from thine height, Iason?" Svalin worked to calm Tryggvi who was a bit upset from being teleported. "Doth thou see any structures or buildings?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ryanspector 2010-04-20 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	“Getting our bearings is definitely a smart move before we get going,” Ryan said, “And we should have someone definitely talk to the locals, because even if they can’t help us figure out what we need to do here any cultural information would definitely be useful.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-04-20 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye. Information and appropriate clothing wouldst be most welcomed. We shouldst try to act and look like locals." Svalin wasn't all beat things up and chop up with a sword. She did use her mind more often than not. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Find someway to blend in, yes. We don't want to cause too much of a disturbance. But still-keep your weapons on you. Just in case." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-04-20 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin just stared at him. Weapons were the last thing anyone had to worry about. She was carrying two swords, two knives, her shield and there were extra knives and a bow over the pack on the back of the horse's saddle. She was almost a walking armory. The only she really lacked was an axe and a hammer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ryanspector 2010-04-20 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	Ryan was already looking through his bag for the three-section-staff and is holster which he could strap to his leg to that he would has that, his knife, and a few crescent darts in easy reach just in case and he was putting his jacket away since he doubted he would be needing it soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2010-04-20 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	Eli isn't carrying any weapons, but he agrees with the others. "Anyone who is interested in reaching the city immediately can teleport with me. I suppose we will know what kind of welcome we shall receive once we are there." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Information wouldst be wise before teleporting in. Iason wouldst thou scout ahead?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-04-20 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	Vernique's weapon, obviously, is staying in the bag for now. Fewer complications. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	borntolead 2010-04-21 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Charlie strapped his shield onto his back, adjusting it. "Iason can scout ahead. Teleporting would be ill advised, if we did it right away. We don't want to start anything. We don't know how people would react to that here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2010-04-21 06:02 pm UTC (link)
	"I can scout ahead, yes." he replies. Not having seen anything of note yet, he flies up, then over the trees, looking for anything where they might get some useful information. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-04-21 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded. "We wilt wait here until you return." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	cosmic_son 2010-04-21 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	Iason flies towards the nearest signs of civilization, smoke rising in the distance, landing near by to try not to startle anyone. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	nextgen_misc 2010-04-22 02:23 am UTC (link)
	The people of the city went about their business as usual, but there seemed to be less in the streets than there should have been. The usual crowds were absent and not many hawked their wares in the stalls that lined the streets. There was an odd feeling in the air. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2010-04-22 03:04 am UTC (link)
	He studies the area, before returning to the group. "Judging by the architecture and people I could see from a distance, we're in a very primitive time, though on Earth. They have metal crafting, but all other signs suggest somewhere before most recorded history." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ryan’s face lights up like it’s Christmas, and he starts rummaging through his bag looking for his camera, “No way, I have got to get some pictures with the amount of theories about what happen in this portion of human prehistory it will be neat to see which ones actually got things right.” Yes Ryan just complete geeked out over possible learning about unknown portions of human prehistory.

	borntolead 2010-04-22 03:30 am UTC (link)
	Charlie nearly facepalmed. "Dude...if you start taking pictures like a tourist when they more than likely have no IDEA what a camera is, people will go NUTS." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ryanspector 2010-04-22 03:54 am UTC (link)
	Ryan was already thinking through the process of explaining a camera to people that had never seen one before or any technology close to it when he realized how off task he was. “Point taken,” Ryan said though he still grab the camera put in easier reach in his backpack just in case he really needed it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-04-22 06:44 am UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded. "We doth need to blend in. Ist there a possibility of acquiring some garments for everyone?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm sure some moment will come when there's something interesting and definitely nobody around to see," Vernique tells Ryan with a grin. "Probably when something's about to eat us, but sure."

"Well, we could volunteer Iason to try to do the clothes shopping, too, if nobody has any better ideas." She does have a couple of nice silver bangles for possible currency approximation.

	blinkandmissme 2010-04-22 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	Eli considers what is being said around him. An age before great technology? He wonders how many of his own people have wondered about a time like this. "Blending in is a good idea for now, and Iason would serve best as our spokesperson, for now." Eli says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2010-04-23 02:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Hmmm, I'm certain I could find something. A lot of the clothing is very primitive. Vernique, if I were to provide materials, do you think you could adapt things for people? Eli... if you are capable of illusions, I can transmit to you what the garb looked like that I saw." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2010-04-23 02:57 pm UTC (link)
	"I am capable, Iason. Show me what you saw and I will do my best to copy it." Eli says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2010-04-23 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	Iason focuses his limited telepathy, glad to have at least one other Eternal around so he can do this at all. He transmits what he saw to Eli so he can reproduce the images for the others to study. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-04-23 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	Vernique'll watch what Eli eventually provides. "Yeah, I could do makeshift versions of that if I had stuff to work with." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“I’ve got a basic sewing kit in my med kit if you need it,” Ryan says making some mental notes on the outfits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-04-23 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	"I canst help sew," Svalin offered. Her life wasn't all about weapons and fighting. Einmyria had taught all the girls basic household skills like sewing and cooking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Iason heads back into the air, scouting until he finds what he's looking for. He returns about twenty minutes later with various hides and blankets borrowed from tanners and weaver out at the edge of the village. Those seem to be more spare than a lot of the other options for clothing, since most of the people he can see don't appear to have a lot extra. Not ideal, but he's sure 'trading' them Vernique's finished clothes will be more worthwhile, later, than their raw materials. Provided they get a chance to return all this, anyway.

	Eli transmits the info to the group so that they can see how they should dress, and begins crafting an illusion for himself to start. Moments later, he is dressed as a native. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-04-23 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Aw," Vernique says in a fake pouting tone. "I was looking forward to measuring your size." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	borntolead 2010-04-23 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	Charlie laughed. "It's okay Vernique. You can still be my stylist." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-04-24 12:22 am UTC (link)
	Svalin removed the fur cloak she normally wore and tucked it on the back of her saddle. She then took a piece of cloth and tucked it around her like a cloak. It helped when your normal looking uniform already looked 'primitive'. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-04-24 12:28 am UTC (link)
	Vernique thanked both Ryan and Svalin for their offers of help, winked at Charlie, and approved of the cloak choice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ryanspector 2010-04-24 12:34 am UTC (link)
	“No problem, though all I know what to do with a needle is how to stitch up wounds,” Ryan said as he took out his med kit and grabbed the sewing kit. (Reply to this)(Parent)
