[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6760543, member: 9255"] JOHN PLAY “11 PLAY REVISITED” SEGMENT 137 “MATTERS ON THE MIND” ORALUNE 1, 998 The four of them slowly make their way down a steep hillside near the fort. The large bears’ weight and strength keep them from falling down the steep trail into the deep gorge below them. Avireal takes it all in as she enjoys the country side. Play remains nervous. =John- May I mind-speak with you?= asks Nadia within his mind. =Not sure if I have a choice.= thinks Play. =I do not understand the distrust and hatred between Viorr and yourself. Can you tell me anything about?= =Competed with Augustus for the king’s approval. I don’t make things easy for him….. did you want the short list or the entire truth?= =He has a lot on his mind.

Stay out of my head.” Play snarls out loud which has the other riders look up at him startled. Nadia purses her lips. She knows something but seems she will not or cannot speak it. Near the bottom of the gorge the water has swollen into a small pond. The collapse of the bridge has created a small dam that has closed the waterway until it rose and finally overflows from the bridge’s remains. “Here we are. Look around then we go back up and look for some gnolls.” Declares Commander Daniels. “It has been a long time since the collapse. What do you hope to find?” asks Avireal as she kneels next to Play. “Not really sure. I hope to recognize it when I see it.” He pulls off his pack and takes out a pair of gloves from the side pocket. “Magic?” “Yes. They help me see into an item’s past. Not sure if it will work for something so big as a bridge however.” Play picks up a six inch round piece of worked stone and concentrates. Stretching…. Like a cat in the sun. Stretching from one wall to the other over the gorge. Flex muscles to hold up people. Holding still for years. “Nothing of use there.” He tumbles the piece down the embankment and tumbles into the water. “Hello…..” He kneels over and picks up the metal worked arrow head. Gnoll….. male…. Low rank….. “The weapon should tell you much.” Suggests Avireal. Though she hung back out of respect, Nadia speaks up. “He may learn about the warrior whom last used that arrow head but he may learn nothing of his mother this way.” Play chokes the arrow head into the water. “Have to keep looking…..
