((I apologise that this log is not entirely accurate, part of it was lost due to a surge of people in Silver Tree causing me issues, and part adapted for better narrative due to OOC actions taking place that would not have been concurrent with the actions of slaves over the death of a Jarl, even an unknown one.))
Endy padded over to the stew-pot and was delighted to find that plenty of stew remained. Pouring himself a bowl full rather than suffer slave gruel yet again. He carried it with great care to the outpost overlooking the South border between camp and village and settled himself into a comfortable sitting position, legs dangling over the edge of the outpost wall so that he could admire the view of the waterfall he loved so well outside his new home.
A phrase of the tune of a barely remembered Earth song briefly surfaced in Endy’s mind, he absentmindedly hummed to it before realising what he was doing... and as he tried to capture the song in his mind it fled as fleetingly as it had visited him – further proof perhaps that his memory of his time before being washed up on the shore by the storm that had destroyed Etihad village was never to return, leaving Endy yet again angry that he had no idea who or what he had been, just that he was “barbarian” to those of Gor, betrayed by his accent and mutilation of the Gorean tongue.
Sighing Endy finishes his stew, and heads back to thieves’ cave to was his bowl, his feet echoing down the passage to the main cave, he realises that all the thieves must be out on “the hunt” or off furring with the slaves as both the cave and the camp were deserted.
Thinking for a moment Endy ponders staying at the camp to guard it, he quickly however dismisses the thoughts knowing that one slave on his own would do little to protect the camp, and all he would be able to d would be to hide in the depths of the cave to prevent his loss with none of the village knowing where he was to recover him.
Endy packs his bag and checking the gates to the cave and doors to the camp set off to explore, knowing that a knowledge of the land around the camp would come in useful in case of attack as he would know the areas that were easy to attack and ambush from as well as those where people could hide if a raiding force was too strong.
Going out through the South gate Endy descends the steps to the river, and carefully rowing the boat taking care not to be dragged under by the currents of the waterfall he makes his was to the edge of the waterfall and begins to climb, the mist from the waterfall clinging to his hair, body and clothes his muscles straining with the effort of the climb. Reaching the top he takes out his painting equipment from the bag, and begins to paint as his heart leads him. Thinking over some of the things he has seen in the village so far.

Sitting on the Waterfall
Pondering who Odin is
The long hall
Books!
I wish I had somone to sit with me
((long story short – met up with River, was introduced to Korban, other slaves turned up... and we discovered a dead body with a landmark flag – due to visual issues I had to reboot as my computer was refusing to render anything – I got back as they had made the funeral pyre in the river – because the rest is with other people I am leaving it as the RP itself with only the odd change to spelling or removal or OOC ))
[16:20] Korbin Mortensen: "The lands around have been getting more and more visitors.. The outlaws.. the ferals approaching the cities
[16:20] SeanSean "ILL THINK OF SOMETHING"
[16:21] River: wb
[16:22] Mynx nods a bit
[16:22] Rocco: ( BRB )
[16:23] Korbin Mortensen: how has the pyre developesd... is it ready ..
[16:24] Korbin Mortensen: "A free should say some words... is there a free man in the village that can at least say some words for this man...
[16:24] River: yes
[16:24] River: maybe we should get a master before we do anything
[16:25] Mynx: I belive Master Sean is around?
[16:25] Mynx: I thought I saw his..cloak when came down
[16:26] River: run see if you can find him Mynx and bring him here
[16:26] Mynx: Yes brother
[16:26] Mynx runs off
[16:27] Korbin MortensenKorbin Mortensen digs into his loin cloth the huge bundle of coins within it, secretly draws a tarsk free, only a copper but enough and gently slides it between the dead mans lips to pay for his passage to Valhalla
[16:30] River: tal master
[16:30] SeanSean "tal all whats going on?"
[16:30] Rocco: " Tal, Master."
[16:30] River: we found this man dead on the path
[16:31] SeanSean looks over "any guess where it came from? thieves maybe?"
[16:31] Korbin Mortensen: A warrior of a village or city perhaps jarl...
[16:31] River: all that was on it was this map jarl
[16:31] Korbin Mortensen: "he was well muscled.. like a man who was used to wielding weapons
[16:32] Mynx looks down at them kneeling but she kept standing at the moment. As she watched and listen
[16:32] River: he had been shot many times jarl.
[16:32] SeanSean sighed "Jarl Franz is in the tavern show him the map"
[16:32] River: yes jarl
[16:33] RiverRiver runs back up to the longhouse to show the map to his master
[16:34] SeanSean "alright help bring the body onto land or rather bring it to the healers hut"
[16:34] Rocco reached up, knowing only Korbin and his sister could see which an act from thier vantage. Gripping at his Brothers silks and pulling his face into his lap and his tongue slips between the silky musk and the fold of his leg, his warm tongue slicking the inner area with delight.
[16:35] Korbin Mortensen: "the body has been prepared for the burning Jarl... he washed bathed and has payment for his passage to Valhalla Jarl.. we need a Free Man to speak words to Odin calling upon his taking of this man
((Sean poofed))
[16:42] River: where did the master go that was here
[16:42] Mynx: Tal Jarl
[16:42] Korbin Mortensen: Sacrificed himself to appease Odin
[16:42] Korbin Mortensen: Tal Jarl
[16:42] Mynx: I think he sunk to the bottom
[16:42] Brach : Greetings brothers and sister
[16:43] Korbin Mortensen: tal bro
[16:43] Franziskusclimbs down the hill behind his boy, raising his eyebrows at the gathered lsaves. "Greetings. So... where's the body?"
[16:43] Korbin MortensenKorbin Mortensen lays his hand gently on the fresh wrapped washed and made whole as best they can body of the fallen Jarl
[16:43] Mynx watches them all kneel she wasn’t told to kneel when outside by her last Jarl but she sunk down to her knees for now so not to stand out
[16:45] Brach Brach looks over at Iris and Grins
[16:46] Franziskuslooks into all the baffled faces, waiting for an answer
[16:47] Mynx shurgs a bit "We dont know who it is Jarl"
[16:47] Franziskusslips in the grass and steps into the river, swearing angrily as his boots get wet
[16:48] River: points to the body that is on the small raft they had fashioned
[16:48] Mynx glad she was in he back of the group as she heard the Jarl swearing
[16:48] Korbin Mortensen: He has been bathed and his wounds sealed jarl.. I paid his passage already.. we just need a Free Man to call on Odin to take this man home Jarl!"
[16:49] Brach Brach watches all this in amazed confusion, but takes it in quietly
[16:49] Franziskusfrowns "Oh, you did already. So you don't know who it was? What wounds did he have?"
[16:50] Korbin Mortensen: multiple arrow wounds Jarl
[16:50] River: i did not know his face my master,
[16:51] River: and as korbin said, he had been shot many times
[16:51] Franziskusrubs his chin, considering for a moment
[16:51] Korbin Mortensen: We have the arrows and the flag wrapped to the side Jarl.. so that the scent sleens can allow us to track the murderous bastards?
[16:51] River: there is a flag.
[16:51] Franziskus: And you said, you already sealed his wounds?
[16:52] Franziskus: That was... a bit hasty. What do I care about a stranger?
[16:52] Franziskusshrugs
[16:52] Mynx: Yes Jarl I covered his wounds
[16:52] River: chews on his lip wondering if they did the right thing now
[16:52] Korbin Mortensen: so when he presented to the Halls of Valhalla he would be whole jarl
[16:53] Korbin Mortensen: so when he was brought to life again in the halls he would not be imperfect
[16:53] Franziskus: We could have used the body, shave his hair, put him into white clothes and deliver him to the Kurii as.. uhm... 'resistant initiate' who died in the interrogation
[16:53] River: cant we still my master
[16:53] River: all we did was cleanse him
[16:53] Franziskussighs "Well, but it's too late now, I think. - No, my lil sunshine. When they see the sealed wounds, they will get suspicious"
[16:54] River: if he is dressed will they see the wounds
[16:54] Rocco: " I removed hims arrows, Master. " Said meekly
[16:54] Franziskus: Well... is the pile of wood soaked with thalarion oil?
[16:55] Brach : ((wb))
[16:55] River: I haven’t poured oil yet my master
[16:55] Korbin MortensenKorbin Mortensen rubs his hand against Rocco thigh soothing the half wild man, feeling the skittishness starting to build in the hum of the muscles that rest near mine
[16:56] Franziskus: someone has thalarion oil with him by any coincidence?
[16:57] Franziskus slaps his head "Oh!", and reaches into his pouch for the small bottle he took with him the last night in the longhall
[16:57] Brach : There is soem in teh Hall if not Jarl, I can get it
[16:57] River: looks at the others, "I dont my master"
[16:57] Rocco leans his weight into the back of his brother and watched from over his shoulder. His eyes passivly scanning the Harbor Master as he and shook his head. He didn't have any, he felt the hand steady his nature.
[16:58] Franziskus: Who is the best of you with throwing rocks?
[16:58] Mynx looking at Rocco's back and his marking she watching a bit she finely traced one of his marking she a little curious at markings
[16:58] Brach glances at Korbin suspecting him to be quite proficient
[16:59] Rocco slowly raised his hand. Feeling his sister wipe away the simple sky clay markings he adore his body with
[16:59] Korbin glances around at his brothers and thinks perhaps Rocco or myself had the arm for throwing rocks a good distance
[17:00] Brach Brach nods to himself second guessing himself now that he gets a good look at the wild boy
[17:02] Rocco lowly stood up and showed the Harbor Master his rocks
[17:03] Franziskus looks between Rocco and Korbin, as they couldn't decide he reaches the little bottle with thalarion oil to Rocco "Throw that on the pyre so that it bursts. But aim well so that most of the wood will be soaked by the oil!"
[17:05] Rocco nodded to the Harbor Master and skilfully he flung the glass bottle with force and shattered it on the wood, Saturating it fully. Pulls back his arm showing off the build to his brothers and sister.
[17:05] Brach makes a mental note to carry a vial of thalarion oil in the future as it seems the Jarl has many uses for it
[17:06] Korbin watches Roccos body flex and the look on his face as he hurls the jar, leaning back a bit as the glass jug explodes against the wood spilling and spraying the oil scented with that particular scent of tharlarion oil.
[17:07] Franziskus smiles "Very well", and watches the oil soaking in all over the wood. He takes an arrow from his quiver and reaches down to his boy. He rips a little piece of cloth from his slave's tunic at the thigh and wraps it around the tip of the arrow
[17:08] River: watches in silence, his head bowed in respect for the dead man. He didn’t know who he was and he could have been murderer for all he knew but still he was a free
[17:11] Franziskus draws his bow from his shoulders
[17:12] Brach scambles up the hill to kneel by river
[17:13] Mynx moves behind Rocco and goes back to tracing his markings as he watches in silent.
[17:13] Franziskus holding his bow and the arrow in his left hand, reaches with his right into his pouch again for Flintstones.
[17:14] Rocco is tempted to turn around and playfully bite his sister but offers his deepest respect to the dead free and watched the Harbour Master set his free.
[17:15] Mynx she watched the free shoot as she remains silent
[17:17] Franziskus draws his bow from his shoulders
[17:18] Brach Brach moves close taking the flint from the Jarl
[17:20] Franziskuswaits for Brach to set the cloth on the tip of the arrow on fire, wishing he would have thought to soak some of the oil into the cloth before he gave it to Rocco
[17:22] Brach strikes the filnt, once the arrow is knocked, igniting the cloth wrapped tip with a shower of sparks
[17:24] Franziskus nods as the arrow is finally on fire. He aims at the pyre....
[17:24] fire arrow (H&S N2V2): The Flame starts to grow bigger
[17:24] Rocco would find himself hard pressed if the Master missed.
[17:24] RiverRiver watches as the arrow hits its mark and the oil soaked body bursts into flames, consuming the unknown warrior. He hangs his head sad that the man will not be mourned by anyone and probably never will be
[17:25] Fire: The Flames are weak and failed to take over further
[17:26] fire arrow (H&S N2V2): The Flame starts to grow bigger
[17:26] Brach Brach hands the Jarl his flints with a sombre look at the pyre
[17:26] Fire: The Flames burn the environment!
[17:26] Franziskus: there you go!
[17:26] Rocco steps back some
[17:27] Fire: The Flames are weak and failed to take over further
[17:27] River: crosses himself as the flames consume the pyre sending it to the bottom of the river
[17:28] Franzis longer hair: River Airy runs their fingers through Franziskus's soft hair.
[17:29] Mynx moves up the hill to sit with the rest of them relaxing a bit
[17:29] Franziskuspulls his boy into his arms
[17:30] Endy sighs sadly, still being unsure why there strange northerners offered no prayers to the priest kings
[17:30] River snuggles close to his master and watches as the flames burn down
[17:31] Franzis longer hair: River Airy runs their fingers through Franziskus's soft hair.
[17:31] Franzis longer hair: River Airy leans close to Franziskus and inhales the sweet scent of his hair.
[17:31] Mynx moves to sit behind Endy
[17:34] Franziskus: Well, take the evidences to the longhall. We will see later, what's this all about
[17:34] Franziskus: Come, mine! I'm tired. It was a long day as usual!
[17:34] Brach : yes Jarl
[17:34] River: yes my master
[17:35] River: waves bye to his friends and follows his master home
[17:35] Mynx: Safe path Jarl!
[17:35] Endy whispers: waves goodbye to River
[17:35] Franziskusnods to the other slaves "Safe paths, boys and girl. Be cautious with the Jarls. They might be still around"
[17:35] Endy: May you path be light Master
[17:35] Endy: Serve with fire River
[17:36] Franziskus fights his way through the bushes
[17:36] Mynx: Shall we head to the longhall?
[17:37] Brach Brach nod to his sister
[17:38] Mynx leads the way
[17:40] Brach pulls his blue-eyed brother to his feet offering him a brief but gentle smile
[17:40] Mynx looks to Endy "Unless we are keeping you from something..I know you’re not in the longhall often"
[17:41] Brach : stumbles his way through the undergrowth and back on the path
[17:41] Mynx pulls some sticks out of her hair
[17:41] Endy blushes
[17:42] Endy: "I... have... um... heard about the longhall"
[17:42] Brach grins "Yes not the best place for a white silk to go to."
[17:43] Mynx smiles and then blinks at her own status of silks "No-where is safe for a white silk"
[17:43] Brach looks at the boys metal "loin cloth" with a sad look on his face
[17:43] Endy blushes, his chastity belt again having given away broadcast status to everyone. His eyes lower with shame
[17:44] Brach goes to his brother and lifts his chin, be not sad of your status brother as the Jarls tell me you are worth 10 times the rest of us
[17:44] Mynx looks to the chastity belt she going over to it and poking it
[17:45] Brach : some Jarl will pay well for your virtue
[17:45] Endy blushes...
[17:45] Endy: "or a Mistress"
[17:45] Endy: *shudders*
[17:46] Brach blanches at the thought but nods "I suppose."
[17:46] Brach : who holds you key brother?
[17:46] Mynx she suddenly hugs Endy "I’d buy it for you Brother!" giggles a bit "If I could"
[17:46] Endy blushes deeper and bites is lip
((A Giani then appeared – I was to tired and did not understand some if the information OOC that it was a Giani not a Larl))
[17:46] Brach : Ahhhh! A larl
[17:47] Brach : Endy come away!
[17:47] Mynx looks to the giani "Its sooooo cute!!"
[17:47] EndyEndy whistes for Pluizig
[17:47] Brach : a baby larl is not cute sister!
[17:47] Pluizig: I'm waiting here! O_O
[17:48] Endy: "Pluizig - defend"
[17:48] Pluizig: You have 10 seconds to chose an Avatar
[17:48] Pluizig: I'm attacking CrimsonWolf Sangria
[17:48] Mynx looks forward "Can i have please!!"
[17:48] Mynx she takes a few steps forward
[17:49] Endy: "heel Pluizig"
[17:49] Pluizig: Attacking Cancelled.
[17:49] Endy watches the baby Larl carefully
[17:50] Mynx takes a few feet forward toward the giani
[17:50] Brach : Iris no, it is wild and will grow up to be huge and eat people!
[17:51] CrimsonWolf Sangria: backs away being scared of two leggs
[17:51] Endy reaches into his bag and takes out some dried bosk meat used for traveling and throws it mean the black baby Larl to appease it
[17:51] Mynx she was still not used to Gor so she watched it back away "aww but its just a cute kitty"
[17:52] CrimsonWolf Sangria: :sees something thrown into the bushes i smell it out of curiosity and begins t munchon it ovingl
[17:52] Mynx nods to herself "I am going to go get it" She steps forward going to go find it in the bushes
[17:52] Endy: "Pluizig - go hide"
[17:53] Endy: I would not if I were you sister
[17:53] Brach Brach runs back to the hall to get help, unsure what to do
[17:53] Endy: they can get very vicious
[17:53] Mynx frowns a bit "But its so small"
[17:53] Endy: and wild
[17:54] Mynx looks to Endy "weren’t you tamed too though" she stuck her tongue out at him
[17:55] Endy: "Tamed sister? not quite yet I think"
[17:55] Brach shouts: Mynx found a baby Larl, help!
[17:55] CrimsonWolf Sangria: notices something flowing and darts out and pounces on the gown and gently paws and bites at it
[17:55] Brach shouts: Mynx found a baby Larl, help!
[17:55] Mynx blinks a bit "aww he yelling.."
[17:56] CrimsonWolf Sangria: smells fish and his eyes light up
[17:56] Mynx she looks to her bucket and tosses it a fish
[17:56] CrimsonWolf Sangria: looks around while smelling then looks up seeing the fish must be on this two legg and wondered how to get some fish
[17:57] CrimsonWolf Sangria: notices one lying out of he bucket and chases it down and begins to munch on it
[17:57] Brach : hey that's food for the longhall!
[17:57] Mynx smiles as she takes a few fish and places one out from the bushes and tries to lure it out
[17:57] Mynx looks to Brach "No I just caught this!"
[17:58] Brach : yeah, for the village
[17:58] Mynx blinks "well..it hasn’t been in the village yet"
[17:58] Mynx looks to the giani "if I am beat for it so be it"
[17:58] CrimsonWolf Sangria: finishes the first fish sniffing around seeing a 2nd fish id come out of the bushes cautiously to eat it
[17:58] Brach smirks
[17:59] Endy: "I need to return to camp, I hope to see you again"
[17:59] Mynx smiles and takes a few steps back placing another fish on the ground
[17:59] Brach backs up nearly falling off the bridge as the cat scampers out
[17:59] Mynx looks to Endy "Aww alright safe travels" she winks at him
[18:00] Endy waves to the brother and sister (see you around)
