Ruins of Mahanaga - Chapter 7

[Bitom]

Rhokti grins and oots and Pazi shows Nakan the dessicated Yuan-ti hand she wears around her neck. "Not dead, but fled. Many days have passed, and we have found the Yogi. The others are with him in Mahanaga. Hamin is dead, fallen to the corruption of the swamps. Bhallukka is faling or fallen, Azora is part Deva and it makes Ghanji very angry. Welcome back!"

Rhokti grins widely. "Come, take our hands and I will take you back to the Yogi."

[Wayloss]

Nakan's eyes grow wide, Rhokti in his usual matter-of-fact retwllling of events shocks Nakan.
"Hamin dead? Another Brahmin from my temple falls, and Bhalluka in falling? What has been done to prevent this? Azora part deva? That would make Ghanji angry, though I'm not surprised, after Kalyani and the twins nothing is impossible."
He takes the offered hand.

[Wargie]

*At the camp*

Toranoshi sits perched on a piece of broken roof like a bird of prey staring down upon an empty courtyard. He scratches his now beardstubbed chin and throws a quick glance over his shoulder, though no shouts of alarm is heard from anywhere among the ruins.

...might as well check the temple while I am at it...

The dhuka rises and then steps off the broken roof almost casually. As he falls he stretches out his arms and catches a beam, from which he swings a few times quite idly, resembling much of Rhotki before he drops to the courtyard almost without any sound. Glancing around one final time, the dhuka moves into the ruins of the temple and begins to look around in the outer rooms without finding much. In the end he shrugs and begins to make his way to the inner sanctum.

**At the Camp**

Sujata thinks a moment on Ghanji's question. "Would it benefit us to seek out trouble as it were?" She stops then goes on, "We might be required to spend some time here waiting for the others. It might be a good idea to at least know what still resides here."

Display

Sorry. I've been really sick and am just getting back to work.

[TetNak]

Shamad helps Nakan up, "There is much to explain," he says, looking over Nakan's wound. "Your eye," he starts, shaking his head, "Must have been damaged when you were turned to stone." He says nothing else about it, really, "Come, Rhotki will take us back to the yogi and the others. Prepare to enter the void my friend."

[Vardaen]

** Camp **

Ghanji shakes his head at Sujata, "Lets not get ourselves into and trouble. We never know what shape Shamad and Rhokti will be in when they return. If we are in the middle of a fight, it might bode poorly for them or use with the Brahmin gone." He rubs his wounds from yesterday against the Deathcoil and the archers. "Toranoshi is smart and skilled enough to scout the area without bringing any danger down on us. Besides, they should be back soon if they didn't run into any trouble."

He glances at Pusan, "No more riddles Yogi, no more riddles. We will find the Dhali Lama even if it means we let our counterparts complete another piece of the Prophecy unmolested."

[Bitom]

Rhokti makes everyone hold hands and then drags them off through the void, aiming for his little hut.

[TetNak]

Shamad takes hold of Nakan and Rhotki's hand, ready to depart, he does not take Vivec's hand if he can help it at all. "We should be able to rest awhile when we return," he says to Nakan as they prepare.

** bamhpf **

The smell of ozone, and the sudden shift into the Void.

Darkness. Nothing. Everything. The connection of all things and the absence of it all. The feeling is enough to send Nakan into a fit of vomiting, his fragile system unable to handle it the moment the quartet arrive just outside the hut. The four arrive in the camp, Nakan among the four. The muni's face is terribly scared, a huge claw mark runs up from hsi chin, across his cheak and through hit left eye. Clearly blind in the one eye, for its white and black, dead inside, he has however returned to the land of the flesh.

Ghanji and the others, save for Toranoshi are there around the center where Rhokti returns, standing guard. The Shikari nods with a smile, "Welcome back Nakan Prasad" he says with a clearly happy inflection and genuine happiness.

Sujata nods at Ghanji and continues to keep an eye out for possible attacks. When Rhotki and the others bamphf back into camp, she smiles warmly to Nakan. "Welcome back." She says to him, then looking over the others, "How was your journey?"
