== is by the cliffs at the back of the steading lands ==

: says to ALL:.... ..feeling the wind upon her face she stared off into the everlasting waters that stretched out into the sea...pondering thoughts entrapped within her mind...she tried to avoid the agonizing screams they emitted...yet somehow...the seeping echos broke through...

== is on one of the paths around Hulneth ==

: says to ALL:.... ...heading down the path she moved away from the cliffs...she had a trip to plan for...she hoped she could see him one more time before she left....perhaps he would be avaliable to escort her in this journey...the long robes brushed agianst her legs in the wind...she was still not used to the woolen material of kirtles and insisted on keeping her robes with her...she would need to find her veils for this trip...she wasn't about to go showing those not of her home her face...arms wrapped around herself in a chill and she moved silently towards the cabin to finish setting up her affairs for travel...

== is at a personal cabin ==

: says to ALL:.... ...the ship was stocked and ready to go already...now she just needed to aquire escort to the marsh area of the vosk delta...stepping within the cabin she looked around....she had made arrangements with a free woman to watch over the children in her absence...studing as of late the habits and the history she could find on the rencers she was or atleast hoped...she prepared for this...moving through the cabin she walked into the childrens room....leaning over the crib where they slept she brushed a hand through the thick dark hair of Abaddon..."Mommy will only be gone a short while my sweets."....she whispered glancing over to Be'Light...."Fear not for you shall be looked after."....she said softly leaning down and pressing a kiss to Abaddons forhead...moving over to Be'Lights crib she pressed a kiss to the baby that shifted in her dream filled slumber...

== is at a personal cabin ==

: says to ALL:.... ...moving out of the childrens room she walked into the main room and set a kettle of Kalda on...walking over to the desk she picked up the scroll of inventory she was taking with her of medical supplies she was gonna use to trade...in case medical supplies were not needed she had the pouch of silvers that Aldoran had left for her she could use to barter with...what she had so far loaded upon the ship was:
3 Casterizing Irons
10 Pliers
20 botas of 9 percent saline solution
5 bottles of numbing salve
50 reels of vulo-gut and bosk thread
20 syringes of antibiotics
20 scapels
5 stethoscopes

...she was thinking perhaps if the area there is as primitive as the scripts she had read then perhaps such medical items would be needed and surely she could barter with such a grand supply of them...

== is at a personal cabin ==

: says to ALL:.... ...fixing herself a mug of the kalda she rolled the scrolls up and tucked them into the pack she was taking with her....moving around the room she sipped the kalda and set the large bowl upon the mantel by the fire to keep warm and moved into her bedchambers...gathering another set of robes and her veils she laid them upon the sleeping couch...walking over to the small vanity mirror she peered at her reflextion a moment....sitting down she glanced to the closed wooden box there...pins for her hair lay within...also a vial of ost venum to use for protection...she would slip one pin in within the lining of her clothing and the others upon a leather band around her wrist...pulling open a drawer near her she glanced down to the dagger that lay within...she had it made for Aldoran but he had plenty and instead of giving it to him she had kept it...it might come in handy in case of trouble out upon the seas...

== is on one of the paths around Hulneth ==

: says to ALL:.... ...moving about the cabin she stepped in again and checked on the children....giving instructions to the woman watching them...smiling softly as she glanced down to them before moving over and grasping her pack to slip across her shoulder...Bruno was there to accompanie her with this trip...pinning her veils on she moved to the entrence and stepped out of the cabin to head down the path...glancing into the wind that brushed the veils in along her face as she walked....Bruno glanced to her and she offered a slight smile that was hidden by the veils...she was no merchant...but this was not something new for her considering her father was a merchant...she used to keep his records...so something like this and traveling upon a ship was not something she was quesy about...glancing up as she stepped up on the beach she sighed softly as she walked across the rocks towards the boat to take her to the ship...

== is standing upon a large pebble beach close to the jetty ==

: says to ALL:.... ...Bruno held a hand out and she offered the pack to him and lifted her skirts up to step into the water that was bitterly cold around her feet and ankles...moving to the boat she stepped within and shivered pulling the cloak around her shoulders tighter as the wind whipped across the water...Bruno joined her within the vessel and she took the pack back and set it upon her lap...the boat pushed off with the help fo two men to man the vessel into the water from the rocky shore towards the ship that was within deeper waters....

: says to ALL:.... ....the boat pulled up to the side of the ship and the men tossed lines in to the crew on board...securing it stable against the ship the rope ladder was rolled down the side...Bruno gripping the pack from her tossed it over his shoulder and she looked up the ladder...she hated this part...gripping the sides she pressed feet into the rung and pushed herself up...closing her eyes slightly partially as she moved up the ladder that slightly swayed agianst the hull of the ship...her heart hammered within her chest...the wind lashed as if to rip her clean off the side of the ship and send her out into the sea...

: says to ALL:.... ...her hands reaching the top a crew man on each side gripped her arms...helping, well, more so nearly dragging her up the remainer of the way...muttering all the same about a woman being on board the ship in the first place...it was after all her ship...but she knew the mens superstitions and she offered a meek smile as Bruno came up behind her...taking the pack she slipped her arm within the loop and held it against her as she moved towards the steps leading into the belly of the ship and her cabin...Bruno of course followed to ensure her safety to the cabin...his hand resting upon the hilt of his sword as he walked glaring at the men who might dare to try something...stepping down into the belly of the ship she moved the narrow passageways of the medium class round ship to her cabin...pushing open the door she stepped within and glanced to Bruno..."Thank you, I will be fine, but stay close."...said softly as she placed the pack down upon the sleeping couch and lit a lantern...before he went to close the door she called out..."Please send a slave with some kalda and fruits."...he nodded and closed the door heading out she assumed to get drunk once finding a slave...

: says to ALL:.... ...she felt the ship move once the knock upon the door and the small voice called through..."Mistress?"....she moved to the door and opened it...smiling to the girl she took the Kalda and tray and closed the door...setting it down upon a low table she walked over to the couch and sat down removing the wet slippers and setting them aside....pausing she moved over to the door and peered out..."You!"...she called to the slave...the girl stopped and looked to her..."I need fresh coals for the brazzer to keep the room warm."....the girl nodded and set out to it...moving back in she closed the door and slipped on a fresh pair of socks as she sipped the kalda...

: ...staying within her cabin...it was what Free Women did...they didn't roam about the ship when at sea unless they wanted to be found...in other ways...then what they came upon the ship as...that was something her father had taught to her...moving along the cabin she stopped glancing down at the scrolls a bit longer...studing them...she looked over the map as she read occasionally tracking the direction and the destination of the ship...she had to stop and pick up Hatcher on the way to the Vosk Delta still...

: ...the price she was paying for his escort was not a cheap one...moving back her eyes drifted across the scrolls and she leaned back against the cushions of the sleeping couch....reading more on the stories of the Rencers she could find...she wanted to be knowledgable...atleast to know what it was she was dealing with...it seemed for the longest time they were actually rounded up by Port Kar and collared as slaves to man the oars upon the ships...that was no longer something that was done...sipping the kalda she stared at the plate of food resting there upon the edge of the desk left untouched...she was not much hungry and it would wait a bit longer before she sent for the slave again...

: ...setting teh scrolls aside she laid back upon the couch...pulling the fur over her she heard as the slave entered the cabin with a soft knock and removed the plate of food and then added more coals to the brazzer to keep the room warm...she heard the kettle of kalda set upon the desk...she always drank that...it was her favorite and a mighty cheap drink to make...the slave left and she rested...letting herself fall into sleep...she knew she was still in the northern waters...sleeping would be difficult once she was closer to Kar....then she would be near the vosk delta and the rencers...and the sooner she got that done...the sooner she could return home...

says to .: The Odd One Out :: ...the ship making it to the vosk delta she came up from the cabin and up to the main deck...wearing the older robes and the veils she looked across the railing of the ship..."This is the vosk delta?"....it has been ages since she had first handedly seen it herself...a smile drifted across sweet lips as the men readied the skiffs and boats to take her deeper into the vosk with...

says to ------------cloaked : I had been on deck as I was ordering the crew to get the ship ready to tie down near the shore over to the left of us, I was looking to the 3 crewmen who were gathering the medical supplies and I tilted My head and looked across towards you as I spoke '' wait a moment we need to sort these men '' I looked back to the men then and motioned for the ship to pull into the left of the water were it went shallow the tide would get us free in a day or 2 when we returned as the ship came to a stop I motioned the crew Men to start taking the supplies over to the side of the ship and get them down to the skiffs '' aye woman, this is the vosk delta, we go by skiff from here so gather your things and get ready. '' I returned to grab My full length hunting coat and placed it upon My form as the men began getting the supplies to the skiffs

says to .: The Odd One Out :: ...she nodded moving back to the cabin...feeling a slight lurch of the floor under her feet as the ship came to a stop in the shallow water...she glanced to you a moment as you just, took over and then headed back to the cabin to gather her things...she had the newer robes she just purchased after the childrens birth to wear...she was wering the older ones into the water and slip the new ones over them once getting closer...the medical supplies would be best and she was hesitant but left the silver as it would only add insult to those that probally don't really use coinage...tossing the thick cloak across her shoulders she latched it in place and pulled the hood up...it was a moment before she stopped and wlaked over to the chest...the pins she had brought with her she knelt down and opened the case...it was always best for a woman to keep safe...even if by her own means...settling the pins in place along her clothing sewn lines she glanced to the dagger...she doubted you would allow it to her if known where it was...tucking it under the length of robes she hid it upon her body but kept it within easy reach in case of attack...

says to ------------cloaked : I nodded to you as you disappeared I figured 3 men upon each skiff and 2 boats would suffice, the boats had to be hired as I motioned a man off to find someone who dealt with it, pointing to the men to hurry, time was money after all as the medical supplies were swiftly took of the boat and began to be loaded onto the skiffs the heavier loads would be on the smaller boats, he returned saying he had hired 2 boats though smaller than I had hoped as the men began to tie the supplies safely and securely to the crafts we would be using, I looked across to you and the drop to the water below as I smirked a little and motioned several men to await an order. '' we get upon the skiff now so after you '' I motioned with My left hand moving to grab My heavy pack and flung it over the side as the men caught it.

says to .: The Odd One Out :: ...she nodded...tossing her pack down to Bruno one of her guardsmen that you had met before and then stepped across the railing to the rope ladder....making her way slowly down she glanced to the side of the ship...yes...she really did hate this part...the ladders scared her....finally making it down to the unsteady motion of the skiff she grasped upon one of the poles tha twould push it into the water...she looked to the other men and the boats...making sure the supplies were loaded...she knew well she would have little say in the haggling of price...but she wasn't going to just sit side seat and let you do all the work either...

says to ------------cloaked : I muttered lowly under My breath as I was going to throw you over to the men for them to catch you as I moved to tell Carlos, he was incharge till I returned to this ship. I moved to the rope ladder and swunfg over as I started to lower Myself to as the rope ladder was negated in a short period of time, My feet moved to splash into the shallow water as I motioned Bruno then to secure and fill the supplies into the 2 boats, I inclined My head to him telling him he would take the lead skiff with 2 other Men, I would bring up the rear, I looked to you n pointed to our skiff, as I started to move around th

says to .: The Odd One Out :: ...she watched you as you sent Bruno off to the lead skiff...she would say she was not too fond of that idea...and neithe rwas Bruno by the looks upon his face...."It is alright Bruno."....she said softly...the wind lashed at the robes and the veils and she crouched down looking into the pack a moment before setting it aside to make sure it stays upon her skiff with her...settling down to her knees upont eh skiff you said would be ours she watched as you tested all the skiffs out for security reasons...she made sure to take a mental note of the supplies tha twere on board the other skiff...she wasn't about to forget nothing...she would say...she was slightly nervous of this adventure...she assume there was a day or so if not longer to navigate through the marsh towards the rencers...when a though occured to her...why not just harvest some rence of her own...but that would be rude and in short stealing...better to barter and deal for a portion of the crop instead...

says to .: The Odd One Out :: .l..she blinked as you bellowed out then nodded her head..."Yes I have everything that is needed."....witha nod of her head she pulled the hood of the cloak up across her features...tucking in the blond curls that danced within the sunlight along her cheeks..."How long into the marsh will we need to go?"...she asked lifting the glacier haunted gaze up to you....her eyes hardened, cold almost...not as soft as they once were ages ago when she first met you...pullingout a scroll she glanced across the map...."Shouldn't take long..depending how far into the marsh."...she said softly speaking to herself then umping..dropping the scrolls and the map intot eh water with a sharp short cry that was quickly silenced by her hand across her mouth at the site of the water tharlarion pulling up so close to the skiff...she looked to the beast and pulled away from the edge more to the middle of the skiff...

says to ------------cloaked : I listened to your words as you spoke, I tilted My head as you uttered them, '' depending upon how quick I set the pace '' I gave you a slow sly smile then as I chuckled dryly as you dropped the map into the water, looking to it as you fell silent and moved to the centre of the skiff, the thalarion just looked to see what was going on, inquisitive if you will it seemed as I waited for it to move away before I moved the long pole to pull back the papered maps and lowered to grip them, pulling them out with My left hand and throwing them near your boted feet as you rested in the middle of the skiff. before moving to push the skiff off and getting us started as already we were behind the others. '' it will take a couple of days if I take My time, I am in no rush, the main thing is safety. '' I fell silent then as I moved to grip the long pole and started to feed it though My powerful grip till it touched the bottom of the water and we began to move across the water at liesure '' hope you have something to read or occupy your mind, it can get boring at times '' I chuckled and looked at the waters and the gap between us and the next skiff as I began to get a rhythym going

says to .: The Odd One Out :: ...she grasped the maps...lookign to the ruin of them they were now...grunting softly she muttered a small..."Thank you."...then pulled her pack closer...would be best for her to make a copy of them before the ink completely ruins them...she can't afford to lose her maps...she lived with them...she was not the type of woman to just go places...she enjoyed knowing where she was and what was around her at all times...she was prepared....guess her father had taught her that....there was always chances of shaddy deals with some pirates or such she would have to study maps to know the quickest and safest route back to the Jungles...or even navigating through those waters...was not something that was easily accomplished...if one didn't know the layout of the land it would be likely for them to drop from Ua falls then anything else...she tended to her business...glancing around as she looked to the thick reeds that ungrown around the water...occasionally drifting her gaze upwards to the passing Ul that would streak the sky bloclking out the sun...she had known they hunted around these here parts...

says to ------------cloaked : I inclined My head to you as you thanked Me, I was not a harsh person on the whole but Gorean yes as I contiued to feed the long pole through My grasp and moving liesurely with the water, I just hated hard work and I had got used to being lazy '' not a problem '' was all I uttered, I did not look to you yet as I got a nice steady rhtyhm going moving oacross the water, gentle splashes of the odd oversized wave splashing up onto the skiff as we proceeded along, the wind gentle thankfully upon My face, looking around a little taking in the colours around as the pole hit the bottom of the water time after time as My arms n shoulders kept us moving along.

says to .: The Odd One Out :: ...she didn't look back up to you...instead her eyes feasted on the sights around her...the land as different as it was from eveything else she had ever seen before....and she had seen some wierd stuff before...pulling her water bota from the pack she removed the stopper and took a small swallow...it was best to let the water save for as long as possibly....pushing the stopper back wtihin the skins neck she placed the skin back into the pack....moving to her scrolls she tried to busy herslef in reading stories she had already read before before looking up to you...."You have met with the rencers before havent you?"....she asked curiously...you had corrected her on their behavior...told her they were smart and cunning...so obviously you knew something of them...

says to ------------cloaked : My roughly surfaced hands let the pole move through My grip as it moved to the bottom of the water pushing with My feet into the skiff, not overly so to cause it to sway just enough to keep a nice slow steady pace going. I fed the long length through My palms time and time again as My legs and shoulders moved the skiff along, it was an old routine I had done many times in era's gone by but not in quite a while had I done this, recalling times in My head I had done it drunk upon the islands of rence after several to many beers, '' yes ofcourse I have been to the rence many times before '' I fell silent as a loud animalistic nnoise rang out from the depths of the trees pushing a little faster as it sounded non to good '' yes I know Cyruss, Durr, Tryst, Kain from the rence '' I fell silent then as I knew others but that would be for conversation later we had a long ways to travel and I wanted to get a good start.
