[ Private Residence - Somewhere ]
-- In one of the private residences somewhere in the City --
says to ALL: I had slept well in Essa,s cylinder .. was early
and I had Been sent News to Meet Bubba at the docks early... I
was pleased for This had meant My Ship would almost be home...
Tiberius must have finished The Business On The Thassa.. and
would bring The Lady Ny home .. I gathered my Cape and a few
belongings as had been mentioned in the message and made my way
from The cylinder stopping on the street out the front and
taking in a few deep Breaths of the Fresh air....

[ Cobblestone Street - Somewhere in White Water ]
--Somewhere on one of many cobblestone streets that weave
through the city--
says to ALL:
My steps were Long for I was running late and I knew Bubba would
be on a tight scheduled and he hated when I was late. As I
rounded the corner to Head to The docks I looked Up and out over
The view of the docks... My ship still Not at the docks nor out
in the distant Voslk waters.. I started to feel a little
concerned... was then I say another of my serpents at the docks
and my crews Loading the small vessel I was Now concerned......

[ Vosk Docks - South ]
-- On the docks of White Water working, unloading or loading a
cargo vessel. People arriving and departing White Water --
says to ALL: Making way down the Hill to the docks I met Bubba
at the gates he handed me a Script Marked with Tiberius's Seal
and spoke soft....
”get on board We can read it when we have set sail... it would
be But a Three day Trade that was needed doing and You would be
doing it.... “ Listening I moved Over the plank that would take
me to a seat at The bow and the men all began to chant softly as
the crew ready to row and leave the dock... I sat and waited for
the serpent to turn from the docks then the Ores were set to the
water

[ Vosk River - South ]
-- On the Vosk leaving or arriving in White Water. Can also be
fishing from the docks --
says to ALL: The rowers ores hit the water and then one by one
they called out ….”Row” and soon each had become one as the ship
ran over the water in the direction of Green Cliffs once
again....small lantern hung from the Masts as the ship glided
its way over the smooth tide The flag of Tiberius's Fleet waved
in the wind as I rested back to read the Note That he had sent
along for Me re trade....I had wondered why I traveled with 4
crates that bubba had stacked on board... Now I saw .. it would
be to Pack the 100 pots into secure for the trip from Green
cliffs to the Markets... It had been some time since I had seen
my friend but this proved her words that she would always Know
what I was doing.... for word had been sent and here I was on My
way to finalize one of her trades again for her...I was impress
for she would have some interesting herb for Essa as payment of
my time....plus good food and conversation no doubt... I lent
back and lay against the furs I would have a sleep there was a
lot of travel to do and Buy the sounds of it time was
short[/center]

Deep Breath Looking over seeing Bubba He had not slept But was
Happy .. as he Looked forward ...I stood pulling one of the furs
over my Shoulder and made way down to where Bubba stood and
gripped The neck Of the Serpent... Looking out Over the glorious
cove of Green Cliff... Tiberius Fleet still moored at The deeper
area of The cove... My Ship The Lady Nyah still Between two of
the Other ships... The docks were full of people all happy to
see visitors to The Cove.... and when you Looked Out over The
fields you could see all the slaves working them Early Before
the heat of the day.....

at the edge of the forest in the (safe) trading point
says to ALL:
it had been a rough venture though the four frames that were
created to hold 25 pots each seemed to fare well in some rather
remote areas. The group took turns hauling them so that no time
was wasted and no one got careless with load while doing so. It
had been some time that Whisper had seen the glorious area
though with the time it was taking us all to get here, many
thoughts had passed in the minds of each of us in memories. We
were all pressed to continue to get to the Trading Point with
little to non set backs while the scout in lead aided much to
find the best ways in direction. By ease of calls out we had
finally met our destination and the ease of each of our faces
had shown that.

says to Ethan Ofeigr BrewerSkjer: it would be soon in the
meeting with my dear friend and the lot that was brought would
soon find their way on to the Market. Half the task was just
getting here and the rest would be eagerly waited out in meeting
up with NyAh once again. Thinking it would be fun to gift her
with a basket of fresh eggs in the reuniting but thinking 100
pots would be just as good. So for now a fire would be set in
the pit allowing the small billow of smoke to show that traders
were there and wait it out while taking this time to get some
rest, food and relax a bit.

in the Long House
says to ALL: I had Been in the Long House and had slept for some
time waiting to hear word That My Friend and trade partner would
be in the safe area that Tiberius had organised for my Meeting..
.. Ity had been some time since Nyah and Whisper had linked
up... but That never seemed to make a difference it was always a
meeting that seemed to have had no time between meetings... I
was excited to Hear from her and to know that all was well...
....
was then That the door of the Great Hall opened and Bubba
entered moving Over to My table and hit the top Hard to catch my
attention....
"NYAH... the fires tell tale trade is welcome the small group of
hunters waited outside as I gathered my things... A fur attached
to My back Holding my bow and 10 arrows..... one would not Know
if those bloody larls were still out and about.....
I left the long house and Made way to the Path ... scouts to
lead the way hunters to scare off any beasts.... My steps strong
...as I moved off along That path

says to ALL: A shrill call was heard which meant that the smoke
created had been seen. A swift run to the look over would show
that a group was heading up to the point. I had hoped that all
were in a good mood with lots of rest and full belly's because
it wasn't going to be much easier getting the loads of these
pots back to the docks but as it were, half the battle is
already over and I could feel the excitement grow knowing that
time would again be shared with NyAh.

on the road between the village and forest
says to ALL: The scouts informed Me of the time it would take...
I was happy with That .. I should Make it to The trading post
and back in time to get the merchandise back to the Market in
the time Whisper had wanted.... Tiberius had The route marked
and was happy to leave on the Next tide.... so I would have to
get my self sorted ..... The men Moved alot faster then I Nyah
was tall for a woman but they were Much taller.... she ran her
fingers through Her Main of Blonde curls and started to gain on
the scouts...."HOW FAR" she called out and with that the Scout
turned and pointed to the smoke... and waved to the track that
led off to my right..... we turned down that path and continued
....
was then we Moved up a Rise a little and looked upon an opening
The men all stopped and Looked about... checking the area and
Motioned for me to go forward for all was safe for now.... I
moved towards The small area where i saw a figure that I was
sure to be who I was looking for ... as I got closer I noticed
The creates I smiled for it was time

together. Moving back to you, the bag would be placed in your
lap while already smelling the various herbs and other
gatherings that had been collected for some time. "There is a
few small vials of scented oils that I also though You might
enjoy as well the gathering of some special herbs and vines,
spores and what not's knowing that they will be appreciated.
Also some thick and soft fur pelts along with a cap for You and

interesting and wonderful things and I had told Essa of the
herbs and goodies you May have for Me to give her.....I listened
as you spoke... taking in all and "Your vials I shall keep for
myself they remind me of you and Essa will love the herbs vines
and spores...yes they will be appreciated" I paused and then

might bring in stories as to exactly where these pots came from.
All Puddy tats are not so bad.. Watching how You brought light
surrounding you by the smile I cherish always while looking over
the gatherings, listening to your voice that had been missed for
lengths of time.

that was only a little bit crushed some from being in a tight
fitting pack was also produced and handed to you with all the
information along with the script that had been torn down from a
message board that provided who the pots went to. "This should
suffice as the paperwork needed of info for you as well. I think
that just meeting with you and getting these things where they
belong plus the payments to you and Your Crew, along with the
travel time and the use of Your ship should be a good payment
and our next meeting should be more of a pleasure then one of
such critical timing as we have it now. I look forward to seeing
you this second time around and we shall feast My Friend"

....My hand reached out to Take the piece of rence paper I didnt

: *…The name Nyah of the Merchants was not unknown and indeed
like any good merchant, who most times are keen on advertising
and making themselves available to potential customers and
transactions, was not one cloaked or shrouded in much mystery
which is why it was easy to track down the warehouse she had
come to rent in this particular location…The message she had
reportedly posted on the public boards to “Lady Vonda” was still
in -Laryk’s- possession and while his first impulse was to
abandon this particular transaction based on what seemed to be a
case of mistaken identity, potentially highlighting a compromise
somewhere in the supply chain and perhaps contacts leaking
information, something told him to investigate fully before
moving on…The line between paranoia and caution was rather thin
after all and falling too heavily on the side of paranoia at
every turn in delicate matters could spell missed opportunities,
chances discarded out of fear rather than facts leading to a
failure to complete vital objectives. No, he’d rather know for
certain that the merchant was indeed dealing genuinely in the
shipment he had inquired after…who knew that pottery had such an
important role to play but with the harvest season concluding it
most certainly did though not on its own. When combined with oil
and acids the pots could become weapons, ones that might prove
effective in the fight that most felt was coming despite not
knowing exactly from which direction. Uncertainty hung over so
much, like his efforts here today, but conferring with the men
who had been staking out the warehouse nearby for the past
couple days while issuing bribes to specific individuals,
-Laryk- waited to hear that all was done to his instructions
meaning the way was clear to him…*

: *…The meeting taking place on a street corner café nearby was
rather quick and involved the three men reporting to –Laryk-
what they had learned of the merchant, the warehouse and even
its security measures…However, they further updated him on the
bribes they had paid out to officials including the inspectors
who made the rounds, routinely checking for any inconsistencies
that could indicate smuggling activities, or even signs of
plague…In this, -Laryk- was assured they had successfully gained
two such inspectors whose debts outstripped their incomes and
despite this frequented the gambling tables at various
taverns…It was a classic manoeuvre that could pay off though
only if these men proved dependable in their compromised
state…That was always the risk right there, the unpredictable
natures of men swamped in debt, but finishing off his cup of
water –Laryk- announced with determination…* “Let us begin
then.”*…After which the three men and –Laryk- would part ways
only to regroup at the warehouse, though only after the area was
conveniently shut down with access restricted aside from them…*

: *…Sometime later an alarm would be raised as a man in the
warehouse district would be discovered on the street, near the
warehouse rented by Nyah and other merchants operating in the
area, bearing symptoms of plague. The whites of his eyes were
yellowed, his skin erupting with black blisters which were
obvious symptoms of the disease said to have held Bazi siege for
two years…However, before a mob could gather and kill the
apparently infected man guards under orders from the inspectors
would collect the man and hurry him off to be exterminated, or
so they would claim to those in the area showing obvious signs
of distress and concern for their well being. Those concerned
individuals including guardsmen, merchants and local trades
people would urge the inspectors arriving on site to kill the
man outright though eventually their fears were calmed or rather
re-directed as the inspectors pointed out the man had apparently
just exited from a nearby warehouse…soon there were calls to
burn the warehouse down and all within it to contain the
plague…quite a dramatic response but one which highlighted how
fearful the average Gorean was of the pox…The inspectors
expended a great deal of energy and time just then calming the
unruly cries to take effective measures and with some assistance
from a growing contingent of guardsmen reporting to the scene
the people were herded from the area, to safety while a broad
yellow slash was painted across the warehouse front…the colour
and symbol a warning of quarantine…*

: *…As the area was cleared and access restricted a lone wagon
would eventually be driven out of a nearby warehouse and parked
behind the one indicated to –Laryk- as belonging to Nyah now in
the midst of being cleared out of guards and other individuals
with the question being posed to them of where their boss was.
While that occurred three men dressed in a manner to suggest
they were officials working in conjunction with the inspectors
quickly disembarked from the wagon where they spent several
minutes assessing the scene, ensuring they were in fact alone in
the area now being temporarily abandoned as the quarantine was
being imposed by the inspectors. In the meantime, other
officials would be also be dispatched to search for Nyah or her
representatives in the area to update them on the situation and
no doubt tie them up with bureaucratic procedures and countless
questions meant to trace the exact route her shipments had taken
to get here in a bid to determine where it would have come in
contact with the pox. All this would all be done to give –Laryk-
and his men the time required to perform their own investigation
which was unfolding now at the warehouse they were about to
infiltrate. With their faces covered as a convenient disguise
doubling as a protective measure taken while moving through
potentially infected zone, the men, which included –Laryk-,
proceeded into the warehouse left open after the local guards
swept through here insisting everyone abandon their duties
immediately to be checked by physicians for any signs or
symptoms of illness…Those who were rounded up in the sweep were
currently at the end of the street far from the warehouses but
the disguised men did not waste time as they proceeded into the
warehouse which was filled with crates…So far everything was
checking out as the men fanned out and began opening the crates
to inspect their contents in their search for the pots. Yes, you

: *…-Laryk- and his men were fast at work prying open the crates
piled along the walls until a call came out which he turned and
answered immediately. Rounding a corner comprised of barrels and
crates, some empty and others filled with wares from foreign
locales, -Laryk- came upon his man who pointing into an opened
crate stuffed with straw directed him to a number of glazed
pots…Immediately –Laryk- grinned behind his face mask and
reaching inside he’d take hold of a pot to note its condition
and also the mark at its bottom. It was one he was not familiar
with but he didn’t really concern himself with the origin of the
pots…Instead, he’d call out to the rest of the men to find their
way here and begin hauling the crates out onto the waiting wagon
which they did with great haste knowing their ruse may not old
for much longer…especially if other officials caught wind of the
situation and began asking some pretty valid questions as to how
this supposed quarantine was unfolding. Knowing they had a small
window to work in the men were quick but careful as they lifted
the wooden crates to take to the wagon…However, once outside the
warehouse they encountered a problem as a guard in the
merchant’s employ had managed to slip through the sweep and
sensing something was amiss returned to the warehouse to check
on it. The guard drawing his sword confronted the two men no the
wagon, declaring they were thieves which is when –Laryk- and the
other man in his employ appeared…The guard realizing he was
outnumbered remained steadfast and looked ready to attack in
order to defend his employer’s wares but as he calculated his
odds he abandoned this thought in favour of running to fetch
help. As the guard bolted off down the lane –Laryk- grunted,
turned and told the men to keep loading…he’d be back soon, and
abandoning his work temporarily he took off after the guard who
had a bit of a head start…*

: *…Sprinting to catch up –Laryk- was a fit man but the guard
was a bit younger and lighter on his feet however ducking down a
side lane –Laryk- used it to get ahead of the guard who upon
noticing –Laryk- emerging some paces a head of him sharply
turned and scrambled to go back the other way, ducking down
another nearby lane. This time –Laryk- expended a great deal of
energy to catch up to the young guard in a burst of speed that
brought him within arm’s reach of the man who in his bid to
sharply turn also lost some of his footing…It was in that brief
moment where he fought to regain his balance that –Laryk- struck
him and shoved him aside into a wall. Before the guard could
react or make a clean attempt at a counter attack –Laryk- was on
top of him immediately, giving him no room or moment to react as
he kept the man sandwiched between him and the wall while blows
rained down until the guard was left stunned. Catching his
breath momentarily after leaving the man slumped on the pavement
at his feet –Laryk- was soon grabbing the near unconscious guard
to haul back to the warehouse…where he’d be left a little rough
for wear but otherwise alive and relatively unharmed. He wasn’t
in the business of leaving bodies in his wake as it was messy
and unnecessary. However, he did spent a couple more moments
containing the guard who battled unconsciousness and struggled
to get away but eventually –Laryk- managed to get him back to
the warehouse which had been relieved of the crates of pottery…*
“Help me get him inside, and grab some rope will ya…”*…He’d
state to his accomplices who quickly complied with one remaining
back as a look out and driver on the wagon’s bench…*

: *…Time was running out and this sense of urgency hounded
–Laryk’s- heels as he and the other men brought the guard inside
to the very warehouse he was meant to protect. For his troubles
in performing his duty today he was now a bit beaten up but
–Laryk- hoped to make it up somehow, maybe not just right now,
as he understood well that every man had a job to do. In this
case, his was getting this shipment as fast as possible but
first he’d go to work winding the sturdy rope around the guard,
binding his arms behind his back along with his legs. A rag
would be shoved into his mouth as a gag while –Laryk-
explained…* “Nothing personal, eh. Just me and the lads really
need this shipment.”*…Patting the guard’s head as he grumbled
behind his gag, -Laryk- would rise and call out to his group…*
“Bring in the payment.”*…Despite the fact that this entire
incident held the impression of a heist the truth was –Laryk-
was no thief and a moment later a heavy wooden chest boasting
quite an impressive lock was carried into the warehouse by two
of his accomplices. Setting it down next to the bound guard
–Laryk- would delay his departure a moment longer to explain…*
“Tell your employer we are sorry for the inconvenience and that
any effort to locate us should not be taken. As you can see
payment has been made.”*…With that Surus and his men would bar
the warehouse back up and begin making their way from the area
as elsewhere the alarm that had been earlier raised would
de-escalate when it is eventually learned that indeed the man
they encountered did not have the pox…He was just drunk and
rather unkept. In the coming days the officials involved though
would further defend their actions here today against any
criticism or questioning by explaining that in the name of
public safety all extreme measures would and should be taken no
matter if it eventually concludes in a false alarm. Better to be
safe than sorry. Stories and accounts would vary as to what was
really happening but for now…all that mattered was history had
repeated itself and Surus was now flush with more ‘fucking
pots’…*

: Many days had passed ... My time in The Markets was coming to
an end... but still no news... I had spent a day in The officers
of The docks Masters being interviewed by inspectors re The
route of my Trade and whom I had come in contact with... word
was out that some man had been found loitering round down By the
warehouses and yes sleeping near my storage places is said he
was with a number of friends some also sick with some Crusty
illness..”The Pox”.The very last thing I needed to be connected
with. I listened to This man tell His story...as My Brow raised
slightly... I had Been down at The warehouse area and No guards
had told me Of the sightings of any ill or unwell people ...
drunks took short cuts Past the warehouses The guards always
watched them but ushered them on there way during the Nights..
The Men would have been well aware if these people were
ill...But all in all the warehouse had been marked with the
yellow mark and no one was taking the risk till all was
sorted....I signed some of the paperwork... writing up
statements of my , doings and then I was allowed to leave.
Nothing More to say about anything.....weird I thought and left
the office.....

: I moved down along the docks I was a Dressed in Dark attire
...Leathers a tuic and over My shoulders a Long dark Fur that
hung to the ground...it moved swaying with each Large step I
took. Looking Up I saw Bubba moving towards me .. his steps
Large and following Him a Guard... shaking off ropes from his
wrists.....Muttering and speaking faster the any could
understand....He would turn Pointing and waving his arms
about.... was not Long and Bubba was stopped before me...
"Lady Nyah... have you heard what is going On down around the
Warehouses?" he Looked at me with a face full of anger" seems
There was some drunken bum causing havoc at the site... i
believe inspectors have been involved and Now it is told to me
One of Your Guards was tackled Beat up and tied within the
warehouse ...."All this done for those pots?... I knew something
was fishy Nyah didn’t I tell you this....???” I gripped his arm
and tugged Him to come with me away from the dock area... I knew
There were inspectors involved and I thought something was
strange but I was unsure....
"What’s wrong with the warehouse... we have Not been robbed have
we...?" I stopped and looked to Bubba as he shook His head and
allowed the guarded to speak....
"is re the delivery of those pots Nyah... the Man took said Pots
... under the cover of night like a thief... but he did'nt steel
he left payment....”
and The Guard Moved to push the small side door of the warehouse
open... I passed by him and took up a lantern Passing to to
Bubba for him to light......Then the Guard took me Over to where
he had been tied up..."
"Here Lady Nyah... and pointed to a Chest that sat on the floor
of the warehouse... "the Man said that That" and Pointed to the
Chest...."that is for payment of The Pots".. Now I frowned as I
looked Over the chest.... I recalled many a box Like This one
bought Home from Raids when I lived with MacBain But I never got
to Open them Joe always was aware of a chest That needed to be
secured ...in this way....

: Now I had seen many a box... this one was quiet a fine Looking
thing on its own... But as I kicked at the Lock and chain... I
realized that That lock was going to be hard to get off.... I
was sure Whisper would know someone who could and would be able
to unlock...if not herself... she would know someone who could
pick such a lock....It was intriguing....Anyone would wonder
what was inside such a thing.... But Whisper was My friend and
here was her payment not mine... I motioned for the guard to get
another guard and have this Loaded to a wagon and taken to My
ships cabin for safe travelling back to the cliff...
I dragged out some furs and covered The Box... and when The
other Guard arrived they loaded the Chest to the small wheel
based cart/wagon.. I threw The furs over top and covered the
chest....I was sure there would be others who would be
interested. in such a Fine looking prize... The slow wagon Moved
down toward s The docks , I followed... the ship was ready to
Leave at The right tide.. on arrival the men lifted the chest
and took it up on the Main deck of “The Lady Nyah” and then down
and into the main cabin of her ship.....I remained On deck and
waited for My captain to finish The Loading Of Goods for Home...
and then set sail...
