The wyvern's old bones were no longer resistant like they used to be, and its hind left joint broke easily, unable to withstand the sheer force behind Talruun's blow. This caused the beast's whole body to shriek and collapse to the ground in a cloud of sand, struggling to keep itself up with its...

The wyvern let out a hiss as Ramses's light spell struck it, and focused its attention on Eikana even more, thinking her the source of that sudden flash. Its right foot was still pressed against Eikana's curved blades, so it resorted to using its sharp teeth instead, its massive head darting in...

The arrow she had fired had pierced the wyvern's shoulder bone, but it didn't seem to mind that much, nor did it seem to feel any kind of pain. The creature hissed angrily and attempted several sweeping strikes on Eikana with its razor-sharp claws, while it stomped and whipped it's heavy tail on...

Old tales came back to Ramses's mind as he took its distance from the beast. "Its bones are old, if we manage to break some it won't be able to regenerate them. Watch out for its venom though, it can spray it from a distance, and it wouldn't be easy to heal." The wyvern turned to stare towards...

The sands kept shifting under them, so much that Ramses almost fell to the ground. Finally, something resembling a long, tapered tail emerged from the desert, whipping blindly; but it wasn't a normal tail, there was no flesh or scales covering the vertebral bones that composed it. Ramses had...

Ramses nodded silently, but he wasn't fully convinced. He kept digging, until he felt the sand tremble under his feet. Something large enough seemed to be moving below the surface, perhaps awakened by their operations. He slowly backed and signaled the others to do the same as his mind raced...

Not too far from the young mage's position, Learco Verenim was quickly heading back to his home. He knew a stranger was travelling the swamp, and was apparently heading towards his shack, as others sometimes did, in order to buy remedies or hexes from him. He wasn't too fond of those occurences...

Ramses grabbed a shovel and began helping Eikana, tossing the sand aside and whispering a few words for the god of the desert. Sa'Netel's answer and its implications had only increased his nervousness, and, judging by the looks on everyone else's faces, he wasn't the only one who felt that way...

Ramses, who was now even more confused than before, interrupted his spell and turned to Sa'Netel. "Well, we can burn it if you want, but the smoke might give away our position to anyone nearby. Or maybe we should keep some for later to start a bonfire? The nights in the desert can get really...

Ramses scratched his head in doubt, unsure of what to do or how to behave. Talruun's book was mostly uncomprehesible for him, especially compared to the elaborate alphabet he was used to, so he handed it back to him. "Hmm, you definitely know the animals much better than me, so if you can't...

"I trained as a priest myself, although no doubt your traditions are different than ours. I know my fair share of heals and blessings, and some offensive magic, which I doubt could be of use right now. -- He replied as he examined the foreign book, -- Did you have anything specific in mind that...

Ramses began feeling slightly uneasy, "There's a number of things in the desert that could upset animals like this, especially if they had never seen them before..." If something was spying on them then staying in place wasn't the best plan. Their party seemed experienced enough in combat and...

Ramses watched the scene from reasonable distance, he didn't have much experience with these animals, but they seemed docile and unaggressive unless provoked. He looked around for anything that could have threatened them, finding nothing except from the occasional palm tree, although the dunes...

Ramses examined the map, he wasn't sure what the green area was, but he guessed it had to be an oasis or a shrine, and if they were as far from the Moon River as he tought they were, places like that to rest and find water would become harder and harder to find, the closer they got to the tombs...

Ramses smiled, enjoying the feeling of the sand under his bare footpads. The sun's heat was intense, but he didn't seem to mind much, despite his thick cream fur and mane. On the ship he couldn't be of much help because of his sickness, but now he tried giving a hand whenever he could be of use...

"I wouldn't want to be on their bad side", joked Ramses as he waved Sa'Netel goodbye and stumbled towards his room, where he tried to relax with some reading and praying despite the rolling of the ship. The voyage went smoothly for the most part, thanks to a sunny weather that might not have...

He nodded. "It shows the strength of the community I guess, some of the city states can be unwelcoming to strangers as well." In Dhjiria, where poisonings were a daily matter, outcomers (and many of the inhabitants) were stripped naked and examined closely to make sure they weren't hiding...

As he started to get a bit used to the ship's rolling, Ramses decided to join Sa'Netel for a chat. He wasn't sure there was anything he could do to help, he was a terrible sailor of course, but he still expressed his good will to the crew in case they needed anything. He greeted the naga and...

Ramses reluctantly walked aboard the ship, and as it set sail and started to pick up speed he began feeling more and more dizzy. He found a quiet spot on the main deck where he wouldn't be a burden, close enough to the railing just in case he felt ill. He took some comfort in the sun rays and...

Ramses chuckled as he saw Sa'Netel and the phoenix finally joining them. He greeted him with a smile, admiring his plumed companion and then looked at Eikana "Alright, we're all here now aren't we? Are we ready to sail?" He asked nervously.
