    Luran blinked for a moment, then looked back at the mound. "Well, I don't know what's going on, but I'll tell you, she feels ... dangerous. I'm not sure if we should check on what she's doing, or just get out of here."

    Kannet, excited by the prospect of danger heads with you towards the mound. You can see from the light within the mound that the stairs go down a distance (about 5 metres) before turning to the right.

    Moving quietly forward, Luran kept his hand on the hilt the axe that had appeared on his hip. He tried to move as quietly as possible, keeping his eyes and ears open.

    Luran rounds the corner almost silently, Kannet close on his heels. They go down a few more steps before stepping into a small square room hung with items. Unlike the ones in the village houses, these objects don't shimmer and change, but solildly remain. The strange woman is investigating the objects and doesn't notice your approach.

    Luran peered around the room, wondering what the items were. Moving carefully, he glanced at a few, trying to discern what their purpose was. The fact that they did not flicker was not lost on the woodsman ... but he was uncertain what exactly that meant.

    He kept an ear and eye out for the woman, still, even as he looked to see what she was staring at.

    The items vary in colour, size, shape, and seemingly have few unifying characteristics. A large birdcage stands out, that looks as though it is made of ivory, and the warrior in you notices a row of weapons on one wall.

    You can see a small corridor (about 4ft high) moving away from you westwards, but the woman has ignored both the corridor and the weapons: she seems to be looking at a pile of objects that have been left haphazardly, though she has yet to take one of them.

    Luran nudged Kannet, nodding his head towards the corridor. He scanned over the weapons, checking for anything interesting in the bunch. He figured he wouldn't draw attention to himself, but still wanted to learn as much as he could about the area ... strange though it all was.

    Maybe Leilanna or the Aes Sedai would know ...

    You find weapons of all varieties: swords, halberds, axes, and more exotic weapons you haven't seen before, such as short poles that broaden at one end only to taper to a point, almost like a spear, but subtly different, and too short. Kannet starts investigating, and clumsily kicks a bowl that was on the floor.

    The strange woman glances up, and her eyes fall upon the bowl. They light up momentarily, before shooting back to you. Before you can do anything, you're lifted off the floor and immobilised by Air. You hear a muffled cry and realise the same thing must have happened to Kannet, but it is quickly cut short. You can't even turn your head enough to see if he is alive or not.
    "You followed me here? That was brave, but now I want to know who sent you: whoever found two dreamers in this world is very clever I must say, I'd have liked you for my collection." You feel the pressure around your jaw lessen and you are free to speak.

    Luran started to flail in terror, but he couldn't move his body, as if frozen in ice. Eyes wide, he struggled uselessly against his bonds as the woman turned her attention to them. Unfortunately, her questions meant absolutely nothing to him.

    Once the bonds loosened on his throat and mouth, he gasped, "I don't know what you're talking about! We weren't sent by anyone! Release us!"

    Gazing about, his eyes caught on the weapons, resting for a moment on the bizarre spear-like one. Unable to do anything but think, he remembered what the boy was doing earlier. Perhaps if Kannet could do the 'impossible' then Luran could to. He focused on the spear, seeing it fly through the air and strike the woman from behind.

    The spear wavers for a second, and then suddenly is in flight, but it's aim is spoiled at the last moment as she turns aside and it only slices across her ribs. The woman lets out a shriek, and you find your bindings vanish, dropping the pair of you unceremoniously to the floor. There is suddenly an intense heat, and a ball of flame rockets from Kannet's outstretched palms, but abruptly disappears just as it reaches the woman.

    Luran gasped as he was released, partly stunned that his trick had worked. It was obvious that he had a lot to learn about this world. Unfortunately, he suspected his opportunities for future education would be sparse if he didn't deal with this woman first.

    Focusing on the spear, he 'called' it to his hand, thinking to rear back and throw it. But as the fire erupted from Kannet, he began to second guess that idea. Concentrating, he growled to the boy. "Get out of here ... WAKE UP!"

    Focusing, he tried to wake himself up ...

    The woman turns to glare at Kannet, and the fire that she had quenched bloomed in reverse, spouting from her hands and engulfing the pair of you. Luran just manages to dodge to the side, his clothes burning, but he hears Kannet scream briefly. Luran is unable to wake up, and stares on as the flames swirl around Kannet before dying out. The boy's body crumples, but vanishes before it could even hit the floor.

    Luran takes 10 lethal damage (it will be converted to non lethal on waking, if you do...)

    Seeing Kannet drop, Luran lunges forward, trying to kill this woman before she destroys them both with magic flames.

    Okay, not sure what to do here, but first question ... did Luran get the spear? If so, he'll charge like he's going to stab her, but will throw it at the last minute to try and catch her off guard.

    If, however, he does not have it, he'll simply charge with the axe he had created on his hip ...

    Yeesh ... this is going to get messy!

    Sorry yes, you did get the spear.


    Luran leaps forward, with spear in hand, and launches it at his foe. The woman clearly didn't expect it, as was evident from her look of surprise, but at the last moment she half turned on her heel and vanished. The spear sailed clearly through the space she'd occupied, and embedded itself in the wall opposite.

    A couple of seconds pass, but nothing happens.

    Luran realized he was alone in a bizarre dream realm, surrounded by odd objects that didn't react like everything else in his previous visits. Frowning, he stood and searched around for a moment, trying to remember as many items as he could. However, seeing no immediate danger, he continued to search a bit further ... hoping against hope he might find something that would aid him in finding his sister.

    The bowl in the centre of the room draws your attention, and stands out from the other artefacts that adorn the room. For some reason as you look around you see that the spear is back on the wall rack, not in the wall. You notice a bronze bracer with ivy drawn across it, and a small dog that looks as though it's made of charcoal. But despite all that the bowl stands out for you.

    Now Luran is curious. He walks over and tries to remove the spear again, then walks over to the bowl. He looks a bit closer at the bowl, wondering what it is, and why it keeps drawing his attention. While the bracer and dog are interesting, this seems ... important?

    @Luran: You see Kannet asleep in the next tent, and the others of the group gathered, and discussing something in earnest. The woman is nowhere to be seen, and the mound appears undisturbed.

    @The Rest: The three winged creatures are circling lower, now seemingly on a direct trajectory for the camp. Anyanna and Leilanna have risen and you can see Luran also wandering about the camp (though he appears as yet, oblivious of the looming threat).

    "I think it's safe to assume they've spotted us at this point," Berin says aloud, "And perhaps we should strike first this time."

    He raises his bow, and focuses on the nearest beast, anticipating its flight pattern. As he gets ready to fire, he hears Luran cry out, but he ignores it as he calms his mind and lets loose his arrow.
