New friends?
The immediate danger past, the party observes the strange behavior of the new arrivals.
Shareev, atop the what-is-it, sets to work with what appear to be tools, although you haven't seen the like before. He sets about digging into the guts of the construct and pulling out its metal innards. He examines each part as he removes it, tossing some aside while placing others carefully in a pile at the base of the hulk. After a while, he climbs down and sets to work on the arms, removing the ends and some of the elbows and adding them to his pile.
Thanis watches his friend work while setting fire to the small stick in his mouth. For those of you near to the smoke it creates, it smells like halfling pipeweed, although less strong and strangely sweeter. He makes some effort to speak with Oldin and, although the words are strange, it seems Oldin is getting some sense of his meaning.
Brand drinks his potion and Oldin pokes him five times with the wand, while trying to interpret Thanis and Shareev's speech for the rest of you. [Brand has been healed 38 hp]
Amon sticks his tongue out at Oldin's teasing and says, "I may be ugly, but I'm younger and smarter than you, old man. And I'll get smarter while you just get older." He stares at Shareev atop the construct for a moment and says, "The fleshy-headed one means that," he points to the tidy pile that Shareev has made, "when he says treasure. He and his friend have been stalking it for a while. He doesn't want us to steal it, but thinks we might help him carry it to his home." [Sunbolt may be playing Amon in the near future, but I felt a response to Oldin was absolutely needed here ... also, Amon said that before Thanis' last post and Oldin's translation, so he must really be smart, eh?]

Oldin chuckles at Amon's riposte. "Touché, I am getting old. But I'm looking good doing it. Alright Mr. Smartypants, why don't you give me a hug and tell us what happened. Do you know what that man was doing to you? He claims to have removed a demon from you. Is that so, my boy? If it is, it might explain your wretched appearance." Oldin makes a face at the boy. "And are you feeling all right now? He seemed to have drained a lot of blood, and claims that he healed you. Are you feeling well?"
After a long hug, Oldin heads over to Leenah and uses the wand to restore her to health. If Amon says that he is still hurt, Oldin will instead heal Amon first, then Leenah, then anyone else who was injured.

Shareev looks at the pile and then back at the remains.
"Weesh dere ways mur."
He then whistles very loudly. From the tunnel where Thanis and Shareev came down rolls a small box on wheels. It rolls over to where Shareev is standing. He opens a hatch on the top of the box and starts piling the pieces into it.
He looks over at Oldin and Amon, "Maypee yau cayn gelf garri de leks."
When he has as much in as he feels comfortable with it carrying, he pulls another smoke stick out of his bag. This time, he just pops it in his mouth and starts chewing.
"EE aym gunkri"
He looks at the group for a moment, as if deciding if he should follow through with whatever is going through his head.

Oldin says, "While you make a valid point, I have some concerns for our safety right now. The creatures that we battled earlier were cursed. That curse may have spread to any one of us. By my reckoning, we have about 12 or 13 days before we will know for certain, which is exactly how long it would take us to return. I would prefer that we get checked out as quickly as possible, but if you think that we can make it back before the curse can affect us, then I am all for returning. The sooner we get back, the sooner Amon will be safe."

Oldin translates for the two, "This one says he is hungry," Oldin says indicating Shareev, "and the other offered him some rations he brough."
Suddenly, Oldin realized that he was quite hungry. He would need to have Tildon make him up something.... TILDON!!!
"If we do decide to aid these two gentlemen and return to their village, we must go back and get Tildon."

Thanis sighed slightly stamping out the smoking stick on the ground before he turned around and walked over to Shreev, " Gau mucg tit wee keth auth ob ith?"
He waites until Shreev answered and nodded a little, looking at the hulk that still stood there. He grinned to shreev and whispered quietly," Wi coult gayf dem harri som on de wee pah ib wi’re thahink dem thau thown…" He chuckled a little...

“Leths sfit dis uf Thanis. Ith weell pe tayrh saun, aynt yau noow go EE geeth thrayvelink ayth neeth.”
Shareev walk up to Oldin and Amon, extending his hand to Oldin in a gesture of friendship.

"I'm fine. I feel great. Better than in ages, actually. I don't remember a whole lot. I was in the dark - outside, I thought I was having that dream again, and then I was on the floor and feeling strong and that thing was coming at me and the man was picking me up and pushing me towards you saying he wasn't sure if he could trust you. I'm not sure, but was that the Prelate?
"And what is that... thing?"

"It's very hazy. But I had that dream a lot. I'd be asleep and then I'd go down stairs and out - through a door that isn't there, but was there in my dreams. I'd be alone in the darkness, but I wasn't alone. And then I'd see all of these animals, and I'd call them to me, and they'd come and... Can we talk about it - later?"shai-hulud wrote:"That thing is some construct of magic. Too bad your father is not here. He might have known more about it. I will send a message to him letting him know that you are safe as soon as I have some time to read.
"So, tell me about this dream that you were having. What was happening in the dream?"

Oldin says, "Sure, my boy. You just take it easy now.
"Everyone, let's go out and find Tildon. Since the staircase is out, we should probably head out through this very convenient hole that the 'treasure' made. Hopefully, in addition to helping us speak the dialect here, the man we are being brought to see can help if any of us were cursed. After that, we get Amon back to his father as fast as we can.
"Does this sound agreeable to everyone? If so, let's grab some treasure for these gentlemen and be on our way!"
Oldin turns to the strangers and says, "Ee aym Oldin. Aynd yau?" as he grabs a leg of the metal beast.
Edit: Before taking the leg of the beast, Oldin shakes Shareev's extended hand... I missed that part.

"If ev'rything went as planned, 'twouldn't be an adventure, now would it?" Esias observes as he slings his bow and steps forward to grab another leg of the what-is-it.
