Gate of Memoirs/Flesh and Bone

Since the unusual sandstorm and my missing outriders , we have had fewer people out to gather food and water.

*Haile: I told you, I had it all under control!
 	
*Korzan: HAH! Under control? Don’t make me laugh!
*Korzan: If it weren’t for me you’d be like those vermin over there, lying on the ground dead!
*Haile: So much for your so called “superior” senses of sight and smell; you’re worthless if you don’t use them!
*Haile: Who else would be in a place like this accept for ?
 	
*Avani: What did I tell you? I knew we would hear them before we even saw them!
 	
*Avani: But something tells me that you’ve grown quite accustomed to such a scene.
*Avani: I suppose you have friends who bear a similar relationship just like Haile and Korzan back in your world?
*Avani: It’s a wonderful thing isn’t it! Our problems cannot be solved if we just keep our feelings bottled up inside.
 	
*Korzan: *Sniff* *sniff* Someone is approaching…
 	
*Korzan: ?
*Korzan: …and Avani too?
*Korzan: What is the meaning of this?
 	
*Haile: Well, isn’t that just wonderful! If some idiot hadn’t been raving away like a mad man... 
*Haile: we wouldn’t have been attacked by those monster!
 	
*Korzan: And you have a problem with that? If I hadn’t cut them down, the next place they would’ve been headed towards is the village!
 	
*Avani: It is good to see you are both well!
 	
*Avani: Indeed, it is quite odd for these creatures to appear gather such a large pack.
*Avani: Perhaps they have been driven out by the strange sandstorm…
*Avani: ……
*Avani: Hmm… the wounds on some of these beasts…
 	
*Korzan: I noticed them as well. It is as if a powerful bolt of lightning struck them square in the head.
*Korzan: Thunderstorms never happen in this place. The only storms we have here are sandstorms, though rarely ever like the one we are currently experiencing.
 	
*Haile: Wounds from a bolt of lightning… it cannot possibly be…
 	
*Avani: Thought of something Haile?
 	
*Haile: Oh? No… pardon me, I was distracted by something else...
 	
*Avani: Strange wounds aside, look at these tracks
*Avani: A large horde of monsters headed towards the outpost by the oasis…
*Avani: and it seems like “Kamekichi” has been driven out of it’s nest too!
 	
*Korzan: Kame… what?
 	
*Avani: Kamekichi! Perhaps you have not seen a seen a Grandos Tyranifex before?
*Avani: It’s an adorable beast that looks like a cross between a turtle and a scorpion~
*Avani: That’s why I call it Kamekichi!
 	
*Korzan: Turtle… and scorpion?
*Korzan: That thing may possess a thick shell and a stinger but...it sure as hell doesn’t look like either one of those things!
 	
*Haile: It’s about time you got used to Chief’s quirks, Korzan. 
*Haile: All her targets are given nicknames. Though most of them don’t live long once she’s decided they are to become her new trophies…
 	
*Avani: That’s quite enough of that. Finding Ezra and saving our outriders are our priorities. 
*Avani: Allanon was right. Something or someone must have created that sandstorm capable of driving that apex predator out of its hunting grounds.
*Avani: Someone else appears to be hunting them too. But whether that person is a friend or foe still remains to be seen.
*Avani: Korzan, I need you to return to the village in case any monsters have slipped past us. Only then will I be able to rest assured* that our people are well protected.
 	
*Korzan: What!? You can’t be serious about leaving me out of the fun?
 	
*Avani: On our next hunt the beast would all be yours for the taking. 
*Avani: No one else shall interfere, not even me. You have my word.
 	
*Korzan: *Grumbles*
*Korzan: Whatever… I'll hold you to that!
 	
*Korzan: You lot better return back alive. Or else there’s no one else to supply me my drink…
 	
*Haile: Hehe. That big fool is just afraid of being alone!
 	
*Avani: He certainly is very different from the man he used to be. And for the better too.
*Avani: Now that the village is secure, we must move on.
*Avani: Stay on your guard. We’ll never know what other dangers lie just around the corner.
