Fremea will follow for about another half mile or so and then do her best to plot what direction the flyer is going in, so she can take it back to the party. She will find Z and go back to the group.

>          [Location: Middle Katai Plains] 
>          [          Pamau Province, Pamau City]

>          [Time: 5:47am]

>            Kiet is both moved by the plight of the man betrayed by his grey-
>          skinned masters, and disgusted with him all at the same time.
>          While a betrayer himself, he is also brave enough to want death
>          over this torture.  He deserves no particular mercy, but less so
>          do the Vong deserve their cruel entertainment.  Kiet moves forward
>          and waves off both Will and Farseeker. "I will grant you this
>          request for mercy, but none other.  You and the others with you
>          have endangered both all your people and, perhaps, ALL people.
>          Tell us where they are based and then you can make peace with the
>          gods."
> 
>            "The axe will work best as he is on the ground.  Were he sitting
>          up, then it would be the sword." Once the info is brought out,
>          Kiet kneels down to stare at the dying man.
> 
>            Arawn looked at the suffering man with compassion and pain in
>          his eyes, the agony terrible, a portion of it gripping the Alfar's
>          heart. In that moment the man wasn't a Peace Brigader. He was just
>          a simple man in pain, waiting to die.
> 
>            As Arawn sought to offer what little comfort he could he spoke to
>          the others in Marentian. "He should be dead. Even if I try to save
>          him I don't know that he'll live once free from the insects," he
>          said solemnly.
> 
>            Arawn looked to Will and Farseeker. "It seems best to end his
>          suffering. And then the insects will need to be dealt with before
>          they spread."
> 
>            Ben'dar brings the horses forward and hears much of the talk
>          in Marentian.  He is confused by the sudden mercy given to this
>          man who would have killed the party given time.  Ben'dar glances
>          at the burning cabin and wonders what secrets it had once held.
> 
>            Zhou stands with arms crossed and looks around. "This is not
>          a good start of the day.  I had hoped to get to the cabin to
>          learn what it might hold like maps or info.  But it is no use
>          now as it burns."
> 
>            Chion pats down his smoldering clothing and glares at Zhou
>          who speaks the most obvious things at the worst times.
> 
>            Strie'bog does a walk around the cabin to ensure there is nothing
>          hiding or of value.
> 
>            Caladan nods at Arawn's words, "mercy is the best choice.  But
>          it has to be a blow that will do the job before the bugs just
>          revive him again.  Then you should burn the body to ensure the
>          bugs do not survive."  Caladan speaks calmly in Marentian.
> 
>            Farseeker stands and nods.  "Will's axe will be the best then.
>          My blade can do it but the axe is better."  He stands back a couple
>          of feet and crosses his arms.
> 
>            Kell scans the light woods around the area.  There isn't much room
>          to hide and he watches to ensure the party is alone.  He listens
>          to the conversation and wonders how he'd react if he had to decide
>          the guy's fate.
> 
>            Unali hidden in the blackness in her night dark clothing stands
>          like a black shapeless form. She feels slight pity for the man as
>          the others do but knows this man betrayed his empire.  Of course
>          now he feels that betrayal so the circle is complete.  She wonders
>          if some in the Empire like these fools should even be saved.
> 
>            Raban remains quiet and stares.  While he also feels pity for the
>          man his worry is to the Z'leyra and Fremea chasing after the Flyer.
>          He knows they can likely handle things but he knows they fly alone
>          with no support other than Fremea.  What if they need to contact
>          the party or vice versa?  Eventually they'll have to regroup with
>          the party and quickly will that take.  Raban scans the western skies
>          and tries to find them in the darkness but fails.
> 
>            The man doesn't look at Kiet but just shakes his head as if in
>          an intense cold area.  His jaw shivers as if he is either losing
>          energy or life itself. "I don't know where their base is.  I swear!
>          When we learned that Nom died from being attacked tonight by
>          someone we came here as fast as we can..."  He screams as a bug
>          inside begins to burrow into a rib.  "...they are eating me
>          alive!...please end...this.....we...tried to find info for our
>          needs.  They...they arrived...they killed two of us...inside...
>          they claimed they no longer needed us..."  He screams as a bug
>          exits under an armpit and burrows back in.  "They claimed they are
>          everywhere now and our help is no longer needed....Vau tried to
>          convince them otherwise but the ...the thing just stabbed him and
>          laughed.  He tried to ransack the cabin but gave up as if bored.
>          He decided to just burn it down to leave nothing.  But I know
>          Nom kept a strong box.  Its metal so shouldn't burn.  Its buried
>          in a trap door section under the bed..."  He screams as a small
>          baby bug begins to enter his left lung. "..north west corner...
>          Nom wouldn't keep it hidden if it wasn't important..that's all
>          I know.  Please...end it..."
> 
>            Arawn looks to Kiet who seems to want to do the dirty task.
> 
>            Kiet considers the man's answers.  He glances to Farseeker.
>          The curse seems broken more or less.  A prisoner willing to speak
>          and give up as much as he knows, what little there is of it.
>          The prisoner didn't die oddly though technically he did die once
>          already.
> 
>            Kiet motion to Will for the axe. "I'll do it."
> 
>            Will glances to the acrobat and wonders if he has the upper
>          body strength to do the blow.  But then he senses Kiet is trained
>          in a quick one death blow strike.
> 
>            "Before you do it..promise me....tell the others our allies
>          are ...they have betrayed us!  They must know.  They must prepare."
>          The man just stares into the dark skies.  He doesn't seem to even
>          notice the party and how they aren't even peace Brigade.  Maybe
>          he just assumes that or is too in shock to care.
> 
>            Then the man's voice lowers to a near whisper. "I didn't know...
>          If only...we knew..."  He begins to mumble to himself and ramble
>          on about what must be his family.
> 
>            Farseeker turns to Chion. "Strong box.  Can you get it?"
> 
>            Chion glances to the blazing and knows a quick tour of the place
>          is one thing but staying long enough to recover something in the
>          fire could be dangerous even with his ring's resistance.  He
>          shakes his head and thinks it might be best to let that section
>          burn down a bit more.
> 
>            "I could do some nice wind spells to get the fire down but
>          this close to the city..." Caladan stares at the burning blaze.
> 
>            Arawn quietly says a prayer for the dying man.
> 
>            "Wait...Vau...he had a bag....back that way."  The dying man
>          raises a hand and points almost to where the party came from.
>          "We had ...were able to translate some of their words based on
>          their common use.  Vau had it in a small journal in his bag. He
>          was the one in the Brigade to speak somewhat with those...things."
>          He pauses and mumbles so much it can't be understood then he
>          continues again. "Find the bag...it might help...but kill me
>          now!"
> 
>            Some distance away in the west, Z'leyra in eagle form tries
>          to keep up with the faster Flyer.  Her night vision is very
>          dim and it takes full concentration just to get a fix on the
>          ship based on stars and shift.  But soon the sun might help.
>          Before then though twilight will begin to remove starlight and
>          making pursuit very difficult.  She remains about half a mile
>          behind the Flyer and now maybe a mile away from the party.
> 
>            About another half mile behind Z'leyra, Fremea flies with
>          one hand to her spyglass.  Too bad it doesn't have a night
>          vision spell on it.  While her vision is better at this hour
>          her problem is keeping the Flyer centered.  Each time she dips
>          or weaves the Flyer is lost and has to be reacquired.  She
>          wonders if its best to stare at Z'leyra or the flyer.
