           * Pyan's IBT

           [Decalis 2nd, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Cholan's Tavern]

             The quiet hunter sits in the back room of this tavern still
           amazed by the past events.  To leave his home tribal lands and
           then travel to this strange land has been an adventure in
           itself.  Now he looks at the new strangers Dorhak, Mae and
           Raki.  Dorhak he can almost understand the small bearded ugly
           one.  But Mae is a mystery in itself.  Back home most females
           would not be so open to just stand naked in front of strangers
           much less allies.  But Pyan would not be a man if he hadn't
           noticed her carefully.  But this thing with her being half demon
           though is a bit elusive for him to get close to at this point.
           Especially after she attacked Dorhak. Maybe once she proves
           herself?

             Pyan is amazed at the collected loot - several hundred
           pounds of it mostly gems and jewelry.  Pyan mentions that
           he should like his share of the worthless items.  Later in
           a few days when things are sold the others will give him
           a bag of silver.  More coin he has ever seen.  But it  seems
           second nature to the others like Z'leyra, Unali and Kiet.  But
           over 60 gold could find him a place to stay for sure.  But a
           hunter is more keen to be outside not in some cramped bedroom.
           Maybe one day he can settle down and get a family like this
           Cholan fellow.  Pyan eyes Cholan's bad arm but others say he
           wears it as a rite of passage even though Arawn could fix it.

             Pyan checks the metal helmet he got from the prison.  it seems
           to fit well but the visor and hunting would not do so well.
           Later he learns from the Sidh it has magic to protect him
           against something called the Div.  Probably a demon or such.
           But at least it will protect his head.

             Pyan then hefts the Bastard Sword up and swings it. He is
           clearly not used to swords.  Spears are clearly his thing.  But
           swords do have a slightly better damage bonus and are better for
           wide arcing attacks than one thrusting attacks from spears.

             Pyan hears Unali talk about her plans to improve her agility.
           The hunter is curious why when she is quite the able woman.  But
           it gives him an idea.  Maybe he can improve his dexterity and
           agility as well.  If anything it will improve his overall
           defense standing.

             The hunter also is in awe of the magic users.  Seeing  what
           Arawn, Z'leyra, Fremea and even Kiet do is something that he
           finds interesting.  A hunter should live on the land and hunt
           to survive.   But to have magic at times when no game is around
           would be a nice bonus.  Kiet's tokens were fascinating as well.
           But maybe he can learn himself.

             During a lull in the party he asks how hard it would be to
           learn magic.  He hears opinions from everyone.  To learn the
           ways of the Sidh to learn that Foyson Theft or Wizardry to
           learn Sustenance would take time.  At least over a hundred days
           if even find a teacher.  The party knows finding a wizard
           teacher should be easy.  But to find a Sidh teacher might be a
           bit more difficult unless one of them taught.  Pyan would hate
           to take up the time from the party for over 3 months just for
           him.

             It started out simply as he asks, "Yes I wish to learn the
           magician's spell."

             But his hopes decline when he learns the length of time
           and chances of finding a Sidh teacher here is slim.  He
           resigns to maybe learning it next time.

             Pyan enjoys the food and drink with the party for the rest of
           the night.


           [Decalis 3rd, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Z'leyra's Manor]

             Pyan wakes up at the manor.  He had planned to stay here
           but doesn't recall how he got here.  The ale must've been
           too strong.  Last thing he recalls was trying to learn some
           Dwarf song holding Dorhak across the shoulder and weaving
           back and forth singing.  After that it was a blur.

             Pyan finds himself in a very nice bed.  Granted its not
           a sleeping bag or bed of leaves.  But it smells nice.  Pyan
           then realizes he is in only underwear.  Unsure where his
           clothes are he sees some leather clothing on a chair. He
           dresses and finds the kitchen,  He learns the steward with
           some help from others got him into bed and send his clothes
           out to get cleaned as they were a bit smelly.

             Smelly?  Hunters like that.  But fine.  These fresh new
           clothes will do fine till he gets his set back.  The cook
           gives him a nice breakfast.

             The steward quietly directs him to a local bathhouse as
           he could use a bath and a shave.  Pyan shrugs.  Why not.
           Mae has been all eager to get this bath thing done.  So
           why not try it.

             After the bath Pyan finds his horse and ensures it is
           fed, groomed and cleaned.  The stable boy said it was
           already done.

             Pyan looks around at the estate and figures such a place
           is too large for him.  Maybe a small place with 2 rooms
           is best for him.  But who knows maybe he'll change his
           view on things as time passes.

             Pyan checks on his gear and ensures everything is there
           from Chion's retrieval.  Pyan enters the manor's small
           library.  The steward did it is for everyone as her private
           books are elsewhere.  Pyan decides to spend the afternoon
           just relaxing and reading a bit.

             That night those who stay at the manor eat a nice dinner and
           talk about their plans for the future.


           [Decalis 4th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia]

             Pyan mounts up and heads into town.

             Entering the largest market he stops at a tailor and  gets
           his cloak repaired and cleaned.  Minor cuts and tears from a
           month of travels need to be taken care of. The tailor offers
           to also look at his boots.  This takes a few hours.

             He then gets his bridle and horseshoes looked at and
           minor fixes made.

             Pyan then restocks his travel rations, water skins and
           and any fresh meat and such he may need if he decides to
           go hunting.  It seems cheating to use rations but in a bad
           day of hunting it can save lives.  So this will give him almost
           3 weeks of food if needed.  He then buys some arrows.  He does
           plan to do some hunting in the hills so will lose some.  He
           buys 68 in case he spends a couple months in the hills.  Course
           he can recover most but just in case.  One day maybe he'll
           learn the Fletcher skill.

             Pyan enters a tavern for a late lunch and decides to try the
           turkey as turkey in his homeland are not as common as down here.

             Lastly he enters a armor shop and skips the gleaming chain and
           plates.  A hunter in plate.  Yeah right.  He eyes the quilted
           armor to replace his suit he lost in the fire.  The clerk hovers
           around and helps but it is nice to understand him clearly.
           Before they left for Ticasi it was like trying to understand a
           horse speak. But now he is actually fluent as a native here.
           After spending two months with the party he picks up so much of
           the local language.

             The clerk helps Pyan select a nice set of Quilted but talks
           him into a set of ring mail.  Pyan explains a set of armor with
           rings being quiet hunting might not work.  But the clerk
           explains if done well it can be very quiet as you can wear it
           with quilted armor.  This gives him double the protection.  This
           seems to entice Pyan as he was almost killed twice.  He hears
           the price of 5 silver!  That would cut him deeply.  But  he knows
           he's like 60 gold coming soon from the party treasure.  So he
           buys both.

             Lastly based on some tips by party, manor steward and Cholan
           he finds a sword master who sells flowers.  He has a good
           reputation. It seems odd a warrior selling flowers but it must
           be a steady income.  Pyan asks if he could help him learn how
           to use the Bastard Sword.


           [Decalis 5th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia]

             Pyan decides to start his dexterity training.  According
           to others in the party this will include juggling from what
           Kiet can show in his spare time, finger flexing, ball tricks,
           fancy weapon techniques and nimble moving of the entire body in
           various non normal ways.  He intends to do this for the late
           afternoon and night time hours for the next 20 days.  This
           should at least improve his dexterity to a degree.

             But in the morning Kristov the sword teacher who gives his
           stand to his brother will teach Pyan for 8 hours a day for
           the next 2 weeks. It should be enough to learn the sword
           skill.  It will cost Pyan 20 copper to learn but it is worth it
           for now.

             Over the next 20 days Pyan and Kristov spar and learn the
           sword at the manor.  In the late afternoon and night he does
           his dexterity training.

           [Decalis 18th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia]
           [Time: 3 pm]

             Kristov explains his training is complete.  They do
           one final sparing action.  Sure Pyan is easily defeated
           but he has improved.  Kristov takes his leave and hopes
           Pyan will train more.


           [Decalis 12th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia]

             Pyan watches as Chion takes some of the party to Ba'ru to
           Kell's funeral.  Kell was a good guy and talked to Pyan.  But
           Pyan could never decide if he was going to attend.  So he
           remained in Marentia.

           [Decalis 24th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia]

             For the last six days the dexterity training moved to
           full days giving Pyan time to travel to the Kaylle's library
           to do some reading.

             At the Library the Faerry Scholar Kaylle helps to locate
           stories and myths that Pyan finds fascinating. It is his
           intention to one day share these store is with his tribe.  To
           show what it is like outside the forest of his homeland.


           [Decalis 25th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia]

             For the next 20 days Pyan trains doing only his agility to
           improve it.  This includes obstacle courses, avoiding things
           thrown at him by the guards and using his body in ways that
           will improve his agility like minor acrobatics.

             While this will only take 8 hours a day for his spare
           free time he does spend time at the library reading and
           writing in his own words the events of his adventures
           for his people.  Kaylle offers to help with long complex
           words and teaches at times.

           [Janaq 12th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia]
           [Time: 2:27 pm]

             Pyan enters a tavern for a quick pint of tea.  It is
           very cold today and needs to warm up.  He is taking
           a break from his agility training and heading to the
           library.

             As he warms the place is not crowded with only 8 others
           around.  Soon a cute girl asks to sit down and warm up
           by the fire.  Soon the girl in her 20s starts to flirt
           with Pyan.  Pyan flirts back as best he can as it has been
           quite a long time for Pyan and love.

             As the girl snuggles up to him he realizes his money
           pouch has just been lifted.  It is ironic but his dexterity
           training helps here.  He felt the nimble fingers and
           her body move in such a way.  Pyan smiles as she says she
           has to get to the latrine. But Pyan reaches for her
           and starts reaching a hand out.

             The girl who is barely dressed in a loose fitting
           tunic and pants feigns shock and anger.  Then Pyan
           stands and twirls the girl around.  Using his own nimble
           fingers he finds the pouch at her waist hidden by a
           tray she was using.  The waitress who was apparently off
           duty gets upset.  This causes the bar tender to come
           over and they both yell at Pyan.  "Hick!"  "Filthy trash!"

             Pyan smiles as he places the pouch back on and takes
           the last of his tea and leaves.

           [Janaq 13th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia]
           [Late afternoon]

             Pyan finishes his Agility training and is happy to see
           the obstacle course removed.  He feels far more agile than
           he did before.

             Z'leyra has returned a few days now but Pyan feels his
           stay is over.  He does not want to over stay.  He packs
           up and decides to head to the hills for more training.
           It would be good to sit at a campfire and sleep in a
           tent on a lumpy sleeping bag again.

             Pyan learns the laws that hunters are not allowed to
           take game within 5 miles of city walls.  Outside that and
           beyond a mile from any place in the city margins it is
           allowed.  So Pyan leaves the city heading west where there
           is said to be less people than north, east and south.

             Kaylle had days before introduced Pyan to a hillsman
           who knows the area well.  His name is Amic   Pyan had
           hoped to stay in the hills alone.  But it would be good
           to be taught the hills with another outdoors man.  Amic
           refuses to take coin for teaching Pyan.

           [Janaq 14th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]

            Over the next 10 days Amic teaches Pyan how to survive
          and learn from the hills.  For the next 12 days after that
          Pyan learns on his own and does hunting.

           [Febris 5th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]

             Pyan now considers himself a decent hillsman.  Only twice
           did hunting fail.  But he has been able to live off the
           land and only use his rations once.  Water is a bit more
           critical and a few streams and old wells are used.

           [Febris 6th - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]

             Over the next 22 days Pyan hunts and spends his spare
           time improving his Bowyer skill in making bows from
           scratch and how to improve them.

           [Febris 7th - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]
           [Time: 12:42 pm]

             Pyan is riding in the hills when he encounters 2 men with
           heavy swords.  They look like warriors to Pyan.  Coming
           close they explain they are after some thief that stole
           cash from a noble estate.  But Pyan does not even look
           like the thief so simply let him move on.


           [Febris 16th - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]
           [Time: 12:39 pm]

             Pyan's horses seems suddenly nervous and Pyan checks
           for snakes as he was hunting a rabbit.  But sees nothing
           nearby on ground.   Then he hears a noise he heard before
           on the Zen'da plains.  He looks up to the north and sees
           4 griffins flying toward him.  Pyan looks around but there
           is no good cover just open hills with little foliage.

             Pyan knows he has no choice but to fight or lose his
           horse.  He pulls his bow and cocks it.  His first arrow goes
           out but misses.  The second hits #4 doing 3 points of damage.
           Third hits #2 doing 7 points.  Pyan knows he has only one
           more chance before they are on him.  The fourth arrow hits
           #1 doing 23 points!  The Griffin begins to tumble as it
           recovers from the almost fatal damage.

             Pyan throws his bow down and tumbles off the horse just
           as the other 3 pass over clawing at him.  He rolls onto
           the ground and stands holding his new bastard sword.   Pyan
           swings at one griffin as it passes but missed.

             Two circle above and continue to dive but one lands as it
           approaches to fight.  Pyan swings at the creature hitting
           him in the shoulder doing 3 points of damage.

             The other 2 dive for his horse and the horse senses this
           and moves just as they dive.  One claw does clip the saddle
           but doesn't catch on.

             The one almost killed gets to the air a bit weak and
           goes to help his friends.  Pyan thrusts at #3 again and
           hits doing 18 points to his left wing.

             Griffin #2 dives for horse again but he runs away.

             Griffin #1 who was almost killed and #4 dive for Pyan.
           Griffin #1 fails to hit as it is too weak.  But #4 claws
           at Pyan's right shoulder doing 3 points of damage.

             Pyan charges Griffin #1 who he almost killed as it tries to
           get to the air.  He thrusts and does the damage needing to take
           him down.  One down 3 to go.

             Griffin #2 and #4 both dive for the horse.  This time
           #2 latches on but #4 loses his grip so the horse is only
           lifted up a few inches before dropped due to bad overall
           coordination.

             Griffin #3 knocks Pyan down as he dives and a claw
           hits him in the lower right chest doing 2 more points.

             But as Griffin #3 tries to fly away Pyan thrusts his sword
           and impales him in the stomach doing 8 points of damage.  The
           Griffin slams into the ground about 4 feet from Pyan.  Two
           down 2 to go.

             Griffin #2 tries for horse again but the horse stands
           tall and bucks at the griffin.

             Griffin #4 dives for Pyan but misses I his attack run.

             Pyan charges Griffin #4 just as it begins to lift upwards.
           He swipes and does 5 more points to it.

             Griffin #2 dives for Pyan but fails to hit.  Griffin #4
           dives for the horse and lifts it up!  The horse begins to
           neigh in horror as the two lift to the sky.

             Pyan yells in alarm as he watches the horse going up and
           down as it is tried to be pulled upwards.  Pyan forgets
           the other one and runs to help.  If the griffin gets
           enough strength to get him higher than a few feet up the
           horse is lost.  But if he uses his sling or bow he could
           hurt the horse and it could fall and break a leg.  But
           he has to take the chance.  He runs as fast as he can
           and swipes at the griffin's side.  The blade hits doing
           13 points!   The griffin still holding the horse begins
           to falter and get lower.

             Griffin #2 dives toward the horse to help his ally
           but misses as he tries to claw the horse.

             Griffin #4 releases the horse only 2 feet from the ground.
           The horse lands squarely and doesn't fall!  Pyan thrusts
           at the fleeing griffin but fails to hit.

             Suddenly out of the south a white object dives toward
           Griffin #4.  Pyan sees a flash of red then the griffin
           tumbles and crashes to the ground.

             Pyan sees Corona fly over and squawk.  Pyan cheers as
           the strange bird must've been looking out for him.

             With three down the last griffin gives up and flies away.

             Pyan goes to the downed griffins and find each still alive.
           He stabs and ensures they are dead.

             Checking his horse he finds only minor cuts and scraps.

             Pyan finds his 2 wounds are light.  He considers going ot
           Z'leyra or others for healing.  But a hunter relies on
           the wilderness.  If it doesn't heal naturally after he
           dresses it he'll go to town.

             It takes some time for Pyan to calm the horse down.
           But once done they both leave the area.


           [Febris 17th - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]

             Pyan wakes up and checks his wound.  He sees it has indeed
           healed so guess no need to see a healer.

           [Febris 18th - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]

             Today the wound does not heal but it is not infected
           so he'll give it another day.

           [Febris 19th - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]

             Today Pyan discovers the wound is completely healed.  Only
           needed a couple days.

           [Time: 9:56 am]

             While tracking a wounded deer Pyan comes across a camp
           surrounded by boulders and trees well hidden away from general
           view.  Pyan takes time to study and they look like rough men.
           There must be a dozen men around the camp eating breakfast.
           Pyan can hear them talk about stealing silver from a merchant's
           wagon they robbed the previous afternoon.  The road is a good
           3 miles away at best so this must be some kind of bandit camp.
           He knows some like Farseeker would charge in and take them down.
           But he is alone against a dozen men.  So he scurries away.  Maybe
           at least he can let city guards know of the camp.

           [Febris 25th - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]
           [Time 7:11 am]

             Pyan wakes up from eating his rabbit stew to sound of
           horses.  Suddenly a large group of 10 men all armed come
           into sight.  They explain they are after some bandits that
           killed a merchant, robbed him and kidnapped his 10 year old
           daughter.

             Pyan feels sick when he hears this.  There was no sign
           of a girl in the bandit camp?  Unless she was in a tent.
           If they had six days with her no telling if she is still alive.
           Pyan stands and gives directions to the bandit camp which
           is further west.  The men explain if it is the bandits  and
           they can save the girl there may be a reward for him. They ask
           where Pyan can be located in town and he tells them Z'leyra's
           estate.  The men probably hired mercs ride off to find the
           bandits.

           [Febris 26th - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]
           [Time 3:02 pm]

             Pyan riding his hose encounters 6 men and women dressed
           in semi formal robes with blue stripes and symbols.  They
           greet the hunter warmly.  They explain they are heading
           south deep into the hills to find a rare yellow rooster.
           They believe this chicken will bring great wealth to their
           religious group by granting them luck. Pyan rolls his eyes.
           Baby chicks are yellow but when older not yellow.  Course
           if this adult rooster remained yellow then it might be
           a very odd sight.  But it is not Pyan's thing and it is
           at least 2 days away.

           [Febris 27th - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]

             Today is the last day Pyan spends on his Bowyer skill.
            Who knows if he ever learns magic he could make magical
            bows to help boost his chances in combat.

           [Febris 28th - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]

             Pyan decides to practice his Bow skill by using it in hunting
           greatly and target practice.  He figures he can try it for 3
           weeks or so.

           [Marqi 3rd - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]
           [Time: 10:08 am]

             Pyan is running through the hills gleefully.  He is chasing a
           boar for dinner.  He would use his horse which is following but
           running is more sportsman like. Plus it gives him a chance to
           test his Omavor Boar spear he got in taking loot!

             As the boar dodges and weaves suddenly it disappears.
           Pyan figures it found a hole.  But as Pyan nears he sees
           a crack in earth.  He tries to brace but it comes up so
           fast he falls down.  The hole further opens due to his
           size and he is now about 5 feet from the surface.  The
           boar squeals in a  huge panic.  Then as his eyes adjust
           to the darkness the hole is about 30 feet wide while the
           crack is only 3-4 feet wide.  But to his left he notices
           a opening or tunnel.  But the boar continues to panic
           and claw to get up top side.

             Pyan kills the boar if only to get him to hush.  Then
           curious he walks further down.  His fall was mostly taken
           by rocks and sand as he slid down so he did not take
           any damage.  Such places are common for animals to use
           for homes.

             This place looks like a cave system.  As Pyan creeps alone in
           the darkness he enters a large cave that is 50 feet wide and 22-
           23 feet tall.  But there are no natural formations like a cave
           has from erosion.  Then Pyan's spine bristles as he hears a
           moan.  Turning right he then notices a very large form sleeping.

             It is a large man!  No.  As Pyan peers closer it seems
           he has only 1 eye and this guy is 800 or so pounds big.

             Suddenly the thing wakes up and licks his lips and
           sniffs the air.  The thing says a word but Pyan doesn't
           have to be a language expert to know he probably said
           "food".  The thing begins to stir and stand.

             Pyan looks right to where he fell and knows he will
           have to climb to escape and this thing could get him
           firs.  But if he doesn't provoke it maybe he can escape.

             The thing stands and Pyan can see it must be 18 feet
           tall.  Pyan turns and runs.  But suddenly the earth
           begins to shake.  The earthquake forces Pyan into the
           side of the cave and he loses his balance.  He drops
           his boar spear and tries to scramble to his knees. But
           he sees the Earth Giant coming for him.

             Firing a arrow might just piss him off so he gets
           to his feet and runs to the opening.  He tries to
           climb as fast as he can.  Using the rocks and sane he
           does his best impression as a wall climber and gets
           to 2 feet to the surface.  But the sand suddenly
           shifts from another quake and he slips back to the
           ground.

             The Giant roars and lumbers forward ducking as he
           enters the small tunnel.  Pyan stands and tries to
           climb again.  This time he gets to the surface just
           as the giant emerges into the smaller sink hole area.
           Pyan points to the dead boar hoping to distract the
           giant and climbs back to the surface.  Pyan on all
           fours crawls a few feet and sees his horse eating
           like nothing bad going on.

             Pyan looks back and sees nothing.  Maybe the beast doesn't
           like the sun or is eating the boar? Pyan stands and dusts
           himself off.  He realizes he lost his boar spear.  But going
           back for it is not a option.  Pyan steps a few feet toward his
           horse when he hears a roar.

             Turning he sees the giant sticking his top half which is
           still about 12 feet out of the ground. The one eye stares at
           Pyan and he snarls.

             Pyan then realizes he may need a new set of underwear.  He
           runs to his horse and mounts up just as the Giant climbs to the
           surface with a supernatural ease.  The giant now 18 feet above
           the ground wearing leather roars.

             Pyan turns the horse around and orders it to run as best he
           can.  As Pyan looks over his shoulder he notices the giant has
           slipped into the ground like 2-3 feet and seems to be gliding
           toward him as if using the earth to surf a wave!

             Pyan knows this thing is fast.  Pyan curses himself he never
           learned to fire a bow on horseback like some Zen'da do.  The
           horse finally breaks away gaining his stride.  Pyan finally sees
           the giant slip further behind.  Soon it seems the giant tires
           and the distance gets further apart.

             To ensure there is no chance of being found the horse
           continues to ride fast east a couple miles. Then Pyan dismounts
           and checks if he has some clean underwear. He decides best not
           to share this story.


           [Marqi 7th - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]
           [Time: 3:14 pm]

             Pyan encounters while riding looking for game three
           wagons.  With about 10 people in all 3.  They ask
           Pyan where Sivas since they are lost coming from the
           far south.  Pyan gives directions.  The wagons must've gone
           overland for a few days roughly.

           [Marqi 16th - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia - Hills west of Sivas]
           [Time: 12:04 pm]

             Pyan encounters a large group maybe 2 dozen men who
           seem to be enjoying walking in the woods.  They are
           drinking and yelling.  Pyan has heard stories of hill
           folk who just live in the hills never going to the
           city.  These must be some of them.  They don't seem
           to be mean or upset just in a very festive mood.  Pyan
           rides on and wonders if inbreeding is natural for hill
           folk as it seemed with a few of them.

           [Marqi 23rd - Febris 27th, 1635TH]
           [Sivas, Marentia]

             Pyan has several good pelts and fresh meat to sell and
           too much to handle anymore.  So Pyan decides to go to
           Sivas to sell it.  He is not a tanner but the leather
           and animal byproducts should be good to sell.  He gets 29
           copper for the material.

             Pyan decides to stock up on food, rations and water
           again.  Then he decides to head to Z'leyra's place to
           check on the party.  Once there a guard tells him the
           merchant's did send a reward.  The guard tosses a bag
           of 8 silver.  But sadly he reports the girl killed herself
           after nights of torture and rape by the bandits.  But all
           the bandits were killed.

             Pyan feels sad but he had no idea the girl was there and
           to take on 12 men would've been suicide.

           Actions? Comments?

           Next Update....Soon..

           GM: Pyan gave a small IBT and I gave suggestions.  He voted
               for option 2 in my suggestions. The above is based on
               those ideas.  This IBT does point out that going into
               the wild (or for the city for that matter) can be dangerous.
               Pyan did amazing with the Griffins.  But for Giant there
               was little choice but to run.  If he had stayed he'd
               probably be dead. This is why a sop on doing random encounters
               is important.  Just a note the D/A stat boost was not
               from multipilers but from the 4:1 day training to earn 1
               point each.
