Kalyr is set in my original fantasy world of Kalyr, and focuses on the struggle between the ancient and decadent kandar civilisation, and their rebellious human slaves. It features psionics, arcane technology, strange alien races, mystery and intrigue. Influences include Gene Wolfe & Jack Vance, but don't let that put you off!

Kalyr 112 - Left to their own devices (Hank, Roy)

"I meant *now*, rather than sometime in the future", Kala replies.

With the Karazthani occupied with the mysterious unconscious prisoner 
Hank and Roy aren't able to help with, the pair of them are left to 
wander about the Karazthan unsupervised.

Kalyr 112 - Left to their own devices (Hank, Roy)

Without undue haste or Hank picks up his gear, and makes to go back toward
where they spent the previous night.

"Roy?" he says, casually, if Roy doesn't follow suit. "Eway eednay otay
alktay."

Roy goggles at him for a second, then it clicks. "Oh! Yeah, right." He 
follows, making note of any interesting detours on the way out.

Hand and Roy have little difficulty finding somewhere to talk without 
being overheard.  They're not so sure about any listening devices, the 
technology here, a wierd mix of the primitive and advanced, is 
sufficiently strange that they don't know quite what to look for.

As for exits, there's don't seem to be too many, and they're all 
guarded. The guards seem to be more interested in preventing interlopers 
from getting in than stopping people from getting out.

[OOC: Okiday. ;) (If anyone's read a graphic novel called "Y: The Last Man",
there's a similar 'riff' in it...thought it was neat, is all...)]

Hank gets down to business:
"First off... you OK? Looks like we're the only ones here from Earth, let
alone America- we ought to at LEAST keep tabs on each other, right?"

(If Roy says he's alright, Hank rummages in his stuff, and produces a small
bottle of Southern Comfort, offering a share to his fellow-traveler. He
continues :) 

"So. What do YOU think of all this? I'm a bit overwhelmed, y'know?"
"What do you figure you'll do?" 

>As for exits, there's don't seem to be too many, and they're all

Hank studies this, as well.

"Once we get set, I'm going to have to take a walk. Too much cooping-up... I
just need to _move_, y'know? It's just getting back in that'd be the
problem."

Roy nods. "I'd about kill somebody for a pack of smokes, though."

Roy takes a healthy snort and hands it back.

>"So. What do YOU think of all this? I'm a bit overwhelmed, y'know?" 

Roy shrugs. "If ya think about it too much, you'll just go crazy, but
there was a lot of stuff back home like that, too. Nothin' we can do
but just get through it, right?"

>"What do you figure you'll do?"  

"I wanna look around some more...might be they could use someone who's
a good hand with horses. Wonder if they've got rodeo here?"

Hank grins, ruefully. "Sorry. But, next 7-11 we get to? My treat."

"Heh. Maybe. Tell you what- I won't work 'til we both find work, if it comes
to that. Deal?" 

(Offers hand on it.)

"Well... we won't know 'til we try."

(He hoists his stuff, and begins looking for an exit, keeping an eye out for
anyone official who might be watching.)

The two guards on the nearest exist are in deep conversation with a man 
who's just walked in off the street, who appears to be a friend or 
acquaintance of one if not both of them.  Neither seems to be paying 
much attention to the exit.

"...outside the Citadel...", says the visitor, "...turnips...."

The visitor continues. "Not very effective.  Too squishy".

The guards don't seem to be paying much attention to the entrance.

Roy shrugs, then points towards the entrance. He slowly starts walking 
that way, quietly.

Roy walks past both guards, and finds himself in the street. The street 
at this point is too narrow for two carts to pass, but the traffic seems 
entirely pedestrian. It's very light.

There are no buildings on the opposite side of the street, just a low 
stone wall.  Looking over the wall, Roy finds himself with a view across 
the docks.  There's not much activity going on; he seems two large 
barges tied up, with a number of carts and one large eight-wheeled 
truck. Most of the people don't seem to be working.  They're just 
standing and watching.

There's a lot of noise coming from the opposite side of the docks. 
Roy's eyes follow the source of the noise to see a large crowd outside a 
massive stone fortress.  He realises that some of the crowd are armed, 
and look an awful lot like soldiers in their manner and dress.  He 
realises that he's witnessing what appears to be a riot of sorts.  A 
wedge of soldiers seems to pushing into the rioters, while snatch squads 
are going after the ringleaders.  Heads are being broken.

Yes. He tightens the straps on his pack, and grips his walking stick in a
way that will let him "use" it ASAP, but he follows.
