Host Lessa says:
USS Cherokee 10203.17 A Dragon's Tale, Part 2

Host Lessa says:
The crew is in the dining hall.  The XO is ready to give a mental image of T'Sara through the firelizard, while the CMO gives it verbally.

Host Lessa says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Continue Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Lessa says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Continue Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Lessa says:
XO:  Who is giving the mental image of the child?

Host XO_Lyon says:
Lessa: I'll do that. Gereth over here can give it to Ramoth.

FCO_Jankara says:
::stands behind the rest of the group still trying to figure out if this is all real or not::

CTO_Worthington says:
::sipping on his drink, waiting for something to happen::

Host XO_Lyon says:
CMO: Can you please tell our hosts what T'Sara looks like?

OPS_Jones says:
::in the dining hall, sitting next to the CSO, listening the XO::

Host CNS_Siatty says:
CTO: Not exactly a normal day on the farm, huh?

Host Lessa says:
::nods her head to the XO:: XO:  Begin please.  Who is giving the verbal description?  ::looking at each of the crew::

CTO_Worthington says:
CNS: You could say that.

CEO_Terumo says:
::finishes a piece of meat, waiting for the next events::

Host F`lar says:
::lets his mate handle the situation for the time being::

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa: The child's name is T'Sara, she has red hair down to her shoulders, green eyes, Her ears are a little pointed at the tips more than normal,  she weighs about 50 pounds and stands about 3 feet tall.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Stands toward the back of the group with Kyleigh in a loose embrace. Listening to the interplay between Rojer and Lessa.::

FCO_Jankara says:
::hears the CNS and wonders if they will be going to a farm next::

XB (spieslikem@actdnet-45712.spn.bluemarble.net) has joined the conversation.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::takes Gereth off his perch on his shoulder and looks him in the eyes:: Gereth: Now give the biggest one this image. Don't be scared. Just show her this image. ::projects a picture of T'Sara for the lizard to pick up::

Host Lessa says:
CMO:  Anything distinguishing about her?

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  She can talk mentally to anyone and is a friendly child

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  Gereth blinks, then relays the image to Ramoth.

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa: She doesn't have any scars on her body, when I last saw her a few turns ago.

Host Lessa says:
<Ramoth> Lessa:  I have the image now... I am sending to the other dragons.

Host F`lar says:
Lessa: Did that lizard come through?

Host Lessa says:
CMO:  She should have been brought to us immediately!  She is a value asset.

Host Lessa says:
F’lar:  Yes, and Ramoth is telling the other dragons, who will in turn tell their riders.

OPS_Jones says:
::feels safe in Kevin's loose embrace ::

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  We just recently found out about her unique gift and were planning on doing so when she was taken

Host XO_Lyon says:
::cringes as Lessa talks about Search::

Host Lessa says:
::Lessa's anger again flares, turning her face red::

Host Lessa says:
::she begins to pace the room, leaving the talking at this point to F’lar::

Host CNS_Siatty says:
::Turns towards Lessa, almost telling her to calm down.  Now is not the time to slip out of character.::

FCO_Jankara says:
::still feels a little cold and wraps her arms around herself::

Host Lessa says:
Ramoth:  I want everything done to find this child.  We need another that can bespeak humans as well as dragons.

CMO_Starr says:
::gives the CNS a look of not now type of look::

CEO_Terumo says:
::watches in interest what Lessa's next action will be::

Host F`lar says:
::sighs inward:: Lessa: I'll take it from here for now.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Follows along with the conversation, and tightens his embrace of Kyleigh when he sees Lessa's sudden angered response and then silence afterward.::

CTO_Worthington says:
::stares down at his drink, not really caring about what is going on::

Host F`lar says:
::looks at the assembled crew:: All: I hope all of you know what she looks like. I need you to help the riders in finding this child.

Host Lessa says:
<Ramoth> Lessa:  All dragonriders are ready.

OPS_Jones says:
::starts to wonder if the child is really here, why else would the Prophets send them here::

FCO_Jankara says:
::feels goosebumps and forces herself not to stomp her feet to warm them up::

Host Lessa says:
<Mnementh> F’lar:  We are ready to search.

CMO_Starr says:
F'lar:  We do

Host F`lar says:
All: We'll give you proper clothing this time, but you're all going to join a rider in helping with the Search.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::blinks:: F'lar:  All of us?

Host Lessa says:
ALL:  If you see any of the people involved and not the child, alert your rider so we can come to your assistance.

CTO_Worthington says:
::hears the conversation and wonders what good a search will do::

Host F`lar says:
::smiles:: XO: Yes, but this time its on the blue and green dragons. They are better at searching than the others.

CEO_Terumo says:
Self: I guess we'll come to know this place very well, either we like it or not.

Host Lessa says:
CMO:  You come with me.  OPS and FCO, you will ride with another rider.

OPS_Jones says:
::nods at Lessa then looks up at Kevin not wanting to leave his side::

Host F`lar says:
All: Manora will give you flight gear, and then we head out.

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  Ok.  ::Looks at the others before she follows her::

Host Lessa says:
ALL:  Get on your riding gear and meet us in the cavern.

Host CNS_Siatty says:
(((CMO: If we came with so little equipment, do you think the kidnappers would also?  Do you think maybe soon their drugs will wear off?)))

FCO_Jankara says:
::nods at the orders she is given::

Host XO_Lyon says:
All: You heard the man. Let's move out. ::gets up::

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  The crew goes back to the changing room, donning riding gear.

Host XO_Lyon says:
F'lar/Lessa: Thanks, we really appreciate this.

Host Lessa says:
::Lessa's expression softens somewhat::  XO:  We will find the child, so have no worries.

CMO_Starr says:
(((CNS: I hope so as well)))

CTO_Worthington says:
::waits with the others for whatever is next::

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  We hope so as well

Host XO_Lyon says:
::gets into the flight gear and then walks out into the Bowl where the dragons are waiting::

CMO_Starr says:
(((CNS:  There is a possibility the child may not even be on the planet. ::sighs mentally::)))

CEO_Terumo says:
::finishes getting dressed and proceeds to the cavern::

CMO_Starr says:
::goes to where Lessa is standing::

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  All riders are waiting for the Cherokee crew to appear.

Host CNS_Siatty says:
::Smiles.::(((CMO: Have faith in the Prophets, there reasoning is seldom clear, until it works out.)))

Host F`lar says:
::makes final arrangements and then walks over to the assembled crew::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Changes into the fight gear, not liking having to separate from Kyleigh once again, but seeing the necessity of it to complete the mission.::

OPS_Jones says:
::gets in her gear and heads off for her assigned rider and dragon::

Host F`lar says:
All: I'm going to assign you to a rider. Listen to what they say, and you will be fine.

CMO_Starr says:
(((CNS:  Trust me I will always have faith in finding her)))

Host F`lar says:
OPS: You're with Torene, and her green dragon is Roth.

FCO_Jankara says:
::changes into her flight gear and follows OPS::

Host F`lar says:
FCO: You're with Mirrim, and her green's name is Path.

OPS_Jones says:
::nods thanks to F'lar::

Host F`lar says:
CTO: You're with K'der, blue rider, and the dragon is Warth.

Host F`lar says:
CEO: You’re with L'trel, rider of blue Falgrenth

FCO_Jankara says:
::walks over to Mirrim, pulling her sleeves down over her palms so the rider won't pick up on her ability::

Host F`lar says:
CNS: You're with B'rant on green Morath

CEO_Terumo says:
::gestures a "thank you" to F'lar::

OPS_Jones says:
::meets up with Torene and Roth::  Torene: I have been assigned to help you with the search.

CNS_Siatty says:
B'rant: Hello, I'm Tach, nice to meet you.

FCO_Jankara says:
Mirrim: I am Jaina, I am to help you find the child.

CTO_Worthington says:
::walks over towards his assigned dragon and rider:: K'der: I am here to assist your search.

CEO_Terumo says:
::approaches a great blue dragon and it's rider:: L'trel: I believe I'll be riding with you. Thank you for your help.

CNS_Siatty says:
<B'rant>: CNS: Greetings, I am B'rant, and this is Morath.  Climb aboard and hold on tight, it’s a bit faster than normal beasts.

OPS_Jones says:
<Torene>  ::thinks what did I do to deserve this punishment::  OPS:  Understood, let's mount and get this over with.  What should I call you?

Host F`lar says:
CSO: You're on Tuenth with S'lan.

OPS_Jones says:
Torene:  I am called Kyleigh.

FCO_Jankara says:
<Mirrim> FCO: You will ride behind me.  ::jumps up onto Path::

CTO_Worthington says:
<K'der> CTO: Get on.

Host F`lar says:
CO/XO: You're with me. ::looks around:: All: Everybody ready?

CMO_Starr says:
::waits for Lessa to mount so she can get up behind her::

CNS_Siatty says:
::Climbs on, patting the dragon and then grabbing tight.::

CTO_Worthington says:
::mounts the dragon as ordered::

CEO_Terumo says:
<L'trel> CEO: Come up behind me. Let us start this search. I've been told this child is very precious.

Host Lessa says:
::nods at F’lar::  F’lar:  Ready on your signal dragon leader.

CMO_Starr says:
::cautiously pet Ramoth while waiting::

CMO_Starr says:
::gets up behind Lessa quickly::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Heads over to the rider whom has identified himself as Tuenth.:: Tuenth: I am Kevin. I have been assigned  to accompany you and S'lan.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::quickly gets onto Mnementh with F'lar's help, and reaches down to help Irandor onto the beast.:: F'lar: We're ready.

Host Lessa says:
CMO:  Hold tight!

Host F`lar says:
::as soon as everybody is mounted, gives the traditional signal to rise::

FCO_Jankara says:
::jumps onto Path behind Mirrim::

Host Lessa says:
::holds lightly to Ramoth's neck ridge as she rises into the air, soaring out of the cave::

CMO_Starr says:
::holds on to the safety straps and Lessa::

CEO_Terumo says:
::gets on Falgrenth and pats him gently::

CTO_Worthington says:
::holds on tight as they ascend::

Host F`lar says:
::braces as Mnementh rises and flies high::

CEO_Terumo says:
<L'trel>CEO: Hold on now. This might be hard for you, if you're not accustomed.

CMO_Starr says:
::looks around as we go airborne::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::better prepared this time and braces as the dragon springs high for the all important downsweep of the wings::

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  As the riders reach the clear morning air, they disappear "between", each heading in a different direction.

FCO_Jankara says:
::grabs a hold as they take off::

CNS_Siatty says:
::Feels the strength in creature’s wings, and then the utter chill of the "between", wondering how long it will last.::

CSO_Nash says:
<S'lan> Kevin:  Just hang on tight and don't shift any. Tuenth would just as soon eat a pesky morsel as carry it.

OPS_Jones says:
<Torene>  OPS:  All right Kyleigh. This is Roth, please be kind to her, she has been a temperamental lately.

FCO_Jankara says:
::takes a deep breath and holds it while they are "between"::

CEO_Terumo says:
::hangs on to the dragon, knowing this time what "between" will feel like::

CTO_Worthington says:
::cringes as the slip "between"::

OPS_Jones says:
<Roth>  ::eyes the stranger with caution::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::takes a deep breath as he knows they are going "between"::

Host Lessa says:
::suddenly Ramoth appears over Ruatha Hold:  CMO:  Look down, that is where I was born.

FCO_Jankara says:
<Mirrim> FCO: You look afraid farmer, are you all right?

CMO_Starr says:
::looks down:: Lessa: It is so pretty

Host Lessa says:
::Ramoth circles in, giving a greeting to the watchdragon::

Host F`lar says:
::gives Mnementh the placing from his mind and they go to High Reaches::

CEO_Terumo says:
::feels his senses coming back online::

CSO_Nash says:
<S'lan> Kevin: Hang on. We are about to enter the between. :: Hangs on tightly.::

OPS_Jones says:
::she gets on and holds on tight to Torene as Roth takes flight and heads "between"::

FCO_Jankara says:
Mirrim: Just not used to flying. ::mutters to herself "On a dragon anyway"::

Host Lessa says:
::Ramoth lands gently in the courtyard::  CMO:  Let me help you down.  We need to speak to Lytol.

OPS_Jones says:
<Torene>  OPS:  Hang on Kyleigh, we are going to go to Bitra to start our search.

CEO_Terumo says:
<L'trel>CEO: You look pale, farmer. It would seem you haven't accustomed yourself to "between" yet, but don't worry. Before we're done, you'll be!

CNS_Siatty says:
<B'rant>: CNS: OK, the worst is over now.  Look about, the view from up here is without equal.  There is Keroon just below.

CEO_Terumo says:
<between>

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  Thank you ::steps down:: Ramoth:  thank you for the nice ride

CTO_Worthington says:
::after exiting between they continue to fly:: K'der: Where are we going?

OPS_Jones says:
::nods as they head for Bitra and she clings to Torene with dear life::

Host F`lar says:
<Mnementh>::bursts from "between" and calls out a greeting to the watchdragon::

Host Lessa says:
::Lessa descends from Ramoth, stroking an eyeridge::  CMO:  Follow me.

CTO_Worthington says:
<K'der> CTO: We are going to Lemos farmer.

CNS_Siatty says:
B'rant: And what will we find there?

Host XO_Lyon says:
::relaxes a bit as they appear, the coldness of "between" somehow less frightening::

Host Lessa says:
::striding like a man, she takes off through doors wide enough for 6 men abreast::

CMO_Starr says:
::pets Ramoth once more and then follows Lessa trying to catch up::

Host F`lar says:
(((Mnementh: Take us down, please. We'll go speak to the Lord Holder.)))

CSO_Nash says:
<S'lan> Kevin: We are back again, and we have just arrived above Nerat. Are you ready? :: Kevin prepares as Tuenth begins to land.::

Host Lessa says:
Drudge:  You there, where can Lytol be found?

FCO_Jankara says:
<Mirrim> FCO: We are going to Crom.

Host Lessa says:
<Drudge> Lessa:  He is out in the field.  Shall I go for him?

CMO_Starr says:
::looks around the hold::

CNS_Siatty says:
<B'rant>: CNS: With any luck, the child we seek.  Or rumor of her.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::enjoys the ride as they spiral down to the main courtyard. He wants to say something to Irandor, but the wind is too much::

CTO_Worthington says:
K'der: Whatever you say.

Host Lessa says:
Drudge:  Yes, please find him.  Is Lord Jaxom here?

CEO_Terumo says:
<L'trel>CEO: We're arriving at Ista. It's possible someone there has seen this child.

OPS_Jones says:
<Torene>  ::after returning from "between", she climbs down to help Kyleigh down::  OPS:  So, what can you tell me about this child we are supposed to be looking for?

Host F`lar says:
::grins as he sees his companions' reactions::

FCO_Jankara says:
::begins looking at the area below, hoping to find some trace of T'Sara or her kidnappers.

FCO_Jankara says:
::

Host Lessa says:
<Drudge> Lessa:  No, he is at High Reaches practising with Ruth. ::waiting to be dismissed::

OPS_Jones says:
Torene:  Not much, I never met the child myself.  I just know what you do.

CMO_Starr says:
::discreetly runs scans of the area searching for any transponder signals::

CSO_Nash says:
<S'lan> Kevin: Shall we begin our search for this child? What can you tell me of her?

CNS_Siatty says:
<Morath> ::Lands to let the riders off.::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::a bit disappointed as Mnementh lands, but quickly gets down, helping Irandor dismount::

Host Lessa says:
::waving her hand she dismisses the drudge::  CMO:  Take a seat, we have to wait for Lytol.  Would you like something warm to drink?

FCO_Jankara says:
::dismounts as soon as they land::

CNS_Siatty says:
::Slides off Morath's back, almost falling face first on the grass.:: Self: Oof.

OPS_Jones says:
<Torene>  ::groans::   OPS:  Then why are you here then if you don't know what she likes like then?

CEO_Terumo says:
::sees that we're approaching an island::

Host F`lar says:
::jumps down and heads for the main Hold, gesturing the CO & XO to follow him::

CTO_Worthington says:
::flying over immense fields, they land:: K'der: So, what now?

CNS_Siatty says:
<B'rant>: CNS: Easy there, friend.  That's why visitors seldom ride the dragons.  ::Jumps down and helps CNS up.::

CEO_Terumo says:
<L'trel> (((Falgrenth: Please take us down. We must speak to the Lord Holder.)))

FCO_Jankara says:
Mirrim: I think I will check that mining area while you check with the people here.

OPS_Jones says:
Torene:  I want to look for her, since she is just a child not knowing much of life.

CSO_Nash says:
S'lan: Nothing more than you have already been told, I haven't met her personally, but I was recently shown what she looks like.

FCO_Jankara says:
<Mirrim> FCO: I will be with you in a moment.

CNS_Siatty says:
B'rant: A pity, despite the difficulty dismounting, the ride is incredible.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::looks around a bit and strips off the helmet and gloves, glad the flight gear is warm:: Self: Winter in the mountains... ugh!

CTO_Worthington says:
<K'der> CTO: Now we begin to look for the child. Follow me. ::they begin to walk across the fields::

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa: Yes I would something warm please.  ::takes a seat::

FCO_Jankara says:
::begins walking towards the mining area::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::follows F'lar as they head into the hold::

Host Lessa says:
::claps her hands loudly and a drudge runs in::  Klah for both of us, and some wine and cheese as well.

CEO_Terumo says:
::feels Falgrenth starting to loose altitude, making his way to the island::

OPS_Jones says:
<Torene>  OPS:  Very well, You stick to me.  ::turns to Roth::  (((Roth:  Stay her but keep alert, I may need you at a moments notice.)))

FCO_Jankara says:
::pulls off her gloves and rubs her hands together::

Host Lessa says:
CMO:  Tell me about yourself.

CMO_Starr says:
::reads the scans when Lessa is not looking and realizes that T'Sara is not in the immediate vicinity, sighs inward::

CNS_Siatty says:
<B'rant>: CNS: Come, follow me, there is the one we must speak with first.  ::Walks to the leader of Keroon Hold.::

OPS_Jones says:
<Roth>  ::nods and blinks in a reluctant agreement::

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  There is not much to tell.  My parents were fishermen in Tillek Hold.  When they noticed I had a gift for healing things, I was sent to the healing hall to be apprenticed.

CSO_Nash says:
<S'lan> Kevin: If that is the best that we can do then I hope her talents are strong enough for Tuenth to pick up on.

Host F`lar says:
::enters the main hold and calls for Bargen, the Lord Holder::

Host Lessa says:
CMO:  Then you have worked with Master Oldive?

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  yes briefly.  When thread began to fall I went back to my family  to help there

CNS_Siatty says:
::Watches from a few steps back as B'rant speaks with the leader, trying to appear nervous.::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::looks around at the inside of the hold, noting some excellent weaving on the walls::

FCO_Jankara says:
::enters the first mine and begins looking around::

CEO_Terumo says:
:: they land near the northern bowl :: <L'trel> CEO: Let's find Warbret. We'll see if he can find us.

FCO_Jankara says:
<Mirrim> ::speaks with the people of this hold to see if the child has been seen here::

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa: Tell me a bit about you.  You like being weyrwoman?

CNS_Siatty says:
::Decides the attempt must be made.::  (((T'Sara: Can you here me?  Are you near?)))

Host Lessa says:
CMO: And what did you think of him?

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  Master Oldive.  He is one of the best healers on Pern.  I was lucky to learn from him

Host Lessa says:
ACTION:  Lytol comes running into the room, red faced.

CTO_Worthington says:
::they approach a very small village:: K'der: Are we going to meet someone?

Host F`lar says:
::finally finds Bargen in his office and calls the other two in:: Bargen: I need your help, its quite urgent.

Host Lessa says:
<Lytol> Lessa:  Why didn't you let me know you were coming?  Is there a problem? ::looking at the woman with her::

CMO_Starr says:
::Nods at the Man who just looked like he ran a marathon::

CSO_Nash says:
:: They enter Nerat hold and begin a search for T'sara.::

CEO_Terumo says:
::makes his way behind L'trel as he looks around and sees a beautiful scenery, where the extinct volcano has a gap that allows you to see the ocean ahead::

Host Lessa says:
Lytol:  Did not Ruth tell Jaxom about the missing child?

CTO_Worthington says:
<K'der> CTO: Yes, we are looking for a man. He would probably know if any strangers were in the area.

Host XO_Lyon says:
<Bargen> ::looks up surprised to see F'lar, but retains his composure:: F'lar: Of course. What is it? ::gives the two men with F'lar a curious look.::

Host Lessa says:
<Lytol> Lessa:  Yes he did, but then he ran out the door.  Is that why you are here?  ::seeing the drudge come in, he motions for the tray to be sat down::

FCO_Jankara says:
::walks into the mine a little deeper trying to see if anyone is or has been in there recently::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::nods politely at the man, but lets F'lar do the talking. Absentmindedly give the lizard on his shoulder a caress::

Host Lessa says:
Lytol:  Yes, but I would like this woman to give you a description, and have you people stay on the lookout for her.  ::nodding for the CMO to respond::

FCO_Jankara says:
<Mirrim> ::walks up the incline and joins the FCO in the mine::

Host F`lar says:
Bargen: These are farmers from Tillek, and they have travelled almost across the continent to get aid in searching for a child that could very well be the next Weyrwoman.

CMO_Starr says:
::gives Lytol a description of T'Sara:: Lytol: Have you seen any new people in the area?

CEO_Terumo says:
<L'trel>CEO: We are fortunate. I believe it is him over there. Come along quickly.

CTO_Worthington says:
::they enter the village which is sparsely populated and proceed towards a dwelling:: <K'der> Out loud: You here old man?

Host Lessa says:
<Lytol> CMO:  Had anyone come into the area, I would have been notified immediately... that is unless someone was paid well not to tell me.

CEO_Terumo says:
<Warbret> L'trel: L'trel, what an unexpected pleasure. It's been a while since you've graced us with your presence.

CMO_Starr says:
Lytol: That is very possible, sir,.  This child is quite valuable.  Has anyone recently taken extra stuff from your healing hall that normally wouldn't be used?

OPS_Jones says:
<Torene>  OPS:  This place is full of livestock, we are going to search in all pens.

CTO_Worthington says:
::an older man walks toward K'der and Trent:: <Old man>;  Ah, hello K'der. Is there something you need?

Host Lessa says:
::Lytol scratches his head::  CMO:  Not that I know of, but I can check ::turning abruptly he leaves the room::

Host F`lar says:
::smiles to himself at Bargen's reaction:: Bargen: This is Rojer and Irandor. They'll give you a description and you must circulate it throughout your Hold.

CEO_Terumo says:
<L'trel>Warbret: We've come on a search, and I hope you can find us. We search for a child, and maybe she's here, or passed through, perhaps boarding a ship.

OPS_Jones says:
Torene:  Lead the way, the sooner T'Sara is found the sooner we can go back to our respected lives.

Host XO_Lyon says:
::nods at Bargen again, and gives F'lar a look::

CNS_Siatty says:
<B'rant>: CNS: There have been no signs of the child, but the actual search is to begin now.  We'll start with the stables.

CSO_Nash says:
<S'lan> Kevin: Let's search some of the forest around the houses.

OPS_Jones says:
<Torene>  OPS:  You get no argument there.

CTO_Worthington says:
<K'der> Old man: I need to speak with you about something.

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  I suspect they are keeping the child unconscious so those who are empathic/telepathic can not hear her cry for help ::seeing Lessa's Questionable look::

FCO_Jankara says:
<Mirrim> FCO: There is no sight of the child here.

Host F`lar says:
::grins at Rojer and nods that he continues::

Host Lessa says:
::Lessa smiles at the old mans abrupt departure::  CMO:  You must make allowances for him.  He doesn't mean to be so stern, it is just his nature since he lost his dragon.

CSO_Nash says:
S'lan: That sounds good, I see lots of possible hiding places.

OPS_Jones says:
::she follows Torene into a pen and begins her search taking care not to step where the livestocks were::

CEO_Terumo says:
<Warbret>L'trel: She must be an important child, for a dragonrider to search for her. We shall provide all the help we can to you and the farmer with you. I shall gather some help. Please wait a moment.

Host Lessa says:
CMO:  Then that might mean, it is someone in the healing craft... that is not good.

CTO_Worthington says:
<Old man> K'der: Well you and your friend can come in.  Please, have a seat. ::motions towards a table with three chairs::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::gives Irandor a quick look, and getting a nod turns to Bargen::  Bargen: We'll she's my niece and has been kidnapped. ::proceeds to explain what she looks like and sticks to the cover story as closely as possible.::

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  I understand.  I feel for his loss.  I'm sure he feels the loss deeply.  How did he survive?  Most riders die when their dragons die, I was taught.  That is a very good possibility they someone from the hall may have aided them

Host XO_Lyon says:
We'll to well>

Host Lessa says:
CMO:  For Master Oldive's sake, I hope not...

CTO_Worthington says:
::everyone sits at the table:: <Old man> K'der/Trent: Can I get you something to drink?

CMO_Starr says:
::takes a bit of the cheese and drinks more klah trying not to grimace at the bitter taste::

CTO_Worthington says:
Old man: Yes, thank you. <K'der> Old man: Nothing for me.

FCO_Jankara says:
Mirrim: How long since someone was in here?

OPS_Jones says:
<Torene>  OPS:  Oh one other thing, keep as quiet as possible, we don't want to disturb the caretakers.

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  I also hope so.  Master Oldive tries very hard to be honest and thorough.

CNS_Siatty says:
B'rant: At least the land is open, besides the buildings there is no place to hide.

Host Lessa says:
::Lytol enters the room once again::  Lessa: None of our medicines are missing, but I will keep a close watch on them.

Host XO_Lyon says:
<Bargen> XO: Well... I haven't heard anything yet... but I'll send out the word and description. ::to F'lar:: I'll keep you informed and send the watchdragon if I get anything.

CEO_Terumo says:
<L'trel>CEO: Let's hope we can gather information here. This is an important Hold, especially for those going out to sea.

FCO_Jankara says:
<Mirrim> FCO: No one has worked in here for at least 3 turns.

CTO_Worthington says:
::the old man hands a drink to Trent:: Old man: Thank you. ::Trent takes a sip:: Old man: Wow! What is this!

Host Lessa says:
Lytol:  Thank you for your hospitality, and tell that young rascal I want a big hug the next time I see him.

FCO_Jankara says:
Mirrim: Then why are there fresh footprints leading in here?

Host XO_Lyon says:
::nods as if he expected that response::

FCO_Jankara says:
<Mirrim> FCO: I do not know.

CTO_Worthington says:
<Old man> Trent: Just a little home brew. I am glad you like it. K'der: Now, what can I do for you?

Host Lessa says:
CMO:  Shall we go?  We need to fly over Ruatha.  Ramoth can spot anything that moves.

Host F`lar says:
Bargen: I can't ask for more, but make your people understand that this is important.

FCO_Jankara says:
Mirrim: I think in that case, I want to check further down before we go anywhere else.

OPS_Jones says:
Torene:  No problem there.  ::as she accidentally steps in the wrong place::  Oh gross.

CNS_Siatty says:
<B'rant>: CNS: Yes, but the buildings are numerous, and filled with many places to hide.  Add to that the noise of the horses, and it shall take some time.

CMO_Starr says:
::Finishes off the cheese she was eating:: Lytol:  Thank you and please ask your people to look for the child ::follows Lessa::

OPS_Jones says:
<Torene>  ::hands her a cloth::  OPS:  Wipe it off and be done with it.

Host Lessa says:
::walking over, she hugs the old man::  Lytol, you take care and send word if anyone sees anything unusual.  ::the old man hugs her, then nods he will::

CTO_Worthington says:
<K'der> Old man: We are here looking for a child. Have you seen anyone new here lately?

Host Lessa says:
::walking quickly, she heads out of the hold and into the courtyard, where Ramoth waits patiently for her rider to return::

FCO_Jankara says:
<Mirrim> FCO: Others are checking the hills around this place.  Remain here, I will bring some fire to light our way.

CMO_Starr says:
::follows Lessa just a step behind her::

Host Lessa says:
CMO:  I am quite impressed that heights do not scare you.

CEO_Terumo says:
:: Warbret arrives with a dozen men :: <Warbret> L'trel: These men will help you. Can you describe this child to us?

Host F`lar says:
CO/XO: Let's get up in the air again. ::thanks Bargen again and leads the way outside::

FCO_Jankara says:
::waits impatiently as Mirrim returns with two torches for them::

Host Lessa says:
::stepping up on Ramoth's leg, she slings her leg over and grabs the strap, positioning herself on the neck ridge, once again::

CTO_Worthington says:
<Old man> K'der: Nope, I can't say that I have. They are having a celebration at the village through the woods. A very large feast. Someone may have seen something over there.

FCO_Jankara says:
Mirrim: Then let's get going. ::starts down the mine again::

CNS_Siatty says:
::Starts walking through the stable, looking in each pen.

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  As a child I used to go find the highest areas I could find and make a rope and climb down them.. Scared my parents but I loved it  ::smiling::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::follows the Weyrleader outside and stops:: F'lar: So was that good or bad?

Host Lessa says:
::Lessa grins::  CMO:  You had a luxury I did not.  I had to fight for all that I hold dear.

CTO_Worthington says:
<K'der> Old man: Well, I guess we will have to check there then. Trent: Let's go ahead and get going.

FCO_Jankara says:
::follows the footprints in the dust and begins walking a little faster::

CEO_Terumo says:
<L'trel>All: Listen up. We are looking for a 2,5 Turns old girl, red hair to her shoulders, green eyes and pointy ears.

CTO_Worthington says:
K'der: Fine. ::puts down his drink and follows K'der::

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa:  I heard the stories.  I admit I was lucky. But I am also envious you were able to impress a dragon

Host F`lar says:
XO: Not too bad, I'd say. WE have to inform the Lords Holder so they can send out instructions to their people. come, we're going to fly around a bit.

OPS_Jones says:
::follows Torene to other pens and their search comes up with nothing::

CNS_Siatty says:
B'rant: I know they are nothing compared to the likes of Morath, but these are fine mounts.

FCO_Jankara says:
::hears voices at the end of the mine shaft and struggles to hear what they are saying::

CTO_Worthington says:
<Old man> K'der/Trent: Nice seeing you. Hope you find whom you are looking for. ::K'der and Trent head towards the woods::

Host XO_Lyon says:
::gets onto Mnementh again and actually starts enjoy flying around::

Host Lessa says:
::putting her hand down to help the CMO up she says::  CMO:  Yes, my Ramoth is magnificent isn't she?

CSO_Nash says:
S'lan: If necessary, I may have you and Tuenth search from the skies as I search from the ground.

Host Lessa says:
CMO:  Are you ready for flight?

CSO_Nash says:
<S'lan> Kevin: I hate separating, but that sounds like a good strategy.

CMO_Starr says:
Lessa: Yes I am and yes your dragon is splendid

Host Lessa says:
Ramoth:  Now my dear, let us fly over Ruatha.
