Chapter 11: Aiel Dreams, Aiel Spears

Dinner at the 'Smiths' [Adar-24]

• The group have dinner with LordKayen? in an elegant, clean but spartan main hall. It is far from the baroque ostentation to which most of the southerns are used.

• OliviaAnStein and UzulfTzun entertain the diners with the tale of the party's adventures, carefully avoiding too much reference to TheWays?.

• JeninTheArmsman finds it necessary to talk loudly to LordKayen? about the WayGate? and TheWays?.

Another Walk in the UnderWorld?

• The group that night dream their way into the dreamlands. This time it is an escher-like maze of stairs and arches.

• After a while of walking about most of the group end up in a torture chamber being savaged by well-equipped Trollocs - dreams being what they are, escape was useless and the pain most real.

• An Aiel wise woman helps us to escape, by use of will power and a technique of willing yourself back to the place of your bedroom. Most people head straight back to bed & normal sleep.

• JeninTheArmsman dreams he is in a wood fighting Trollocs and ends up badly injured.

• The group meet up when we awake to check we are all ok. Some magic healing is done by OliviaAnStein, her first voluntary use of the OnePower? .

A short stroll [Adar-25]

• The group interviews the farmer who owns the stead near the HowlingCaves?, he knows nothing of interest (so it seems).

• The group aquire a stable boy with promise and travel the short distance to the caves.

• They leave the boy outside with the groups mounts and instructions to:

1. wait until just before dusk and then retire to the stead for shelter.
2. if trolluc arrive to run for the stead.
3. wait for us at the stead if we take sometime to return.

The Howling Caves

• The group enter with JacAlNorey acting as a scout.

• They wander around for a while and find tracks that might be Trolloc ones. They follow these tracks which seem to be exploring the cave rather than moving directly through it.

• The group finds a strange stone cylinder with symbols on it. It have a tingling feal to OliviaAnStein but UzulfTzun feels nothing. The pillar is near the WayGate?.

• JeninTheArmsman seams determined to 'lock' the WayGate?. UzulfTzun watches and is very unhelpful.

• The group continue to search the place without JeninTheArmsman and UzulfTzun.

The Maiden's Kiss

• The rest of the group are ambushed by four female Aiel Warriors that seem to be up to no good in the caves.

• DavorGreshos ends up having his worthiness tested with a deadly game of Maiden's Kiss.

• OliviaAnStein gets involved in a discussion with the Aiel Warriors

Back at the WayGate?

• JeninTheArmsman at last finds the key and opens the gate ...
