Elta looks at Halleck and says without boast or pride, simply stating a fact, "The desert belongs to the Fremen. Anyone on this planet who doesn't know that is a fool and underestimates us."

Elta stood and waited for the inspection to end.
Elta watches the man approach Kasit and question him and watches intently.
Elta quietly gets out of the truck and moves over next to the others from the truck.
Elta goes to the truck and grabs a hold of it and swings in. He looks at the others when they get in and says "Let's see if this trip gets any more exciting."
Knowledges aren't Elta's thing. I have History and that is it so any DC greater than 10 he's useless.
Elta looks directly at the one with the stained lips and says "We heard a thopter come in and appear to do a drop. After the previous trouble we alerted the guards here and headed out into the desert and hid. When the troop arrived we ambushed them. The one on Borak activated a shield. The one I fought was on drugs, I could smell them. He grabbed me. That was a mistake. I quickly killed him. The others dispatched theirs. I heard the one Borak fought say something. Then the corpses blew up. Next I heard the thopter coming back on an attack run and yelled for everyone to disperse. It launched a missile at killed and wounded many." Elta nods when finished.
Elta managed to move far enough away to take minor damage. He moves back in to see who needs help.
Elta looks up and yells "Incoming thopter missile attack! Spread out!" He then heads due west to try and spread the group out.
Elta looks to the now retreating troops and says [b]"Jarrlo troops! Head more toward their drop off point."[b] He then angles toward where he thinks the troops will soon be.
Seeing the man has his held close, Elta smiles and then unleashes a flurry of blows against the man.
Elta arises from the sands silent as a shadow and attacks the man quietly and swiftly trying to hit him in the back of the head to stun him.
Elta is one with the sand and it whispers the secrets of the surface to him.
Elta finds a place in the sands and settles in. Waiting for the enemy to come to him. His breathing is slow and rhythmic almost not there.
Elta says "Wake up the truck guards and have them tell the local Limir guards what is coming in. The sands are ours. We should take them out in the sands so the don't see us. Hit the from the side if we can though, not head on. Get ahead of them and hide and when they are on top of us kill them."
Elta says "I think you are right. Best to camp with the truck and set a watch. I doubt they will come after us in town but you never know."
Elta says "We have been offered to continue on with the convoy. That may be our best bet for now and now we know to look out for an ambush."
Good luck with your operation.
Elta quietly emerges from the sand and gets behind one of the smugglers and quickly lashes out with a chop and a kick.
Elta comes out of her meditation and looks around. He says "I see the storm is over. Trouble huh?" He then gets out and heads to one of the sand dunes and hides.
Elta continues meditating in the truck.
Elta works hard and moves items from one truck to the other. When that is finished he gets into the back of the truck and makes as comfortable space as he can for himself. He looks to the others in the back with him and smiles. "Well" he says "It looks like we are going to be here for a while. I am going to meditate. I will use less air that way. To bring me out just say 'Elta' and I will awaken."
Elta sees the man is out of his element and is earnest about getting opinions. Elta then thinks for a moment about how to survive a storm.
Elta looks at the trucks and says "Either the front or the rear will get hit. I'll take rear."
Elta nods and says "Finding a way to Atoric should be first priority I think."
Elta gathers his few belongings and purchases some food and a tent for the journey. He lines up with the others and is ready for their first test together.
Elta looks a bit stumped for the moment and shrugs. He then says "I doubt a Spice Guild spy is standing around with a sign that says what he is. Anyone have any ideas on trying to track one down? I know we can't go back to the village we were just in."
Once family is done, Elta approaches the body. He looks down and says "I didn't know Ghir long, but he was a very important part of my life. He helped set Ethan and I free from the outworlders. I take this paracompus to remind me of the freedom he gave me, the freedom to roam this world."
Elta watches as Ghir loses his battle to control himself. He bows his head solemnly and silently thanks Ghir for rescuing him. When bid to leave he heads out of the room.
You all have been busy today. First time on the board today and there were 12 in discussion and 5 or so in gameplay.
Elta steps forward and puts his hand out and into the box. Using his knowledge of surviving in the desert heat and sand he battles pulling his hand out of the box but doesn't.
Elta rests up just happy to not have anyone adding any more bumps and bruises for a few hours. The journey here certainly added a few more. Elta turns to the others and says "How are we going to get the crates onto the worms?" When the time comes he helps in getting the worms.
Elta stops and breaths deeply after that dash. He doesn't notice much around him as he looks around astonished there was a seal here.
Elta continues on toward the rocks.
Elta gets out of the truck and starts dragging the crate away. He says "That was some good driving. We all came out alive. I wonder if we can flip it back over and continue."
Elta hears about their guests remains quiet in the back hidden among the crates. When they are dropped he makes himself ready for the impact. He shouts "Brace yourself!"
I was of the impression that fremen viewed all fremen as some sort of family and it was fremen against the outworlders. I could be wrong but leaving them to die due to the Harkonnan's actions seems harsh. I'm not saying stop and pick them up but more get out of sight and then pick them up. Unless we are pursued.
I think we need to talk about the shield wall a little. It is not a wall. It is a set of rocky mountains or cliffs up to about 4600 meters high. They are marked on the world map. That being said the village does have a wall or fence around it according to it's map. It looks like it only has the one gate out.
Elta gets into the back of the truck and begins to hide himself. He says to the others "Let's get out of here before we have to fight off more than we can kill. Anyone know how to use a lasgun if it comes to that?"
Elta says emphatically, "The sooner we are out of the place of debauchery and disgust the better!"
Elta pulls on Aliyan's hand and says "We go with them." To their rescusers he says "We owe you a water debt and will help however we can." |
